O Magnum Mysterium - Morten Lauridsen

Here you can listen to Derek Walcott's poem recited by Kabat-Zinn, saying a prose statement was "bound to be inadequate" in communicating his point.

"Love After Love" by Derek Walcott (Read by Jon Kabat-Zinn)

I've already posted a piece from Jurassic Park on here, but it was a piano-oriented arrangement that was a bit of a mess looking back. 

But that's OK, because now, due to software upgrades, I am able to fully orchestrate the Theme From Jurassic Park in my room at home. 

I used EWQL Symphonic Orchestra for all the sounds, and Logic Pro X as the DAW. I tried to get my recording to sound like Williams's original as closely as possible... and my recording isn't perfect. But I'm just glad to be done with it. Lots of work on this one. 

Nevertheless, enjoy this recording of my favorite movie theme ever!

Wendell Berry reads a collection of his poems, included in the show "The Poetry of Creatures." 

How we see the world is how we value it, says Ellen Davis. And poetry is a way to rediscover the lost art of being creatures. An hour of learning and slowing down, with the "Mad Farmer" poems of Wendell Berry and a new way to take in the "poetry" of Genesis.
