“True Opulence” Now at the the West End Gallery
A summer Sunday morning, the heat not yet fully realized. Quiet, not much stirring. A doe with her two fawns saunters through the shade of the yard and munches the tall unmowed grass, chewing as she lifts her head to survey the scene.
The world still feels intact in these moments. In rhythm. Sane.
But the heat builds. Noise intensifies. Animals fade into the cooler, quieter shadows of the forest.
Rhythm is lost and an air of tension fills the void.
I don’t know where I am going with this. Just an observation, I suppose.
Summer days in the time of pandemic.
These are the days when I need something to remind me of the possibility of this world. With that in mind, I am just going to go ahead and introduce this week’s Sunday morning music. It’s another new piece from composer Max Richter from his upcoming album, Voices. This piece is called All Human Beings and begins with Eleanor Roosevelt reading from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The music is set to a lovely film from Yulia Mahr.
Maybe it can keep the world, at least as I am seeing it, in rhythm for a bit today. Have a good, quiet Sunday.
