"Issac, Issac, blessed must thou be...)

Ok, so I believe in being honest. The last post, not so nice... I am having some issues (obviously.) No insight for today, let's just listen to some music. Hows about Britten's Canticle II. Abraham and Issac. I think it might actually be one of the most powerful things he wrote. Two singers: a tenor who plays "Abraham" a Mezzo as "Issac" when they sing together they form the voice of God. Just a ravishing piece of music. Britten uses it in his War Requiem, another amazing work and statement on humanity, it really should be performed more often. Thinking about fathers today, this piece seemed fitting. At any rate, excuse the rantings of a crazy, sometimes you just got to let it out.

Another composer to look up: Luke Mayernik, he composed a work entitled A Requiem for Mr. Rodgers, lovely http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1742804.

I know all of the Requiem talk, it is almost November. Time to think of these things. Peace...
