Mother's Day
Along with cherishing and protecting,
A mother offers constancy come what may,
For nothing can destroy it or take her love away...
It’s well beyond defining and defies all explanation,
As it well remains a secret, like the mystic of creation...
A towering of a miracle, one does not understand,
It’s evidence of BIG SPIRIT’S loving, guiding HAND...JM

Reception follows
Setting New Year Sights Almighty Highly - HAPPY 2020
“New Years Eve is not about the
coming Year,
It’s about enjoying exalted
cheer,
And challenges us to picture
triumph
As the only preferential
penchant,
And, while setting New Year sights almighty ‘highly’,
And keeping mind-sets from the
high and mighty,
We embrace the yearly, personal
tests
With ever passion and zest for
best!!” JM ‘19
The Holy Three Kings - HAPPY HOLIDAYS
The Holy Three Kings from Eastern Land,
They questioned in every city:
“Where is the way to Bethlehem,
Tell us you people in mercy?”
The youthful and aged, they answered not,
The kings though knew their duty.
They followed east a wonderful star,
Which twinkled above them in beauty.
The star stood still over Joseph’s house,
Their path to the threshold bringing.
The oxen bellowed, the Christ Child bawled,
The three kings fell into singing! JM, '19

The Art of Renata Tebaldi in Verdi
& Verismo - May 16 - 11 am
Renata Tebaldi was
an Italian soprano, who has been said to have possessed one of the
most beautiful voices of the 20th century. Conductor Arturo Toscanini called
her "voce d'angelo" (Voice of an Angel). Tebaldi was
trained and concentrated on roles of the late Verdi and
Verismo eras, where only a minimal use of florid technique belonged to her
repertoire.
The Art of Joan Sutherland in Bel
Canto - May 23 - 11 am
Dame Joan Sutherland was an Australian
dramatic coloratura soprano noted for her contribution to the renaissance of
the bel canto repertoire
from the late 1950s through to the 1980s. She possessed a voice of great
facility and power, combining extraordinary agility and a tremendous upper
register. Her colleague Luciano Pavarotti once
called Sutherland the "Voice of the Century".

Wondrous Christmas Grace
“Softly floating o’er the Lands like a greeting
from the stars, one feels the bond of joyous love gently throughout the world.
Every heart with strong desire is happy to be an
offering,
as the fest of love and Christmas nears, o so
very, very softly.
And the heaven’s glow is bursting forth with a
thousand flickering stars, as the Christmas fest of enchanted love soars from
the distant shores.
And chiming from the heavens is a Christmas song
of the Holy Night, while brightly shining out of every window are wonders of a
Christmas light.
And a shimmering glow is painted on every person’s
face, showing all the joyous pleasures of this wondrous Christmas Grace.”

Tribute - Mezzo Soprano Elena Obraztsova
Through my various work projects with Maestro
Francesco Siciliani-former Head of Italian Radio & Television, the Festivale di Sacra Umbra in Perugia, and also Milan’s opera house, Teatro alla Scala-I
remember a comment that Mo. Siciliani’emphatically made to me that I and Mezzo Soprano Elena
Obraztsova should meet and sing Verdi together.
I did meet Elena at some point later, and, true to Siciliani’s prediction, we hit it off like
two compatible souls. She was her own person, artist and singer, and she set her
own precedent. This, God knows, is surely my devout credo as well! Happily, life has a way of serving us people
who
are harmonious in goal orientation and zest, Maestro Siciliani no exception, and these people
gratefully
coax our spirits to mambo and tango! And so it was with Elena Obraztsova, who has left an indelible thumbprint on all she pursued and touched through the arts. She was a great value to the world in her lifetime, personally and artistically, and will continue to thrive in memory
Happy & Festive New 2015
Keep love in your heart,
Your eyes on a star,
Your feet on the ground,
Your designs for best poised with zest abound!
Happiest & Most Festive New Years Eve & Year 2015!
