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. January 18, 2018 Ten words, ten lines contest by Silent One

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes..you are right Carole..many thanks for your comments.

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

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.

An avant-garde touch in the powerful poetry... An excellent use of the ten words, I must agree ... Mine I will post now, with much fewer words done somehow...
