Vijay Pandit Poet Free verse

A Brief On Music

Bona fide baroque melodies resonated concert halls in Italy
Reigning Western Europe with elan more than a century
Until new composers innovated into avant-garde music
As ennui artists soon after wrote romantic modern beats.

Cacophony of sounds emerged after advent of modernity
As talent won carte-blanche to write popular harmonies.
Feeling of deja vu echoed sounds in modern-day music halls
When baroque compositions reignited latent fond-memories.

Dilettante musicians did not succeed except as an anomaly
For the musical world crowns only the best of its creativity.

Valsa George May 24, 2023 at 8:53 PM Wise observations on modern music, dear Vijay. I wonder why cocophony has found prior place in music in the place of the old cheering melodies.

Andrea Dietrich January 20, 2019 at 3:25 PM very well done, Vijay. Is Silent One's contest ten lines ten words? I thought that was Luloo. I think I better take a look since I've done the contest of neither sponsor yet.

Vladislav Raven January 12, 2019 at 2:57 PM Hi Vijay, love the content, another wonderful write from your golden pen. This one took me away into memories of my own. Being a lover of most forms of music, this piece set my mind singing in so many directions. I loved the visions your words brought to my mind. Have a wonderful weekend. Your friend always....Mike.

Agnes Krampe January 30, 2018 at 5:58 PM This is a nice music history lesson. I love "Cacophony of sounds emerged after advent of modernity" - I am not a fan of twelve tone music. Congrats on your win, Vijay. Vijay Pandit January 31, 2018 at 6:21 AM Thank you Agnes.

Carole Duet January 22, 2018 at 10:02 PM Yes, it was a difficult challenge but it is so interesting and pleasurable to read all the different ideas that are springing forth from just a list of words and music is one of those perfect ideas. I have a feeling the word, "baroque", is the one which was the impetus for your very fine poem about music. GL, Vijay. Vijay Pandit January 23, 2018 at 12:31 PM Yes..you are right Carole..many thanks for your comments.

Andrea Dietrich January 21, 2018 at 7:27 PM This challenge is so difficult for me. You took it to a natural place: MUSIC. Love the final couplet's message. Vijay Pandit January 22, 2018 at 7:01 AM Thank you Andrea.

Sneha Rv January 20, 2018 at 5:43 AM I love how you made this about the differences in the sounds of music over time and used the words so nicely.. all the best in the contest :) Vijay Pandit January 20, 2018 at 6:29 AM Thank you Sneha.

Anne-Lise Andresen January 19, 2018 at 2:26 PM - This you have mastered really amazing ... difficult words, Vijay - Best wishes in the contest - I wish you a wonderful weekend :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Vijay Pandit January 20, 2018 at 6:29 AM Thank you Anne-Lise.

Judith S January 19, 2018 at 9:15 AM An interesting write Vijay. I always find it extremely intriqueing how a mere 7 notes ... arranged with flats and sharps and octaves ... can produce such different results. Best of luck in the contest! ~Judy Vijay Pandit January 19, 2018 at 10:37 AM Enjoyed reading your comments Judy. You certainly know how to create music...I do not. Flats, sharps and octaves..foreign to me. Nice to hear from someone talented in the subject matter...many thanks Judy.
