Thank you so much Torbjørn and Ad for this great JOY.
Poem:
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson  was an American poet. Little-known during her life, she has since been regarded as one of the most important figures in American poetry.

In this poem, Dickinson discusses her love for a man. She is jealous of everything around him, the water "He rides", the Chariots, the hills that watch him going by, the sparrows, the fly, even the leaves.
"I envy Seas, whereon He rides --" can be seen as a love poem for a man, but it can also be seen as a religious poem. The mention of Heaven and Gabriel can easily make this connection. The love of God and the love of everything he created.

I envy seas whereon he rides

I envy seas whereon he rides,
I envy spokes of wheels
Of chariots that him convey,
I envy speechless hills

That gaze upon his journey;
How easy all can see
What is forbidden utterly
As heaven, unto me!

I envy nests of sparrows
That dot his distant eaves,
The wealthy fly upon his pane,
The happy, happy leaves

That just abroad his window
Have summer’s leave to be,
The earrings of Pizarro
Could not obtain for me.

I envy light that wakes him,
And bells that boldly ring
To tell him it is noon abroad,—
Myself his noon could bring,

Yet interdict my blossom
And abrogate my bee,
Lest noon in everlasting night
Drop Gabriel and me

I envy seas whereon he rides. Torbjørn Vagle, Ad Van Nederpelt, Oddrun Eikli.

The Price Of Feeling

Folding paper into different forms (origami) is a popular kids' play in Japan. I remembered from my childhood how colorful paper cranes hang in the air, and wrote this piece as I pictured how light shines through them.

UNE PHRASE...

I have again the immense pleasure of presenting you a piece by Jean-Pierre Dubois (JiPé) which was composed by him back in 1985 when he was 38 years old....he had the kindness of sharing this composition with me which is more in a style of the Romantic era....
I hope you will enjoy listening to my performance of it.....

Résurgences by Jean - Pierre Dubois

BORN is the title track from the Swedish pianist Carl Liungman's solo piano debut album BORN (2020). 
This is minimalistic piano music, burgeoning, searching and hopeful, that opens up both the living room and inner room of the listeners heart. Neither major nor minor chords are dominating, transforming the music into a quaint soundscape with the naivety, self-assurance and wonder of a child.
BORN is piano music devoted to its simplicity and intimacy, as understated as it is energetic, like the melancholy of reflection, in the light of life.

Carl Liungman’s album Born was released worldwide on all major digital music platforms on May 22 2020.

Born

Well, about this composition… I wanted to compose something like my «Crossroads», with lot of sad piano, emotional strings and spirit of touching sorrow. At some point, percussion was added to the composition to make it even more powerful. Like «Crossroads», it all was composed spontaneously, in one day. That's how "Farewell" appeared.
