The spirituality of Mozart's Mass in C minor, Bach's Mass in B minor, and Messiaen's "Quartet for the end of time"

This book elaborates on reports from people who have listened to certain pieces of sacred music by considering three works in detail, drawing parallels between the reports and writings of Martin Buber on the I-Thou relation in contrast to the I-It experience and describing the salient aspects of the music in order to specify just what is this hearing that is a relating, an encounter.
