Polarity

The blog will pick a word of the week, to share & explore the selected word. Here’s an expression for the word – polarity.

Classical music has been incredibly inspired by polarity. The creation, interplay of opposites or dynamic extremes – structure & spontaneity, tension & resolution, calm & storm, joy & melancholy, silence & sound, human emotion & divine order, stillness & motion. Harmony in polarity is at the very heart of classical masterpieces. Many great composers have explored this beautiful, fluid theme explicitly or implicitly, both philosophically & musically. “Music is the silence between the notes, the bridge between opposites” – Claude Debussy.
