ADVICE: MUSIC — ESPECIALLY ORCHESTRAL MUSIC — SHOULD BE LISTENED TO THROUGH SPEAKERS WITH A GOOD BALANCE OF BASS AND TREBLE. IF YOU LISTEN TO THESE PIECES ON A CELLPHONE, YOU’LL LOSE AT LEAST 40% OF THEIR QUALITY.

Context:

At the edge of the endless dunes of the Desert of Tennura, where the wind sings ancient memories and the light bends over the sands, stands Tenaza’s Oasis, a rare and almost sacred refuge marked by both relief and the scars of the past. There, Vertere, Luci, and Akrios found shelter as they fled the unrelenting shadow of the Inquisition. Among palm trees that whisper forgotten tales and clear waters that seem to guard their own secrets, the three warriors could finally breathe, heal their bodies, and soothe their spirits.
But Tenaza’s was not only a place of rest, the fracture in the Trisfasma’s fabric had left its mark, the magic behaved in strange ways, as if the oasis carried its own memory, sorrowful and incomplete. Even so, Vertere and Luci grew deeply attached to the place, perhaps for its rare stillness, perhaps for the fleeting peace they found there in a world ablaze.
Now, however, the time to depart has come. The South calls to them, and their destinies await beyond the unpredictable sands. Each step away from Tenaza’s calm waters weighs heavily on their hearts, which waver between gratitude and longing, between the comfort of the past and the uncertainty of what lies ahead. “Tenaza’s Oasis Goodbye” captures this suspended moment, the bitter farewell to the only safe breath before they dive once more into the vast unknown.

My recording of the first part of Satie's Gymnopedies, a captivating piece of beautiful melancholia and serenity.



"Gaze, 
awed but composed, 
a thousand stars shine
in the clear night sky of a red, glowing moon,
illuminating lush, green gardens,
brimming with the fruits of nature, 
and pregnant from the rains 
of bountiful clouds
Follow the wind to where the ocean 
that leads to the end of the earth, begins
Stand, barefoot, facing the rising sun
as the waves caress the sandy shores of evermore
Hold, in your arms, something
greater than the planets, grander than 
the galaxies of the universe
Oh, creation!
Let the world breathe life unto my soul!
Watch, mesmerized,
the sun collapse into earth
and set alight into a magnificent ball of fire
See the ball of fire burst 
into a cosmos with a million bright colors,
rainbows upon rainbows, 
revolving in a great kaleidoscope of awe
Will, that you be the clouds, the waves, the storm, 
the dawn that breaks the thick of darkness,
the changing seasons and the earth that nourishes,
Life,
everlasting,
And everchanging."
