"Of course I have used dissonance in my time, but
there has been too much dissonance. Bach used
dissonance as good salt for his music. Others
applied pepper, seasoned the dishes more and
more highly, till all healthy appetites were sick
and until the music was nothing but pepper."
AUTHOR: Sergei Prokofiev
"Dissonance in music (different sounds that do not
blend pleasantly together) should be used like spices
are used in food; overuse will spoil the product."
COMPOSER:
("Come Creator Spirit") is a Catholic hymn believed
to have been written in the 9th century. It is often
sung at occasions such as the entrance of Cardinals
to the Sistine Chapel, when electing a new pope,
as well as at the consecration of bishops, the
ordination of priests, when celebrating the sacrament
of Confirmation, the dedication of churches, the
celebration of synods or councils, the coronation of
kings, the profession of members of religious
institutes and other similar solemn events.
