 The joy versus the hours
To great extremes flows my admiration for this magnificient piece of work by the music mogul Philip Glass.Fours years it has been,four years, and I cannot ,I find,grow awry of this music,which is astonishingly solemn yet enigmatic for somewhere it has been overlooked ,its beauty,its impressionistic prowess has been rendered only to the comparitively aloof ambience of the movie it was used in,"The Hours",though a marvel reputed for its paucity of sweeping kiss,has largely suffered at the hands of the new fangled movie melpomenes,termed,further so,as one of the most abasing,depressing masterpieces of all history.The music,I dare to say,has no contribution to this conjecture.I hear it at every occasion and never has it been disturbing to my restless moodswing.It is the music for all times,prime with the love of art and epitomised creativity,only makes,propels one to see every moment in depth,throw a genteel levity at a serious matter,enjoy the rhythm of magic of being swept off into a new world,an eternal world,to me the world of Virginia Woolfs last,the world of Philips excellence,the world and the hours. I feel,on Philip's not being rewarded with an oscar,like since nothing in this world that is worth knowing can be taught(Oscar Wilde),nothing should in this hedonism exist ,which is worth a reward ,that can be rewarded.Philip is an exception here.
