// This is my tribute to the many blessings that music brings to our lives. I know many of you share this enthusiasm and gratitude. // Appreciating an amazing artform: allegro, andante, or adagio - Bach, Beethoven, Brahms: beautiful berceuse, ballad, and bolero Classical concertos and Christmas chorales crescendo concordantly Dancers delight to dizzying drums and delectable dynamics Ensemble eloquently emotes euphonic etudes and elegies Flautist fluttertongues flute in frenzied fantasia or fantastic fugue Guitar gallivants through gavotte, graced by glockenspiel glissandos Heavenly hymns, happily harmonized, hearkening hearty hallelujahs Improvising instruments inspiring in impromptu inventions, Jovial jazz juxtaposition of jubilant, jamming jitterbugs Kalimba keeps count as keyboardist kinetically caresses keys Love song lullabys - lilting, legato lines of luxuriant, longing lyrics Minuet melodies and madrigals marking mellifluous motifs Nutcracker's necklace of nourishing notes: a nighttime nocturne Orchestra's opulent overture opus, oratorio's operatic octet Pianist plays presto pianissimo pitches in pulsing pizzicato perfection Quartets and quintets on a quest for quality quiescent quarter notes Romantic rhapsody rhythms resonate as rock 'n roll reverberates Symphonies and sonatas send spine shivers, saxophone solos soar Tenor troubadours tremolo in tempo as trumpet thrills with trills Utopia of unassuming ukuleles unwinding in unison Voluptuous violin vibrato, virtuoso vocalist, vivace vintage vibraphone Well-tempered woodwinds wield wonderful waltzes worth whistling Xylophone eXudes eXcitement in eXquisite eXtemporaneity Yearning for youthfulness, you yodel "Yesterday" Zesty zither anyone?

Thanks, my friend. It's my first abecedarian poem; I figured I'd better start with something I know about and love, like music. I appreciate the uplifting words.

You clearly have a musician's ear, I am dazzled by your vernacular (and I really like 'Nutcracker's necklace!) Best wishes for the contest!

Music truly inspires me. I am actually listening to "the elegance of Pachelbel" "Elegy" right now as I as type this. At night, when all the world is quiet- I linger in the soft touch of music. My muse likes this. :) Sometimes she comes out to play. A wonderful tribute. :) Brandy
