Hello all,
Oh dear, don't lets get started on music, it's bad enough with the cinema. I have just spent the weekend making a lecture on, what turned out to be the first 7 minutes of 'Histoire(s) Du Cinema'. I asume that Godard was seeking some kind of answer to the question of the relation between beauty and aesthetics, hence a particular choice of sounds to accompany the images.
Just for the record, sometimes a piece of music can be beautiful because of one's sense of the striving of the artist, a particular solo by Parker, the amazing recording of John Handy's group at Montery (1967?) etc.What I do sense is that, in relation to my last mail, that the marriage of music and images is one made in heaven, especially in relation to Herrmann's music and the image of Novak in Hitchcock's film. There you go..the cinema can be beautifulbut not as a fetish but rather as our realisation of the work involved.
Peace
Alan
