About
A reading of important paper by musicologist Martha Baird, part of the Dramatic Presentation of Aesthetic Realism, based on this exciting principle stated by philosopher Eli Siegel: "All beauty is a making one of opposites, and the making one of opposites is what we are going after in ourselves." Ms. Baird says in this definitive talk: "Ethel Merman can, like Marilyn Horne, go from the last point in assertiveness to a gentleness, a tenderness that is melting--and you feel the two things come from one source: there is no break."
