I hear a piece of music that's been around forever and it amazes me that I've never heard it before. Maybe a popular movement, but not the entire work. Just dumbfounded as to how this has been in existence and bam! I hear it for the first time and completely enchanted by the rhythms, colors, textures and tonality. The variety of textures and moods.
A rare treat at this age to discover something that captivates my attention to enjoy and delight in the wonder of something so wonderfully lush. Interesting. Emotional. Passionate.
Smetana's Ma Vlast "My Life"
Where have you been all my life?!?! The universe saved this for me at just the right time when I was primed to take a bite and savor the flavors with my ears.
Now to find full brass being exploited in the most bold and beautiful way possible.
