I have been singing it everyday and sometimes I don't even realize I am doing it. All I can say is when I listen, I feel a sense of grace, peace, femininity and a glimmer of all the other attributes of the lovely lady for whom this piece was written. Can't wait to see how the other assignments for this month will impact.Evonne J Deannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-10176309744758366552019-04-06T15:47:57.650-07:002019-04-06T15:47:57.650-07:00I was needing a break from work today, so I rested...I was needing a break from work today, so I rested on my bed and listened to both renditions of "Ave Maria." They were both calming and peace inducing. I am glad you suggested we listen to both the piano and the cello. The cello was lovely, and the piano piece without the voices in the background was brilliant! Now I want to listen to more renditions. :) Pjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742649402873674007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-61008612540649058742019-04-05T23:31:24.755-07:002019-04-05T23:31:24.755-07:00Estela- I love the Charlotte Mason method and am i...Estela- I love the Charlotte Mason method and am incorporating it more for next year.

You have been so supportive.<br /><br />Ali- I love that your son is a cellist. Yes to the viral video! I will share it in the check-in. Thank you!<br /><br />Lynne- Thank you so much.

I went all the way back to your very first videos and worked my way through to the present ones. They bring grace to my daily life, along with your books, which I have read more than once. This assignment has been lovely - the Hauser version of Ave Maria is so moving; I adore cello music. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Our household has lots of classical music as well as opera, and thanks to you, I am dipping randomly into our collection of albums and CDS and playing whatever comes up. It's been enlightening. I switched my radio station in the car to the classical one, as I have an hour long commute to and from work each day, and it has made a difference in my mood. I studied the romantic poets in college; Wordsworth is my favorite, but Shelley's not too bad, either! I keep a volume of Rumi on my nightstand; he's my current go-to, but TS Eliot is up there, too. Today, "Casual Friday" at work, I wore a pretty dress with a lace collar, my favorite heels, and put my hair up. "Dressing up" always makes me walk differently and with more confidence, and I like having your reminders. My 5 minutes alone comes at the end of the work day. I have a reading corner in my room where I sit and read the day's letters; and on Sundays I write letters at my beautiful desk with a fragranced candle burning, and listen to albums on my little record player. I do these more mindfully now, thanks to your blogs and videos. I am grateful for the grace you've brought to my life.

I also LOVE "Ave Maria" and have wanted him to play this. He hasn't so far, but I'm not giving up. :-)<br /><br />Did you catch this video that has gone viral? This father sang this while on vacation at Disney Land. So so good. His little daughter looks so proud of him.<br /><br />Loving this month's assignment.

I guess I preface any comment I make with that fact because I almost never leave a comment. That's not because I don't love your blog, it's more because it seems to me that you already have enough commentary to let you know "you are an amazing success." Though I almost never comment, I love your blog so very much. I so look forward to your every post. I love this new series. Sometimes as I read the news each day in paper and print, my preference, I become discouraged. Not only by all the crime reports and politics, but also in reading the social and entertainment sections. I am very far from "a prude." I'm a child of the 60s. However, after that experience, I find myself craving decorum and Shubert's 'Ave Marie" and even Perry Como's version which was played in my parents' home at every Christmas. I know that you are "a Believer." I am no longer though I endured parochial school as a child. Still, the beautiful and touching lyrics of Ave Marie still bring tears to my eyes.<br /><br />Jennifer, you are doing a very great service to your blog followers, whether they are of faith or not. You are demonstrating that our society still have those of us who care about<br />manners, discretion, dressing for "the occasion...or no occasion at all," just respecting ourselves, our family, our friends, and even strangers in the way we present ourselves. <br /><br />Like your Dad, my mother was a lover of the poetry of Shelley and Keats. She was also a lover of fiction, and a music lover. She listened to music while she went about her every day. Everything from Tchaikovsky to the Standards of the 40's and 50s, to Elvis, and then<br />the music of my teenage and young adult era.<br /><br />I was very fortunate to have a very close relationship with my mother. I "could tell her anything" even as a teenager. She'd listen, not commenting until I'd finished. Then, if she felt I'd lost my sense along the way, she'd preface her response with, "Oh, Patricia." Then she'd go on to give me her perspective, which was always the correct one to her mind and, actually, to my mind as well, most of the time, once I'd thought it through.<br /><br />Jennifer, while we must as a people advance into the 21st Century and certainly beyond, for many of us, I believe that self respect and respect for other human beings, animals, <br />our beautiful blue planet, Earth, and the rest of the yet unknown to us is our first salvation; then our salvation according to our beliefs is what follows.<br /><br />Patricia Patricia Wilsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-68497501257731700842019-04-02T03:26:20.626-07:002019-04-02T03:26:20.626-07:00Im loving your music suggestions -- we do Charlott...Im loving your music suggestions -- we do Charlotte Mason homeschooling, and we have a composer for every term. I think you'd like this kind of study so much, it's so you! Now that you're reading "Mother Culture" (do tell us about it when you're finished) I think you will get to know a bit about the method, and I'm sure you really enjoy the art / music / literature aspects of it.estelanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-25347650831441236102019-04-02T03:25:23.161-07:002019-04-02T03:25:23.161-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17216286390030390782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-34284398906682181292019-04-02T02:44:47.871-07:002019-04-02T02:44:47.871-07:00Add a sleek touch to your ensemble this summer wit...Add a sleek touch to your ensemble this summer with a <a href="https://sonderholliday.com/collections/womens-hats/products/the-fino-hat-midnight" rel="nofollow">black Panama hats</a>.

I like them very much and I think that they are very inspirational. I don't want to be a know-it-all because that is not very chic, but since I'm German and Schubert is Austrian (and we do speak the same language apart from minor differences) I thought you might like to know how "Schubert" is pronounced in German (if not, please, just ignore my comment): The emphasis is on the first syllable and the "t" in the end is also pronounced. I just thought you might like to know this. Thank you for all of your work, I enjoy it immensely. Have a lovely week and may your back heal quickly!

It's funny that you picked Percy Bysshe Shelley because I think about him quite a bit. My husband shares his birthday of August 4th. Many people have observed that people born on this day tend to be rebellious. Shelley was expelled from Oxford and was banned from England for his rebellious writings. As for my husband, he needs to be different than everyone else, using a different kind of bath towels, eating different foods, using different pillows and different healing methods, even if they don't work. This drives me bananas! But people born on this day are also idealistic, sensitive and creative. My husband is a musician. Learning about Shelley has helped me to understand and appreciate the man I love.<br />Warm best,<br />AlexandraLadylikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442584908951119679noreply@blogger.com
