@strumelia Beautiful lyric. Thank you for posting it.
It's true...
First performed in 1697, William Congreve's play The Mourning Bride includes as its first line, “Musick has Charms to soothe the savage Breast/to soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak..”
@strumelia I think my shoulder understands playing lots of notes all the time isn't meaningful. (Shoulder woes from an old rotator cuff/soft tissue injury.)
On a serious note, thanks for listening and for the kind comment! For the past several years, we make music here at home to bring comfort and joy to ourselves and it helps with navigating life's responsibilities.
I believe that knowing what moments to let float in the air is more effective and meaningful than playing notes all the time. You and Mark do this instinctively I think.
That explains why i enjoy Irish airs more than the Irish tunes with constant eighth notes, which make me want to 'escape' after a while.
Same is true when talking, though i myself have a harder time doing that.
Many thanks, @dusty -- we're happy you found it calming! Our specialty is pausing.
Calming. Meditative. Introspective. Not nap-inducing. That pause on the minor chord around 1:04 is striking.
