12月10日　サントリーホール

下野竜也指揮日本フィルハーモニー交響楽団　第746回東京定期演奏会

G.フィンジ　入祭唱

M-A.タネジ　3人の叫ぶ教皇

G.フィンジ　武器よさらば

　テノール　糸賀修平

R.ヴォーン・ウィリアムズ　交響曲第6番

イギリス・プログラム。そしてシモーノらしいヘンテコであり、また含意を感じるプログラム。

前半でインパクトといえばタネジの曲になるが、下野氏が選びそうな新表現主義的な曲想で、個人的には共感できない音楽。これをフィンジの静謐な二つの曲ではさみ込む構成（3曲続けて演奏された）にはやや無理があったように思えた。しかし、フィンジの「武器よさらば」（ヘミングウェイとは関係ない）には静かで強い美しさがある。

RVWの交響曲第6番、先月はスラトキンとN響による交響曲第5番の名演を聴いたばかりだが、それとはまったく異なる、非常に厳しい表現に胸をつかれる。とくに、この曲の中心と思える第2楽章の悲劇性。終盤のシンバルの一発にはすべてが破壊されたかのような衝撃があった。そして、無機的な弱音が続く第4楽章・エピローグ。16〜17世紀の詩につけられたフィンジの「武器よさらば」では戦いの後に再び命が芽吹くが、RVWの交響曲第6番の最後は戦争の後のなにもない廃墟のようだ。

Heartstrings and High Tea

Character: Neuvillette x Reader

Tags: established relationship, major fluff and romance

A/N🍨: I was listening to my favorite classical piece, Romance in E flat major op 11 by finzi, and please listen at this timestamp 4:04 till 4:30 (this is my favorite part of the piece) it's so good and that's where this fanfic is inspired from! I hope you guys like this!

“Ah, this tea is exquisite, my love.” Neuvillette remarked, savoring the delicate flavor. “What blend is it again?”

“Geranium, my dear.“ you replied as your brush dancing across the canvas as you captured his likeness. “And hold that pose, you're positively radiant.”

A hint of color dusted Neuvillette's cheeks as he attempted to hide his smile behind his fingers. “You flatter me endlessly...” he murmured, his gaze fixed on you with adoration.

“You deserve every compliment, my handsome muse~" you teased with affection evident in your voice. “...and your presence alone inspires me.“

Neuvillette chuckled softly, tracing the rim of his teacup with his fingers. “You've painted me countless times, my love. Do I truly make a good subject?”

“Absolutely.” you insisted and setting your brush aside to meet his gaze. “You're more captivating than any masterpiece I could ever create.”

Neuvillette remained seated in the cozy chair amidst the glass greenhouse garden which surrounded by an array of delectable pastries and steaming cups of tea, all serving as picturesque props for your painting. The air was filled with the sweet aroma of flowers, mingling with the warm scent of freshly brewed tea, creating a serene atmosphere that cocooned you both in a dreamy embrace.

As you diligently painted Neuvillette, your brushstrokes danced across the canvas with an ethereal grace, capturing every subtle nuance of his features bathed in the soft, diffused light filtering through the glass panes. Your gaze often lingered on him with a tender affection, your smile a silent testament to the depth of your love for him, a love that transcended words and found expression in the strokes of your brush.

Neuvillette observed you with a mixture of adoration and wonder, his heart swelling with gratitude for the blessing of having you as his fiancée. He longed to express the depths of his feelings, to convey how fortunate he felt to share his life with someone as understanding and lovable as you. But for now, he contented himself with basking in the warmth of your presence, reminiscing about the countless cherished moments you've shared together.

In this idyllic moment suspended in time, surrounded by the lush greenery and bathed in the soft glow of the afternoon sun, Neuvillette found himself lost in a reverie of love and gratitude, his heart overflowing with a sense of profound bliss. And as you continued to paint him with unwavering devotion, each brushstroke became a testament to the timeless bond that bound your souls together, creating a masterpiece of love that would endure for eternity.

“You're the serenity that graces my weary eyes, my dear.” you whispered, your voice carrying the weight of adoration as you approached the tea table, seeking solace from your artistic endeavors. Neuvillette, ever the poet, met your gaze with a soft smile, his eyes shimmering with affection. Pouring the fragrant tea into your awaiting cup, he uttered, “You and your words weave a tapestry of enchantment, my love.”

With a gentle clink of porcelain, you both indulged in the comforting warmth of the tea, enveloped in a tranquil silence that spoke volumes. Neuvillette's tender touch, his ungloved hand intertwined with yours, caressed your skin with a softness that transcended words, his thumb tracing delicate patterns as if etching promises of eternal devotion.

In this silent exchange of love, every sip of tea became a communion of souls, each touch a symphony of unspoken vows. Lost at the moment, you found safe heaven in the simple act of being together, your hearts entwined in a dance of whispered promises and lingering gazes.

“Soon we'll officially be husband and wife, my beloved.” He whispered as your heart swelled with emotion at his heartfelt declaration. “To wake by your side each morning, to legally bind our love, and to have the privilege of calling you mine for eternity fills me with boundless joy.”

As Neuvillette poured out his hopes and dreams for your future together, you felt a surge of gratitude for the unwavering love and devotion he offered. With a gentle squeeze of his hand, you conveyed your unwavering commitment to stand by his side through every trial and triumph that lay ahead.

Together, you had already laid the foundation for a partnership built on love, trust, and mutual respect. From open communication, comprehension, compromising to unwavering commitment, you both understood the importance of nurturing your relationship with care and compassion.

As the scene shifted from the tranquil greenhouse to the grandeur of the altar, time seemed to hold its breath in anticipation of the momentous occasion unfolding. With hearts pounding in unison, you stood hand in hand with Neuvillette, your eyes locked in a silent exchange of vows that transcended mere words.

"I do." Neuvillette's voice resonated with unwavering conviction as he slipped the ring onto your trembling finger, a single tear glistening in the corner of his eye. With a tender kiss upon your forehead, he sealed the promise of a lifetime, igniting a blaze of passion and devotion that would illuminate your path forward as husband and wife.

In that electrifying moment, amidst the hushed whispers of cherished guests and the swell of emotional crescendo, you both embarked on a journey of boundless love and infinite possibilities. For one who once knew not the depths of emotion, to stand now, married, heart brimming with love – it proves: anything is possible.

Favorite piece I’ve played…

For myself/solo, I can definitely say it’s the one I picked this year- Prelude, first movement of the Five Bagatelles by Gerald Finzi

As a band, I don’t really know, I’ve about lost track of all we’ve played over the years. But we did play a really fun march I liked I couple years ago that I still remember- Mad Dash by Timothy Loest

12 Days of Classical Christmas

Day Two: In Terra Pax, by Gerald Finzi

A frosty Christmas eve

When the stars were shining

Fared I forth alone,

Where westward falls the hill.

And from many a village

In the water'd valley,

Distant music reached me

Peals of bells a'ringing.

The constellated sounds

Ran sprinkling on earth's floor

As the dark vault above

With stars was spangled o'er.

Then sped my thoughts to keep

That first Christmas of all

When the shepherds watching

By their folds ere the dawn

Heard music in the fields

And marveling could not tell

Whether it were angels

Or the bright stars singing.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them:

"Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying:

"Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men."

But to me heard afar

It was starry music,

Angels' song, comforting,

As the comfort of Christ

When He spake tenderly

To His sorrowful flock.

The old words came to me,

By the riches of time

Mellow'd and transfigured,

As I stood on the hill

Heark'ning in the aspect

Of the eternal silence.

Text: Robert Bridges "Noël: Christmas Eve 1913," Luke 2:8-17 and the Book of Common Prayer (adaptation)
