Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Cindy, and thanks for the Friday Night Viseos for the troops to enjoy. ((HUGS))

I will be playing more than a few when I get home.

[Publius]

I've actually located recordings of Rachmaninov playing the piano courtesy of Ampico piano rolls that were played on a modern concert grand.

When we do the last week, I'll have a story about my late mother's encounter with Rachmaninov in 1936.

[ColdOne]

Hello from Idaho.... It is looking seriously like winter is near. the fire activity for the past 2 days for us has been minimal. Monday rain and lighting storms.... hopefully rain.

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS
SUPPORT THEM ALWAYS
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE PAST AND PRESENT.

((HUGS))

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, AZ, for today's Tunes For Our Troops!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...hope your day went well and healing continues apace.

[ConorMacNessa]

Outstanding, Publius!

[Fiji Hill]

Rakhmaninov's Piano Concerto #2 in C-Minor has shown up in pop music. In the spring of 1946, Frank Sinatra turned it into a hit.

[Publius]

Both the second movement and the finale have been turned into pop music hits.

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Kathy!

*HUGS*

Day went well, thanks - I was horizontal for most of it. The leg is coming along - next visit with the orthopedist is Thursday the 27th.

[Publius]

At age 14, Sergei Rachmaninov turned out a set of three nocturnes. There is a bit less of Chopin in these three, and the style of the composer is more apparent.

Rachmaninov: Nocturne #1 in F# minor

The second video shows the score, and you can see just how complicated a piece by Rachmaninov could be, even at a young age.

Nocturne #2 in F

The third nocturne shows Sergei using the piano to imitate the sound of bells. This was to become a recurrent idea in his music.

Nocturne #3 in C minor

[AZamericonnie]

Good Gads! I finally made it back on though not sure how long it will last. GRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Missing Man Setting

“The Empty Chair”

By Captain Carroll “Lex” Lefon, USN (ret), on December 21st, 2004

“In the wardroom onboard the aircraft carrier from which I recently debarked was a small, round table, with single chair. No one ever sat there, and the reasons, both for the table being there, and for the fact that the chair was always empty, will tell the reader a little bit about who we are as a culture.The wardroom, of course, is where the officers will dine; morning, noon and evening. It is not only a place to eat – it is also a kind of oasis from the sometimes dreary, often difficult exigencies of the service. A place of social discourse, of momentary relief from the burdens of the day. The only things explicitly forbidden by inviolable tradition in the wardroom are the wearing of a cover or sword by an officer not actually on watch, or conversation which touches upon politics or religion. But aboard ships which observe the custom, another implicit taboo concerns the empty chair: No matter how crowded the room, no matter who is waiting to be seated, that chair is never moved, never taken.

The table is by the main entrance to the wardroom. You will see it when you enter, and you will see it when you leave. It draws your eyes because it is meant to. And because it draws your eyes it draws your thoughts. And though it will be there every day for as long as you are at sea, you will look at it every time and your eyes will momentarily grow distant as you think for a moment. As you quietly give thanks.

AS YOU REMEMBER.

The small, round table is covered with a white linen tablecloth. A single place setting rests there, of fine bone china. A wineglass stands upon the table, inverted, empty. On the dinner plate is a pinch of salt. On the bread plate is a slice of lemon. Besides the plate lies a bible. There is a small vase with a single red rose upon the table. Around the vase is wound a yellow ribbon. There is the empty chair.

We will remember because over the course of our careers, we will have had the opportunity to enjoy many a formal evening of dinner and dancing in the fine company of those with whom we have the honor to serve, and their lovely ladies. And as the night wears on, our faces will in time become flushed with pleasure of each other’s company, with the exertions on the dance floor, with the effects of our libations. But while the feast is still at its best, order will be called to the room – we will be asked to raise our glasses to the empty table, and we will be asked to remember:

The table is round to show our everlasting concern for those who are missing. The single setting reminds us that every one of them went to their fates alone, that every life was unique.

The tablecloth is white symbolizing the purity of their motives when they answered the call to duty.

The single red rose, displayed in a vase, reminds us of the life of each of the missing, and their loved ones who kept the faith.

The yellow ribbon around the vase symbolizes our continued determination to remember them.

The slice of lemon reminds us of the bitterness of their fate.
The salt symbolizes the tears shed by those who loved them.
The bible represents the faith that sustained them.
The glass is inverted — they cannot share in the toast.
The chair is empty — they are not here. They are missing.

And we will remember, and we will raise our glasses to those who went before us, and who gave all that they had for us. And a part of the flush in our faces will pale as we remember that nothing worth having ever came without a cost. We will remember that many of our brothers and sisters have paid that cost in blood. We will remember that the reckoning is not over.

We many of us will settle with our families into our holiday season, our Christmas season for those who celebrate it, content in our fortune and prosperity. We will meet old friends with smiles and laughter. We will meet our members of our family with hugs. We will eat well, and exchange gifts and raise our glasses to the year passed in gratitude, and to the year to come with hope. We will sleep the sleep of the protected, secure in our homes, secure in our homeland.

But for many families, there will be an empty chair at the table this year. A place that is not filled.

WE SHOULD REMEMBER.”

In 1890, at age 17, Sergei Rachmaninov tried his hand at a string quartet, which he never finished. Several movements survive, however, and they show that the conservatory student had picked up a great deal from Tchaikovsky. This scherzo shows a lot of promise.

Rachmaninov: String Quartet #1, second movement

This slow movement is a gem, and it gives an indication of what this quartet might have been had Sergei been bold enough to finish it.
