Dune Spirit, Harmony, and Dissonance
Music and Art at Halcyon
Chapter Nine addresses the Temple’s experiments in music, including theatrical mystery plays written by Irish literary figure John Varian, and new music invented by Henry Cowell that heralded a new worldwide movement in ultra-modern music. Varian attracted other well-known Irish writers, including Ella Young, who inspired the creation of the Dunites, a colony of artists and thinkers founded by Gavin Arthur, and published a short-lived but important magazine Dune Forum.
