Shades of Silence in the Works of 20th and 21st Century Choral Composers as an Expression of Their Spirituality
Silence is not only something that can be experienced, silence can be created, treating it as an element of an artistic work. Conscious use of silence, widely present in the work of choral composers of the 20th and 21st centuries, testifies to the deep spirituality of the creators. In times of the dictatorship of noise, it is particularly important to educate people towards silence, in both the external (acoustic) and internal aspect, related to such concepts as reflection, contemplation, contemplation, delight, peace. This becomes exceptionally important in artistic education.
