Re: Digest Number 584() and music

October 30, 2000

Hi ,

I can so feel with you. I am a musical person too. I have a family

history with music, paintings,.....

My grandfathers (mothers father) uncle was a composer and a music

teacher. He was born 1884. He had composed music for chors in the

church. I have originaly notes from him. My mothers cousine is a very

known opera and concert singer in Switzerland and Germany. 10 years

ago, she was the first female arts award bearer in our region. But

anyway all the persons of my familiy at the mother side, they were

and are very modest.

I was also a composer and did sing. That is the saddest for me too,

that I can't sing again. I did write songs for pianos and gitarre

with vocables on swiss-germany language and one song in french. I did

write theatres with songs and did make a CD with a chor (30 persons).

But now, my diaphragma is not good and since 4 years I don't have the

strenght for singing.

But I listen often music. And I have found an other artistic

activity. I make paintings and study arts. With specifical aids I can

painting.

What for music do you love?
