\u201eTrebuie s\u0103 jertfe\u0219ti, trebuie necontenit s\u0103 jertfe\u0219ti artei toate nimicurile vie\u021bii.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 13 decembrie 2016, \u00een statul Carolina de Nord, a fost o zi \u00een care toamna plecase, l\u0103s\u00e2nd iarna s\u0103-\u0219i readuc\u0103 regatul, cu frigul \u0219i cu surprizele ei. Redescoperisem \u00een aceste zile farmecul lunii decembrie, lun\u0103 care \u00ee\u0219i croie\u0219te drumul spre puritate, \u00een a\u0219teptarea frigului, a fulgilor de z\u0103pad\u0103 \u0219i a celor mai frumoase s\u0103rb\u0103tori ale anului.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Ma\u0219ina gonea \u0219i prin mintea mea treceau versurile poetului rom\u00e2n George Bacovia, cel care m\u0103rturisea c\u0103 mai \u00eent\u00e2i a f\u0103cut muzic\u0103 \u0219i \u201edup\u0103 strunele viorii a f\u0103cut versuri\u201d; cel care a redat sentimentul iubirii culcu\u0219it \u00een odaie, ap\u0103rat de frigul iernii, poetul burgului Bac\u0103u din \u021bara mea Rom\u00e2nia, unde z\u0103pada se a\u0219terne cur\u00e2nd \u00een straturi mari: \u201e<\/em>Te uit\u0103 cum ninge decembre\u2026\/ Spre geamuri, iubito, prive\u0219te -\/ Mai spune s-aduc\u0103 j\u0103ratec\/ \u0219i focul s-aud cum trosne\u0219te.\/ \u0218i m\u00e2n\u0103 fotoliul spre sob\u0103,\/ La horn s\u0103 ascult vijelia,\/ Sau zilele mele – totuna -\/ A\u0219 vrea s\u0103 le-nva\u021b simfonia.\/ Mai spune s-aduc\u0103 \u0219i ceaiul,\/ \u0218i vino \u0219i tu mai aproape, -\/ Cite\u0219te-mi ceva de la poluri,\/ \u0218i ning\u0103\u2026 z\u0103pada ne-ngroape.\/ Ce cald e aicea la tine,\/ \u0218i toate din casa mi-s sfinte, -\/ Te uit\u0103 cum ninge decembre\u2026\/Nu r\u00e2de\u2026 cite\u0219te- nainte\u2026<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00centunericul serii ap\u0103ruse destul de brusc, orice melancolie a naturii fugise, dar sufletele noastre c\u0103utau atmosfera cald\u0103, frisonant\u0103 din s\u0103lile de concert ale ora\u0219ului Raleigh din Carolina de Nord. Nevoia de muzic\u0103, \u00een special \u00een aceste zile premerg\u0103toare S\u0103rb\u0103torii Na\u0219terii Domnului, o sim\u021beam ca o certitudine a vie\u021bii noastre spirituale.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Posibilitatea de a asimila o f\u0103r\u00e2m\u0103 din marile valori sonore ale culturii universale, dezl\u0103n\u021buite cu farmecul tr\u0103irii \u00een s\u0103lile de spectacole, ne-a determinat s\u0103 c\u0103ut\u0103m \u00een aceste zile programul Master Corale<\/em><\/strong> \u0219i s\u0103 ne procur\u0103m bilete pentru concertul din acest an \u2013 Joy of the Season <\/em><\/strong>(Bucuria sezonului)<\/em>, unul din seria concertelor acestei forma\u021bii, din 2016-2017, concert \u00a0cu care ne-am obi\u0219nuit, el fiind programat \u00een preajma S\u0103rb\u0103torilor Cr\u0103ciunului.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 La orele 19:30 ne \u00eendreptam deci spre \u201eDuke Energy Center for the Performing Art\u201d (Centrul artelor performante) din ora\u0219ul Raleigh, statul Carolina de Nord, pentru concertul \u201eJoy of the Season\u201d , \u00een sala numit\u0103 \u201eMeymandi Concert Hall\u201d<\/em>, cu 1700 de locuri.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Programul a fost extrem de bogat, sus\u021binut de coruri unite: Master Chorale, <\/em>prescurtat NCMC (North Carolina Master Corale), cor tradi\u021bional, av\u00e2nd peste 70 de ani de activitate, din 2015 lu\u00e2nd numele de Corul Rezident al Simfoniei din Carolina de Nord<\/em>. alc\u0103tuit din soprane, altiste, tenori, ba\u0219i \u0219i Chamber Choir <\/strong><\/em>(Corul de Camer\u0103) alc\u0103tuit din 20 tipuri de voci diferite, precum \u0219i Orchestra Camerei \u2013 Carolina Brass –<\/em> format\u0103 din instrumente de suflat \u0219i de percu\u021bie: trompete, corn, trombon, tub\u0103, pian \u0219i org\u0103.

\u00a0\u00a0 Concertul a fost dirijat de Directorul muzical Alfred E. Sturgis<\/strong>, devenit dirijorul acestei orchestre din 1993,\u00a0 la care am remarcat, ca \u0219i \u00een anii trecu\u021bi, aceea\u0219i energie, talent \u0219i bun\u0103 dispozi\u021bie, reu\u0219ind, ca de fiecare dat\u0103, s\u0103 ne emo\u021bioneze \u0219i s\u0103 ne aduc\u0103 bucuria \u00een suflete.<\/p>\n

\u201eAve Maria, gra\u021bia plena, Dominus Tecum.\/ <\/em>Benedicta tu in mulieribus,\/ et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.\/ Sancta Maria, Mater Dei,\/ ora pro nobis peccatoribus,\/ nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.

Amin.)<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 \u00cen \u00eencheierea primei p\u0103r\u021bi s-a c\u00e2ntat tradi\u021bionala pies\u0103 Angels We Have Heard on High,<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>interpretat\u0103 de Coral\u0103.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Dup\u0103 pauz\u0103 au urmat piesele interpretate de Coral\u0103: A Christmas Carol<\/strong> \u2013 Leslie Bricusse \u0219i Sing Noel<\/strong> \u2013 pies\u0103 compus\u0103 de Directorul muzical Alfred E.

S-au auzit cele dou\u0103 strofe:<\/p>\n

\u201eThe first Nowell the angels did say was to certain poor shepherds in field as they lay;<\/em><\/p>\n

In fields whwre they lay keeping their sheep, on a cold winter\u2019s night that was so deep:<\/em><\/p>\n

Nowell, Novell, Novell Nowell, born is the King of Israel.<\/em><\/p>\n

Then let us all with one accord sing praises to our heav\u2019nly Lord<\/em><\/p>\n

That hath made heav\u2019n and earth of naught, and with his blood manking hath bought.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0Nowell, Novell, Novell Nowell, born is the King of Israel.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Impresionant! Am plecat cu convingerea c\u0103 este minunat a cuceri lumea cu muzic\u0103, e ca \u0219i cum ai cuceri-o prin dreptate, bun\u0103tate, frumuse\u021be \u0219i adev\u0103r.<\/p>\n
