| Summary: | Musical performance is for many people an immediate pathway to access interior silence. Singing is distinctive because the origin of the sound is the body of the musician, and this is the springboard to explore parallels between models of the self between Barry Green on music performance and Maggie Ross on contemplative prayer. This article draws attention to similarities in approach, emphasising the role of self-forgetfulness and the interplay between left and right brain that establishes a condition of kenosis and liminality. The article explores how this move to kenosis and liminality plays out in community. |
