The Drop That Contained The Sea


Special little moments just happen.
They often catch you unawares.
That sneak under your radar, 
When you are least expecting them.
And they can brighten you heart, when you so need it.

This morning had such a moment.
The sun shining, Roger acting as co pilot his nose in the wind, we drove the seventeen miles up to the vets for his pre op assessment along wide country roads of bright spring green. 
I had bought the CD of Christopher Tin’s piece The Drop That Contained The Sea which is a collection of commissioned works for chorus and orchestra centred about water in all of its forms.
I have enjoyed one of its pieces Waloyo Yamoni before, but have never listened to the entire piece before.

Each of the ten pieces is sung in a different language, and they explore different vocal traditions so diverse it’s breathtaking. African languages Xhosa and Lango are featured alongside Bulgarian, old Norse, Sanskrit, Ancient Greek, Mongolian and Portuguese.
And this morning we listened to it for the first time




Beautiful .
It’s good to be alive today.
