the echoic connects within music This is wonderful.Certainly about JOY and it's hard to listen without tapping, dancing, or imagining oneself in dance.

It seems that niggun particularly access a spiritual place because they are so filled with echoic connectivity, as in the refrain, that is repetitive and often builds. This of course is a prominent feature of most music. We get these repeats, and we have names for these in symphonic music. They are expected with lingering melodic lines.

The word in Hebrew echad or echod, depending on proununciation, has, for me, that echo of echod, as within the word echod is echo itself, a reverberating connectivity. When we stand in a place that has this acoustic ability, we hear from all sides, North, South, East, and West, the echo of song, or whatever we put into that space, and I think this is so totally redolent of what is Divine, that answer, that comes from all places, all corners of whatever space we inhabit. As in G_d is everywhere, and in niggun so present Reply
