Mendelssohn

He 
Said
Words could
Not express
Scottish Hebrides
Outer banks, only music could 
Mendelssohns' Violin Concerto in A Minor
Expresses the beauty, wind, barreness, the sand, waves, the castles, the 
vegetation all


(Heard that Mendelssohn wrote this while staying on these islands and that he 
loved this land.)

Mendelssohn was so taken by the Scottish Islands that led him to write many tunes on them, another wonderful poem Sara >> Scotland is definately a country worth seeing >> James

"Music has long since provided the metaphors of choice for those puzzling over questions of cosmic concern." Well done.
