Wow I can’t wait for this. I’ve been listening to (and learning on the guitar, with limited success) Michael’s music for many years now. I’ve got his vinyls on my wall and rhythm sonority and silence on my shelf. He’s an inspiration and his music and his story will enrich everyone that hears it from you. Best of luck, from the UK!

🕊Michael, Happy Heavenly Birthday 🩷 Heaven is all around ♡ translated to sound - Michael Hedges 🕊 ➡ Michael Hedges (December 31, 1953 - December 2, 1997) · Prelude To Cello Suite #1 In G Major · Windham Hill Artists - A Winter's Solstice II ➡ kzbin.info/www/bejne/emPdn5p6eLSpr7s "Yeah - the Bach piece, the cello Prelude is played by every classical guitarist in the key of D; but on the cello it's played in G. So I have this funny instrument that with the extra appendage called the harp guitar and it has a low G string. So I transcribed it and played it my own way and it turned out good." ☺ - MH, Autumn 1997 __ 🎶Sing psalms to the Lord with the harp with the sound of music🎶 🕊Psalm 98 _ 🩷God is Love - St. John 🩷Music is love - David Crosby ___ “Cello Suite 1: Wonder” There is something very spiritual about the music of Bach. The six suites for cello solo are no exception. The first of the Suites in G major to me is about wonder. Some say that in the baroque period the G major key was the key of benediction, of saying a blessing. Three simple arpeggiated notes. A harmony that is both simple but in its simplicity so profound. That is the genius of Bach. Sometimes, the greatest beauty is found in simplicity. This suite calls us to wonder. To delight. To trust. To rest. To peace. It reminds me of the words of the prophet Isaiah (9:6): “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor...Prince of Peace.” I think this music points us to the answer: child-like wonder. He can give us peace and restore Wonder. ➡ www.wheaton.edu/news/recent-news/2018/march/the-sacred-story-in-bachs-six-solo-cello-suites/ 🩷🕊posted on Michael's birthday, 31Dec2024, in the Michael Hedges Fan Club + Michael Hedges forever FB groups !! Blessings to all🕊🩷

Thank you for sharing this ! its like being transported back to the days at the Varsity theatre when i used to see Michael perform regularly. His slow deep music would transport the listener too and Michael really is the soul master of his unique style. Seeing and hearing him was like... if Leonardo Davinci played and reinvented the guitar before your eyes! We miss him.

All the best in learning Silent Anticipations !! 💟MH: freedom v frustration · energy was in the air · This next tune is one that i did write in Enid quite sometime ago (1973); and it was the first idea that i had to do a guitar solo. It’s quite raucous. It was kinda like sitting on the porch watching the tornado come our way into town so i call it “Silent Anticipations.” · even more percussive + involves a lot of harmonics

Yes, Neil Young + David Crosby + CSN were among his inspirations. MH commenting on his gigging while studying at the Peabody Conservancy in Baltimore(1975-80)➡ I would play four or five Neil Young songs in a row. I had the hair and the flannel shirt to match. Then I would break into one of my guitar solos… and after I finished, somebody would always yell "More Neil Young.” 💟 Sugar Mountain • Michael Hedges, rare live {Rocky & Friends} 1972 ➡ kzbin.info/www/bejne/epnGqYxriblqepI

🤍You are most welcome. 💫This footage is precious to Michael 's fans !! 💟"AUGUST RUSH" (release date: November 21, 2007) is a favorite movie about music: An orphaned musical prodigy uses his gift to try to find his birth parents. In Brazil, the movie is titled "The Sound of the Heart.” 💟 'Ritual Dance' by Michael Hedges is a highlight of the film. Michael’s dear friend. David Crosby recommended 'Ritual Dance' be one of the songs that August performs in the film. 🗞Young actor looked to Enid native for inspiration in ‘August Rush' role: ”There was this guy called Michael Hedges, actually, that we looked at a bit,” said Highmore, 14. "He played in that style, that sort of slapping style.”

It’s incredibly moving seeing a virtual army of young people performing the music of a man who revolutionized the guitar. The fact that they’re playing classical guitars also lends a warm quality to the music, and is reminiscent of where Michael studied classical guitar at Peabody Conservatory of Music. - Sep 1, 2022 ➡ michaelhedges.com/behind-the-scenes-filming-guitar-orchestra/
