Lovely haunting tune…the recorder is such an emotion-filled insturment
I love it. I’ve been playing it since i was six. My cats were never fond of it, however 🙂
This is a haunting tune. For me it has some of the feel of the New World Symphony, which always makes me nostalgic (from its proper Greek meaning – homesick) for a world that didn’t exist in my experience, except, as I think of it in the inner worlds.
I love the word, hiraeth. It means so much, it encompasses so much… x
Where were the lovely photos taken, here, Canada or both?
These were actually from the Lake District, which always reminds me of home!
wonderful – thank you! Your posts are such an insiratio!
Thanks, Barbara! x
Very melancholic! Almost like a lament to the glens. Evocative, yet sad. I personally find autumn a time of melancholy…a time of letting go, of nature dying back and preparing for the harshness of the coming winter.
It IS the best season, in my opinion. I love the melancholy, the slanted light, the smells, the colours…
I agree, You’ve captured the pure spirit of Autumn.
Such a pure and complete tune Joanna, thank you!
Cheers, Raymond! x
Absolutely wonderful. Thank you for sharing. And, hiraeth, is such a great, deep, Welsh word, full of meaning. Excellent
Thanks, Tadhg! x
I love the images. Such a beautiful place. Just a glance out of the window stirs up a desire for me to be out in the woods or on the moors, so these images give me a powerful yearning to feel the wind on my skin, hear the sound of the stream, feel the earth and see the colours of the beautiful land we walk on. Thank you.
You’re most welcome, Gary. x
Beautiful music – could listen to it all day long! Is there anyway I can get the music, as I also play the recorder?
Hi Andrea, I don’t really do musical annotation. I can read music at a basic level, but I’ve never actually annotated it myself for any of my work. It’s all done by ear 🙂
I’m currently looking into the possibility of putting a cd together, so stay tuned for further updates here 🙂
