Reflection by Jean Ackerman
Art considers the quality of the work. This particular
composition is that which gives soul to those who will listen attentively with
mind and heart. Its sound passes from the composer through the pianist into the
very heart of the listeners. There, in the heart of the listeners, is housed
the soul of the art-piece. May this Fugue
in G minor set our hearts on edge, waking us up to our Dominican “contemplata” of the many faces of God
Reflections on the
Triune God
Listen to one consistent theme, one melody, one
God.
The thematic oneness keeps repeating throughout
the composition with various nuances throughout the composition.
Enfolded between these thematic repetitions are
images of the cosmic beauty of Creator God; images of the anguish of God our
Redeemer; images of Spirit energy and passion.
Peace and Joy,
Jean Ackerman, OP
