Immortal Music.

Goldfinch60



There they came on stage,

Three musicians,

Piano, bass and drums.

The first note was played

And I was taken away,

Taken away into a new world,

A world where classical met jazz.

All my long life I had listened,

Listened to both typez of music,

Both classical and jazz

And had met this type before,

But this group took it,

Took it to a new level,

A level I had never been before.

From Bach to Elgar,

Massenet to Beethoven

And so many more.

I was in a dreamworld

Where my two favourite types of music

Met with such profound wonder.

Such a wonderful time

Just flew by

As I listened and was taken,

Taken away to that place,

That place where music reigns

Bringing peace and glory,

Peace and glory to life,

To life immortal.

      There's a folk group weekly in town. On weeks when it is 'Singers Night', members of the group sing, instead of special guests. No one turns up if I am there to sing! heehee.

      • Goldfinch60

        Just keep practising Orchi, you know the tune "Far Away" the further away the better. LOL

            You've got me. Now, whenever I hear a piece of music (esp. jazz or classical) that has my attention I find myself wondering how much Andy would appreciate this.

            • Goldfinch60

              Thank you for the comment Dave, i like all types of music, especially Classical and Jazz. I say to people there are only two types of music, that which you like and that which you don't.
              To give you an example of other types of music I have all the albums that Johnny Cash recorded.

                  I went to the website and listened, how incredible. I could hear why you were blown away, incredible melding of music. Thank you for a beautiful poem and the music that inspired it.
