Symphony of Loving Memories

By Fatumaan

Prelude

 

Butterflies symbolize transformation. On the poster for the "One World of Peace through Music" concert, a butterfly is shown landing on the beautiful curved edge of a violin. The butterfly itself is a combination of blue and black, vibrating a dignified beauty. As the ocean waves strike the violin, a perfect union of nature and man-made melody is formed. Looking at the poster, the everlasting heavenly music suddenly arises! The ocean is the mother of the Earth. Listening to the sound of waves brings a nostalgic feeling and the gentle floating music from the violin awakens the desire for liberation in our hearts.

A Harmonious Concerto

Sincerity cannot be faked! Had they not been deeply touched by Master's poetry, the music and songs by the performers could not have sounded so sincere and heartfelt. Violinists, trumpeters, brass-wind instrumentalists, and the other sixty musicians in the "One World of Peace" orchestra were completely embraced by the spirit of Master's words. Under the conductor's magic baton, they performed in unity and became one. To interpret a love poem or to convey the feeling of a lover may not be very difficult, but it is truly a wonder that a spiritual practitioner's longing for eternal liberation could be expressed so clearly. The performance reminded one of Master's words, "Artists are half-saints!" Maybe this is because Truth is within us, and music has pure qualities that can readily touch the heart and awaken one's True Self.

Narration and Recitation

Am I in the Kingdom of God? Heavenly angels are singing Your songs. The choirboys sang hymns while music and praise echoed in the holy sanctuary. Choirboys, clean and pure, counted the "Silent Tears" of a Saint through their musical notes: one drop, two drops, countless drops. They became stars shining in the night sky forever giving light to the world.

Unsurpassed Vocalization

Initially, people only expected Master's impromptu singing to be a relaxing interlude during the performance. However, Her vocalization was so fantastic and amazing that it led the performance to an indescribable climax! Everyone present, especially those musicians who surrounded You that evening, were astonished by Your beauty and grace and almost forgot themselves as evidenced on the videotape. Your song, "Farewell," was dedicated to all the refugees in the world. Your singing showed your compassion and tenderness. It was a very touching and emotional moment. Your song silenced all the musical instruments. "Where are you going, my winter sun?".....

Happy Harmony

When the melody of "I Will Forever Love You" (one of Master's compositions) arose from Bill Conti's piano and fingertips, love notes floated in the air and happily looked for each other! In the soprano's undulant bosom and in the choirboys' puffy cheeks they were found!

In the eyes of everyone present, we found One World of Peace through Music! Really! Master, You really did it!

Although the musical concert is over, the emotion remains ....
