Welcome to Starkmusicsound eTail Music Store where you will one day be able find the library of classical music by Composer Marilynn Stark and her Vedic devotional music.  At this time, one devotional piece is offered.




Whether your taste in music tends to classical or to the rarefied and perhaps esoteric devotional music drawn from the Vedic scriptures, stotras (hymns) and mantras, this site will offer you an opportunity to build your own repertoire of great music for your listening enjoyment.  Certain instrumental pieces of my composition from the Indian music tradition and adaptations thereof are also categorized for you. 


 

Why are you here?

 You may be searching for refuge from the everyday music you hear through no choice of your own while shopping, while sitting in your living room cast with the spell of heavy metal, while waiting "on hold" on the telephone during a business call, while at work or riding on an elevator, for instance; or, you may have elevated and sophisticated musical tastes which need some new kind of nurture certainly outside of the onslaught of musical traditions which populate the place where you happen to be.  You might even be a Devotee who uses the power of music and singing to find inner peace and the enlightenment of divine presence through music.  Whoever you are, whatever your reason for being here, may you find your niche, may you satisfy some facet of your musical appreciation, and may that grow into the knowledge that the Composer who cares for your music sensitivities is at your service on these Web pages.  Wander around and find yourself here.  May you enjoy your visit.

Marilynn Stark    The Composer Who Cares

 

In the entire creation there is substance -- mass and energy.  Moreover, energy relates to that mass as if the two, mass and energy, are indeed interchangeable.  How many are there in the world who contemplate this rarefied truth and actually incorporate it into any practical picture whatsoever?  Perhaps there are only ever an extremely rare few who would meet those metaphysical tenets of truth in some active mindset. 

 

However, there is sound.  Sound is equated to the birth of the physical creation.  The physical creation, being by its nature of the more gross level, is available to our perceptive awareness through sight by the visitation of light, for instance; seeing is one mode of perception.  Surprisingly, though, it is sound which correlates to the physical world about us as some kind of primordial, derived attribute of a first fundamental. This is why the Vedic texts do extol sound in the ancient language of Sanskrit as the essence of truth personified and available for the purpose of finding knowledge of what is. 

 

Music is a certain language of sound itself, a non-verbal one.  Its essence reflects the nature then again of all of what is.  Instrumental rendition as according to the native praises as well as plaints of musical language embraces and expresses the human soul, having the potential power and moment to lay bare the inner truth itself of the spirit, the inner truth of the very self.  

 

Perhaps this terse analysis will help you to understand why music is so universal in its reach, its inviting expanse.  If these words do not enhance your receptive mind to all music, no matter your tastes, then please take the time here to acquaint yourself with my own music which I view in all humble attitude as a gift for you.  My compositions are from the divine through me and are meant for you.

Marilynn Stark
