Happy Birthday Mozart

Posted on Jan 27th, 2009 by C.G. : Sacred Vow C.G.

Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination

nor both together go to the making of genius.

Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.--Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart


This is the birthday of Johann Chrysostom Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791)

I realize that not everyone finds this day significant, but I just cannot help myself.


Happy Birthday, Mozart!!


Sweetened it into a phrase of such delight......

The Voice of God

from the movie, Amadeus

 

 

Act1 -1 Le nozze di Figaro (Met'99) - Overture-duet

   I pay no attention whatever to anybody's praise or blame.

    I simply follow my own feelings. ---Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Thank you, Mozart, for the beauty that you left as gift long after you left....

Blessings, dear ones,

I really enjoyed seeing Amadeus, the movie. Wonder  how true to life that was?! His music is sublime; and it’s something to see what kind of life it came from. Not what you’d expect, somehow!

Happy Birthday Mozart!

The movie was  a delight but the man himself was a wonder that will never cease, regardless of how much time passes. Thanks for reminding us of this special birthday! Hugs

Wonderful music! Congrats too from me.

Also from Austria:

George Frideric Handel

The Austrians celebrate 2009 as Handel Year.

My favorite piece of him:

Messiah, Hallelujah

Thank you for joining in the celebration, Meenakshi and Nicole!
I have seen the movie, Amadeus, many times. Mostly its the music I love. These days I just put on a CD of his work, or bring up my Mozart station on Pandora

Congratulations, Handel…inspiration to Mozart and many of his contemporaries.

Austria has produced some great musical geniuses, Albert! I thank the Esterházy
family
, for their patronage of Joseph Haydn, wonderful composer and dear friend to Mozart.

Yes, Kathy…I agree. Mozart lives!

Me, too, Anna! I am proud of him for those as well.

blessings dear ones,

Yes, Meenakshi….you can give Pandora Mozart as the artist, and it will build a nice station—especially if you give the thumbs down to the music you don’t like, thumbs up to the type you want to hear more of. They do quite well.
