String Quartets
 

I have developed an appreciation and deep love for strings:
My mother plays the violin and I have several friends who play
stringed instruments (I play the piano and want to take up
a serious interest in the guitar, later this summer...)

Schubert ~~> Death and the Maiden (Quartet in D Minor)

The beautiful sounds from Yo Yo Ma

This made me cry...16 violins used by Jewish Holocaust victims were restored and played together in a concert in Jerusalem in 2008...



Violins of Hope

Andres Segovia
 

One of my many favorites, perfect for a Saturday morning.

P. Tchaikovski | F. Schubert | J.S. Bach
 

*Good Morning!*

What a beautiful blend of String Theory!

Here's a few to add to the mix on this beautiful Saturday morning:

Peter Tchaikovski
Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor, Op. 23
(Allegro Non Troppo E Molto Maestoso).


Franz Schubert
Ave Maria
(ft. Joshua Bell)


JS Bach
Concerto in D Minor
(ft. Itzhak Perlman & Isaac Stern)

Quite possibly the most innovative & brilliant young composer in America; and an incredibly talented violinist.

His music mixes up hip-hop, classical, electronic, spoken word, improvisation...
If you ever have the opportunity to see him, don't miss it.

Daniel Bernard Roumain (DBR)

Strung Out on Cold Play!
 

I just want to say a huge Thank You to all of you for being
as Strung Out, as me, on Strings! *lol*

I'll be back later (have a beautiful Saturday!),
~D

Give me some attitude!
 

Paco de Lucia
 

Another one of my favorites.

The tail of my 'star' is burning White-Hot-Blue across the skies...
 

*Goodness sakes!*

Many of you might like and enjoy music by The Corrs and there's a backstory (or rather, more like a story-within-a-story) about that, but I'll save it for another place in time...

The no. 13 is magical (and my 'lucky' number :cheesy:)
and I am always amazed when I see connections as I map
progress, daily, moment by moment at times, in my life.

That's all I have for the moment right now because I'm private like that;
however it's a consistent lesson (measurement, if you will) in my world that I remain open - let my arms be wide open - so I can fly and leave traces of my essence as I soar across the skies of life...

Here's to my love of String Theory, Stars, the No. 13 & Bonds that Tie:

The Corrs ~~> Toss the Feathers

CST 503: Creative License (String Theory)
 

What beautiful selections people are leaving for this forum thread!


SoOOoOoOoo,
I'm leaving this video tonight because it is a part of my teaching matrix in COM LAW - Creative License: What an interesting communications course this class has been to me during my final semester in graduate school. This song (and historical issues attendant to it) is one of many examples I have built into my presentation for Monday night's class - the last time our class meets.

I'll catch up with you all soon
and look forward to listening to more
great examples of Music ft. Strings!
