So most of this is way over my head, but just had to agree that Messaien is awesome. My orchestra is playing "L'Ascension" this weekend; it's an absolutely phenomenal piece.
I went into philosophy because you can always plug in anything on the end of "philosophy of..." - music, art, politics, race, gender, religion, consciousness, knowledge, existence...
What exactly do you mean by "traditional classical music?" Do you mean just the classical /era/? That wouldn't seem much worth noting. Then, do you mean anything involving traditional orchestral instruments before the maturation of modernism? I might raise an eyebrow or two at that.

Also, long time no see. Hope all is well.
