Things Above
Colossians 3:2 says, “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things,” or, as the NET puts it, “Keep thinking about things above, not things on the earth.” To set one’s mind on something is to choose to think about it, influencing one’s goals and guiding one’s course of action. The first part of the chapter is worth quoting in full to give the proper context:
“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
“Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
“Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him” (Colossians 3:1–17).
Colossians was written by the apostle Paul to the church in the city of Colossae. The culture of Colossae was thoroughly pagan and immoral, as it was in most of the Roman world—and as it is in much of the world today. The Christians in Colossae, however, could no longer take their cues from the world around them. They had to take direction from “above.” Although physically in the world, they were not to believe the same things that the culture around them did. They were not to behave according to the standards of the culture around them. That would be taking their cues from “below.”
Paul describes the “below” culture in a number of words and concepts: anger, rage, malice, slander, filthy language, lying. The “above” culture, in contrast, is characterized by compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, forgiveness, peace, singing, worship, and gratitude.
How are we to cultivate the values that are from above while living below? It takes a concentrated effort. We must “set our minds” to it. We are inundated with messages that promote the “below” behavior. If we listen to the radio, overhear conversations at work, read billboards, watch the news, read the newspaper, flip through a magazine at the doctor’s office, watch TV programs or movies, etc., we will be constantly directed to embrace values that are clearly from below. Even if the messages we receive are not overtly immoral, the perspective is one that excludes God and prioritizes things as though life on earth is all that matters—our happiness and fulfillment (the “right” to be happy) are top priority. If we want to be directed “from above,” we must make an effort to counteract the messages that are omnipresent in our culture. To set our minds on things above, we must read and meditate on Scripture, attend church, listen to uplifting music, and read things that turn our hearts toward God. This is a recurring theme in Scripture:
Romans 12:2: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
Matthew 6:19–20, 33: “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven. . . . Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
1 Timothy 6:17: “Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.”
Following his contrast of things below and things above in Colossians 3, Paul goes on to give a list of standards for Christian behavior that make absolutely no sense in today’s culture. Everything about the individualist, self-centered priorities that have high value today run counter to the type of restraint and sacrifice that Paul enjoins in verses 18–22:
“Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged. Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.”
The only way that a person can live according to the above dictates is if he or she is taking directions from somewhere other than the secular culture. Thinking on “things above” (the truths of God’s Word) not only guides us in what we should do but gives the reasons we should do it (grace, our position in Christ, our eternal reward, etc.). As we believe the truth “from above” more than the lies “from below,” we will start to act like creatures born from above, who have been raised with Christ (Colossians 3:1) and seated with Him at the right hand of the Father (Ephesians 2:6).
A beautiful and timely reminder.
Catturd: “What day does the midterm variant start?”
The announcement (a week or so ago) of the first man in a Colorado hospital diagnosed with the H5N1 avian jump to human coupled with news reports of the killing of thousands of chickens and turkeys supposedly infected and Wah-La! we have the next midterm variant.
Sometime after Labor Day.
2000 Mules was amazing. It did ignite feelings of impotent rage, but True the Vote is still on the case. Many of the questions people asked afterward were about what we can do. Check https://www.truethevote.org for ideas. One thing they are launching is the IV3 project, which is a grassroots effort to clean up voter rolls: https://www.iv3.us
Some might look askance because there are three vertical lines in the logo, but I doubt there’s anything nefarious about it.
We have to keep the pressure on to reverse the voting abnormalities that have been allowed and walk them back. We have to spread the word, share this film, and put pressure on legislators to take action. We have to let them know that we know and that we are not going to let the issue rest.
The mules got their ballots and funding from nonprofit organizations, and many of the mules would go to a headquarters to get their ballots. One attendee at the screening wanted the names of all those nonprofits and anyone else involved to be published. I think Gregg Phillips said that will happen. If I understood correctly, I think he said every bit of data they collected will be made public — and that is petabytes of data.
The problem with making things public, is that they aren’t really “public” until the MSM covers them. For a big slice of the population, they will never see it. Maybe we need to start a tsunami of lawfare across the country.
Yes, making it public is on us.
We told everyone we know about it and not one of them was aware of it showing last night,
Twitter is definitely seeing comments atm.
But yes, it’s on we patriots to get the word out. God helps those who help themselves!

“Trump was at the Kentucky derby today. Crowd was definitely #UltraMAGA”
Today’s Derby. So many horses in the race! There was a great ending. If you don’t want to watch it all, start about halfway through.
Not mules. Not 2000 of ’em.
Not at all. There was a critical move at about 1:52.
***Spoiler Alert***
The winning horse, Rich Strike, was in 20th post position, wearing the number 21. You can see him move all the way across the track to get nearer to the inside. The horse seems lost in the pack until the final stretch. At about 1:50 or so, the horse is making its way along the inside rail but another horse is in his way, and he has to go around that horse. And with all those obstacles, he still came from behind to win the race. An amazing job by horse and jockey alike. The odds for Rich Strike were 80-1, the second-longest shot to win the Kentucky Derby.
NBC Sports: The overhead view makes Rich Strike’s comeback for the upset @KentuckyDerby win look even more incredible.”
OMG, that is AMAZING!!! CLASSIC!
Rich Strike was not supposed to run but got a slot at the last minute when another horse scratched. It’s one of those races you can watch over and over — as you say, classic!
Thank you for sharing these wonderful videos. 😍
YW! I was amazed at what I was finding out about the race. It is one that people will talk about for a long time.
Great videos. Overhead view was amazing to watch.
Every time I watch or listen to a horse race, I get tears in my eyes. It is the inspiration of determined horses and riders striving to excel.
A good horse is a beautiful thing. I don’t ride, not since I was young, but I love them.
Yes, I find them inspiring too. 🐎
What is Don Juniors girlfriend doing ? How tacky 😱
You mean the hat? That’s a Derby thing. Hers is tame.

Not that I love the theatrics and dress up for the day 🙂
No Trump was greeting people and it was on a big screen she pushed her way next to him and the person he was speaking too.
It is on the video where people cheered for Trump.
Oh, I get it. I’ll watch again.

Wow, I never knew one could do this. Great video, thanks Dora and happy Mother’s Day to you too!
Yours Truly assumes that when visible roots are detected, the cuttings are transplanted to pots with soil and additives. And if it’s winter, the pots are kept inside, kept watered, etc., until spring arrives. Does that sound reasonable?

These people should never hold another government job again.

Arrest Them All!
It is actually a felony to picket in front of the home of a judge:
FBI and Democrat Leaders Ignore Leftist Hooligans Protesting Outside Homes of Conservative SCOTUS Justices — A Criminal Act with Up to 1 Year in Prison (thegatewaypundit.com)
This whole “leak” debacle may actually rid us not only of federal abortion law, but the notion that “anyone” can get pregnant and bear children.
Almost any amount of protest around Justices homes would be worth that.
And I do think these people need to go to prison.
I saw something this morning that claims the “leak” was a ploy to justify military protection for the justices. They’ve got a bigger bomb coming.
If it’s bigger than Roe v. Wade, I can’t even IMAGINE what that would be.
The Fraudulent Election of 2020 would be about the right size.
Too bad there is no case for them to rule on.
Too bad courts denied cases because of, no standing, (before the election) no one was harmed, (after the election) should have filed before the election.
Courts ARE corrupt.
I suppose we’ll get lucky, finding a judge interested in Justice.
^^This^^
Yes… ol’ brain trying to recall…
Something about Justice Thomas bringing it!
Even that would not be as big as Roe, to me.
Illegal…hmmm it appears that the SCOTUS members who are being protested aren’t calling for arrests or dispersal so…theater again.
IF I was one of the antifa goons..my position would be as far away from the street as possible. It’s only a matter of time before a MKUltra’d patsy will mow some down…in the name of MAGA.
Immoral filth, the lot of ’em. 😡
Their chants of “You don’t care if people die” while protesting FOR abortion is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Hard to fathom it.

Well, isn’t it ** interesting ** that the SIX MONTH reduced period for the U.S. to withdraw from the WHO takeover JUST HAPPENS to “coincide” with the UPCOMING ELECTIONS in the U.S. Clearly, “President Biden’s” handlers do NOT want a conservative Congress to try and overturn the WHO takeover.

Great opportunity to stand up some local citizen grand juries… let the prosecutions begin!
Amen. This QAnon bullshit about arrests is bullshit. The Bidenazi military was squarely behind the steal, right along with the RINOs. Patriots are too weak by themselves. The only arrests will be by We The People, from the ground up.
Hold your horses, there, boss. If what I saw this morning is accurate, the correction is coming sooner than you might think, and from a place few here will accept until it really happens.
Well, so long as it is legal, I’ll accept the “correction”. Seriously. Wondering, is there a timeline forecast for the correct? Something more finite than, sooner than you might think. Tangible? Link(s)?
Just not signing on for the movie, script, alternate president in charge, endless “hopia” type chatter that to this day, has NOT delivered.
Are there good things happening? Sure. Nothing has reversed or corrected the stolen election. Precious LITTLE to ensure the next election is NOT stolen.
But I am all ears, for good news.
I’m in “show me” mode! 😀
And then that will be meet with “Domestic Terrorist” tried this or that by the DS and the military will step in to prevent it.

In this Hybrid info war we are engaged in, they will not be able to manipulate the view count.. because it comes from OUR site,..IOW..we know the ‘real’ count.
It will then become be a **WE KNOW YOU KNOW that WE KNOW, YOU KNOW** situation. .. simply a info numbers game. They cannot deny the view count !
Make it shatter all records, so it stands alone as a record breaker.

Happy Mother’s Day to all our blessed mothers on here today.
From Mamaw – for those who are missing their moms today.
Our Mother
Somewhere, along our journey,
Just as the sun went down,
She wandered far away from us,
Her like, we’ve never found.
Though we tried hard to keep in sight
Somewhere, along the way,
She gently slipped away from us,
And still, she’s gone today.
And yet, if we will only follow
In her footsteps, true,
I know that we shall one day find
When life begins, anew.
That Mother will be waiting,
If by her precepts, we are led,
We’ll find our dear sweet Mother
Got just a few short steps ahead.
If your mom is still living, spend some time with her today and everyday you can.
I miss the woman who raised me so much. She wasn’t my mother, but she was my Mom.
Thanks for everything, Nanny. Can’t wait to see you again.
And thank YOU, TB, for sharing your Mamaw with us.
Always – Aubergine. You inspired me to bring her here. Glad you had a Mom and she mattered so much in your life. The reunion awaits.
🙂
She did a good job 🙂 Special Nanny raised a special woman 🙂
She would be glad you think so! 🙂
I am sure she would if she saw you how you turned out 🙂 You are a very good person 🙂
She watches me every day.
When I was about 13, I painted a portrait of her. It’s actually a good likeness, but in a very untrained, “folk art” style. When my parents cleaned out their attic to move, they found it and sent it to me. It hangs on my kitchen wall. I talk to her while I cook. 🙂
I love folk art paintings. 🙂 What a wonderful gift
that it was send back to you 🙂
Yes talking helps specially to people we love.
And thank you, singing, for thinking I am a good person. I try hard to be. Sometimes I win, sometimes I fail.
My instinct says to win more than failing 🙂
🙂
🙂

Verse of the Day for Sunday, May 8, 2022
✟
“I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.”
Psalms 118:17 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
BE MY VOICE
BABY LIVES MATTER
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.
Happy Mother’s Day, dutchess! Thank you for bringing us prayers and reminders of how precious all our babies: born and preborn are.

Both of those are great.
Just a quick note to all.
Cyberattacks doubled after release of yesterday’s post linking WEF to the Biden Center money laundering operation via Ambassador Gutmann, and Big Sis / DHS to the Twitter shutdown of Patrick Howley.
I have increased countermeasures accordingly.
If anybody gets locked out, you can always use PRIVATE-MESSAGE-TO-WOLF (using underscores instead of hyphens) to contact me, and I’ll get you in. Also post on the U Tree if that seems easier.
Over the target!
Exactly what I’m thinking.They were declining – and immediately broke prior levels.
Its interesting always that despite a small number of posts you generate that kind of response. Very pertinent info!
Free people speculating in the right direction is something the Mayorkas-level commies really, really want to control. And they use reflexive, unthinking, go-alonger mentalities like Big Sis to do it.
If it’s a mutant adenovirus causing hepatitis in children, when you hit them with that, look out!
If that is true, and parents find out, it will get real very fast.
People who took the J&J shot (I know a few) will be instant PARIAHS, along the lines of lepers in the Middle Ages.
This tech had risks that were massively overlooked. I think it’s 100% intentional. I think “progressive capitalism” and “progressive finance”, under the cover of the”progressive socialism” they create, fund and control (synthesis = progressive globalism), want a kind of “Blade Runner” technological free-for-all future. That is then how they control and modify humanity. That is how boardroom snakes took over bioethics and turned it on its head.
This is why they control elections. They take no chances.
I think God will have the final word, and they won’t like what He has to say. IMHO.
Amen!

Coronavirus: Israeli Scientists Warn of Delta Comeback in Summer

Now you know why they wandered for 40 years before God brought them to the land He promised them …
It is truly amazing what they “believe”. In a few respects it proves Darwin’s explanation of natural selection theory. They are believing themselves into slavery and potential extinction.

Interesting take on devolving abortion to the states.
Short version — what if states that have more traditional views get a commercial advantage?

This is why the Demoncrats have to lie and deceive, because when people find out what they are doing, they are ousted and sidelined.
GOOD!
I hope its an ever increasing steamroll.
This was a strange election. Election day was Saturday. Voter turn out appeared extremely low, less than 1.3 million turn out out of 17 million registered voters / 21 million eligible voters. Main reason to vote was Propositions on Property Tax (Texas gets vast bulk of taxes from property tax.) Both Props passed in the 85% range. Prop 1- 65 and older protected from future increases (school only, but that is the bulk of anyone’s tax. Only takes on in family to qualify the property for the freeze) Prop 2 a modest give back by raising the Homestead tax exemption on school tax from 25,000 to 40,000.
What I noticed most strange is that every politician in Texas runs on lowering property taxes, yet I heard no politician voices urging turn out for this election. Okay, maybe silence is golden, but still seems strange. Off date, confusing write up for props, and silent politicians has me wondering.
Sounds like CA “republican ” strategy. Careful there!
WIN !
LMAO!!!
She’s nukin futz … sigh 😞🤚😣 …
that’s the truth !
😉👍❤️🌺
This woman is an absolute fucking idiot.
Sorry for the language, but she is, without doubt. Her delusions have delusions.
I always think when obummer endorsed her out of nowhere how much of an idiot she was then. Its not like shes changed, she just now part of the permanent grifter club. Just like aoc.
Happy Mothers Day to all women
Happy Mother Day to women who are cat owners and dog owners.
Our pet kids never grow up and leave home . We are moms to them a life time 🙂
Amen, nice put singing 🎶 … Happy Mother’s Day to you and God bless you 🙂🌹❤️

Never mess with babushka wearing creatures/humans great and small
… 😮 … here’s a great babushka woman ..
This one is better ..
😂
Ohhhhhh what a sharp looking dog 😍
Are they your pets-children ? 🙂
Oh no, … 😔 … I love dogs but dh doesn’t care for them. On my daily walks I get to interact with other walkers and their dogs, I love it.
Just for fun I’d like to own a Maine coon cat and a Yorkshire terrier, the difference in size would be amusing but maybe not so much for the large cat and small dog, lol 😜❤️
My Woodford plays chase with my Russian blue cat. She is big and would bead the crap out of him if he ever did catch her. Of course he does not really try he has the puppy scratches on his nose she inflicted on him. They are like the road runner 🙂
Happy Mothers day to you ! Blessings to you 😀
Love the cat sooooo cute 😍
😍🤚❤️
Thank you 🙂
… ⬇️ ..
and to you SingingSoul… hope your day was wonderful 😉
Yes it was. We spend 4 days in Pleasant Hill KY Shaker village. Was so nice to see so many familiar faces who survived covid. Most older non in Hospitals.
Met people from California to New England and Minnesota all were happy no mask .
They all behaved like little kids let out into the playground.
The people of this country are well and are survivors. People want to see smiles they want to see the whole faces.
The get away was good for the soul.
The one funny event was there is a white Turkey who walks with groups of people. He loves to be petted . They cannot keep him in his pen. He loves people. He will never find his way onto a Thanksgiving table 🙂 I hear he has been adopted by one of the gardeners and will go home with her to live the rest of his life as her pet.
oh such a lovely story about the turkey! Yes, people are happy to be free of the masks…
🙂
Comment from MoA… has anyone seen anything about this in MSM?
———————————-
One wonders why Biden sent his wife to Ukraine, I doubt it was to talk about hair styles and haute couture.
“US first lady Jill Biden has paid an unannounced visit to Ukraine as part of her trip to Europe, according to a pool report.
Her motorcade crossed the Slovak-Ukrainian border at 14:41 Slovak time (15:41 Moscow time) on Sunday. During her slightly less than two-hour stay in Ukraine, she met with Ukraine’s first lady Elena Zelenskaya, who has not been seen in public since the beginning of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine on February 24.
The two first ladies had a closed-door meeting, which lasted for about one hour. After that, Jill Biden returned back to Slovakia.”
MSM, no, But I have seen other references to it.

Oh! there once was a bag-man, camped out in the White House,
Under the shade of a Coolabah tree;
And she sang as she looked at her schemes a-boiling,
“Who’ll come a-schmoozing Zelenskyy with me?”
Who’ll come a-schmoozing Zelenskyy, my ‘partners’,
Who’ll come a-schmoozing Zelenskyy with me?
Schmoozing Zelenskyy and carrying a money-bag —
Who’ll come a-schmoozing Zelenskyy with me?
One source says the whole lot of them are trying to get asylum in Ukraine, which is being dismantled.
It’s Mother’s Day .. 🌸‼️🌸 … I’m a Mum, and there are many Mum’s here … let’s have a little giggle water 💦 😜

I have a sheet of those calvin and hobbes stamps. My son has similar traits….
Well that’s very cool 😎 .. bet he’s adorable 🥰
Hi Gil00, I though you might find this interesting as a music lesson/study for your son (and cool that he likes Calvin and Hobbes)…
For those who have lost hope that the current generation are interested in furthering and bettering our culture, the following concert by Polish youth orchestra should convince you otherwise. Their performance of Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Sheherzade” is excellent, indeed at some points specatular, and the camera work is better than most videos/concerts/DVDs/etc. that I’ve ever seen.
Obviously the camera folks had a cue sheet developed in “concert” with the conductor, or someone intimately familar with the score. The interplay between the different sections, and the movement of the theme between different soloists/sections is followed almost without fail… A GREAT way of showing and teaching how composers develop the themes and motifs of their compositions…
(A good example of this is the interplay of the upper and lower brass at 14:05ff in particulat 14:46-15:05 … other “duke-em-outs” follow…)….
The shots of the young girl on the Bassoon show not only the articulation but the movement of the throat muscles in developing and articulating the tones, as do the shots of the oboist and upper winds.
The clarinetist (must be jazzer 😉 ) looks as if he studied with the clarinetist in this recording of the Rachmaninov Piano Concerto #2 with Helene Grimaud (see below).. The gestures are almost identical. The playing is also quite good.
A very good example of “program music” which attempts to show a tone picture of actual events (e.g. Sinbad’s Ship on the waves)…
Reassuring and comforting to see that great music is still being studied, fostered, and played….
Another interesting thing is watching it more than once is valuable, as there is always something new to see or notice…
Here’s the Piano Concerto – if I don’t have it queued up correctly, the section I was speaking of starts at 13:07 .
Rachmaninoff was one of the best at long, overarching, sustained melody lines, be they only one or a few voices, or many, as in his “Vespers” or “All-Night Vigil” (some of us USC’lers performed in St. Sophia’s services of this conducted by Alex Ruggieri in the early 1970s).
One particularly beautiful example/number of this is this one (Hail Mary), though there are many out there now (very moving piece). The entire Vigil is a wonderful piece of music, and tbere might be recordings out your way of St. Sophia’s performance. Alex was head of the L.A. Bach Festival for a number of years, not sure if he still is. One of the top experts in Russian sacred and folk music in the world…
Stupid me, I forgot the most important video…
Here’s Sheherezade, by the Polish Youth Orchestra…. WONDERFUL performance, and INCREDIBLE camera work, following the sections and the soloists…
And the camera work shows the pizzicato technique of the various string instruments (different between them ) during the clarinet solo…
Wow.
Even Arte doesn’t do it this well (and they did Helene Grimaud’s performance) (though it looks like the vid didn’t credit it….)…..
(vids like that make the TV tax worth paying, I have to say…)
Whoa, thx for that. I found out our library loans instruments. Itll keep him busy over summer if they are available. Even just to try.
Wow!
String instruments start out sounding (admittedly) the worst, but after a while, everything evens out, and to reach artist level, it takes about the same amount of time.
Except for violas.
They never do 😆
(OK, sorry… I just like to needle violists…)…
e.g. “How do you get a violilst to do a tremolo?”
“Write “solo” above the part”… 😀
Q: What do a violist’s fingers and lightning have in common?
A: They never strike the same place twice…
Ahh, but note that the famous theme in the piano concerto “Full Moon and Empty Arms” is first introduced by the violas…
Not sure if Rachmaninov was, erm, saying something there or not 😆
And a classic exposition of the various instruments and personalities in the orchestra is Garrison Keillor’s “The Young Lutheran’s Guide To The Orchestra”, a play on Benjamin Britten’s “The Young Person’s Guide To The Orchestra”, a wonderful tour through the different instruments and families thereof. Here’s a site that has the text version of it:
https://jasongoroncy.com/2009/05/29/%E2%80%98the-young-lutheran%E2%80%99s-guide-to-the-orchestra%E2%80%99
He’s not terribly kind to my instrument, the cello, but I think he describes the violas quite well 😀
as well as the trumpets 🙂
Brass Section
Tuba
Let’s be clear about one thing about the brass section. The rest of the orchestra wishes the brass were playing in another room. So does the conductor. His back is toward you so that you can’t see what he’s saying to them but what he’s saying is, “Would you mind taking that thing outside?” The brass section is made up of men who were at one time in the construction trades. They went into music because the hours are better, and there’s less dust. They’re heavy dudes, and that’s why composers wrote so few notes for them. Because after they play, you can’t hear for a while. The tuba player is normally a stocky, bearded guy whose hobby is plumbing. The only member of the orchestra who bowls over 250 and gets his deer every year and changes his own oil. In his locker downstairs, he keeps a pair of lederhosen for free-lance jobs. Anyway, there’s only one tuba in the bunch, and he’s it.
Trombone
The trombonist is a humorist, sort of the brother-in-law of the orchestra. He carries a water spray gun to keep his slide moist and often uses it against his neighbors. That’s why they duck down back there. He’s nobody you’d ever want to see become artistic director. And you just hope he doesn’t sit right behind you.
French Horn
Probably not a French horn because the French horn takes too much of a person’s life. French horn players hardly have time to marry and have children. The French horn is practically a religious belief all by itself. In some orchestras, the horn players are required to be celibate – – sometimes by their spouses. Because they think about the horn all the time, anyway.
Trumpet
The trumpet is the brass instrument you imagine as a Christian instrument, thinking of Gideon and Gabriel, and then you meet one in real life and you realize how driven these people are. They don’t want to wear a black tie; they want to wear capes and swords and tassels.
They want to play as loudly as they can and see mallards drop from the ceiling. Of the people who’ve keeled over dead at orchestra concerts, most of them were killed by a long trumpet passage.
And most of them were glad to go.
And a nice site with musician jokes I just ran across:

Here’s another YouTube I found that shows great conductors of the past.
My first artist cello teacher (from Norway) played under George Szell at Cleveland, and worked with students of Grieg (among others). Szell was kind of funny describing Strauss as a conductor 🙂
REALLY interesting to see the connections to the past. I had a chance to see Arthur Rubenstein in recital (as it turns out, his last before retiring) but I (for some reason) didn’t go…. sigh….
The Art of Conducting – Great Conductors of the Past
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYnqU4AJvtA
Another GREAT series is Leonard Bernstein’s television series from the early 1960s (which watched every time I could). TONS of information about composers, orchestras, and music in general. I think Michael Tilson-Thomas (crazy, he was at SC when I was) has a similar series; it’s good, but nowhere near as good as “Lenny”. Don’t think anyone else could be…
Here are the first 17 episodes (!) (or so it says 🙂 )…..
Also some more examples:
https://intrototheorchestra.org/instruments-of-the-orchestra
I look back and I realize that our generation is the last that can reach back and connect to the truly greats of the past… Heifetz, Elman, Piatigorsky, Casals, Rubenstein, Horowitz, and others (winds, brass, percussion, voice… e.g. Pavarotti and his father)…
