Glimpse 694

Glimpse 694 (Aug 24 2023)

A simple piano piece thinking back on easier times,

Easier Days

I am excited about collaborating with soprano Maribel Villarroel and arranger and pianist René Calderón. The lyrics are from Pablo Neruda's Sonnet IV from the book "100 Love Sonnets" (Cien Sonetos de Amor), translated by Stephen Tapscott. The Fundación Pablo Neruda has granted permission.


Canciones para Pablo Neruda" is a book of musical scores for songs based on lyrics by Pablo Neruda and artwork from some of Chile's greatest artists:

This song was also performed live at "La Chascona", the former home and now museum of Pablo Neruda in Bella Vista, Santiago: youtu.be/vzz8tY0CYLk?si=ZfYIat6iL69p2FW4

Soneto IV  (Letras de Pablo Neruda)

Recordarás aquella quebrada caprichosa.                                                                                                  a donde los aromas palpitantes treparon,                                                                                                  de cuando en cuando un pájaro vestido                                                                                                   con agua y lentitud: traje de invierno.

Recordarás los dones de la tierra:                                                                                                     irascible fragancia, barro de oro.

Recordarás el ramo que trajiste,                                                                                                            ramo de sombra y agua con silencio,                                                                                                   ramo como una piedra con espuma.

Y aquella vez fue como nunca y siempre:                                                                                          vamos allí donde no espera nada                                                                                                                y hallamos todo lo que está esperando

Recordarás aquella quebrada caprichosa.                                                                                                   a donde los aromas palpitantes treparon,                                                                                                  de cuando en cuando un pájaro vestido                                                                                                   con agua y lentitud: traje de invierno.

Soneto IV (Lyrics by Pablo Neruda)

You will remember that leaping stream
 where sweet aromas rose and trembled,                                                                                                  and sometimes a bird, wearing water                                                                 and slowness, its winter feathers.

You will remember those gifts from the earth:                                                                               indelible scents, gold clay,

You’ll remember the bouquet you picked,                                                                                      shadows and silent water, a bouquet like a foam-covered stone.

That time was like never, and like always.                                                                                               So we go there, where nothing is waiting:                                                                                               we find everything waiting there.

You will remember that leaping stream where sweet aromas rose and trembled,                                                                                                  and sometimes a bird, wearing water and slowness, its winter feathers.

Soneto IV

"Sirius" means a lot to me. It's my music for starry nights, where I tilt my head back, savor the view, and enjoy the peace. I hope this song evokes something for you too!

So Long Ago

سيتا هاكوبيان - ستذبل الأصابع |  John Keating - Sound Of silence

John Rose is a composer working out of Lexington, Kentucky. John has worked for many years doing live radio, outdoor festivals, art openings and planetarium performances. John has been a pioneer of electronic music in Kentucky since the 1970s. He continues to work on solo recordings, and is a sound tech and stage hand. He recently started recording and producing music for other people. John also loves to teach wilderness survival and awareness and has been doing so at camps and workshops around Kentucky and Tennessee.

John Rose’s music is created primarily from his own experiences, what he calls “life’s soundtracks”. He utilizes elements from his diverse musical background, which includes early music (especially the Medieval and pre-Renaissance era), Baroque (owing to his direct musical lineage to J.S. Bach through oral teaching tradition), Middle Eastern Music, Gregorian chant, traditional Celtic and Appalachian music, and experimental electronic music.

Music and musicians who are of interest to John Rose are J.S. Bach, Arvo Part, Tangerine Dream, Dead Can Dance, Gregorian chant, Cantigas de Santa Maria, Alan Stivell, Morton Subotonic, John Jacob Niles, Debussy, and Chopin. He considers Nature and Silence to be the foundation of all music.

John’s music is timeless and pensive, interwoven with images of nature, expressive rhythms, deep space pulses, and industrial ambience. Other compositions contain intricate piano passages dancing across waves of geometric ostinatos.

“Music is structured in silence and has its foundations in the rhythm of nature, out of which springs the language of humanity and reflections of the energy of life. I wish to express this to the listener through my music.”
