WHEN THE INNER
MOVEMENTS OF OUR BODY AND SOUL
ARE IN HARMONY WITH THE HEAVENLY MUSIC CREATED BY THE STARS?
Human music should therefore echo the divine melody of the cosmos, rather than
reflect the ideas and caprices of flesh-and-blood composers! The most beautiful hymns,
songs and tunes were usually attributed not to the genius of some human artist but to divine inspiration?!
Such antique views are now usually no longer in vogue anymore: today humanists believe that the only source
for artistic creation & aesthetic value is human feelings. Music is created and judged by our own inner voice, which
need follow neither the rhythms of the stars nor the commands of muses and Angels. For the stars are mute, while muses
and Angels exist only in our own imagination? Modern artists seek to get in touch with themselves & our feelings, rather than
with "G d"! No wonder then that when we come to evaluate art, we no longer believe in any objective yardsticks?! Instead,
we again turn to our subjective feelings!? In ethics, the humanists motto is 'if it feels good - do it'! In politics, humanism
instructs us that 'the voter knows best'? In aesthetics, humanism says that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'...
The very definition of art is consequently up for grabs. Already in 1917 Marcel Duchamp purchased an ordinary
mass-produced urinal, declared it a work of art, named it Fountain, signed it, and placed it in a museum.
Medieval people would not have bothered even to argue about it! Why waste oxygen on such utter nonsense?
Yet in the modern humanist world Duchamp's work is considered an important
artistic milestone. In countless classrooms across the world
first-year art students are shown an image
of Duchamp's Fountain, & at a
sign from the teacher all hell
breaks loose: 'It's art!' 'No
it isn't!' 'Yes it
ìs!' 'No way!'
