He's got a backup triangle. Or maybe the other one has a different pitch/key? #symsat

Next week we have Rimskey-Korsakkov and the week after Yuja Wang with a couple of familiar pieces by Gershwin. Both of those run about 50 minutes. #symsat

Avs handled the Stars in game 1. 5-1, but 3 of those were late on. #SymSat

I got to bed at midnight last night and fell asleep instantly. Woke up at 3 and my mind started racing. Tossed and turned until 5, turned on the Crystal Palace/Man. City match, watched that and went and got my burrito. I got an hour nap this aftern noon, but I'm having a hard time focusing right now. #SymSat

First up we have “Bagatelle No. 25 A minor: Für Elise” composed by Ludwig van Beethoven… arranged by multiple award winning (he’s 1 Tony shy of an EGOT) jazzman Jon Batiste (https://youtu.be/-5YRhvH6Uys?si=Vp6as2XTj5asWLl5) from his 2024 album “Beethoven Blues: Batiste Piano Series, Vol. 1” (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nfLE4SQMQUp_Lhwy7_MR7cjFmDj9l5zic&si=d4dkbcKUpnbA1kxs), in which he reimagines compositions by Beethoven with a focus on Black American music inparticular Jazz, gospel and Blues.

This version of Delius’ Florida Suite was recorded in 1995 by the English Northern Philharmonic Orchestra with British conductor David Lloyd Jones (1934-2022) #SymSat

After Delius left Florida, he made his way to Leipzig, which is where he received some formal instruction in music, met Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, and wrote “Florida Suite” in 1887.

Ah, the soothing strains of a NYC FIRE ENGINE HORN and the accompanying AMBULANCE SIREN blend so well with the pastoral rhythms of THE FLORIDA SUITE by Delius #SymSat

I wanted to have a relaxing and pastoral playlist tonight - it’s been an intense week for so many of us Hopefully this will inspire you all to think of lovely long walks and colorful summer flowers #SymSat

Delius had a knack for depicting nature and the beauty of the natural world in his music.
