I\'m fully in empathy with this (except the numbers) - it\'s a great piece Andy and says so much.
Oh yes - and I love Beethoven - one of my top three of the greats from the past.

Thanks ANDY ~ love DELIUS ~ Melancholy & Melodious but never Mournful ~ beautiful ! I even put Classic FM on standby while I listened to it @ 9pm ! I can empathise with your poem vicariously because I have Friends whose partners have Alzheimers and some times I go and sit with the Man so his spouse can have a break. We have a conversation of sorts but it is heartbreaking because some of them were intellectuals ~ now it is all on hold ~ till they get to GLORY ~ AMEN You know You and your Beloved are on my Prayer List and it is a Blessing when others (Like LAWLESS) say they are remembering you both ~ at \"The Throne of Grace\" AMEN. I thank GOD for the many committed Christians on MPS it is a lovely site ! Thanks for sharing ~ Yours BRIAN

Andy,
Two gems...your poem and the musical clip! Absolutely brilliant. I envisioned you and your wife as the couple in the video. This is the best read and visual of the day! Iām thrilled for you! Hopefully thereāll be more magic moments like the one youāve enjoyed! Do you film the moments when āHer bubble of dementiaā becomes āhole ridden for the day.ā?

A fine write Gold. Hope there will be more days, and healing, even in things where it\'s said \'There\'s no cure for that\'.
Meanwhile - it was a wonderful day. Then I came along and sang, and ruined it. Oh why did I have to turn up?! heehee.

THANKS ANDY For sharing you domestic woes ! POETRY SITES are a bit like Model Railways ~ very addictive and very time consuming ! Like you nI have a number of Members who comment on my odd odes. I count it a pleasure to respond to their comments and also to comment on theirs ~ it is a \"Love Task !\" Also if new members don\'t have a comment I like to encourage ! It all takes time ~ but sadly I don\'t have anyone (yet !) to make a brew for. However I do neglect my MARKING & Lesson Prep etc ~ MEA CULPA ! Yours BRIAN

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.
