yes, then there's the rather vibrantly incredible stuff of Perotin, I'm
thinking mainly of the Viderunt omnes, written 1198, hundreds of years even
before Bach.    I don't believe the original poster has actually read ENOUGH
of McLuhan, to realize what indeed medium and message IS.  Certainly, some
listening needs to be done.
