Welcome to my regular Friday song/tune day, ladies and gentlemen, where I pick a piece of music that reflects my mood or the times, to share with you.
The people of eastern Australia spent another week on tenterhooks with coronavirus hotspots popping up across three states. Unvaccinated people took to their doonas or had parties, including at one state parliament house. I do note however that many health workers have been vaccinated so that is good news. Let the good times roll. In other news, one political party in a governing coalition had a leadership challenge while the leader of the other party in that coalition was in quarantine after returning from o/s. Yep, things are almost back to normal downunder. I imagine that developments overseas are just as challenging to the collective psyche. I don’t know about you, but I need to chill out. Let music fill the chamber, so to speak.
We can still make beautiful music if we work together. We can worry about the rakali another day (in joke).
Here is one of my favourite pieces – Ravel, Introduction and Allegro for flute, clarinet, harp and string quartet, performed by L’Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France. Enjoy.
Take care, everyone. Peace.
Kind Regards.
Tracy.
What a star Ravel was. Such blissful creations. Thank you, Tracy, for posting this one.

I just listened to the entire piece. It reminds me of movie scores from the 1940s (in the best possible way).

I haven’t watched any 40s films, Liz, so I’ll have to take your word on that.

The ebb & tide of lockdowns. Weary weary. Hang in there Tracy!
Thank you for this soothing Ravel piece – I have to say I seldom get to see a man harpist!

I was planning to start the music video and play it in the background, but once I saw the first close-up of the harpist I was rapt. The musicians were so expressive! Beautiful.
