All Through Music.

Goldfinch60



What shall I listen too I thought,

I know I will put on Carmina Burana,

The Carl Orff classic,

Not heard it for a long time.

The opening bars so powerful,

So loud and meaningful,

And there was I in tears

As it immediately threw me,

Threw such memories of my lover

When she was in the choir

Singing these notes to me.

Such wonderful memories

Brought back in a moment,

As the music took me to her,

And brought her to me.

The tears just would not stop

The love of her brought to me so strongly

From this piece of music,

As the notes she had sang

Took my emotions to her

And we were together again,

Back together as one,

All through this music.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Joyce sang this in the choir several times and in one section it opens with a large thump on the kettle drum and in Joyce's music she had written "DON'T JUMP!" The video is the opening of the piece and this is what caused my words to be written.

          of that transformative exchange
          your poem depicts, Andy
          between poetry's silent rhymes
          and music chords
          of bombastically triumphant symphony
          where a Poet inks his truth
          and we readers, willingly submit
          to that Poetic escape, journey
          of empathetic emotionality..
          (such a wonderfully measured
          melancholic flow
          in your dedication, dear poet)

          • Goldfinch60

            Thank you so very much for your kind words Mek.

              Such stirring music. Joyce must have gained so much pleasure from being a part of this glorious sounding piece. I'm sure you knew of that pleasure and the joy she gave to the listening audiences.

              Such marvellous memories this piece must evoke.

              There will come a time maybe when a chorus of angels will sing this piece for you both, hand in hand again.

              May your god bless the both of you.

              • Goldfinch60

                Thank you so much d a, that chorus of angels is waiting there for us both when we will be together again.

                • Goldfinch60

                  Thank you Jayasree, music means so much to both of us and we will be singing and playing together again one day.

                  Andy

                  • Jayasree

                    That's wonderful. You are a very positive person Andy. God bless.

                    Andy,

                    One of my favorite musical pieces.


                    O Fortuna…
                    egestatem,
                    potestatem
                    dissolvit ut glaciem.


                    Thank you for sharing this musical piece and your unforgettable loving memories of Joyce.

                    Laura🌻

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Beautifully done, Andy.
                      The "Don't Jump" share was magnificent.

                      • Goldfinch60

                        Thank you Jerry.

                        Yes it brought laughter to me when she showed it to me many years ago. DON'T JUMP!

                        A whiff of breeze
                        A sound of music
                        A sight of familiar
                        Any and many more can invoke those treasured memories, as you have so lovingly, though with a tinge of sadness at her loss, amplified here.

                        • Goldfinch60

                          Than k you suresh for your kind words, much appreciated.

                            A song of life indeed Jon.
