Extraordinary! On the page it looked, nothing. The beginning simple, almost comic.
Just a pulse - bassoons, basset horns - like a rusty squeezebox.
And then, suddenly - high above it - an oboe, a single note, hanging there unwavering.
And till a clarinet took over and sweetened it into a phrase of such delight!
This was no composition by a performing monkey! This was a music I'd never heard.
Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing, it had me trembling.
It seemed to me that I was hearing a voice of God.
