This is my first Father's Day without my father. My niece had made a 'playlist' that she played to him. She was playing it to him, my daughter was also playing frog sounds - he loved to sit outside, while music played as he listened to nature. As he died, this is what he was listening to. It felt so appropriate.

My father’s favourite piece. Played at his funeral 😢
@660einzylinder 6 жыл бұрын
Some years ago I was working for an undertaker. We had to do the funeral of a local school teacher. As we carried the coffin out of the church, one of his pupils played this, unaccompanied. She was also about fifteen. It was the only time I was unprofessional enough to have tears run down my face. Ten years on and I was involved in helping local farmers to encourage skylarks to nest in arable fields. Somewhere in the back of my mind this would be playing as I sat with a powerful 'scope monitoring the birds.

Oh, yes. I heard a performance of this by the North Carolina Symphony. The associate concertmaster was doing the solo part. Some shit-for-brains thought it was a great idea to bring their 2-year old rugrat to the concert, and the little shit acted up most vocally in all the best parts, thus ruining what would have been a pretty good performance. The idiot parents never took the kid out into the hall, either. It pretty well pissed me off.

One of my least favourite Sci fi stories. Clarke's whole concept of this galactic mega intelligence, shutting down civilisations and destroying their planets and all life on them so it can harvest a telepathic generation to incorporate into it's own gestalt is just so wrong! Time to pull out mankind's galaxy buster bomb and wave it into mega mind's face! Clarke did like stories on humanity being forced into futures not of our own making by beings that knew better. He didn't even give Dave Bowman much choice in his destiny.

+Simon Watts Clarke's mega being is just a creative scientist's variation on Jehovah, who damns humans for not conforming to his arbitrary rules. Like Thomas Hardy, Clarke saw a cruel, unjust universe and decided that "God" must be a cruel, self-centered being.

660einzylinder -- Thank you so much for posting the beginning of that poem! I did not even know it existed. Here is the whole poem: The Lark Ascending George Meredith (1828-1909) HE rises and begins to round, He drops the silver chain of sound Of many links without a break, In chirrup, whistle, slur and shake, All intervolv’d and spreading wide, 5 Like water-dimples down a tide Where ripple ripple overcurls And eddy into eddy whirls; A press of hurried notes that run So fleet they scarce are more than one, 10 Yet changingly the trills repeat And linger ringing while they fleet, Sweet to the quick o’ the ear, and dear To her beyond the handmaid ear, Who sits beside our inner springs, 15 Too often dry for this he brings, Which seems the very jet of earth At sight of sun, her musci’s mirth, As up he wings the spiral stair, A song of light, and pierces air 20 With fountain ardor, fountain play, To reach the shining tops of day, And drink in everything discern’d An ecstasy to music turn’d, Impell’d by what his happy bill 25 Disperses; drinking, showering still, Unthinking save that he may give His voice the outlet, there to live Renew’d in endless notes of glee, So thirsty of his voice is he, 30 For all to hear and all to know That he is joy, awake, aglow, The tumult of the heart to hear Through pureness filter’d crystal-clear, And know the pleasure sprinkled bright 35 By simple singing of delight, Shrill, irreflective, unrestrain’d, Rapt, ringing, on the jet sustain’d Without a break, without a fall, Sweet-silvery, sheer lyrical, 40 Perennial, quavering up the chord Like myriad dews of sunny sward That trembling into fulness shine, And sparkle dropping argentine; Such wooing as the ear receives 45 From zephyr caught in choric leaves Of aspens when their chattering net Is flush’d to white with shivers wet; And such the water-spirit’s chime On mountain heights in morning’s prime, 50 Too freshly sweet to seem excess, Too animate to need a stress; But wider over many heads The starry voice ascending spreads, Awakening, as it waxes thin, 55 The best in us to him akin; And every face to watch him rais’d, Puts on the light of children prais’d, So rich our human pleasure ripes When sweetness on sincereness pipes, 60 Though nought be promis’d from the seas, But only a soft-ruffling breeze Sweep glittering on a still content, Serenity in ravishment. For singing till his heaven fills, 65 ’T is love of earth that he instils, And ever winging up and up, Our valley is his golden cup, And he the wine which overflows To lift us with him as he goes: 70 The woods and brooks, the sheep and kine He is, the hills, the human line, The meadows green, the fallows brown, The dreams of labor in the town; He sings the sap, the quicken’d veins; 75 The wedding song of sun and rains He is, the dance of children, thanks Of sowers, shout of primrose-banks, And eye of violets while they breathe; All these the circling song will wreathe, 80 And you shall hear the herb and tree, The better heart of men shall see, Shall feel celestially, as long As you crave nothing save the song. Was never voice of ours could say 85 Our inmost in the sweetest way, Like yonder voice aloft, and link All hearers in the song they drink: Our wisdom speaks from failing blood, Our passion is too full in flood, 90 We want the key of his wild note Of truthful in a tuneful throat, The song seraphically free Of taint of personality, So pure that it salutes the suns 95 The voice of one for millions, In whom the millions rejoice For giving their one spirit voice. Yet men have we, whom we revere, Now names, and men still housing here, 100 Whose lives, by many a battle-dint Defaced, and grinding wheels on flint, Yield substance, though they sing not, sweet For song our highest heaven to greet: Whom heavenly singing gives us new, 105 Enspheres them brilliant in our blue, From firmest base to farthest leap, Because their love of Earth is deep, And they are warriors in accord With life to serve and pass reward, 110 So touching purest and so heard In the brain’s reflex of yon bird; Wherefore their soul in me, or mine, Through self-forgetfulness divine, In them, that song aloft maintains, 115 To fill the sky and thrill the plains With showerings drawn from human stores, As he to silence nearer soars, Extends the world at wings and dome, More spacious making more our home, 120 Till lost on his aërial rings In light, and then the fancy sings.

The artist laid the work aside For want of muse yet to inspire The flight that would from pasture ride In turning gyre, To reach that height of heart's desire. With keys of wood he'd paced the ground In office top of spiral stair Until he heard responding sound Of string under bow, Released to flow and hover in the air. Requested, she came And saw the aim the artist had intended Setting foot on bottom stair Rising, rising Round and round until the work was ended. And thus the Lark Ascended: The turning path o'er grounded call. And thus the Lark was dedicated To Marie Hall.

The orchestra I play in is preparing this piece right now. It's one of the very, very few solo extravaganzas where the accompanying parts are as exquisite as the solo. This rendition is more stark (as close as RVW comes to stark), and in ways allows the soloist a clearer, more commanding presence. Delightfully hair-raising, and an absolute treat. I have to think the audience looks un-animated because they're afraid they'll miss something if they do anything rowdier than breathe. Pretty intimidating setting for the performers, too - up close and personal! Brava.

I was studying abroad and i remember i was heading home after a long day traveling the city. There's this long bridge about 20 minute walk and i was the only one walking there while hearing this song. I live alone and at that time i'm feeling lost, hurt and lonely. When i got home my grandma contacted me and asks for my condition and health, reminding me that she'll always be there caring and loving me. The thoughts of It ease me through. Because of the pandemic i was sent back to my homecountry and i am blessed to be able to spent almost a year with her until around october 2020 she suddenly passed away without any notice. Now, listening to this song reminds me of that moment on the bridge, of how i feel so alone and hurting but still knowing that she'll always be there caring. It makes me feel her presence for a moment.

Such a beautifully paced and played performance. Both musicians are in total synchronisation, and it shows. The violin sound, so fragile yet full of life and spirit, swoops and sings, like a real free spirit.

This piece of music has always reminded me of the English country side and has provided me with a great deal of inspiration in the past. I sometimes create a narrative for it similar to how I've done for Gustav Holst's The Planets & Richard Strauss' Thus Sprach Zarathustra. In this piece, it's easy to imagine the main melody being one of struggle and ascension. As in a baby Lark trying to fly for the first time and struggling to fly like the other chicks but eventually entering the fold. But yeah, that's my two cents. One of the greatest pieces of music of all time that seems to go neglected outside of the UK and to those ignorant of concert music.

One of the few recordings I've heard of anything where the space around the performers is as good as it can be. The building is 80% of that as is simple mixing if it is used at all. This non comersial string sound was almost caught by 78's. Somehow recording engineers ran away from if when they had better equipement. This team seem to have caught what they heard. Well done.
