Ratilio is a Lithuanian
folk music and dance ensemble associated with Vilnius University. Founded in
1968, it is one of the oldest in Lithuania. Its members draw on their varied
backgrounds during performances, which include storytelling using regional
dialects. The performers follow specific regional traditions. It maintains and
expands its repertoire through ongoing researches and contacts made during its
international travels. The ensemble uses traditional musical elements,
including the kanklės, ragai, daudytė, skudučiai, and the multipart harmonies
of the sutartinė.
The painting evokes the
peaceful charm of rural life through a gentle countryside scene. The pond
provides a natural gathering place, where ducks animate the water and attract
the viewer’s attention. King’s characteristic attention to landscape, light and
everyday activities creates an atmosphere of simplicity and tranquillity.
Daughter of Magda and Goebbels,
Helga lived a life of tranquillity during the war, enjoying the company of her
five younger siblings, parents and nannies. But soon, that came crashing down.
In April of 1945, she was sent to live with her whole family in the
Führerbunker. On May 1, 1945, she was murdered by her own parents.
For years, she had been
told lies of how great Germany was, how the Germans were winning the war, and
others. She stopped believing them soon enough. She was twelve years and eight
months old. She was first given morphine to knock her out. Then, a cyanide
capsule was crushed into her mouth. She woke up and fought against her destiny.
O poema aborda a transformação interior provocada pela
passagem do tempo, simbolizada pelo anoitecer. A perda de claridade não
representa apenas obscuridade, mas também uma nova forma de compreensão. Ao
anoitecer, o sujeito descobre que certas perdas permitem esclarecer sentimentos
e aceitar a própria vulnerabilidade. A noite torna-se, paradoxalmente, um
espaço de revelação, onde a sombra pode anunciar um novo amanhecer. A imagem da
vidraça aberta ao mar sugere uma abertura à esperança, à liberdade e ao desconhecido.
Piper you’ve a song to sing and will
you sing today
I’m feeling like a wildfire, will you
guide my way
Rushing through the underbrush until
I see my next turn
Cover me in roses, set a course for
wind-borne
Tip a glass for temperance, dip me in
red wine
I’ve a dagger and a poem at my side.
Piper called, "you lead yourself by
coming you undone
The veils upon your eyelids, the
dragons on your tongue
Listen close, you’ll know them by the
hawthorn and the moonbeam
Give a bit o’ ribbon round and lеave
it as an offering
Hear thе rounds of lovers calling "dance us with a kiss
So in parting here the love we never
miss".
Bellow for the eyes to see a
brightness to what’s known
Bellow for the lungs to breathe and
find their way back home
Bellow for the undertow, teach me
through the falling
Show me every fear till I can dance
with them till morning
Bellow for to summon every heart and
set it free.
Piper you’ve an opening to do what
you must do
The dams are bound for breaking so
you let the river move
Though there are a’twists and turns
the storm will see you through
If you keep your compass aimed by
your own roots.
The song explores self-discovery, courage
and personal transformation. Through mystical imagery drawn from nature, the
song presents a journey towards emotional freedom and inner wisdom. The dagger
symbolises strength and the ability to confront difficulties, while the poem
represents creativity, sensitivity and the power of words. The Piper acts as a
guide, encouraging the individual to face fears, embrace change and trust their
instincts.
Johan Tirén’s
Jämtlandssägen evokes the folklore, traditions and rugged landscapes of
Jämtland, a region in northern Sweden. The painting reflects the artist’s
interest in rural life, local identity and the relationship between people and
their natural surroundings. Its title, meaning approximately "A Jämtland
Legend", suggests a narrative rooted in regional storytelling and cultural
memory. Through its atmosphere and subject matter, the work invites viewers to
imagine an older world where nature, legend and everyday life intertwine.
O poema de Emily Dickinson celebra o poder da imaginação na
criação da beleza. Através de elementos simples, como um trevo e uma abelha, a
autora demonstra que a essência de uma pradaria não depende da abundância
material, mas da capacidade de sonhar e transformar a realidade. A repetição
reforça a simplicidade da mensagem, enquanto o final introduz uma reflexão
subtil: a fantasia pode substituir até os elementos naturais. Assim, a
imaginação torna-se fonte inesgotável de criação e liberdade.
"Hermana que sientes este llamado, esmomento de reencontrarnos y de dejar con
nuestro rezo en la tierra un legado que honre a nuestras abuelas y que un día
nuestras nietas digan , así se reunión nuestras ancestras."
"Abuelitas aquí estamos sus hijitas ,honrando sus enseñanzas y
medicina, gracias abuelas por abrirnos los caminos para construir juntas un
nuevo destino."
The painting is a
luminous landscape painting that celebrates nature’s tranquillity and intricate
beauty. A magnificent tree dominates the composition, its spreading canopy
formed by countless delicate marks and vibrant shades of green, gold, yellow
and white. Meditation emerges deeply. The richly textured foliage creates a mesmerising effect, suggesting
sunlight filtering through the branches. Shen transforms nature into a contemplative
sanctuary, inviting quiet reflection.
É
uma colina onde estão os corpos dos que morreram.
Nela
há muito que crescem as cerejeiras. Todos os anos,
com
a passagem das estações, vêmo-las em flor.
Talvez
na sua seiva passe o espírito dos que apenas receberam
o
silêncio que se segue aos combates.
Eram soldados; tinham
por isso de matar. Obedeciam a ordens.
A
morte era para eles uma cerimónia e se depois partiram para
Kudan
é porque a vida já não lhes pertencia.
Outrora
ao amadurecerem as cerejas, principiavam a colhê-las,
mas
compreenderam que as iam depois perder.
O tempo passou
por ali mais depressa. Agora que idade têm?
in,
Das Mesmas Fontes
No poema, a beleza das flores no pomar de Kudan contrasta com a memória trágica
da guerra. As cerejeiras, que renascem em cada primavera, simbolizam a
continuidade da natureza perante a morte dos soldados. A obediência às ordens
militares revela a perda de liberdade individual, enquanto a juventude é interrompida.
A pergunta final sobre a idade dos mortos reforça a passagem do tempo e a
impossibilidade de recuperar essas vidas.
Paula
León é a compositora da canção que enumera elementos de paz, exteriores e interiores. Num mundo, onde o "terrorismo" diário é tão constante, parar e escutar esta melodia, estes versos, pode ser alívio.

Topham’s Italian Games (1882) captures a lively moment of traditional
Italian village life. It shows a young woman and a sweet child who hides an orange outdoors, absorbed in playful activities. Warm colours and delicate details enhance its charm, inviting
viewers to imagine the sounds, movement and communal spirit of everyday life in
nineteenth-century Italy.
The painting exemplifies the
Danish painter’s skill in formal portraiture. The painting presents its subject
with dignity, composure and quiet elegance, reflecting the conventions of early
twentieth-century society. Bache’s attention to facial expression, clothing and
posture conveys both individuality and social standing.
Jupiter inspires
artists and scientists with its beauty. In this image, South is up, and the
enhanced colour evokes an exotic marble and childhood joy. The original image
was captured by Juno Cam, the camera on NASA's Juno mission in orbit around
Jupiter. This image was taken on Juno's 22nd close pass by Jupiter on Sept. 12,
2019.
Os anjos são seres espirituais, imortais e criados por Deus
que agem como mensageiros, guardiões e intermediários entre o divino e a
humanidade. No poema, a Sra. Emily teve deles, uma visão. Muito belo.
O Aeres Guitar Quartet foi fundado em 2021 pelas violonistas
Liss Alva (Alemanha), Margaréta Lakner (Hungria), Masha Sova (Rússia) e Luisa
Khandro (Alemanha) durante os estudos na Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von
Weber, em Dresden. Ao longo de quatro anos de aulas e inúmeros concertos, o
grupo desenvolveu uma sonoridade singular.
As quatro musicistas compartilham a paixão por descobrir
novos universos sonoros na guitarra e por expandir as fronteiras tradicionais
do instrumento. O seu repertório cresce continuamente graças a arranjos e
composições próprias, que elas elaboram ora com um caráter marcado pelo
*groove*, ora com uma atmosfera envolvente.

Chronicle most commonly refers to Gore Vidal's Narratives of Empire (published in paperbacks by Vintage International), which is also widely known
as the American Chronicle Series.
The painting captures a
humorous moment of temptation and mischief. Known for his lively genre scenes,
the French painter often portrayed everyday characters in amusing situations.
The composition invites viewers to consider how circumstances can encourage
dishonesty. Chocarne-Moreau combines realism with gentle comedy, transforming
an ordinary encounter into a witty reflection on human weakness, opportunism
and moral choices.
O poema explora a intensidade do amor e a dor da perda. A luz
solar, inicialmente vibrante, transforma-se em vazio, sugerindo que o excesso
de luminosidade pode cegar, tal como a paixão perturba a consciência. A
recordação do encontro amoroso contrasta com o presente deserto, marcado pela
ausência e pela perda de sentido. O olhar, outrora promessa de infinito, perdeu
os seus contornos e horizontes.
Actually brought a tear
to my eye. Some of those colour grades were so good I had to open my eyes wider
to soak them in. Your accent and your poetry, it all combined to make a
poignant statement. I might not feel exactly how you feel, but somehow I felt
it anyway. Wow, well done.
O poema valoriza a palavra poética pela luz e valoriza quem a procuraa. A expressão do título sugere uma procura de
transparência interior, afastando a confusão e as ilusões (nevoeiro). Os versos transmitem serenidade, mas também uma exigência ética: ver claramente implica reconhecer a
beleza, a verdade e a fragilidade da existência.
The painting presents
an intimate scene charged with quiet mystery and emotional tension. A young
woman appears absorbed in a private confidence, her expression suggesting that
she is guarding something from those around her. Blaid’s attention to gesture,
facial expression and subtle details transforms an apparently ordinary moment
into a psychological narrative, inviting viewers to wonder what hidden story
lies behind the woman’s enigmatic silence.
O madrigal é uma forma poética curta, de tom lírico, amoroso,
bucólico ou elogioso, que nasceu na Itália no século XIV e se ligou
profundamente à música. Muito belo, sr. Eu-génio.
This painting presents
an unsettling vision of American life shaped by the shadow of conflict. The
painting combines ordinary domestic imagery with an atmosphere of tension,
vulnerability and uncertainty. The work explores fear, resilience and the
psychological effects of war, suggesting that violence can influence people
even when battles occur far from their homes and communities.
Naima is a tender,
meditative jazz ballad from Coltrane’s 1960 album, Giant Steps.Juanita Naima Grubbs (also known as
Juanita Austin) was Coltrane's first wife and gave the name to the composition. She stood by Coltrane during a difficult
period as he worked to overcome his heroin and alcohol addiction. The
composition’s recurring harmonic structure gives it a hypnotic quality,
allowing subtle variations in melody and expression. "Naima" remains one of
Coltrane’s most beautiful and enduring compositions.
O poema tem sempre de nos convencer primeiro, para gostarmos
dele e o incorporarmos no nosso entendimento. Ainda que as palavras não nos
sejam próximas. Pode até acontecer que desconheçamos o significado de uma ou
outra palavra e que os possíveis sinónimos nos levem a dispersos e
inconclusivos caminhos e motivos. Um esforço que teremos de fazer pela
compreensão do todo, de forma a que o sentido ganhe uma dimensão pacífica de
leitura pessoal ou subjetiva.
A simbologia dos quatro elementos - Fogo, Terra, Ar e Água -
representa as forças fundamentais da natureza e da psique humana, tendo raízes
na filosofia grega antiga. Aqui, no melhor da música portuguesa.
