Happy happy happy! Listening (Again) to Discovering Music; Peter Grimes - I used to live near and visit Aldeburgh with my family and to me the music is the perfect description of the coast there, and the saltmarshes (where my friend Alan fell in the stinky black mud!)  |

The first time I walked along Aldeburgh beach I swear I could hear the Dawn interlude emanating from the air - or perhaps I'm just mad. I've been hooked ever since.
I'm not happy today (see Grumpy Rants) but I'm reading this thread to cheer myself up.

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDFaHAmNe-cYouve probably seen this before, or at least heard it, but it was on another site yesterday and it is very very funny. I think I've got the link right, but it might go to a page where you have to click once more on the Portsmouth Symphonia. No, it's okay - just checked. Susan

See: "IT"Baz P.S. Why should we not be surprised that someone like Gavin Bryars had a hand in all this? Thanks for another laugh. Just read the wikipedia link - I can see I'll have to follow some of those links! In one of Alexander McCall-Smith's books set in Scotland, he refers to the orchestra he created (whose name I can't remember exactly but it's the Un-something..) and I heard him interviewed on Radio 3 a little while ago and he was the founder. I must try searching for that too. |

Happy happy happy!

When I used to live in Manchester I always wanted to go to the Aldeburgh Festival ... but as I was working it never coincided with any free time I had so I promised myself that as soon as I retired I would go..... and I did for 7 consecutive years. I think walking along Aldeburgh beach IS Britten somehow,I could feel his presence there, I could hear the sounds that inspired so many of his works. I loved coming out of the Maltings late at night on a glorious evening and walking over those triangular steps ( passing the hundreds of snails that congregated there ) and seeing the reed beds swaying and catching the light from the concert hall. Wow, I used to stand there for ages just soaking it in after a wonderful concert. <ah bliss emoticon> A |

North Sea again, though rather further up the coast. Amazing light quite often here, yesterday being a case in point: affecting not only the sea, but the grass, the ploughed field and especially the fields of rape, grown for vegetable oil production from the seed.  |

We are so lucky that the earth is so beautiful. There are natural purlple colours and yellow and the white cliff is amazing. What is good it that the earth is able to regenerate itself after we polute it etc.
We are so lucky to see the world, the earth, stars and cosmos, and we are lucky to have each other.

Ron and Martle, wonderful pictures! A little bit of Aldeburgh beach:  The flower is red valerian, which also grows in my garden and always reminds me of Suffolk. And another one, with the Hambling sculpture:  (The legs are not mine.) |
