About this listen

 Discover the American Hermetic tradition through the visionary works of Alan Hovhaness and Morris Graves—a composer and a painter who each sought transcendence beyond the visible world. Hovhaness’s mystical music, rooted in Eastern modes and cosmic harmony, resonates with Graves’s spiritual imagery of birds, light, and inner silence. Together, they reflect a uniquely American search for the sacred hidden within art.

This is the twelfth in a series of 13 presentations that explores Hermetic American history by focusing on a diverse group of hermetic figures spanning architecture, poetry, drama, religion, esoteric philosophy, and occultism. These presentations were delivered by Roger Weir in the spring of 1982 in Los Angeles, California.
