Enjoying this analogy of fugue as music of breaking closed structures and creating realities not imaginable before – in the intro to Said on Opera
Arts scholar Peter Sellars in the foreword to the book Said on Opera: "The word 'fugue' comes from the Latin 'to fly': it is the music of exile, of people fleeing oppression and closed structures. It means, take an idea and run with it. In the course of the elaboration of that idea, add new voices. The resulting counterpoint and contradiction create a dense and astonishing reality that was not present or imaginable before" Cover of the book Said on Opera by Edward Said

We are all a bit shell-shocked

But we will organise and strategise as a School tomorrow
