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…
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…?

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.

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
