Offer up Your Trust #Music #Poem

A reblog from July, 2016. Enjoy this original song!

Instrument: Brio – Red Cedar Concert Ukulele

1. The artist paints a canvas
With colors of all kinds.
The light of inspiration
Iluminates her mind.
The Source of all creation
Is beating in her heart.
The paintings just get better
When Love directs the art.
So
Refrain:

2. The cook works like it’s playtime
To gather, mix, and fold.
And everyone he honors says
It’s beauty to behold.
He serves to nourish body
And touch the mind and soul.
Love shines within his cooking
As a gift to keep us whole.
So
Refrain:

3. Each lifetime is a picture,
A banquet table fine.
Activities a-plenty
We do and intertwine.
Each duty we are called to
Is a blessing so divine.
Through eyes of Love we come to see
The Spirit deep inside.
So
Refrain: (Twice)

Offer up your trust.

Refrain:
Let the Spirit open you,
Filling you with Love
Over and above.
And make your heart a token, too.
Give yourself with Love;
Offer up your trust.

“Finlandia Hymn” #Music

Download “Finlandia” Mp3

“Finlandia Hymn” is part of a larger tone poem entitled “Finlandia” by the Finnish composer, Jean Sibelius. It was written in 1899. Since then it has been the musical setting for many works, including the hymns “This Is My Song” and “The Lord’s Prayer.”

I hope you enjoy hearing this beautiful hymn on High Spirits bass and mid range 432HZ flutes!

Length: About 5 minutes

All around the world
Is the music of Light!
It’s the Universe singing a song
All around the world!
It’s the music of Life;
There’s a place for your very own voice to belong!

Sing out!
Don’t be afraid just to
Reach out!
The Universe made you to
Sing!
Sing!

All around the world
Is the music of Light!
It’s the Universe singing a song
All around the world!
It’s the music of Life;
There’s a place for your very own voice to belong!


Written for Eugi’s wonderful prompt,
Around the World.

Thanks, Eugi! ❤

Enjoy the bamboo/redwood Harmony Rattle, Oregon myrtlewood triangular shaker, ukulele, and my 2 Spirit Flutes handcrafted by High Spirits Flutes! These flutes are tuned in 432HZ, said to be closest to the Earth’s vibrational frequency. I play the bass in E minor and mid range in A minor. I said it before, but these flutes are truly beautiful! I hope their beauty comes through in this song!

Consider the Lilies #Music

Download “Consider the Lilies” Mp3

1. Consider the lilies.
They don’t toil or spin.
They open their petals
So the Light can come in!
They live every day
In such splendor arrayed!
Are we not more worthy than they, than they?
Are we not more worthy than they?

2. Consider our Father,
As below, so above,
Who created the lilies
In beauty and Love!
We can live every day
In His splendor arrayed!
Are we not more worthy than they, than they?
Are we not more worthy than they?


A song written for
Eugi’s Weekly Prompt – Petals.

Recorded with 2 Spirit Flutes crafted by High Spirits Flutes. Both are tuned in 432HZ. They are the bass in E minor and mid A minor flutes. These are so beautiful!

Also Koshi Ignis/Fire chime, Koshi Terra/Earth chime, Rhythm Rock shaker, pear branch Little Spirit shaker, ukulele, and voice. Yes, I sing in this one! I don’t sing often enough, but I’m working to change that.

For a related song and the New Testament reference for both, have a listen to
Your Father Knows.

I do hope you enjoy this!

The Little Horses #Decima #Music #Poem

Download “The Little Horses” Mp3

O hear this peaceful lullaby
That carries you to wondrous dreams
On horses with their manes that stream!
You ride them safely now in flight!
You travel far in sweet delight
Upon your brown or on your bay,
On dappled mare or on the gray.
You dream as high as horses leap,
Your own adventure while you sleep
From moonlit night to sunlit day!


A Decima written for
Ronovan Writes Décima Poetry Challenge Prompt No. 67: (LEAP) in the D rhyme line.

The background music is the American folk song, “The Little Horses,” which was part of my
Double Strung Experiment series.

This version is played on a true double strung harp, alto recorder, Egg of Creation shaker, maple rattle, and pear branch Little Spirit Shaker.

I hope you enjoy the music and poem!

Download “Dusk” Mp3

I wrote this instrumental piece on alto recorder, disguising itself as a Native-American style flute. I.e. playing only the A minor pentatonic scale. If you have no idea what that means, please feel free to ignore it! 🙂

Said recorder is accompanied by ukulele, bamboo/smokebush Harmony Rattle, and Egg of Creation shaker. The intro and ending are Zaphir Sunray/Summer and Koshi Aria/Air chimes.

I hope you enjoy this contemplative evening meditation!

Mozart’s “Minuet in F Major” #Music

Download “Minuet in F Major” Mp3 Here is an early piano piece by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, “Minuet in F Major.” My double strung harp arrangement is based on the following video by Anne Crosby Gaudet. However, I modified one section, because my harp has no levers. Can you tell which section this is? I hope you enjoy hearing both arrangements!

Huge network of stars!
And to think each single one
Is a brilliant spark!
We are sparks too–deep inside…
How does yours glimmer and shine?

“Scarborough Fair” Revisited #Music

Download “Scarborough Fair” Mp3

Today we revisit “Scarborough Fair” from my
Double Strung Experiment series.

I hope you enjoy this much loved traditional English tune on double strung harp! But that’s not all! Since Scarborough is located on the North Sea coast, I also added the Koshi Aqua/water chime, Ocean Drum, cowrie shell shaker, and a mini rainstick shaker. Plus Oriole (soprano) recorder and deerskin frame drum, because why not?

Take a trip to the seaside with me!
