Music Before the Fall (2/2)
Orchestral Music experts consider the harmonic structure of these folkish harmonies to be among the most complex, But this musical "complexity" is not the result of artificiality and abstraction. Like the complexity of a stream that is not a man-made invention. It is the purest sound of music in the world spanning thousands of years.
And the lyrics of course: natural, simple, spiritual. It is as if all birth, life, and death have been transformed into sound.
Modern music (Nearly of any kind) on the other hand is the epitome of artificiality, dishonesty, narcissism, and affectation. The "self" is everything; even when the lyrics appear religious, romantic, or spiritual.
