All
we can give back and all God wants from an of us is to humbly and proudly
return the product that we have been given - which is ourselves. We are already
participating in something very good,
in spite of our best efforts to deny it or avoid it.
There
is nothing to join, only something to recognize, suffer, and enjoy as a participant. You are already in the eternal flow that Christians would call
the divine life of the Trinity.
Richard Rohr
Thinking
about music.
Phrase: the smallest
structural unit. A kind of musical molecule consisting of a number of
integrated musical events, possessing a certain completeness, and well adapted
to combination w/other similar units.
The
term means structurally, a unit approximating to what could be sung in a single
breath. It's ending suggests a form of punctuation such as a comma.
Harmony: supports melody.
The mutual accommodation of melody and harmony is difficult at first. But the
composer should never invent a melody w/out being conscious of its harmony.
Effective Phrasing:
1) think in terms of a complete musical
statment.
2)
an awareness of the harmonic background
3)
playing w/rhythmic definition
