Today, I changed some of the music on our MySpace page. I removed a piece that has been up since first signing up with MySpace and replaced it with Beautiful, a lovely, earlier composition of music2work2. I plan to be making some other changes as well, as soon as I can cut down a couple other sessions. We can only have 4 pieces of music on the MySpace page at a time, so I'll just be rotating off some of the ones that have been up longest and uploading different ones. Watch for more new ones.
There were four new sessions posted on music2work2.com during the month of April. I have written about the others; the fourth one is Heath. It is piano and strings and has a moderate tempo. Listening to this session, the image it evokes for me is of a gentle rain; not a storm, but just the steady falling of raindrops to the earth to nourish and refresh nature. It reminds me of the kind of rain that leaves everything looking green and alive.
Happy May Day! Some people associate May 1st with the beginning of summer; in some countries it is associated with labor and worker's rights. In the USA, it has been adopted as a focus on immigrant workers' rights. For me, May 1st is more an indication that we have seen the last of winter weather - no more freezing temperatures to kill the flowers and newly sprouting foliage. I usually feel pretty confident about planting flowers after May 1st, knowing the risk of their being killed by an unexpected freeze is over.
May brings with it sad memories on Mother's Day and my mother's birthday, knowing that I no longer have her here to celebrate her special occasions. And, it brings the depressing knowledge of my increasing age. I remember dancing around the May Pole when I was in elementary school at the May Day Festival. How could so much time have passed since then?
