Thanks ANDY ~ SIBELIUS ~ Music of the Gods. Several of my extended Family are Classical Musicians and love to ARRANGE for Choirs & Orchestras and even to venture into COMPOSITION ! One of them explained it to me in this way: Depending when (and to some extent where) we are born we inherit 100\'s of Years of Classical Music ~ each piece has a form and function. If you have the privilege of studying and performing and listening to this heritage. This gives you an understanding of each instrument and how they combine in a quartet or an orchestra and the form & function of a Sonata or Oratorio etc. All this knowledge ~ experience ~ understanding etc enables some Classical Musicians to perform ~ some to conduct and some to compose. All new classical compositions are based on that Foundation of melody ~ harmony ~ harmonics and the range and timbre of each instrument. In one sense it is very Scientific and in another it is Genius and Art. Folk ~ Blues ~ Pop ~ Jazz etc is \"simpler\" more accessible but to succeed it must be based on the same principles of melody and harmony and metre etc ~ and the symbiosis of WORDS & MUSIC ! The same is also true of Classical Poetry ~ Yours BRIAN Please check my new FUSION ~ CHOCOLATE ~ Thanks B !

I\'m with this piece all the way and Sibelius is one of favourite composers. I remember listening to his music being played by a street musician when I stood alongside his statue in Helsinki - a magic moment.

Goldfinch you are making me stop and be much more aware of the music around us. My Dad loved and grew up with classical music and we had it around us all the time but I was young and \"modern\" and running around and not paying much attention.... have come to appreciate much more now. Also I was in Helsinki for one afternoon long time ago on a flight layover to Russia (long story) and Sibelius was very much a \"presence\" there even for that short stay ... in fact was taken to the cemetery and shown his grave! They are very proud of him there...... I loved Helsinki - lots of pretty little colored boats floating in the harbour.

Thanks MIKE ~ there is a Morale here \"The FOOD on the other person\'s plate always looks more palatable ! It also reminded me that The Coffee Shops were where all the Literati gathered and shared ideas. I once found a Coffee Shop (called the MUSE where there was paper & felt tips and one was invited to pen an ode on anyone or anything and pin it on a large PINBOARD ~ most people who came in wrote something mainly in pseudo~haiku format. Some of them ripe and some tripe ! Pleased your ODD ODE met with approval ! Please check my POEM and latest FUSION on Chocolate ~ Yours Poetically ~ BRIAN Love the visual ~ SAUS \'N EGG SANI ~ Repast of the Deities ! B.

Lorna said:
Oh funny - another \"food peeper\" - I have to stop myself from looking at other plates..... and yes, I would love a spontaneous poem. You are brave. I wrote the poem about the Railroad Philosopher and wanted to give it to him but I wasn\'t brave enough........ next time that happens, I will! (And will blame you for whatever they throw).......

I know the feeling - why is it when the food arrives I always wish I had ordered what someone else has ? Great work and I can imagine their surprise. A great gesture.

love the Bohemian Rhapsody tune, one of my favorite bands growing up listening to their music. I\'ve stood on many a stage myself to perform and, yeah, it brings the nerves into play most of the time. the reward though, as you say, euphoric in the 1st degree. well done, GoldFinch60.

A euphoric write Gold! Wish it was always so - some places sound like they are singing dirges, and \'underwhelming\'! But your experience is of a proper Choir.
