After the long day yesterday i have taken today off to relax.I had a lie-in and then listened to the radio. I have a couple of items to post from Ebay sales anyway.

The weather is mild and it has been sunny, so here i am in the Bourne relaxing and reading a book in the park. Or more precisely,have been reading as it it clouding over and i need to get these items posted.

It's said that you learn something new every day. What did you learn today?

What is (or was) your college major? Do you use it for your career?

What is the weirdest question you’ve ever been asked?

Two bits of classical stuff now.

Charles Ives - The Unanswered Question



New York Philharmonic
Leonard Bernstein

The Unanswered Question is a musical work by American composer Charles Ives. Originally paired with Central Park in the Dark as Two Contemplations in 1908. The Unanswered Question was revived by Ives in 1930--1935. As with many of Ives' works, it was largely unknown until much later in his life, and was not performed until 1946.

Against a background of slow, quiet strings representing "The Silence of the Druids", a solo trumpet poses "The Perennial Question of Existence", to which a woodwind quartet of "Fighting Answerers" tries vainly to provide an answer, growing more frustrated and dissonant until they give up. The three groups of instruments perform in independent tempos and are placed separately on the stage—the strings offstage.

Olivier Messiaen - L'Ascencion



Orchestra Philharmonique de Radio France/Myung-Whun Chung.

Enjoy
