At the Crossroads of the Senses

Music Example 5. Salome intones, “Deine Stimme war ein Weihrauchgefäss, und wenn ich dich ansah, hörte ich geheimnissvolle Musik.” (Thy voice was an incense vessel, and when I looked on thee, I heard a strange music) followed by Jochanaan’s voice-music.

After Salome’s synaesthetic plea, Jochanaan’s fragrant strange voice-music resounds in the prophetic tonality of D major in the upper winds.
