Sonata

...dedicated to Henryk Szernyk


Beauty grows with every bow stroke, 
bravura beyond compare; 
golden notes like dew drops falling 
shimmer brightly in the air. 

Like larks aloft they hover lightly, 
soar like angels from on high; 
bring honour to the Lord Almighty, 
swell His praise through earth and sky. 

'Glory, glory, in excelsis,' 
with compelling artistry 
he raises us to heaven for 
a glimpse of immortality.

I take it the violin is the cause of all these exqusite sounds. A beautiful portrayal of sublime music that soars. Love,Elizabeth
