Thank you for this moment Gaby, lately I listened to the "Nutcracker". But I also listen Edward Grieg. It is the most famous of Norwegian composers, and he shows us in the work of "Peer Gynt", human morality. It is a poetic drama became theater of the Norwegian author Henrik Ibsen. It's a race to greed, to the glory of the ego, the pleasures of the senses and the flesh. This quest of desire leads us to knowledge of our ignorance. By understanding our ignorance, we find our home. This is in my opinion this work. This music and this story of Peer Gynt, really makes me think about work and spiritual evolution.
Here are 24 minutes of excerpts (Peer Gynt Suite 1 & 2 ..)

Musicians are absolutely our poets and without them we would be lost. "When a society is afraid of its poets, it is afraid of itself." Lenore Kandel. I love that quote and think it speaks volumes about the heroic nature of all artists.
I have been listening to Daniel Lanois's "Stillwater" a lot lately. It was recorded here in New Orleans. Beautiful, beautiful stuff.

That's funny, I was listening to this "Mongolian Throat Singing" song, which I find kind of catchy and moving, and I don't remember if I might have heard it in this thread originally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rmo3fKeveo
I was wondering if the song was referring to Genghis Khan, and someone in the youtube comments did post the lyrics, about Genghis Khan, it seemed like something of a deification. If they are old folk songs it makes sense enough, and perhaps to some of the singers Genghis put Mongolia 'on the map,' as it were, by preventing it from being invaded and overtaken by its neighbors, so they feel a sense of national pride due to him.
So the lyrics, at least, may be hard for other cultures to relate to, but still I find it understandable. Regardless the music is alright.

Hello diligence,
When I listening to the "Mongolian Throat Singing" it sound as calling 'Genghis' in few place.
And "Mongolian music- healing soul spirit song" repeating the word 'Te Jin' . This is only my guess.
The word 'Tejin' is a short version of Genghis Khan's original name of Temujin.
So, if my guess is right, listening to such kind of music is unknowingly leads to participate in worships Genghis Khan.
I have to be careful and need to research more...

That does sound possible, especially considering unconscious effects of listening to things repeatedly, particularly music which we respond to emotionally. If I remember right, the C's did mention something to the effect of knowing what the music does, or what it is about, might help to mitigate effects, if that helps.
I guess I am less worried about it because I often wonder about the sources of any irritability that might arise in me, and I am more or less constantly surrounded by either aggressive music or simplistic music. Sometimes I get away with listening to an older or softer song and other people's visible reaction to me is kind of like my private reaction to their music.
