In the logo of the Lyre Association,
the phrase "Movement for Musical Renewal" appears above the
name of the association. As this configuration implies, the association
is part of a larger movement, which is central to its mission and work.
Yet, this Movement for Musical Renewal is not easy to define or describe.
Inspired by the ideas of Anthroposophy,
it is characterized by the application of the phenomenological approach
of Wolfgang von Goethe to music, in which we we attempt to engage in
active listening and to experience the essence of the most basic elements
of music, such as the single tone and the musical interval. Moreover,
we acknowledge and explore the relationship of music to the different
aspects of the human being--physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
