Silent Noon

Hey!
Okay, so this is the post about the musical part of my life :) In fact my URL 'Silent Noon' is named after one of my favourite songs written by Ralph Vaughan Williams, who is also my favourite composer :) For anyone who sings, perhaps more classically, I would definately recommend Silent Noon, it is beautiful!

I thought I would jam these three into one picture because they're just so long! Introducing my Clarinet, Flute and Oboe (from back to front for those who arn't sure). I play the Clarinet purel for pleasure and is a family instrument. My Flute is the one I play at an advanced level in which I am Grade 8 standard. His name is Ronson because he reminded me of when Mark Ronson had silver hair so the name stuck :) I got the beauiful Oboe as an 18th birthday present and is one of my most pirzed possessions along with Ronson. It doesn't have a name yet but the name hasn't come to me yet - I haven't had the definitive feeling! But I have been getting feelings of an English Rose, so I thinking she's a girl. I'm not sure. If I come up with a name, I'll let you know!

This is my stepdad's student Viola and it is beautiful (a Viola for those who don't know is slightly larger than a violin and plays at a lower pitch). I need to get it re-stringed because they are quite loose but the sound produced by a Viola, if it is played properly, is so subtlely pure - it doesn't scream 'HEY I'M A SOLO' and that's what I like about it :) noble and beautiful! Haha, sorry I'm getting emotional!

Another instrument I play quite proficiently is the piano which is downstairs. I would take post a picture but its quite late! I love the piano. It's the one instrument that when I play, I can't stop. When I practise my Flute, I regularly get annoyed and stop. It's not his fault, I just can't play! That never really happens playing the piano. Anyone who plays the piano, the La Fille aux Cheveux de Lin from Prelude no 8 Book 1 by Debussy is a fairly easy piece, but when it's played well, the harmonies and melodies just fill you up and send you away from the horrible world!

I might start a Desert Island Disc blog every week! Yeah!! Omg, I'm gonna do it. Every week I'll post about a CD or track and write about it. I just really want to express my love for for music, particuarly orchestral music because I really want people to share it with me, and not dismiss it like usual people (my brother) do.

Anyway, thankyou for looking at the musical side of me! There'll be more to post about me I'm sure soon enough. I have a few items of clothing I should post to show who I am. :)

Night night everyone! :)
