The Music Theme for this week is HIDDEN.
____________________________________
MARVELOUS MADELINE has chosen next week’s theme: SHADOWSIDE
____________________________________
Are some answers hidden by a protective  labyrinth, waiting for knowledge of the way to be remembered? Are the answers just part of the puzzel?  Can hidden knowledge be learned by study and research,  or must such knowledge be achieved by living experience?  Is being alive, itself, a journey through a layrinth?

“Translation from … Romanian to English:
“And God told to his apprentices…I gave you a command…to pray to the Lord for the mercy, life, peace, health, salvation, the search, the leave and the forgiveness of the sins of God’s children. The ones that pray, they have mercy and they take good care of this holy place”. Blueskywatcher

Is it wished that some events would remain hidden by ignoring them or pretending they did not happen? Does ignorance of history make the past different?

In 1941 the largest single massacre of the Holocaust took place at Babi Yar, a ravine in Kiev.
In just 2 days almost 34 thousand Jews were murdered by a team of German SS troops, other German units, and local collaborators.

Are such massacres a thing only of the past? What horrors are secretly being perpetrated and hidden now? Yesterday? A month ago? Last year?   … Tonight?  … Tomorrow?

Brahms’ Lullaby — sung by Chloe Agnew
2min. 34sec.

Innocent children are like stars radiating sparkling warmth and spiritual beauty. How can anyone not be HAPPY in their company? Unless the child is unhappy, then there is a type of selfless joy in doing what can be done for the child’s best interests.

So how is it that the HAPPINESS of children is so easily amplified? A wonder and a mystery for which I am grateful.

God Danced the Day You Were Born — Andrew Lawrence — sung by Hot Soup
2min. 42sec.

My Little Sister sends me a link to this video every year on my birthday, since it was first placed on You Tube. Not only is it a nice remembrance, it makes me HAPPY to listen to this because I know that my sister can sing equally well, a cappella, and she prefers HAPPY, upbeat music for herself, and to share. She has had more than her portion of heartache and tragedy, yet she is of such a strong good heart, that she is always trying to raise the spirits of those close to her.

THUNDERSTRUCK — 2 Cellos
4min. 58sec.

If I am feeling sad or misunderstood or blue, this video cheers me up right away. The concluding applause has not yet failed to evoke a big grin, and at the minimum, from myself, a silent chuckle. Sometimes I laugh out loud.

Δαιμονία Νύμφη Μουσών
3min.  38sec.

The Muses are a source of HAPPINESS by facilitating Voice. Whether perceived and understood, or not, the acts of expression and creation are acts of joy.
In the video clip there is pictured a lovely UNICORN, for Lisa.

Requiem — Mozart
1hr 17min. 12sec.

What did Mozart have to transcend to write this? What did this orchestra have to transcend to perform? What had to be overcome for the venue with the beautiful pipe-organ, to even exist? I am taken to a place outside of HAPPINESS, outside of myself, outside of death, by this performance.

FIRE — OST Angels and Deamons — Hans Zimmer
6min.  52sec.

Sometimes the closest I am able to come to HAPPINESS is to say nothing, and so allow those close to me to retain their own HAPPINESS by not becoming aware that I am present and that I am also not present.
.
I REMAIN SILENT
.
I am present.
I am also not present.
I am an observer
Of myself.
I am a guardian
Of my grief.
I am a
Silent voice,
To preserve
The Wa.
My heart is
Somewhere else.
I only pass through
This pleasant
Landscape
As a guide.
I must move gently
Through your HAPPYNESS,
As the voice
Of my silence
Travels on
To somewhere else,
Another life,
Another time.

THE HEART OF THE UNICORN — Gamma Ray
4min. 47 sec.

When I mentioned to my youngest son, as we were discussing amusing things, that the music theme this week is WHERE THE UNICORNS ARE, he said he knew of a UNICORN song, and would send me a link. He did so, and included this sentence “When life gives you marshmallow unicorns, give life speed metal.”

Summer — Music Themes

Lisa has chosen the new theme for Thursday:  “I was thinking distance. I have much to say about that. ”

_____________________________________________
Csillag-Ős — The Moon And The Nightspirit with guest vocalists Catarina Raposo of Dwelling, Saskia Dommisse of Poets to their Beloved, and Alessandra Santovito of Hexperos

Hungarian and Portuguese and Dutch and Italian


_____________________________________________
Summer, Vivaldi Recomposed — Max Richter — Daniel Hope — Orchestra L’arte del Mondo Rostock, 2013

_____________________________________________
Faun — Iduna

We have already passed the solstice and though the heat is still building, here in the Northern hemisphere, we are headed towards autumn and harvests. Fist, and in some cases, second cuttings of hay have already been done and many hot crops (water melons) have been harvested already. Second plantings have been done. Mid-summer hottest stuff growing.. beans, okra, peanuts, sweet potatoes, tobacco … and it’s a hot summer …

_____________________________________________
Berta, Berta  —  Branford Marsalis  —The Piano Lesson 1990 — August Williams  —  Charles S. Dutton – Courtney B. Vance – Carl Gordon – Lou Myers

The insect noises in the piece sound just like the noises of hot summer where I live. the lyrics are inviting a prisoner’s sweetheart to find a good man, not in prison, and to go ahead and marry and to have a good life before it is too late. While the prisoners on the chain gang sweat and work and chant/sing.

_____________________________________________
Faun — Unda

What is summer without water, without waves? And if for you, like for me, the ocean is dream of yesterday, and you can’t even get in the sun, for one reason or another, then you can become the waves, the vibrations. For that is what everything is … resonation.

Unda (Latin) = the Waves
Unda attingit        The wave reaches you
Te et abducit         And leads you
Te in profunda      To the depths.
Sicut es unda.        Likewise you are the wave

_____________________________________________
Blood of the Dragon – Nox Arcana

How can anyone get through summer without slaying a few dragons?

_____________________________________________
Das Märchen vom Zaren Saltan, Act III, Scene Tableau 1: Orchestral Interlude. Hummelflug — Rimsky Korsikov 1903 — Sergei Rachmaninov piano arrangement and recording Flight of the Bumblebee 1929

Bumble bees, of course, do their work in Summer.

_____________________________________________
Falkenstein – Sommer

_____________________________________________
Mermaids — Hans Zimmer—Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides …

Summer is also a time of fantasy and imagination and myths. Or are myths based on some lost truth? Sea-faring cultures from around the world have stories of mermaids.

_____________________________________________
Faun -Mehrnoush …

Summer seem to enhance the intense nostalgia for childhood home, though the reality may be covered in mist….

Zaubersprueche                                                  Spells or Enchanment

In einem dunklen                                               Tal In a dark valley
Lag jüngst ich träumend nieder,                     Where I was recently dreaming,
Sa sah ich einen Strahl                                       I saw a beam
Von meiner Heimat wieder.                              From my home again.

CRITICALLY CONFUSING CRYPTICS
As the inertia was lost while some of us were AFTC (Away From The Computer) for various reasons, and we have been unable to overcome the resulting inertia, CRTICALLY CONFUSING CRYPTICS will have to create its own momentum. I have chosen the first subject MAYA माया ILLUSION to start off. The next subject will be chosen by Eva to be “published” Thursday, February 27, 2014.

I træets øverste grene

Sad en pige så alene
Et ansigt sig spejlede i tællelampens skær
Borte var alle hun havde haft så kær
Og dødens vind den strejfede hendes kind

————————————————————

In the tree’s upper branches
Sat a girl so alone
A face is mirrored in counting the lamp inserts
Gone was all she had held so dear
And the wind of death roamed her cheek

—————————————————————————-

I træets øverste grene sad en pige så alene
Men håbet det boede i hendes unge sind
Som lyset det flakkede i den røde aftenvind
Og livet kyssede hendes kind

Alene de andre er døde
Alene alle er døde
Alene resten er døde
Lys mit lys

3 mile derfra sad i sorg en ungersevend
Hand troede ej mere skulle få en ven
Modløs han stirrede mod aftenhimlen grå
I det fjerne et glimt ud i mørket han så

Han løb gennem stok han løb over sten, gennem moser og krat og forrev sine ben
Men ensom at være det ville han ej, og ran så af sted på den lange mørke vej
Han løb over mark og han løb gennem skov, alt imens pigen sad i træet og sov
Han løb gennem hegn og løb over krat, han stred sig igennem den mørkeste nat

Alene de andre er døde
Alene alle er døde
Alene resten er døde
Lys mit lys
