Spoken

“What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?” This simple, pressing question might be the key to understanding the meaninglessness of the pain, suffering, violence and grief man inflicts upon himself and his fellow men, or the menacing noise of time resonating in history since time immemorial. At the same time, this question also claims the inalienable value of the self, its irreducibility, the power of self-consciousness, which reveals itself in the arts as a quiet counterpoint to beauty. Sacred and especially liturgical music cherish a pure space where the soul can restore itself and retrace its own origins, where man’s heart meets the heart of God: no human power, no matter how subtle or totalitarian, will ever eradicate it.

English

“Che giova all’uomo guadagnare il mondo intero se poi perde se stesso?”. In questa semplice e sferzante domanda è forse la chiave di volta della comprensione della vacuità di tanto dolore, sofferenza, violenza ed affanno che l’uomo infligge a se stesso e ai suoi simili, di quel rumore del tempo che da sempre risuona sinistro nella storia; nello stesso tempo essa rivendica l’inalienabile valore dell’io, la sua irriducibilità, la potenza dell’autocoscienza, che nell’arte si svela come sommesso controcanto di bellezza. La musica sacra, e quella liturgica in particolare, custodiscono il luogo più puro in cui l’io può ritrovarsi nell’incontro vivo con la propria origine, dove il cuore dell’uomo si immerge nel cuore di Dio; nessun potere umano, per quanto subdolo o totalitario, potrà sradicarlo.
