Music video - The arrival of the Queen of Sheba - George Frederick Handel

I like it.

Music video - Gretchen at the Spinning Wheel ("Gretchen am Spinnrade" in German) - Sung by Barbara Bonney, music by Franz Schubert, and lyrics from text in Goethe's Faust

Goethe corresponds to “歌德” in Chinese.

Music video - Querer - composed by René Dupéré

Music video - Alexander Borodin - Prince Igor - Polovtsian Dances

About the author (composer) Alexander Borodin:
He's a Russian. His main vocation was a professor of Chemistry at the Academy of Medicine in Russia. "Between 1859 and 1862 Borodin held a postdoctorate in (University of) Heidelberg", which is a world renowned university in Germany. Borodin "suffered poor health, having overcome cholera and several minor heart attacks. He died suddenly during a ball at the Academy, and was interred in Tikhvin Cemetery at the Alexander Nevsky Monastery, in Saint Petersburg." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Borodin )

Video - Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1, by Elgar

Music video - Andre Rieu - La vie est belle

Whatever the criticism has been for André Rieu, a popular Dutch violinist (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Rieu#Reception), it must be lauded that he performs his music with class.

Music video - Brahms - Hungarian Dance No.1

Music video - Liu Yang River - Composer: Wang Jian-zhong

Music video - Narciso Yepes - Concierto de Aranjuez (by Joaquín Rodrigo) (2)

The death of a classic open-hearted gentleman & "Pavane" of Gabriel Fauré

The death of a classic open-hearted gentleman


Misbelief in feast friends
Misplacement of the money
Misfit in the mercenary society
Mishaps guaranteed by the ungrateful





(Inspired by the tragedy of "Timon of Athens", this plain poem of mine, is plainly in stark contrast to the sublime music unrolled in the videos assimilated in this blog post. Just the same, it serves as one little experiment for me.)
