Variations

Whenever i find myself losing faith in humanity, i come back to the classical music. They are a great reminder that we are also able to produce beautiful things made out of strong and barely controllable emotions.
~Efrat Cybulkiewicz


More at-home performances for Music Monday.

This beautiful rendition of Edward Elgar's “Nimrod” is by the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra:



A Hope for the Future, a new song written by Matt Catingub in tribute to health care specialists dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic, was performed 30 of the world’s most celebrated trumpet players.

  1. I love Nimrod; we played it in our local symphony a few years ago (I play violin). I'm missing the symphony especially today, as our concert would have been this weekend and I'm returning my folder tonight so the rental music can be returned. I don't know if the older community members, like me, will be able to play in the symphony next fall.

  2. I'm sorry to hear that, Jeanne! Returning your folder sounds like unwanted closure :-(. I hope you are still able to make music where you are (and that they find a way for everyone to play safely in the fall). Maybe outdoor quartets? Sending a hug!

  3. What struck me most (besides the beautiful music, of course) was the amazing quality of the recording...so hat's off to the people behind the scenes too.
