September‘s musical pieces were my #BookSpin for September, and I‘m finally finished

The curious thing happened. My listening had been going well, so I thought I would buy her second book. With the result that I stopped listening, and now has some catching up to do

But I love these musical pieces and how they introduce me to so many different composers

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4d

I‘ve fallen behind on my listening, but have started to catch up

This is worth remembering and that‘s an impressive walk

Suet624 Almost seems like a typo! 250 miles uphill in snow? 4d
AnneCecilie @Suet624 I had to google it and it seems correct. It‘s an over 5 he drive today. So quite the distance to walk 4d
Suet624 Yowzer! 4d

Yesterday started out gloomy and then the wind picked up and washed it away. Today is a perfect fall day.

I love Vivaldi‘s Four Seasons and learned he wrote sonnets for each season at a candlelight performance a couple of years ago.

Here is Autumn: https://youtu.be/UIdwCrfDNjU?si=QrP8lmLBVBdn3b_B.

Along with Van Gogh‘s Harvest at La Crau with Montmajour in the Background.

My roommate freshman year played this all year. All.the.time. It‘s been 45 years, so maybe I‘m ready to hear it again. 😀 @kspenmoll @AnnCecilie

My daughter could start in band/orchestra this year at her school. She chose the cello. The instrument is about as big as her but she is excited. We are trying to match her enthusiasm as we listen to the sweet (screeching) sounds as she‘s learning how to play. She was adamant that she wanted to play the cello from the start. She‘s also seen someone on YouTube play “Pink Pony Club” on cello & it‘s motivated her more.

Aims42 Yay! Love this 🥰 I played the viola from 5th thru 7th grade. Good times, lots of screeching sounds too. From the instrument and from me getting frustrated lol 😆 1mo
Eggbeater Screeeammmm! The cello is my favorite! Good for her! 🫶 1mo
Susanita Good choice! 1mo

Ruthiella Love the cello. Also makes me think of “Take the Money and Run” where Woody Allen is the cello player in a marching band. 😂 1mo
ncsufoxes @Aims42 I played the flute from 5th thru 11th. I‘m sure my family heard many hours of me attempting to play. I‘m happy that she‘s picked something unique. I just hope that she‘ll persevere through the process. My school never had any options like the violin, viola or cello. 1mo
Aims42 @ncsufoxes I‘ve got my fingers crossed for her 🤞 My nephew picked the trumpet, so my sister‘s been having fun too lately lol 😆 1mo
Cuilin My daughter did too, from 4th grade right through high school. I miss those concerts. 1mo
AnnCrystal Bravo! The beautiful cello, that's wonderful. Like the ugly duckling story...the sweet screeching will transform into sweet melodies with practice 🎶👏🏼🥳👍🏼💝. 1mo

Reggie Omg there‘s this cello quartet that has a whole cd where they play Metallica covers. And then there‘s Yoyo Ma. All his work on the Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon soundtrack, soooo beautiful. I hope she loves and sticks with it. 1mo
monalyisha The cello is the instrument I wish I played! Rasputina is another great band to check out! I‘m particularly fond of their album “A Radical Recital” and their cover of “Barracuda”! 4w

My favorite #musician is my offspring B! They‘ve been playing the cello for 5 years now. This was from a fiddle club performance from earlier this summer. #CharacterCharm

Welcoming the cool air, lightly clouded sky & bird song this morning with coffee & a book. The occasional crow of a rooster breaks the quiet.
This day‘s musical pick adds to the sacred feel of the morning. #porchlife

I had fallen a couple of days behind in my listening of this book, and listened to yesterday‘s piece today

That felt a little serendipitous. I saw Moonrise Kingdom directed by Wes Anderson yesterday. Benjamin Britten is mentioned several times and when the music is shown at the end, several of his pieces had been used. Life works in mysterious ways sometimes

Librarybelle I loved how this happened sometimes during the year I did this—how I‘d listen to a piece and then hear more about it within a week of listening to it. So many wonderful connections to the pieces she discusses! 5mo
