In music appreciation lessons, the primary focus m In music appreciation lessons, the primary focus must be the music. Our goal is not to learn as much as possible about any particular composer or composition, but to learn the language of music itself. As Charlotte Mason explains, “these messages of the musicians cannot be put into words, so there is no way of hearing them if we do not train our ear to listen.” There is always the question, though, of reading words about the music. Should we read little books or big books about the composer or about the compositions? Should we find living books or will reference books suffice? I recall enjoying books by Opal Wheeler and Susanna Reich over the years. But what did the PNEU read before these books were printed? When I read the 1922 PNEU music programme for Edvard Grieg, I was surprised to find the “set book” for the term was from “Bell’s Miniature Series of Musicians.” This series included many little books about many different composers, but as far as I can tell, only the book about Grieg was assigned in the PNEU. The book does not just cover the composer’s life. When Cedric Glover sets out the music programme, he says of the Peer Gynt Suite, “This is the most widely known work of the composer. A very good analysis of it will be found on page 68 of the set book, to which the student is referred.” Words about music to enhance the appreciation. I decided to track down the book which is shown in the video. Glover’s music programme may also be found at the profile link. Writing in 1922, he muses, “Of Grieg’s immortality it is perhaps too early to prophesy.” A century later, it is no longer too early. Just listen. @artmiddlekauff
While still reeling from the ongoing devastation c While still reeling from the ongoing devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, it’s heartening to see the images of rainbows posted by people in Western North Carolina and East Tennessee, two areas seriously hit. Here’s my recent view of the symbol of God’s promise from Kingsport, TN in hopes it offers encouragement. @rbaburina
Nancy Kelly opened the 2024 Living Education Retre Nancy Kelly opened the 2024 Living Education Retreat in July with her new talk entitled “Speech of the Soul: The Priority of Prayer in a Living Education.” This fascinating and touching presentation shed light on an aspect of Charlotte Mason’s philosophy and method which is rarely discussed. To paint us a broad picture of Miss Mason’s thoughts on prayer, Nancy drew on many sources, including the books Mason assigned in the programmes. She specifically focused on the books assigned for Sunday reading, which often touched on devotional or spiritual themes such as prayer. As an outgrowth of that research, Nancy has produced a separate article which talks specifically about those books. Not limiting herself to the subject of prayer, she has instead examined the book lists and how they were assigned to identify patterns and insights for us. How could living books further our growth in the supreme relation, our relationship with God? The fullness of Charlotte Mason’s answer is not found only on weekdays. Take a close look at Sundays with Nancy Kelly of Sage Parnassus @nancy_kelly_sage_parnassus. Find her compelling and insightful article at the profile link. @artmiddlekauff
The past four days have been an emotional rollerco The past four days have been an emotional rollercoaster, filled with anxiety and sadness as Hurricane Helene ravaged my hometown, where most of my family still lives. While we felt the storm in southern Georgia with heavy rain and temporary power loss, we escaped any serious damage. But as the storm gained strength in western North Carolina, I was in touch with family there, and things quickly grew worrisome. Soon after, all contact was cut off—power and phone lines went down, and for the next day and a half, I was unable to reach anyone. When I finally heard my mother’s voice, the overwhelming relief brought us both to tears. She confirmed she and everyone in her household were safe. She had also connected with my sister, who was safe too. “It’s bad, really bad, but we’re okay. We’re safe,” she said. As time went on, I got brief messages from other family members, all safe as well. That sense of not knowing, of wondering if the people you love and grew up with are alright, is an agonizing experience. My thoughts and prayers are with those who are still missing or unaccounted for. My heart is heavy for Mitchell County in WNC. Their water treatment facility sustained damage, which means no running water for the foreseeable future. The river has been tainted with oil and fuel, making the water unsafe for consumption, even if boiled. One of the grocery stores was submerged, and the other is powerless, so both are closed, leaving no food available. The entire downtown area, especially Lower Street, was devastated, wiping out small businesses. With the electricity still out, gas stations remain shut, and people are struggling to find fuel to power generators and clear the wreckage. Many elderly people who rely on oxygen are in danger of running out, and some are trapped in their homes. Landslides have swept away entire homes, and some areas, like Little Switzerland, are completely isolated, with roads leading to them destroyed. The extensive damage means restoring power and communication could take weeks. In the meantime, the community is pulling together to clear debris, find alternate routes, check on neighbors, and share resources. Cont. in comments @tessakeath
