GREAT WORKS DECONSTRUCTED BY A MASTER! C S Lewis famously wrote that what we regard as myth here is often truth elsewhere; and one way of keeping those truths alive and visible is to encode them in music. Max Heindel here explores the notion of the Great Work and the seeking after Truth through music, illustrating the mythic significance of figures and themes appearing in Faust, Parsifal, The Ring of the Niebelung, Tannhauser and Lohengrin. Heindel fits such symbols as Ygdrassil (the world ash), Muspel (beloved of David Lindsay), Lucifer, Venus and Nothung into a liberating Rosicrucian system of thought. For the Seeker and the Opera lover alike.
