To my fellow seekers of Orpheus lute

Dear David Marine;

It was a great gift you had given me in finding these pieces of music for your listening, in fact I am putting it on my blog so the world can share it

Enjoy for many many hours my friend carry your head as Thracian Girl Carrying the Head of Orpheus on His Lyre" by Gustave Moreau (1865)

Humbly

Adrian

Orpheus with his lute made trees,
And the mountain tops that freeze,
Bow themselves, when he did sing:
To his music plants and flowers
Ever sprung; as sun and showers
There had made a lasting spring.

Everything that heard him play,
Even the billows of the sea,
Hung their heads, and then lay by.
In sweet music is such art,
Killing care and grief of heart
Fall asleep, or hearing, die.

William Shakespeare
