Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
...That none have seen but we alone.
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

I can almost recall Shostikovich #5... while it's fuzzy brain territory... I'm almost positive we played that for the WA All-State band concert. Yeah, it's brass intensive, which might splain why I like it so much.
I'm not getting instant recall of #7. Can you hum a few bars? :-)

A Kolache? That's something you *eat*?
Hmm... it sounds more like something you are supposed to wear on your feet. :-)

Yeah, I remember this vinyl of 1812 we had, recorded in 1958, also with a real bronze cannon from West Point. To this day, it is still regarded as one of the finest 1812s.
I actually managed to find a CD of it a few years ago in a second-hand store. Hmmm... must see if I have it here, or if it's still in storage back in AZ.

Hmmmm... galoshes are one of those things on that list of things most Texans just don't need.
Food items on the other hand, like kolaches....

Yahknow... I think I was confused... I think that it was that Minneapolis Symphony recording I was thinking of when I thought of the brass (er, bronze) cannon. The Telarc digital was some other cannon. It had to be.
I'm easily confused. Ask anyone.

Shostakovich Symphony #7 was written in Leningrad in 1941-2 while it was under Nazi siege, and as such, was hailed as a triumph of the Soviet spirit against all odds. "However, all is not necessarily as it seems (or, as the Soviet authorities wanted to see it). The symphony's famous savagery (the march-theme in the first movement in particular, but in other places through-out the work) could just as easily be read as a depiction of the brutality of totalitarianism in general. Many now believe this to have been Shostakovich's real intention."
It is most well known for the "invasion" march in the first movement, which starts out with just a snare drum-beat. It builds and builds in intesity up to a veritable orgy of brass power (he wrote for a double-size brass section!). But my favorite is the triumphant finale, when the bass trombone comes in and just shakes the walls, then the rest of the brass comes in. Gettin' all fahklempt just thinking about it... or maybe it's the Mahler 2 finale I gots blasting. The full chorus and organ just came in!

No, usually when we put our foot in our mouths we do things up the right way and have a mouth full of both feet about up to the kneecaps. Food doesn't go. Kolaches are one good way of making a food offering to the offended party after one has had such an experience with the feet.
