Coming together, coming apart

Symbolism represents the common human experience.
Which is why we find certain style of music as sad and tragic or happy and vivacious. It's like the musician has understood how humans feel when they are sad, and has translated that feeling onto his musical sheet.

The strings that we listen to today evoke nostalgia, sadness, and the music is generally considered 'dark' by many listeners.

You will hear and watch a get-together of voices that are fused yet disparate -- united yet alone. Every instrument (voice) echoes a similar sentiment. The sentiment is well-known. But still, the coming together offers respite.

An oboe full of life

We listen to a most brilliant composition. Like watching a flower bloom, and sending your heart into bliss.

There is so much win in this under 4-minute piece! A continuous expression of joy.
There is so much melody!
And the oboe!

How romantic is that oboe. How indulgent. Over the rhythms of life, overseeing them, and yet with them. Indulging the strings, and playing along with them. And then, briefly, breaking away from it all.
