#AlsoSprachZarathustra, the epic #TonePoem by #RichardStrauss, was first performed in 1896 on #ThisDayInHistory. The piece was inspired by a #FriedrichNietzsche book of the same title, and its opening grew in fame after use in #StanleyKubrick's film 2001.

KMFA just played this piece, but It thought I would post it as I think it is Sibelius at his best in a digestible chunk.
Sibelius is like Kpop in attracting both passionate devotion on the one hand and antipathy and contempt on the other. I'm a devotee of both!

OK FINE: Here's the link to that #shortfilm, "Reticence", by my friend Robert Shults. He asked me to write a #tinnitus "#tonepoem" as an audio treatment.
He approached me because of a song he heard from my music project Glass Door. He actually paid me Hollywood scale rates for music composition, because some film festivals care about that sort of thing. I made a few bucks, and it was fun! Because of this, I have an IMDB credit.

The word is Old
#NatalieMacMaster “In My Hands” from In My Hands, 1999
Lyrics:
Through your voice I hear your stories
And in these hands they become my own
And the old times and old memories
Call to life beneath my bow
Natalie MacMaster had a thriving performing and recording career of traditional #Celtic #fiddling when she dropped this seemingly incongruous #TripHop flavored, #turntablist-tinged #TonePoem onto her sixth album,in fact choosing it to open the album and to provide its title. But it only takes a moment to realize that this makes perfect lyrical sense; it’s a love song…to her fiddle (and under a minute for the beloved’s answer on the track).
Why did this countrified niche-star take such a turn in style - an attempt to reach a younger, wider audience? Perhaps she saw opportunity after cousin and fellow #CapeBreton fiddler #AshleyMacIsaac's "Sleepy Maggie" hit modern radio. But turn she did, making the old new.
