Stop! Look! Listen! Jane C. Miller's Listening Recommendation
I am drawn to music with lyrics in languages I don’t understand, which allows me to hear, unmediated by meaning, the emotional synthesis and counterpoint of sound. Two of my favorites are Trio Mediaeval from Norway, and Mariza from Portugal. Isn’t our work as writers similar? We choose our words, not just for meaning, but for what their sounds make us feel.
