The Dark Side and the Heroic Side of Organ Music

Is it possible to check harmony with algebra and find out what the mystical aspect of organ music consists in? The Italian organist Luca Massaglia has made an investigation and found interesting answer options. First, many organ compositions convey an additional meaning, which is normally imperceptible, but it may be found by those who seek. Such are special musical formulas transmitting important words, mysterious and obscure, like the far side of the Moon. And secondly, organ music contains a heroic refusal of the hustle and bustle of our daily life for the sake of flying into eternity. So let us approach the heroic and the dark sense including the knowledge of the light. The program presents mystical music of Europe of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.
