MUSIC ~ FOR A WHILE ..........?

BRIAN & ANGELA

 

 

 

MUSIC FOR A WHILE ~ would sound

MOZART Sonata in the plaintive night

And inside my toutured mind resound 

Convincing White is Black & Black is White !

 

MUSIC FOR A TIME ~ will echo on

VANGELLIS sound track ~ Chariots of Fire

On moment here ~ and then ephemeral gone

The haunting sound of Flute & Lute & Lyre

 

MUSIC FOREVER ~ mind of mine will haunt

When CHOPIN's mute ~ and silent PURCELL's aire

Their classic sounds ~ that I once did flaunt  

But now my HARPSCHORD sits silent ~ bare

 

Thanks for listening ~ comments welcome ~ Music for ALL ~ BRIAN 

This Poem is dedicated to All Classical Composers ALBENIZ to

ZELENKA  who down the centuries have so enriched our lives !

And all the Classical Musicians who have faithful kept them alive

And still do ~ THANK YOU ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN ~ XOXOX

    Good write and tribute Brian, I have listened to all classical composers from Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Modern and have albums from all those periods and have enjoyed them all.
    And then we have jazz!

    • BRIAN & ANGELA

      Thanks ANDY ~ Of the making oif MUSIC there is no end and much practising is weariness of the flesh. My DAD is a Classical Pianist / Organist and several of my extended family are Classical Musicians ~ I am a Folk / Country Guitarist ! Pleased i plucked your strings ~ BRIAN

    • orchidee

        Music is surely a gift from above and you word it so well here Brian - all sorts of tunes can enchant my mind.

        • BRIAN & ANGELA

          Thanks FAY I agree. The ability to compose and play Music and appreciate is indee a DIVINE GIFT to te whole Human Race. Music is universal and we are fortunate to live in an age when it is available at the touch of a button. I have about 500 multigenre (Beethoven to the Beatles) CD's and I love CLASSIC FM ! My DAD is a Classical Pianist and several of my extended Family are Professional Classical Musicians. Music reminds us ~ in a melancholy way ~ of every stage of our life ! Yours as ever BRIAN

          Love the poem and the rhymes. I was never introduced to the classics. But I think music is very important to our lives. When I'm up and doing something music is usually on. Thanks for the informative write! Hugs-Christina

          • BRIAN & ANGELA

            Thanks CHRIS ~ YES Music makes the World go round and CD's are perfect and portable ! I have always lived in Towns and Cities with great Orchestras like "THE ROYAL LIVERPOOL PHILHARMONIC" AND CONCERTS AT A PRICE MY FAMILY COULD AFFORD. MOZART and his ilk set the standard ~ The Beatles & Elvis etc just modified it for popular human consumption ~ but it is all MUSIC ! Thanks for you encouraging comment Harmonic Hugs ~ BRIAN A Man of Melody ! @@@@@@@

          • Michael Edwards

            Classical music is my choice every time - you can do away with all the rest but keep the classical - well writ B

            • BRIAN & ANGELA

              Thanks MICHEAL ~ Because my DAD is a Classical Pianist and we had access to The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra we were very blessed ! All other music is but a PALE PARODY on the Classics ! Thanks for your encouragement BRIAN

            • Louis Gibbs

              A fine tribute to the food of life, good music, which transcends all other languages! Well done, Brian.

              • BRIAN & ANGELA

                Thanks LOUIS ~ Th whole WORLD can enjoy (and even comprehend) MOZART ! Classical crosses all barriers of Country ~ Creed ~ Colour ~ Class etc ~ a Universal language indeed ! Yours BRIAN

              • Pintu Mahakul

                Tortured mind resounds but life still hears the tender music of life and love of God to get recovery from obstacles and stress. Classic sounds of music vibrate mind and give new essence. Classical Musicians who have faithful perseverance have kept them alive. Amen! May God bless them all. Excellent poem is shared here.

                • BRIAN & ANGELA

                  Thanks PINTU awesome comment ! You have grasped the essence of what i was trying to say better than I did myself ! Yours BRIAN

                • FredPeyer

                  You know Brian, I love the music, but what I find so awesome is how these composers could 'hear' the whole orchestra in their minds. Especially Beethoven, after going deaf, is an incredible example of this God-given talent.
                  Thanks for posting this poem!

                  • BRIAN & ANGELA

                    Thanks FRED for a very incisive comment ! Classical Composers are among the most intelligent people on the Planet ! I am pleased they devote themselves to producing something beautiful instead of uglier and more lethal Motor Cars or Weapons or dabbling in Politics Some of my extended Family are classical Musicians. They oinly earn a crust ~ but they are always Happy & Contented ~ Yours BRIAN

                    • Azura Nightsong

                      I love and play music myself. Though I typically play more jazz and listen to rock, classical can be very cool as well. As long as it sends me somewhere I am happy.
                      Sincerely, Azzy

                      • BRIAN & ANGELA

                        Thanks AZURA ~ JAZZ is great Genre and different every time you hear it ! I once played GUITAR in a JAZZ GROUP and all i had for music wss a list of chords. So when it came to my SOLO it was Ok as long as I was "IN CHORD" it was OK but it was different every time i played it BUT there would be echoes of SWEET GEORGIA BROWN or whatever the tune was ! I also play Classical & Country Guitar ! Thanks for your comment ~ Musical Hugs ~ BRIAN
