Jules Massenet - Meditation from Thais for Violin and Piano

[@ellenmunger6447]

This beautiful piece was often played by my father who was a violin player, He played this at all three of our( daughters) weddings. I surprised my dad and played it for mom and dads 50th wedding anniversary on my flute. Now that dad is gone, when I do play it or just hear others playing it, I cry alot. It is sooo beautiful!

When I was a boy in a small Asian country, at age 10 years, this piece of music was featured at the end of a radio drama series. I did not know the name of this piece. But I liked it so much I would listen until the very end every night. Now, at age 65, I finally know the name of the composition. Brings back lots of nostalgic moments.

[@lbminh]

That's amazing!!!

I am now 81, and I too have many such musical memories, of listening to the BBC radio in the 1950's onwards, when such music had it's own slot on certain stations, and a huge following.

[@hanrolavh4546]

Like your daughter, I always wondered about the sorrowful expression on the violinist's face. I am not familiar with the story behind the opera. I hope someone can enlighten me. Thank you.

[@999a0s]

@@hanrolavh4546 the thing about playing classical music is that however much you feel it as a listener, you feel it approximately 1000-fold when playing. you can't help but be completely immersed in the music, and feel the harmony and phrasing in your entire being. harmony literally modulates human emotions, so when you have complete focus / immersion in it, it's intense. you're along for the ride. when it comes to this piece in particular, the story behind it is pretty sorrowful itself. "The story follows the life of the famed Alexandrian courtesan Thaïs and the monk Athanaël who has come to convince her to renounce her sinful life. She is driven into hysterics by the monk's words, seeing emptiness in her life and the approach of old age, until she collapses. The famous Meditation that follows her collapse musically depicts her conversion to a life of piety. The opera ends tragically, as Athanaël, having successfully converted her and returned to his monastery, is tormented by what he realizes is love for the former courtesan. He returns to Alexandria to find her dead and confesses his love and physical desire for her to the unhearing ears of her corpse."

My 19 year old Grandson played on his violin as a surprise number on my 70 th Birthday In May 2019. I never heard him play this seriously but I knew he was a member of his high school orchestra in Stuttgart, Germany. When the first few notes wafted in the air , silence fell. . The calmness and sweetness of the music caught everybody in awe. I didn’t want to spoil my make up , but I did. Tears were rolling down my cheeks. I brought me back when he was in middle school and told me me that wanted to join the school orchestra in Virginia Beach, .. His instrument of choice, VIOLIN. . I flew in from LAX. to personally deliver his first Yamaha violin. Thank you, O’shaun for making my birthday a memorable one.

[@francosavadori7292]

This performance is more than perfect. It's ANOTHER THING. The sound comes before technical perfection. The dialogue between the two musicians comes before notes. It's like a perfect poem, perfectly expressed by two impeccable actors. It's an uninterrupted dialogue, without any kind of hesitation or mistake. Everything is fluid, serene and perfect. This is the magic of art and the beauty of life.

It's sometimes hard to understand how classical music evokes something in some people to not allow it in or just cross it off. Those poor folks are missing one of the greatest joys of life in classical music. I would suggest to any man to invite a lady (who has not discovered classical music) to a romantic indoor concert. It might just win her heart. Many of my wifes and my younger dates included beautiful classical music and other nights we'd dance to intense techno music for hours and hours...

[@fowono2007]

Great point ! Health issues have paradoxically made me come to this realization: we are not cognizant of what we - humans - have, most of the time. Animal life documentaries show the brutality, the brutish-ness of the life of other species. How they have to scrap for food every day/meal. The vast majority of us - humans - don't. Unfortunately, some (too many) are deprived of the basic, by those who are blind to the gifts of Mother Nature aka The Creator, to us humans. The Christians (and certainly others) are on to something when they talk about the particularly great Love of the creator for us. Let me get off my soapbox. Superb piece !!!

My son is turning 11 next month and he is taking the AMEB grade 4 violin exam next month too. I showed him this beautiful violin video repertoire and he said he would play it next year in grade 6.

I always wonder how these musical geniuses were able to craft such masterpieces when considering the era in which they lived? Was it because there were less distractions? Jules, thanks for this beautiful masterpiece...!

my favorite piece! since I listened to it so many times, I found myself learning this much quicker than other songs even though it is not as easy. The melody of this song is like carved in my DNA already
