Â
Public statement: The Palestinian revolution has been an inspiration for oppressed peoples everywhere and everyone would like to see the formation of a truly free and independent Palestine. And this work can be a minor or major contribution.
Â
A condensed review:
A Music Manifesto is filled with pleas, protests, joyous celebration and socio-political conversations about the PA and Israeli political affair and (much to our credit) adds more important and wiser religious contributions to their discussions and hate speeches.
This book is in part written as a lecturer and student conversation.
Â
This book begins with annotations and discussions about lyrical music associated with Judaic traditions in the Bible Psalms and michtams.
                                                   Â
note: michtams are hymnal epigrams and aphorisms.
                      Â
Psalm 33 is a hymn of praise, v 1-5, 12
The Sovereignty of the Lord in Creation and History             Â
1 Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful. Praise the Lord with the harp; make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings. Sing to Him a new song; Play skillfully with a shout of joy. For the word of the Lord is right, and all his work is done in truth. He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. 12 Happy is the nation whose God is The Lord, the people he has chosen as his own inheritance. (This is a hymn of praise).
Â
And then there's a very perceptive and solidly researched chap (chapter three) in A Music Manifesto about the 1900's, 1920's-1948 and 1967, zionism, and socio-political issues.
Â
note: here the author advances the discourses, history, and discussions and brings us to a contemporary state of affairs and polity with serious notes to this spiritual-social-political situation and a concerted social commentary (here and now).
Â
Chap. 4 is an invaluable and authentic first-century A.D. Christian gnostic gospel (remember that gospel means 'good news') attributed to Jesus and titled: The Gospel of Thomas. A definite must-read (with insights).
Â
Saying 43:Â His disciples said to him, "Who are you to say these things to us?"
Â
"You don't understand who I am from what I say to you."
Â
Rather, you have become like the Judeans, for they love the tree but hate it's fruit, or they love the fruit but hate the tree."
Â
Â
Saying 46: Jesus said, "From Adam to John the Baptist, among those born of women, no one is so much greater then John the Baptist that his eyes should not be averted.
Â
But I have said that whoever among you becomes a child will recognize the kingdom and will become greater than John."
Â
Saying 113: His disciples said to him, "When will the kingdom come?"
Â
"It will not come by watching for it. It will not be said, 'Look, here!' or 'Look, there!' Rather, the Father's kingdom is spread out upon the earth, and people don't see it."
Â
Chapter 5, titled Hamas, Fatah and The Knesset and the author's favorite is about the PA and Israeli political affair and (much to our credit) adds more important and wiser religious contributions to theirdiscussions and hate speeches.
Â
note: Â in this chapter, declarative sentences and lengthy doctrinal discussions are carefully stage-managed so as to reduce the risk of adolescent rejection while maximizing the appeal of shared objectives.
Â
This manifesto ends the pleas and protests (and the argument being made) and so celebrates some of the best pro-revolutionary kind of reggae and dub and dub instrumentals by valuably pairing the music with the Psalms music jubilation. Hallelujah.
