Name: Ars Longa by Classical Glass
Duration: 3 min 51 s
Description: "Ars longa, vita brevis" translated from the Latin is understood to mean "Art is long, life is short".

The quote brings to mind the great cathedrals of Europe that take generations to complete.  Your lovely composition is one of quiet resignation; that our art may not be fully comprehended in our lifetime.

I like listening....knowing that each note and nuance is very carefully and beautifully placed by you.

This is quite poignant in its beauty. Well done.

Thank you Christopher for composing 'Farewell' and for entrusting its performance to me - Joe

Remembering my Father this Memorial Day - who passed away in 2019 at the age of 101 - he was a World War 2 veteran - a member of a bombing crew that flew 25 missions over Germany targeting munitions factories - I am lucky to be here - through 'Farewell' I remember.

Farewell, by Christopher Larkins - performed by Joseph Haspel

An August improvisation... a Quest of sorts. 
Why?
Well... sometimes one just can't help but reach out for something Beyond the MatriX.   :-D

So thrilled to have been able to work with the wonderful Suzanne Ledwith @suzanne-ledwith on this song.  What a beautiful and captivating voice!!
I also have to thank Peter @user-264930040 for collaborating with me on the lyrics. He has a masterful way with words, and imbued the lyrics with poetry and life!

The Glimmering Shore

They married in haste on a bright winter’s day 
Knowing the next tide would sail him away 
But he pledged his return come the warmth of the May
 And to wait for him there on the glimmering shore

High masted whaler, fading from view 
Beyond her horizon of shimmering blue 
Steeling her heart, through tearful adieu 
Set to wait for her love by that glimmering shore

May’s softness as swallows came dancing on air 
July blessed her life with his daughter so fair 
Then autumn winds rising, whispering despair 
While she waits for her love on that glimmering shore

Darklings of winter, snow blankets the sand.
 Earth forged to ice, life stripped from the land. 
Daily returning, the horizon to scan 
To wait for her love on that glimmering shore

Weeks swelled to months that folded to years
 Hope’s light expiring, extinguished by fears 
And the salty sea roared and it crashed like her tears
As she waits for her love on that glimmering shore

Like a ship gripped by tempest ne’er to break free
 Her heart imprisoned on a turbulent sea. 
No lighthouse of guidance to lead her to lee. 
She'd wait for her love on that glimmering shore

The Glimmering Shore (feat. Suzanne Ledwith)

I really thought that one day my synthesizers had been hit by covid19.
The processing of the tracks was completely destroyed during the mixing! Very surprising, but interesting :-)

1st Version in 2020

Perspectives is the work on several titles
following a certain number of days, months,
years. Research work on possible music,
entirely realized with three keyboards on
Moog and other modulars plus some percussions
also realized with modulars. Multi-track
recording and mixing with sound processing.
Some tracks are old and others very recent.
I wish you joyful listening and discovery of
a music sometimes far from a rigorous classicism,
slightly different, even experimental.

"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)
