Do you believe in Magic? Do you believe in God? Or the in Force of Nature? Or in Higher Powers? When I see what Men have done to make the world a more harmonious place to inhabit, a more pleasant place, when I hear music that touches my heart, I have a hard time believing those works come solely from people’s brain and abilities. Bach, Purcell, Mozart… Composers can channel energies, love, celestial music and heal our souls. Listen to this song by Henry Purcell, who wrote so many deeply moving pieces of music, listen to this beautiful counter tenor voice, this incredible instrument which is the theorbo, close your eyes and feel your worries melt down, love for yourself and for your dear ones vibrate in your heart and expand. Feel your belief in yourself and in mankind get stronger. Listen to this piece and others which touch your heart and think about questions you have. You will intuitively have answers.
Music expands our intuition just like it heals us because it is a direct channel to God (or whatever it is you believe, or don’t believe in) and what is universal about mankind.
Music for a while
Lyrics by John Dryden, Music by Henry Purcel.
Music for a while
Shall all your cares beguile.
Wond'ring how your pains were eas'd
And disdaining to be pleas'd
Till Alecto free the dead
From their eternal bands,
Till the snakes drop from her head,
And the whip from out her hands.
Music for a while
Shall all your cares beguile.
