HAUSER - "Live in Zagreb" FULL Classical Concert...

Today's STORM has come to pass. All is laden with the sweetness of the summer rain, and a deep sigh is brought, for we choose to listen... and so it is... PRAISE to HAUSER... His expressive passion, music he plays from heart and holds tenderly within soul. There is a special splendor that he makes known, and blessed we become onto our SELF. 

The grace of the violins
The spirit of the voices that sing 
An orchestration that touches all sensibilities 
And so we rejoice
The MUSE in gifts of divinity and light 
Beholden be our prayer.

Keys and Strings

Keys and strings
The splendor of sound
Heart and spirit ever to resound
Blessed be the muse, the music sublime
Creation's call known in sounding divine
Heard be the winds and the rolling waves of sea
Tender the touch, deep passion in mounting plea
Bloom and petals alight in frivolity play
To the awakened reverie I do pray
Lilting sentiments resonant and real
The muse, the music, the soul to reveal.

In Tribute to Nathaniel Ayers, The Soloist

Calling, calling is his prayer
The strings of his soul dispel despair
The music within is ever heard
Known to his heart is God's word
Confusion and chaos in great abound
Within his world a purpose found
The music, the cello, his being, his glory
And told is the Soloist story
Beethoven to fill his chambers of pain
'Tis the music and God to call his name
Colors in resounding rapture and light
His soaring soul these moments in flight
From the shackles of judgment he does flee
In sonorous ascension his spirit known free.
