Beautiful Philip. Amazing mix of piano and strings! 👍😃

Ooh, I love this transition into the second movement. The brief shift to major at 2:13ish is so uplifting. Exquisite production.

Wonderful in every way Philip. Excellent composition and arragenment. So fragile in parts yet with a subtle strength.

Love the space and reflective feel, just right for the start of my day Philip!

So delicate and emotive, strong and moving. A wonderful piece, Philip.

Inspired by the final lines from the poem Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood by the English Romantic poet William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

"The Clouds that gather round the setting sun
Do take a sober colouring from an eye
That hath kept watch o'er man's mortality;
Another race hath been, and other palms are won.
Thanks to the human heart by which we live,
Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears,
To me the meanest flower that blows can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears."

"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)
