Music: Dialogue with God. From archaic to electronics

Was the music always the language in which people turned to God, reflecting on life, death and immortality, or did it become it at a certain historical moment? Why, among the significant figures of the culture of the latest times, are so many composers - eccentrics and madmen? Perhaps our civilization itself, without waiting for the desired end of the world, has gone crazy, and for those who are afraid of its madness, a mass culture was created? For those who are not afraid, who like thoughtful reading and are ready to spend time, listening to “complex” music in search of wise simplicity of meaning, this book is written.
