Ten small paintings by Victor Hartmann inspired Mussorgski to write corresponding piano pieces. Later, Ravel fully orchestrated Mussorgskis' work. Here, I undo all that was done, before v. Trilbi A skittering chitter Of fleeting peepings Silly yellow swirlings vi. Rich Man, Poor Man Samuel, A man In prosperous pose With gold accrued In costly clothes His home, a shrine To gods of trade From the bones of poor His bread is made Schmuyle A man Of meager means Eats brittle meals Of bread and beans Slow in pace and Thin in wealth His home of cold Erases health vii. Limoges (The Market) In walls of wind And floor of straw This market offers Nearly all To haggles’ gaggle Bustles’ jostle Silks, in bolt or Spice in stalls Jugs of milk And honeyed wine Crocks of salt Drinks of malt And silver, fine Offered here in Comings’ goings Cries of “mine!” And ovine lowing ~wranx In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward". |

Absolutely truly fine, everyone you've not undone! My favorites are the 1st and the last, but I'd not in any way want to miss the middles! Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

(rises in standing ovation) Yay!!! Oh my gosh, I just have to hear these samplings of Mussorgski now, you truly compose these symphonies with words, I love it, it is amazing how art can reply and everything within it is interconnected, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Wranx, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
