I take these songs slowly, they are so highly condensed.
I had listened to Song I a while ago and had thought I would let some time pass before listening to the others. Thank you for your gentle invitation to Songs V and VI; I am glad to follow it.
Song V today, Song VI will have to wait a little. One at a time.
All these pieces effect some substantial but hard-to-pin-down change within myself. True art.

The Moon Takes the Bow: The Longest Fight in the Sky, Scored on Love, Fear, Respect, and Attention
Two fighters have been circling each other since before anyone kept records, and the purse has never changed hands: the human gaze. In one corner burns a furnace so vast that something like a million Earths could rattle around inside it, the engine behind every green leaf and every heartbeat on this planet. In the other corner floats a charcoal-colored rock, airless and dead, throwing back about twelve percent of the light that hits it. On paper the match is a slaughter. In practice the rock has been taking rounds for ten thousand years, and the strangest fact on the whole card is a matter of scheduling, since only one of these two shows up for both shifts. […] -
Your Li Bai songs are a gift, thank you David. I have listened to Song I just now. Such a deep, intimate experience.
Three minutes of emotional and aesthetic intensity. I will let the after-effects do their work, then I will listen to Song I again. After a while I will listen to Song II. I will give these songs time.
Your follow-up thread is very moving too: the collaboration with your wife and father-in-law, the respect for the meaning and sound of the original poetry.
I don't speak any Chinese, but to my ears the affinity between music and text is so complete it hits me. I am moved by a text that speaks to me even if I have never understood its literal meaning.
As a young man I once attended a summer festival dedicated to Anton Webern (Berliner Festwochen 1983). Three weeks of emotional and aesthetic purity. I remember the elation coming from this encounter. I experience the same elation now.

Fan Qi's exquisite painting captures the essence of a serene journey through nature, echoing Li Bai’s poetic imagery. The delicate brushwork and muted tones invite reflection. What does this harmonious landscape inspire within you?

Fijn artikel over het verband tussen #China en #Japan, en vooral hoe Chinese literati dat verband invulden. Chinees Xu Fu was naar het oosten gevaren, op zoek naar een onsterfelijkheidsmedicijn, en eeuwen later nam men aan dat hij in Japan was uitgekomen waarna Japan gelijk werd gesteld aan het mythisch eiland Penglai.

You ask why I stay in the mountains
I smile without speaking, my heart content
Peach blossoms in the stream float into the distance
There’s another realm beyond the world of people.-Li Pai (701–762)

Li Bai: "Schodząc we śnie z Tianmu"
Marynarze rozprawiają o Yingzhou,
których mgły i fale widok skrywają.Ludzie Yue mówią o górze Tianmu,
która pojawia się i znika wśród chmur.https://wp.me/p3fv0T-gnb #poezja #Tang #wiersze #Chiny #唐詩三百首 #300wierszyTang #kultura #klasyka #李白 #LiBai #Tianmu #sen #夢遊天姥吟留別

Li Bai: "Ciężka droga Shu"
No proszę, proszę, co za wysokości, co za niebezpieczeństwa!
Droga do Shu trudna do podjęcia nawet pod błękitnym niebem!
Can Cong i Yu Fu stworzyli państwo rozległe, bez wyraźnych granic.https://wp.me/p3fv0T-gjk #Shu #droga #LiBai #蜀道難 #李白 #poezja #Tang #wiersze #Chiny #唐詩三百首 #300wierszyTang #kultura #klasyka

#AmReading THE BANISHED IMMORTAL: A LIFE OF LI BAI by #HaJin, who mentions Li Bai's calligraphy skills:
"The lettering is extraordinarily robust & beautiful & floating, displaying the writer's innate radiance. These characters show the work of a master calligrapher with a striking, unique style. Judging by the bold beauty of his calligraphy, Li Bai must have been spiritually free & physically strong."
Now conflating #LiBai with Wang Bo Zhao's character in the film ROMANCE OF THE CALLIGRAPHER.

The two friends in Osborne's novel met at Cambridge & bonded over the poetry of #LiBai, whose poem "The Exile's Letter", says the narrator, "was the greatest single poem about friendship ever written outside Homer."
I have my own fondly remembered but failed friendship forged through books. We met in a pub & bonded over the prose of Jane Bowles. But that was a lifetime ago..
Inspired to read more about Li Bai, am turning next to THE BANISHED IMMORTAL a biography of the poet by #HaJin.

Li Bai: "Ballada z Lushan dla cenzora Lu Xuzhou"
Moje korzenie sięgają Szaleńca z Chu,
co feniksa pieśnią śmieje się z Konfucjusza.https://wp.me/p3fv0T-fKd #LiBai #Lushan #ballada #LuXuzhou #李白 #poezja #Tang #wiersze #Chiny #唐詩三百首 #300wierszyTang #kultura #klasyka #廬山謠寄盧侍御虛舟

Li Bai: "Skarga żony kupca I"
妾髮初覆額， 折花門前劇；
郎騎竹馬來， 遶床弄青梅。Z grzywką krótko przyciętą na czole,
zrywałam kwiaty pod bramą zawzięcie;
młody przybyłeś na bambusowym koniu,
rzucaliśmy się zielonymi śliwkami przy studni.https://wp.me/p3fv0T-eHB #poezja #Tang #wiersze #Chiny #唐詩三百首 #300wierszyTang #kultura #klasyka #李白 #LiBai #長幹行 #żona #kupiec #skarga

棄我去者， 昨日之日不可留；
