Ramanujan of music

sorenbarrett



Hearing more than the ear can hear

note's puzzle pieces, fall and climb

pitches, chords, rhythms, harmonies so clear

Scales align, painting in musical pictures sublime

 

Playing audience symphonies, as an instrument

brushing blues into jaz, pop colors into originality

a portrait of human emotion in semitone increment

virtuoso, choral master, composer of song's humanity

 

Melodies you know in perfect harmony and rhythm flow

dissonant torn notes, perfume, musical flowers anticipant

strokes of rainbow prism scales flow and grow

voices of listeners turn active participant

 

First memory, was mother's violin over head

sixteen instruments played, one reinvented

Pitch perfect, rifts of rainbows, blues into red

sprouting seeds of genius fermented

      The magic and mystery of music wrapped up in this beautiful poem. It has unimaginable powers, it opens wide the portals of emotion and caresses the senses. What a wonderful start to my Sunday. Thank you dear friend! P.S. I had never heard of the Ranamujen summation, so I googled and was fascinated by it. I also found a line saying that it originates from a human desire for beauty, I like that a lot.

          Oh yes I adore the violin and I always say jazz is a mess to those who cannot hear it yet an orchestra on the ear to others, music really is so many things. 🌹 Gorgeous and to see your own mother in o e of your poems is truly a prevaliage 🌹

            Thank you Teddy I am no musician although I have taken piano and violin and so I am most impressed with the talent of others. Jacob Collier I discovered just a few months ago and he is brilliant.
