This astonishing jazz version by Nina Simone of "Black Swan" from Mennotti's opera The Medium would make a wonderful alternative to the Tchaikovsky as a background for the Swan video:
I dated a guy years ago who I LOVED....(at the time)...the Canon in D started our relationship (long story)...kind of made me sad listening; the bird helped perk me up! I used to have flocks of parrots outside my kitchen window in an old apartment I lived in...I love parrots!
AOW...wait till you hear who I SAW TONIGHT! at geeeZ :-)

I'd almost forgotten how dark and menacing this orchestral episode from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake could sound.
There is something haunting and grim about the surface of that water -- especially the area choked with reeds.
I often wonder if the wild creatures have any idea of the danger -- or the wonder -- in which they live?

ReplyDeleteAnything for a break from politics right now!
A nice break. We can really take a break once the election is over.
ReplyDeleteHubby and I voted today, proudly cast our vote for Romney (against Obama).
