John Zorn - The Hermetic Organ Vol. 7 - St. John The Divine 2019 [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

“The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself.” —William Blake The Cathedral of St. John the Divine is a place of prayer, peace, spiritual renewal, and a temple to all who love the organ—and Zorn responds in kind with a remark- ably soothing and peaceful exploration of lyricism and sonic variation. Interrupted only occasionally by a few trademark Phantom of the Opera explosions, the music is meditative, devotional, and at times achingly beautiful. Inspired by the mystical worlds of William Blake and the French organ traditions of Charles Tournemire and Olivier Messiaen, the music is an extended exploration in search of spiritual healing
