I do not know if I disagree with it or I rather consider it as an irrelevant comment. Yes, God does not need more expressive methods then just one why I feel it is irrelevant?
Well, in 12th century God was the same as now but we were much different, at least in our relation to God. I need to note that I personally do not subscribe believe in God. I do commemorate God but my version of God is closer to Thomas Mann’s version of God, or God as a combination of invented, adopted and the existing of external awareness which agrees complies with human needs to have God. So, in accordance with my version of God I feel that we today have much more complex and much multi-polar self-realization of our relation with God then what we had in 12th century. I feel in 12th century God, particularly for the persons who observe it attentively, was a force of final destination and in a way it served degenerative function. God was simplistic, his exposure or perception was overly dominating, and people did not has ability to compete neither with God’s actions, nor with God’s jealousy, nor with own desire to subordinate themselves to God. Nowadays, our version of God is much more complex and it is tested by much generation of thinkers. Our mind’s understating of God include today that newest Intel 87325645325 core chip and I personally feel that I am in 12 century would be very different then I am in 21 century.
So, the musical expressionism of 12th century does not even scratch a surface of a black box where my God lived. Yes, in context how people at that time understand, God music, work, harmonies and them what they did was wonderful but it is near where I have interests or find stimulatinf for my own listening experiences.
