Your challenge today is to choose a piece of instrumental music (no songs, but I am happy for you to choose a piece of jazz or instrumental rock if you don’t like classical music) that speaks to you, and write a poem either about the piece, including information about its composer and content, or whatever it conjures in your head. If possible, add a link to the piece of music.
lovely strings convey
the sweetness of a passion
treading lightly here
never loud exclamations
only serene affection

I love your choice (and echo Kim’s comment too) of music Cheryl, and I love the sense of serene affection.

So nice to hear this iconic piece on a guitar, after listening to the piano version. I love the words it inspired you to write, it feels like a perfect description of the composition, leaving enough room for the reader to be intrigued and experience it for themselves.

Thrilled that you gifted us Clair de Lune on a stringed instrument. How beautiful. The poetry is perfect accompaniment. Huge sighs ~~~~~

Clair de lune played on the strings exceptionally nice. Good choice for Debussy. Nice poem too.🙂✌🏼🫶🏼

The guitar version does “tread lightly,” more lightly than the piano and with, as you say so beautifully, “serene affection.”

I agree with Kim, the guitar version has a different feel than the original piano version. Lovely.

I like that you chose the guitar version over the piano version, Cheryl. It’s beautiful and has such a different feel to it: ‘lovely strings convey the sweetness of a passion’.
