Soothing Strings

Listen to...really listen!  Don't the strings settle something essential inside you?  Something that needs soothing, calming, smoothing over, settling down?  I love this!

Maybe it's because of all I've been undergoing, all I'm planning to do, or now doing, but this piece is like a balm to me right now. I keep listening to it, trying to distinguish the different stringed instruments being played...is that deep sound a cello? Is it just the one guitar? Beautiful!

Sounds like one guitar. I remember the Inspector and this is a beautiful piece

very enjoyable....I agree ....soothing...

It is, isn't it, Jud?

I think I've found a poem to go with it, which I will read aloud, and then, if I get my friend's permission, I'll post the words for afterwards.

is it three instruments only...a guitar, a cello and a violin?

Kae B said...

Do you prefer this version? It's certainly much grander! It is the original version, as it turns out, composed by the man whose name appears on the video. He's an Australian, living in England. Violins are an especially poignant instrument for me, and in this version, there seems to be, in addition to more strings, at least one wind instrument, as well. A horn?

You're so right..it's a lovely piece..soothing. The cello often does that for me. I heard a flute in there..or some kind of pipe.. very nice.
