Music: Opus Alchymicum by Wilfrid Mellers - Paul Ferguson - 07-24-2024
"This work is based on the three times three 'stages' of mediaeval alchemy. There is nothing arcane about this: for musical composition is of its nature an 'alchemical' transformation of something (pitch relationships, rhythms, metres, harmonies, timbres) into something else; and Jung has demonstrated that the metamorphoses of alchemy are, like those of music, not so much material as psychological." - Wilfrid Mellers
