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 gold 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 gold 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."

Many Thanks To Alfa6 For Finding Capt. Lefon's Chronicle Of "The Empty Chair."

Thanks for the Memory--Charlie & His Orchestra

Thanks for the memory
In every German's mind, when you broke the ties that bind
And dictated a peace called the Treaty of Versailles.
How rotten that was.
Thanks for the memory
Of British aims divine, French Negroes on the Rhine
The food blockade and misery all over the German Reich
What an injustice that was.

Many's the time that you feasted,
And many's the time that we fasted.
For you, it was swell while it lasted.
You did have fun, but harm was done.

Well, thanks for the memory.
It gives us strength to fight for freedom and for right.
It might give you a headache, England, that the Germans know how to fight
And hurt you so much.

Living Letters
November 23, 2013

Read: 2 Corinthians 3:1-11

Clearly you are an epistle of Christ . . . written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God. —2 Corinthians 3:3

Bible in a Year:
Ezekiel 20-21; James 5

In November 1963, the same day that President John F. Kennedy was shot, another leader died—Clive Staples Lewis. This Oxford scholar, who had converted from atheism to Christianity, was a prolific writer. Intellectual books, science fiction, children’s fantasies, and other works flowed from his pen with a strong Christian message. His books have been used by God in the conversion of many, including a politician and a Nobel Prize-winning scientist.

Some are called to tell others about Christ through their writing, but all believers are called to be “epistles,” or letters of Christ, in the way we live. The apostle Paul tells us, “Clearly you are an epistle of Christ . . . written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God” (2 Cor. 3:3).

Certainly Paul does not mean we are actually pieces of paper upon which God’s message has been written. But as living “letters” we can illustrate how Jesus Christ makes a difference in how we treat others and strive to live with integrity.

Few will have the influence that C. S. Lewis did, but we are all called to bring glory to the One who loves us and has redeemed us!

Dear Lord, You have called me to be a witness for You
wherever You have placed me. Every day my life is on
display. Help me to live in such a way that others will
want to know You and the abundant life You offer.

We are Christ’s “letters of recommendation” to all who read our lives.

Turkey Hop--The Robins (1950)

[Publius]

For five years after the “Les adieux” Sonata, which we did last week, Beethoven devoted himself to other forms and did not write a single piano sonata.

His opera “Leonora” went through three failed iterations before the soprano who played the title role, Anna Milder, sat Beethoven down with a blue pencil and mercilessly hacked away at the score. Lou was prickly about criticism of his music, but Anna had been in the opera house since her childhood and understood that Lou’s opera needed a good trim. When she and Lou were finished, the opera, now re-titled “Fidelio”, was a hit.

Lou composed symphonies, and that was where most of his energies went. His deafness was slowly increasing. The death of his brother and the custody battle over his nephew Karl was beginning to take a toll on his musical life.

In 1814, at age 44, Beethoven went back to the sonata and wrote a little two-movement piece.

There is an anecdote about this sonata that is fascinating. Later in the century, the great Russian pianist Anton Rubinstein made this one of his signature pieces. It was said that he could draw the most beautiful emotions out of the rondo finale.

In the early 20th Century, decades after Rubinstein’s death, one of his female students had as one of her female students a teenage pianist who later went on to acclaim. (I’m blanking out on her name unfortunately.) When the teenager played this sonata in concert, as she sat down at the piano, she blacked out, and when she regained consciousness, the audience was on its feet applauding wildly, cheering, and many had their handkerchiefs out. The teenage pianist staggered offstage and found her teacher shivering in the wings. “Child,” the teacher said, “if I hadn’t seen you at the piano with my own eyes, I would have sworn it was Rubinstein playing.”

(cue the “Twilight Zone” theme)

The Piano Sonata in E minor, Op. 90, has German, rather than Italian directions. The first movement in 3/4 is marked mit lebhaftigkeit und durchaus mit Empfindung und Ausdruck, which translates to “with liveliness and feeling and expression throughout”. Lou uses his stop-and-start mechanism to drive the movement, and the first subject is harmonically unstable, shifting in and out of remote keys. When he launches into the second subject in B minor backed by 16th notes in the right hand, the theme is on the off-beats.
Lou does not repeat the exposition but drives right into the development at 2:00. He starts with the second subject and works his way back to the first, ending it with counterpoint.
At 3:14, he recaps and places his second subject in the correct key of E minor. He ends it slowly and quietly.

The finale in 2/4 and E Major is marked nicht zo geschwind und sehr singbar vorgetragen, which translates as “not too quickly and conveyed in a singing manner”. It’s a song in rondo format, and it’s best to lay back and roll with it. I love the way it just evaporates at the end.

Beethoven: Piano Sonata in E minor, Op. 90

I have a special treat for those who want to probe this piece more deeply. The great pianist Andras Schiff gave a master class in England on the piece, taking it apart bar by bar.

Andras Schiff explains Beethoven’s Opus 90

The Notorious B.I.G. wrote an incredibly obscene hip-hop number to the finale of this sonata, which I will not link to because I don’t want to get banned! If you’re sufficiently curious, look up this sonata at YouTube, and you’ll find it. You may wish you hadn’t. A shower afterward might be in order.

Howdy Buckaroos & Rooettes! If you recall, last weekend I counted down Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Songs of all time. This week I've decided to count down my own list of 100 greats. I had only three ground rules for my selections:
#1. No duplicate artists (so there's not ten Beatle songs this week)
#2. No duplicates from last week (so none of these songs were on Rolling Stone's Top 100 last week)
#3. Get'r'done in less than 2 hours. I picked the tunes - rated them on the Drumbo scale and they are currently uploading (so I'm tap-dancing until I have some MP3s to post and while I'm dumping files to the Drumbo server, bandwidth may be a bit hinky, so be patient).

I know that everyone's tastes differ (the Rolling Stone list proved that), but there's still going to be some great tunage here for your downloading and educational pleasure. Enjoy!
