Oh my.
You have put me in the perfect(?) mood for my morning rehearsal. We sing Rutter's Requiem tomorrow night and spend this am with the orchestra. I have ten minutes to think about Death and Consequences (sounds like a TV show)before I leave.
Death---which is absolutely impossible to really consider-don't you think?--maybe that's why we have to have an afterlife-how else can we look at ourselves post mortem. Because if we don't live on, if we disappear, then we miss the whole thing. I hate missing anything. No one wants to be left out. Uninvited to the party. Wallflowers at the dance. Gotta be there!
And the music written for it, about it, is glorious! Even the Rutter, which Ammo said condesecendingly is rather lightwright compared to Mozart;s and Bach's Requiems-has tremendous power. Death is the great mystery. We are the great mystery. We can't save ourselves from death--but doggone it-we don't want to get left out of the universal party so there must be a way out. God-? Universal Spirit? Something bigger and better than death.
Dunno.
Gotta go sing about it though.
