New Year Music
My children have been filling the house with the sounds of their music. And as we’re smack dab in the middle of summer holidays it pays to allow them to let their hair down every now and again. I also find their music (mostly) preferable to the bang bang of a shooting game or the yells of kids bickering… and since it has been raining (near cyclonic conditions) here, there is very little opportunity for me to shoo them out of the house.
So my ears have been assulted bombarded with the sounds of Maroon 5 (these, I like); Yellowcard (hmmm…) and other names I cannot remember (especially true of the 17-year-olds choice of music).
What to do? I bought them good earphones for Christmas, and I am sure these will be used in days to come. But right now, they’re hanging loose.
So today, I’m dreaming of peaceful, calming music. Music that doesn’t change the rhythm of your heartbeat or make your head pound out a beat of it’s own… I’m dreaming of playing beautiful classics - loud - and enjoying the feeling of it filling my heart and soul as it fills my home.
Here’s a selection of what I am looking forward to:
Mendelssohn - Hebrides Overture
Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 5 Op 73 - The Emperor Concerto
Rachmaninov - Piano Concerto No. 1 in F Sharp Minor
and for sheer delight at the breadth of this work - Tchaikovsky - The Nutcracker Suite

Ah Tchaikovsky!
Lightness, movement, grace, all conjured as I recall memories of exquisitely athletic dancers on many a stage.
That’s why I like a bit of old Tchaikovsky.
The memories of liberated movement!
I can only remember that sense of liberation (I never had the athleticism or the grace) now as my body creaks and groans so often. So the music helps!
