Each note you hear makes up part of the song you sing,
Resonance builds the structure, while dissonance shapes the tone.
No matter the noise you make, music is in everything
Whether you are part of the chorus or singing on your own.

-Clarence Holm

 

*Stuart Glazer had the unfortunate assignment of trying to teach me music theory in college. While my desire was deep, my talent unfortunately wasn’t, but I am forever grateful that while he was unable to draw blood from a deaf turnip, he did manage to give me an appreciation of the harmony around me.
I feel privileged to be able to share his artwork with you in this blog.

A Summer Song

I heard a song
A simple melody
That held my thoughts today.

Like a breeze
It tumbled along
In perfect harmony.

When it soared
Through blue skies
The clouds drifted along.

And I dreamed
Of yesterday
With no plans in the way

With each verse
Wondrous sights
Changed my course and will

As I aged
The songs refrain
Grew sweeter with each movement

And my heart
Sang along
Till time went on it’s way
