Satyagraha Conclusion Act 3, by Philip Glass, live Lisa Moore piano Eastern Ripples

[@MacD45]

The meaning of "Satyagraha" is so delicately synthesized in this tune...it comes back at you again, and again, just as Satyagraha does! Thank you!

[@NeilFiertel]

Philip Glass ..such an incredible evocative composer to me. I first heard him when I was a young man. I never forgot the feeling of floating infinitely from it. Wondrous music.

[@AxelGizmo]

This is imho the best rendition of the piece so far. I'd love to hear the beautiful, painfully tender ending though too.

[@jeffwatkins352]

Very much like this slightly slower tempo and the gentler legato and sostenuto. Really works well with this music. Lovely interpretation, masterfully played.

[@rickwarden9913]

That is an extraordinary rendition, and the piece is both hypnotic and commanding to perform. I am horrified that the clip ends a handful of bars before the end though. It literally hurt my brain that it didn’t close...

[@LisaMoore]

Oh, sorry about that, not sure why it cut out there. I did make it to the end unscathed! Thanks for listening.

[@rpallen3129]

@@LisaMoore If the full clip can be had.... this is such a beautiful performance and the slower-than-usual tempo really brings out the nuances (that can get lost in Glass' style of writing) and the meditative ambience. ♥

[@lesbsocal9107]

Glass takes me to some alternate universe. An exquisite performance from the best interpreter of Glass I have heard.

[@Pooneil1984]

The dropped ending is just jaring. The music builds so well to the last few notes that the deletion robs the listener of the entire effect of the music.

[@LisaMoore]

Yes, sorry - you're not the first person to comment. I'm not sure why this happened. I'll have to find the original and reload it. Argh.

[@ellenmeltzer9930]

This is b e a u t i f u l. It has calmed the wind outside and in. Thank you.

[@froscoe1]

Goodness, I love this. I fell in love with this stunning final aria from Satyagraha by Glass. I love your beautiful interpretation. Thank you.

[@LisaMoore]

Thank you so much!

[@TheRealOriginalDiegoM]

She did an amazing job and I’m really happy to see she stayed true to the original piece (many people have such a big head they want to put their own touch on it...not her)!

[@LisaMoore]

Thank you for your comments! ❤️

[@TheRealOriginalDiegoM]

@@LisaMoore wow! Didn’t expect you to see my comment! I’ve heard this song a thousand times and you really did it justice. Thank you!

Learned this during corona

[@LisaMoore]

Thank you. Enjoy learning this.

[@TheRealOriginalDiegoM]

Also can’t get over how perfect the birds chirp fit in the music

[@jmlfa]

Bravo! Your interpretation is second to none, divine ... peaceful.

[@LisaMoore]

thank you so much!!

[@marianolorenzoaparicio4837]

Wonderful music. It´s like God´s music: relaxing...

[@marianolorenzoaparicio4837]

God give you a lot of talent: One of the best perfomances of this music. Thank you

[@Skirne]

This is possibly my single favorite piece of music in the world. Your meditative performance of it here is probably the most beautiful rendition I've ever heard. What a joy it must be to inhabit that space and to play it so very well. Thank you.

[@LisaMoore]

thank you!

[@Fabian7227]

Mine also Skirne

[@petermalach9185]

Gorgeous

[@timeckert9896]

Thanks, it's wonderful

[@him21016]

Thank you for this. I have attempted this piece many times myself, ... you play it very, very well

[@LisaMoore]

Thank you so much. It's challenging, to say the least, but very beautiful. I appreciate your comments very much.

[@newsungsails3651]

This video is beautiful and also very helpful. As a beginner, I find the fingering of this piece to be in places quite tricky, but watching you play offered useful hints.

[@alanncasse8058]

Quite easy to learn, super hard to master

[@sylvia1124]

Lovely!

[@LaserGryph]

Kinda confused as to why it was cut off at the end. Nice performance, though. :>

[@MonoIce350s]

[Sanskrit translated] The Lord said: I have passed through many a birth and many have you. I know them all, but you do not. Yet by my creative energy, I consort with nature and come to be in time. Whenever the law of righteousness withers away and lawlessness arises, then do I generate myself on Earth. I come into being age after age and take a visible shape and move a man with men for the protection of good, thrusting the evil back and setting virtue on her seat again.

[@AngelMCorzo]

!Divino!

[@clutteredminds672]

Hey Lisa, you probably won’t read this but i’ll try anyway. On the last page of the sheets my left hand is supposed to play C-E. I can reach CD but CE is a bit much. Do you just play the E as that is in the melody or E-E? Excellent performance btw, probably my favourite interpretation of it..

[@MaestroBordeu]

Mmm is very important to reach de CE, because the C is part of the bass melody FBCE, and the C is part of that melody going in the scale from E to E. Its also used in the "middle section" when it starts with the FBCE. Try to reach the 10th, with some time you will do it uncomforably and with more time it becomes comfortable.

[@mattshum1350]

This piano arrangement, with the double arpeggios in the right hand, are reminiscent of the "benedicion de dieu" (I forgot the whole title) piece by Liszt...

[@LisaMoore]

many thanks for your comment!

[@joanmartin-royo614]

Outstanding performance of this masterpiece! Thank you Philip Glass & Lisa Moore!! ❤️❤️ But why the last bars are missing? 😢

[@LisaMoore]

Good question!

[@barbarasmith6005]

The recording cut off before she finished playing.

[@PSearPianist]

I really enjoyed your laid-back playing of this. I'm curious about how you used your tablet in the performance. Were you using a timed scrolling setting - which would be ideal for music of this sort, which has no pauses or opportunities to lift the hands to flip the pages - or were you using a Bluetooth pedal?

[@LisaMoore]

+PSearPianist I use the forscore app on the ipad 2 air and a bluetooth foot pedal called "pageflip firefly'. thanks for your comments. glad you like the laid back feel:)

[@PSearPianist]

+Lisa Moore Thanks for that, Lisa. It is fascinating how tablets are being used more and more by pianists, particularly in the USA. It is a shame that - as far as I can see - no-one has ever started a discussion forum anywhere for techniques for doing this. It is actually a complex subject. I use MobileSheets which is the (only) Android alternative, and I also have an AirTurn Bluetooth pedal which I use at home with a large monitor for practising and playing through scores that I do not want to print!

[@Fabian7227]

Is there like an overwhelming sadness to this music that my innermost self just wants to..die?

[@piperhillfan5485]

Fin manquante.
