a/semblance of order (on a motet possibly by Josquin des Prez)
”For I believe that ideas about separating, purifying, demarcating and punishing transgressions have as their main function to impose system on an inherently untidy experience. It is only by exaggerating the difference between within and without, about and below, male and female, with and against, that a semblance of order is created.”
Mary Douglas
Motetten som verket bygger på heter Absalon fili mi och skrevs troligen av Josquin des Prez.
