The Weight
One of the best things about sonically dense music is that it doesn’t give you any room to breathe. Empty spaces are too easy to fill. Give me walls of sound I can rest my head on.

Have your listened to the music of Thomas Tallis (1505-1585) and most especially his 40 part motet (‘Spem in Alium’)? It is breath itself. I have no wish to stop breathing during Mozart, Bach or Richard Strauss. What is the music that takes your breath away? Is there music which helps you to breathe? What is the music which builds a space for rest?
