Words & Music Vignettes 1 Violin strings tug at the heart's pathos and pain— Bereaved mother asked the Buddha to revive her child and learned that life is suffering. 2 Bongo drums in a jazz café— My friend and I dance the tango— promenade, corté, grapevine weave, spin turn with dip to a tango close. 3 She recalls her first love aboard the cruise ship & Sugarloaf Mountain. She tells him "Why ask for the Moon when we have the stars." 4 In the dance hall jazz music blasts from the rattle and drums as singers croon in Spanish— it's the merengue and we all dance like drunken sailors. 5 In a luxurious Viennese home a crowd has gathered to hear this wild-hair composer from Bonn who plays his Moonlight Sonata. 6 Elderly Bulgarian women chanting in a circle dance on the hillside while ghost clouds rush above them— the village ancestors have returned. — Peter Y. Chou Los Altos Hills, 7-13-2008 Al Young Workshop: "Words & Music: Sparking Creativity" (30-minutes writing exercise to six different CD music played) |
