Dear Readers,
SoundEagle🦅 is waiting to amplify your affinity for and engagement with the Moon🌕 and the Transfigured Night🎴 as you fully embrace and experience this enchanting post to fathom the very art, poetry and spirit imbued with the sense of awe derived from contemplating the imaginatively celestial and existentially cosmological by immersing yourself in the scenario of asking emphatically and empathetically what could indeed transpire If My Name Were Moon Tonight…
If My Name Were Moon Tonight…
The video above is best viewed in full screen on a desktop or laptop computer, given that the animation was rendered and recorded in high definition (1920 x 1280).
Watch the lunar body coming alive with celestial vibrancy as the scintillating Full Moon is energized enthrallingly by eye-catching astronomical phenomena and stellar activities.
If my name were Moon tonight…🌕✨ ☄️✨
Would you play me hawk sonatas
And make my heart swoon outright
With a hill full of nostalgias…?
If I could cease to be Earth’s satellite…
Would you wrench me closer with gravity
To be larger, brighter by your campsite
On the mountain before my next journey…?
If my aim were Moon by starlight…
Would you howl me a lunar tune
That sings of my light-year spaceflight
Drifting through Milky Way’s lagoon…?
If I came as the Moon tonight…
Would you play me eagle concerti
On the hill awash in moonlight
Enchanted by tonal fantasy…?
If my name were Moon tonight…
Would you propose to me with wolf symphonies
And hear my soul croon forthright
Across old memories and new destinies…?
Postlude
If my name were Moon tonight…
Which spell would you recite
To turn this blue butterfly 🦋
Into thousands in the sky…?
If I waned and hid from view…
Would you yearn for my returning
With an entrancing debut
As a mysterious prince charming…?
If my name were Moon tonight…
Would you promenade your cloud
To cajole mystic starlight
As I serenade aloud…?
Pink Supermoon 2021
If my name were Moon tonight…
Who would you kindly invite
To view my April festoon 🌕
As I turn pink or maroon…?
Which fine tune would you strum for me
By the lake with campfire so bright
That stars swirl to your melody…?
Coda
Would you stay and keep me company
With your ravishing costume in sight
For a moment or eternity…?
Would you honour Mother Earth
With conservation foresight
To safeguard its future worth…?

Good morning to you! Let’s hope that you have had some wonderful dreams last night after savouring the piano and organ music presented here.
The newest foray by SoundEagle🦅 into the lunar territory has resulted in creating a complex animation of “Clair de Lune”, the third and most famous movement of Debussy’s Suite bergamasque.
Have you had a chance to watch the Music Animation with Dynamic Visualization full of eye-catching astronomical phenomena and stellar activities? It is a foregone conclusion that SoundEagle🦅 needs a more powerful computer to render the five-minute continuous animation sequence more smoothly. The video is best viewed in full screen on a desktop or laptop computer, given that the animation was recorded in high definition. Please enjoy!

As for the poem entitled If My Name Were Moon Tonight…, SoundEagle🦅 wonders whether certain stanza(s) did appeal to you more than the others. A friend once commented that “[t]he poem in particular makes for quite a fine serenade.”
SoundEagle🦅 has no plan to learn and play the other movements from Debussy’s Suite bergamasque.

Hello SoundEagle. While I am not versed enough in either poetry or in music to given much in a thoughtful comment on those aspects I can say the beginning of the music on the animation could be developed in to a stead low volume music to play in a babies / young child’s room to soothe them. The entire thing could be developed for a screen saver that I think would do very well. Best wishes. Hugs

It is delightful to receive your feedback and compliment on the music presented here by SoundEagle🦅, who would appreciate your indicating precisely which one is “the third composition” and what you meant by “compromising”, a word that seems to have been oddly paired with “soothing”.
Apart from the music, one wonders whether SoundEagle🦅’s poem entitled If My Name Were Moon Tonight… and Music Animation with Dynamic Visualization presented in high definition have both impressed you suitably and enhanced your enjoyment and appreciation of the music.

It’s about the titular composition itself that I referred. Sorry, it was not third, the first one itself. It’s the order in which I played and got confused when commenting. Each and every composition is beautiful. By compromising I meant the one satisfying our expectation. Soothing and compromising together is just a poetic usage to say the idea of something reaching our level of expectation and satisfying the taste of the readers or audience. Both your write ups and songs are extremely beautiful. Wonderful lyrics too. Thanks for suggesting the composition. Will check out soon.

I had to check out the ‘Poetry’ category first as it’s the language that resonates with my mind the most. I’ve to say, I absolutely adored this poem and especially the quoted stanza! The moon is a simple phenomena and yet, it seems to be the ink of harmonies.
I wonder, if your name was the moon, where would you go when the phase of being a ‘new moon’? Where do you hide?
I unfortunately couldn’t read the weighty articles as there seems to be a bit of a language barrier (the vocabulary is impressively advanced) but I do hope with the continuity of my studies, I’ll be able to discuss the ideas portrayed there.
Note: Your website is inspiringly well-made. The usage of multimedia is stunning, to say the least.

Welcome! You have debuted here with an excellent comment characterized by an amicable disposition and a penchant for appreciating poetry. How very encouraging and delightful indeed that you have responded to the rhyming poem entitled If My Name Were Moon Tonight… so well and held it in such high regard!
Thank you very much for complimenting SoundEagle🦅 on the titular poem as well as the website and multimedia. In addition, SoundEagle🦅 looks forward to your perusing one of “the weighty articles” entitled The Quotation Fallacy “💬”, which reveals that people are often their own worst enemies, being hampered, confined and stymied by their own demons, beliefs, ignorance, inertias, mindsets, fears, bigotries, insecurities, follies and foibles, in spite of, or even because of, their humanity, culture and upbringing. This very special post has cited numerous terms and examples that encapsulate some of the commonest pitfalls in human perceptions and behaviours, many of which routinely evade our attention and conscious control, even in the mere act of choosing, reading or using any quotation or statement. Hence, the Quotation Fallacy is always upon us, impinging and seeping into our lives in various ways. All in all, it is indeed quite difficult to live a well examined life, which is neither a high priority nor an achievable goal for most folks, even though such a priority or goal has become more paramount and essential, considering the urgency of many mounting global issues.
Apart from poetry, how have you fared with the latest foray by SoundEagle🦅 into Music Animation with Dynamic Visualization presented in high definition and imbued with a scintillating full moon surrounded by eye-catching astronomical phenomena and stellar activities?
Since you “absolutely adored this poem and especially the quoted stanza”, SoundEagle🦅 would like to sign off with an extra stanza as a partial response to your questions. Please feel free to respond in kind.

Ros,
I grew up with years of unspeakable childhood abuse. The trauma left me with hidden scars I could not bear and at 18 I attempted my life. In the psychiatric hospital I met a 60 year-old Cardiac surgeon . He had lost his license to practice medicine for showing up to the operating theatre drunk. We both for, different reasons, had lost the will to live. For some reason seeing me so young with the life gone from my eyes, it saddened and inspired him to play that piano for me. He also played Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata for me:
I will never forget him, the music, or the kindness he gave me. His love at times, willed my very soul to carry on.
To answer your question it was Claude Debussy’s piano version he played which was also my favorite version on your post. I am so sorry that I cannot view the animation on my iPad. I’m sure it’s spectacular. I will try and view it at a later time though. You strike me as wildly intelligent and most interesting! I don’t know if I am even bright enough to be in your company.
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful, meaningful, and special validation. I still have so many miles more to travel on my journey. I haven’t received anything this special since my late mother was alive. I am truly grateful.
Warmly,
Bostongirl 🌷

Considering how significant “Clair de Lune” has been for you, SoundEagle🦅 is inclined to deduce that the piano is your most beloved instrument. Have you ever learnt to play the piano or other musical instrument?
Do you find SoundEagle🦅’s rendition of “Clair de Lune” on the organ too far removed from your expectation and appreciation of its original version for solo piano? Do you find the organ version a satisfactory contrast to the piano version by providing extra depth and character to the piece?
Thank you for intimating something so private about yourself. Childhood trauma resulting from abuse can indeed have long-lasting impacts and indelible scars on the human psyche. Such an assault on one’s foundational years is especially egregious not just because there exists such lopsided power differential between the abused and the abuser but also because the minor involved have limited psychological reserve and emotional fortitude to withstand and contextualize such harrowing experiences. Consequently, the damage tends to be more severe and permanent.
Nevertheless, time and wisdom will eventually bring more clarity and resolutions to our lives. It seems that there remain some positive experiences and reassuring memories from your past insofar as you still cherish the special gifts, tokens, keepsakes or heirlooms that your late mother had given you. To that extent, we are both in the same boat. Perhaps you might consider publishing a post about your (relationship with your) mother on your blog, as SoundEagle🦅 has done so in this special eulogy-cum-memoir-cum-biography.

I didn’t find SoundEagle🦅’s rendition of “Clair de Lune” on the organ too far removed from any expectation at all. When I heard Debussy’s version, it literally transported me back in time to that tiny room with that Doctor “B”, it was as if I was there again listening to him play. Bittersweet I suppose.
I have full appreciation for SoundEagle🦅’s organ version and apologize for not having said so. It is both dreamy and enchanting in a way that cannot be achieved in the original piece. It is quite lovely.
I grew up playing the violin and later the flute, I sometimes tried my hand at playing my neighbor’s piano as she taught me several chords. I also played another friend’s clarinet. However, singing is my first love. It brings me the most joy. I like to find the harmony in songs. I enjoy most kinds of music with few exceptions.
Per your suggestion, I have not been writing as much as I used to on my former blog. I am unsure if I should continue writing at all. I don’t really have much talent and never had a lot of traffic. I am not like you, neither talented nor gifted. Sadly, I am just ordinary. The third anniversary of my mother’s death was only a few days ago. I miss her so….She saw the good in everyone, I believe I received that ability from her.
I do have have many special gifts, tokens, and heirlooms that my late mother gave me. The greatest of which was the ability to love. ❤️
Take care dear Ros

What is amazing is that you did see the blue butterfly in the shirt of Amy, dear Soundeagle.You certainly are so sensitive as your performance shows.
I actually like your plain piano-track more than anything else, because it shows your profound empathic soul, untainted from the distortion of colors or other sounds.
I gather that it must be very difficult for you to channel all your talents into a way which yields results in our rough capitalism, and am amazed about how much energy you seem to have to share with the world.

SoundEagle🦅 is touched by your perceptive understanding, and would like to inform you that the five-stanza rhyming poem has been thoughtfully and stylishly extended with a Postlude containing three stanzas, followed by two stanzas pertaining to the Pink Supermoon 2021, and another two for the Coda, thus totalling twelve stanzas. Furthermore, the entire post is festooned with animations from top to bottom, even in this very comment dedicated to you.
May you find your multisensory experience of this exquisitely bespoke poem not only aesthetically gratifying but also eminently capable of resonating deeply with your spirit and even engendering sublime imports that could potentially ascend to existential transcendence both within and without your meditations!

Dear SoundEagle, thanks for sharing this post with me in a comment on my blog. As requested, I’m leaving feedback here as well. What a beautiful artistic compilation you have created. Hearing the piano music of Debussy at that moment and on that post of mine which although not stated, was in fact a bit about my mom, brought tears to my eyes, as she used to play this song on the piano. Thanks for eliciting that lovely memory with your timely sharing of this post on my blog. You are very talented in many fields of study. Perhaps you also have some keen intuition. Much appreciated.

Dear Nadine
Hello! Mirroring the title and the first paragraph of your post entitled “What do you want to write”, SoundEagle🦅 hereby asks: “what do I want to comment?” Well, here comes the answer:
Your said post is brimming with spirited accounts of your life’s various events and folks, so much so that one felt as though one has been tossed into a buffet to sample bits and pieces of your latest recollections of certain special moments and unusual happenings.
SoundEagle🦅 is delighted that this moon-themed multimedia post has resonated with you in such a profound and heartfelt manner, and is touched by your revealing its musical connection to your late mother in your reply to SoundEagle🦅’s long comment submitted to your post entitled “Even irregularity has a rhythm” as follows, just prior to composing your previous comment:
Both of your comments have rendered SoundEagle🦅 sentimental insofar as SoundEagle🦅 used to perform “Clair de Lune” on the organ for a highly beloved person, as documented in a special eulogy-cum-memoir-cum-biography, which you are very welcome to peruse. There is a parallel between us in that “Clair de Lune” reminds us of our mothers.
This five-stanza rhyming poem has recently been lovingly extended with a Postlude containing three stanzas, followed by two stanzas pertaining to the Pink Supermoon 2021, and another two for the Coda, thus making a total of twelve stanzas. Furthermore, the entire post is festooned with animations from top to bottom, even in this very comment.
Please enjoy! Happy Sunday to you!

Reacting against realism and rhetoric, the Symbolists tried instead to evoke a mood, an essence, an Ideal. Just as the Moon takes its light from the Sun, they sought to illuminate seemingly inaccessible subjects indirectly, by creating reflections. Here we have masks and dancing, fantastic disguises, fountains sobbing in ecstasy, moonlight: a swirl of suggestive images that speaks volumes about the human soul without really saying anything. Rather like music, in fact. Both Ravel and Faure composed pieces based on Verlaine’s poetry, and this poem inspired Claude Debussy to write his own ‘Clair de lune’, the third movement of his

So gorgeous. Your unbelievably sweet and beautiful poem had me mesmerized from the opening line. I wanted to be the object of the moon’s desire. Maroon was our biggest high school color, so you brought back memories there. And, who doesn’t like good surprises??? I want to meet that person if he or she exists. Another odd thing was that the poem seemed longer than before…maybe I missed part of it the first time through. Your poem was just a pleasure to the senses. Thank you for writing it! Bravo!! Encore!!

Dear Susan,
SoundEagle🦅 is greeting you here for the first time with a manifestly bespoke and animated reply to welcome you to this intellectual home, sonic nest, musical den and artistic eyrie. It is indeed delightful that you have been able to resonate with the well-illustrated and animated contents of this post, and to relate to them so personally and meaningfully with fond reminiscences and nostalgias. One may reasonably conclude that this twelve-stanza tetrapartite rhyming poem and eye-catching animations distributed throughout the whole post have done well in bringing a distinctly imaginative multisensory experience to your satisfaction.
Therefore, it is heartening to know that you have been substantially impressed by the Music Animation with Dynamic Visualization in conjunction with the special rendition of “Clair de Lune” presented in a visually striking format, where the fanciful animation starts calmly and gradually climaxes with the musical ebb and flow of “Clair de Lune”, as the Full Moon comes alive right before your eyes!
As for you “want[ing] to meet that person if he or she exists”, perhaps you might learn that the person has already been so taken, enamoured or possessed by the power and allure of the scintillating Full Moon that he or she may have little interest in any terrestrial being.
Since you like maroon, “[y]our biggest high school color” reminding you of your student days, SoundEagle🦅 has summoned the Pink Supermoon to accompany you at the upper right conner of this bespoke comment.
Given that you play the piano, and that you have enjoyed this post featuring a poem and piano music, SoundEagle🦅 would like to indulge you with a similar post containing both a poem and a piano piece. The difference is that the music is an original composition conceived by SoundEagle🦅, who has even made the scores available, so that you may learn to play the piece yourself. Please click the button below to visit the post:

Last but not least, we have something special in common, for we both adore our respective mothers. The following is a magnum opus presenting a very detailed, multipronged and poignant examination of mortality and filiality. Containing many SoundEagle🦅’s original compositions dedicated to a beloved mother, the post also features “Clair de Lune”, a title that will always remind us of your chosen French name “Claire”.
