Arnold Bax’s "The Tale the Pine-Trees Knew" is a revelation.
Bax wrote it to show that the forests of Scotland and Norway are one single spiritual landscape, separated only by water. It’s dark, turbulent, and majestic—sounding like the very earth of the North speaking. It proves geography binds us closer than borders ever could.
#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.

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.
