In The Orchestra

Posted on May 9, 2018 by Joanna M. Weston

Concerts with choir and orchestra are a joy. My husband and one son
sing in choirs, sharing the joy with enthusiasm. I try to get to

IN THE ORCHESTRA

the violinist lifts her bow
eyes intent on the manuscript                                 
and begins an adagio
in harmony

the music brings my dreams to light
airy as a clear summer day
when wind lifts sparrows into flight
in harmony

the double bass comes in deep  slow
the clarinet high and falling
underscored by the warm cello
in harmony
