Evocative of what?

. . . since we're already pretty far into this thread, we should perhaps make a new thread for the subject someday. Of course, I do agree with you that music can be incredibly evocative, but in my mind, the greatest evocation which music produces is of emotional states which do not have a direct correlation to any non-musical objects or states. IOW, music, at its best, produces emotions which are unique to music - you can't get them any other way - and I say this in spite of the instances where music is clearly trying to depict something in the natural world (most easily discerned when there's a text along with the music). You mentioned fire - I don't hear that so much in the Firebird, but I do hear the "fire" origin of the motives in Wagner's Magic Fire Music for instance. But even here, the thing evoked by Wagner's music is so much more than just a direct depiction of fire.
Anyway, you may or may not agree, but, as I say, this could be an interesting discussion for later on.
