Saying More Than We Can Say

Related to our theme Art & the Gospel, CT Today has a nice short article: "Saying More Than We Can Say" by Carolyn Arends.

The story of Olivier Messiaen in the concentration camp arrested my attention. Imagine composing a masterpiece of (musical) art from inside "death's domain."

Is it surprising that it was inspired by Scripture - Revelation 10:1-2, 5-7?

If you want to listen to it while pondering the connections of music and the gospel, enjoy this from the Quartet Messiaen.
