The Bible and Music

On Wednesday we had two guest speakers. It was very nice to have a change of pace in class. It is always exciting when we have guest speakers. I enjoyed learning more than the basics about the composer Arvo Part. It music was very interesting to listen to as was his life. I liked how he invented his own technique in composing. I found it very interesting when one of the professors said that he played a Bach piece backwards in order to “unplay” Bach. I thought that was strange but a cool concept. Although I do not understand why he would want to “unplay” Bach. Overall, I enjoyed listening to his music and even looked some up afterwards. I think it could be great music to study to or relax to.
