Night Piece

We recently had to put down our dog, Lambeau, a most loved member of our family for these past 12 years. This melody came to me during his last night with us, as he and I slept together on the basement floor, sharing our few last hours of time in this world....

This is a reinterpretation of a wonderful soundtrack found in the 1981 television series "Brideshead Revisited" based on the novel of the same name by Evelyn Waugh.  The magnificent soundtrack for the series was composed by the late Geoffrey Burgon.

Brideshead Revisited: A Re-interpretation

“Although now long estranged,
Man is not wholly lost nor wholly changed.
Dis-graced he may be, yet is not de-throned,
and keeps the rags of lordship once he owned:
Man, Sub-creator, the refracted Light
through whom is splintered from a single White
to many hues, and endlessly combined
in living shapes that move from mind to mind."

J.R.R. Tolkein, On Fairy Stories

Pacem Aeternam

Wednesday...in Isolation

Written on an uneventful day during lockdown here in the UK... this piece evokes the feelings of every day being the same with little differences... and the light at the end of the tunnel is a long way away!!!

Everything changes, nothing is set in stone. No matter what, you have to remain honest with yourself.

To Remain

So much bitter in the world, it's hard to find the sweet. If you look hard enough, it's there.

"The most powerful and magical language is music. The reason for this is that music is the original language. Music is not ornamented poetry, and poetry is not ornamented prose. Poetry is fallen music, and prose is fallen poetry. Prose is not the original language; it is poetry made practical. Even poetry is not the original language; it is music made speakable, it is the words of music separated from their music. In the beginning was music." (Peter Kreeft, Philosophy of Tolkien)
