The Music Suite Of 275 North, Cumby, Texas (That Was Inspired By My Wife, Judy) Poem by Joe Rosochacki

I look outside at our pastoral setting
Where fresh winds blow,
Birds are calling each other not Tweeting
Butterflies are zipping through air
There wings are every color of the rainbow
'A flutter', which Judy to name the first movement of the suite
From reds, yellows, and iridescent blues
The woodpeckers which are hammering the percussion in the woods
Judy said to me 'Why don't you compose music about these things? '
Then I said I could,
Then she 'You should.'
I put my music mind to work
Although my hands were not able play a note,
I was busy pecking on my computer keyboard,
Like the woodpeckers in my composition, 'Knock'
And zipping through the notes on a PrintMusic program,
The color of harmonic progression is winding through deceptive cadences
And not so in some instances
Impressionistic composers like Eric Satie, was inspiration for my composition 'Birds',
and impressionistic painters, like Monet, come to mind
I wanted create a pastoral setting, putting colors into notes,
The canvas into sound,
But hopefully depicting the same thing
Then explaining it by words.
