Last week I heard a wonderful piece called 'Concerto De Arajuez' played by a local Silver band and searched on you tube to listen to the piece again,

I found this fabulous performance which was done during lockdown, I love the fact these musicians went the extra mile to entertain during such challenging times

Seems like the lockdown era brought us many virtual events. Musicians and former teachers like me used Zoom... we adjusted and now the dynamics have changed. Anyway, I like the sound of music you rendered in your poem. Enjoy your weekend, Sara

Jan, TY for posting the music and explanation of what was done via your poetry. The artists found a way to express themselves, and I am the lucky one since you posted the work and music here. It's somber, sad, but also very beautiful....kinda like life itself. TY

There were some good things that came from lockdown. What a beautiful piece. I have always wanted to learn to play a musical instrument. But unfortunately, the talent jumped from my father to my son. Went right over my head.
