When instruments are harmoniously joined together, beautiful music
ensues. Just as in a classic symphony, life often occurs in phases,
or movements. In his creative comparison Symphony #1 in a Minor
Key, literary exegete Alan Block shares his philosophies on four
movements reflected in his own life, each loosely modeled on a
different musical form linked to the emotions of a life both fully
lived and joyously celebrated. In the first movement, "Sonata
Allegro," Block juxtaposes biblical stories with personal
experiences as he explores the contradictory nature of what it
means to leave home in search of another home. In the second
movement, representing a slow march to and from the grave, he
focuses his examination on the funerals of three very different
people from a Jewish perspective. In strong contrast, Block
presents a glimpse into his absurd daily world in the third
movement, punctuated by jokes and commentary. Finally, he shares a
celebration of life and hope inspired by the final movement of
Beethoven's Seventh Symphony, encouraging others to be open to the
sublime and realize that none of our worlds is perfect. Symphony #1
in a Minor Key shares one man's reflections as he offers a
fascinating meditation on life, death, and everything in between.
