Sunday Music

Not really a day in the sun, but a very nice weekend – and a free Monday as bonus; Pfingsten (Ger., Eng.) is one of the most friendly Hochfeste for me.
It is a beautiful May this year.
This afternoon I hear the birds chatter outside in the bushes, even at night the Nachtigallen (Ger., Eng.) can not be quiet for an hour or so, a loquacious lot. So in order not to add to the unnecessary verbiage, here’s a short and knackige version of Lullaby of Birdland (Ger., Eng.) by Teddy Wilson (1912-1986) (Ger., Eng.) - enjoy.

I hope you have a peaceful week.

Here’s a version of The Way Young Lovers Do by Van MORRISON (Ger., Eng.) that is different from the one on the lp Astral Weeks. I would not describe my live and times as “astral” or “stellar”, but in comparison to what it was some months ago (subterranean in hindsight), namely through last winter, it has definitely improved. Things get sorted. I discover that I have a brain (kind of) and that it can still be used … life is an adventure.
Let’s hope that life is a friendly adventure for all of us, at least for the coming seven days, I wish it for you: Have a good week.

Maybe I can post more often now.

The Eisheilige (Ger., Eng.) arrived, and they did their job well: Temperatures dropped again from the thirties (Celsius) to something between 20 and 15°. Let’s wait for cold Sophie (Ger., Eng.) (15th of May), afterwards summer will come with might.
Today I want to feel peaceful, calm, I think a little Renaissance choral will help, like the one Giovanni PIERLUIGI da Palestrina (1514?-1594) (Ger., Eng.) composed, performed by Voices of Ascension. I hope you enjoy it.

What a fast – and strange -  week it was. Short, because of the holiday; all of a sudden summer arrived with tempertures of more than 30° Celsius – and as fast as it came it vanished again, today its grey, cold and raining. It feels like a harvest afternoon.
Here is a quiet little piece by McCoy TYNER (Ger., Eng.) titled After the Rain.
With a very special nod to Macy.
