The Voice of God

On the page, it looked… nothing… The beginning simple… almost comic… Just a pulse. Bassoons, basset horns…  like a rusty squeezebox…

And then, suddenly, high above it, an oboe…

A single note, hanging there, unwavering… until a clarinet took it over… sweetened it into a phrase of such delight…

This was no composition by a performing monkey. This was a music I had never heard… filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing…

It seemed to me that I was hearing the voice of God…

      Το κλαρίνο βαρεί το μοιρολόι.... Το μοιρολόι..... Και θαρρείς πως κάθε τι γύρω σου μεταμορφώνεται. Μεταμορφώνεται από μια άχαρη και συνηθισμένη τσιμεντούπολη σε δάσος, σε χωριό, σε πετρόχτιστα σπίτια, σε κάρα, σε αλέτρια, σε αργαλειούς, σε γάστρες. Το μοιρολόι φέρνει θύμησες, από αυτές που μόνο οι παππούδες γνωρίζουν.... Σαν βγαλμένα από μια άλλη εποχή, έρχο […]

Ένα μέρος γεμάτο φαντάσματα, γεμάτο λύπες και χαρές. Αυτό το ορεινό χωριουδάκι όπου γεννήθηκε, μεγάλωσε και πέρασε τα καλύτερα χρόνια της ζωής της. Γιά εμένα ήταν ένα όνειρο θολό που δεν τελειώ […]
