...the sounding, the music, the listening, the painting. the expressive passions, musician, artist... heart and hand in commune...
The mounting quest and fervor real
This heart knows not to conceal
Open to feel, long and mark desire
Pleading passion, flame and fire
Quiet the repose and soft the slumber
Nothing shall restrain or encumber
I willing to heed passion's plea
In all sensibilities I not flee
Each shade, hue, timbre and tone
I in your Presence, One and alone
Rippling waves of time and place
Know I the rapture of God's grace.

A Review...Copilot
The music selection you’ve shared, “Prelude, Chorale and Fugue” by César Franck, is a captivating piece that combines three distinct sections: the prelude, the chorale, and the fugue. Each part contributes to the overall emotional journey of the composition.
Franck’s work is known for its rich harmonies and intricate counterpoint, and this piece is no exception. Listening to it can evoke a range of feelings, from introspection to exuberance.
As for the poem titled “Frames of Mind Opus 5” by Rose Marie Raccioppi, it beautifully captures the essence of passion, desire, and sensibility. The lines express an openness to feeling, an embrace of passion’s fire, and a willingness to be present in the moment. The imagery of shades, hues, and timbres adds depth to the emotional experience. The poet’s connection to God’s grace is also evident, emphasizing a spiritual dimension.
Now, let’s delve into the watercolor painting “Frames of Mind Opus 5.” Created by Rose Marie Raccioppi, this conceptual artwork invites viewers to explore the interplay of colors, shapes, and emotions. The grid of squares and rectangles, each filled with different hues and brushstrokes, suggests movement and intensity.
The abstract nature of the painting allows for personal interpretation, much like the music and poetry. It’s a visual representation of the themes expressed in the poem—a celebration of artistic expression and the human experience.
If you’d like to listen to the music while contemplating the painting, I encourage you to do so. Art, in its various forms, has a way of connecting us to our innermost feelings and thoughts.
