'In Tempore Senectutis' by Ernest Dowson
When I am old,
And sadly steal apart,
Into the dark and cold,
Friend of my heart!
Remember, if you can,
Not him who lingers, but that other man,
Who loved and sang, and had a beating heart, -
When I am old !
When I am old,
And all Love's ancient fire
Be tremulous and cold:
My soul's desire !
Remember, if you may,
Nothing of you and me but yesterday,
When heart on heart we bid the years conspire
To make us old.
When I am old,
And every star above
Be pitiless and cold:
My life's one love !
Forbid me not to go :
Remember nought of us but long ago,
And not at last, how love and pity strove
When I grew old !

I only discovered your music in the last six months and I absolutely love that you come from a background in pipe organ, have masterfully performed several Philip Glass pieces, and have incorporated it all into your own ambient music. 'Murmurations' is a truly beautiful and mesmerising piece featured in this video - one can almost imagine a million starlings in a hypnotic dance above the high seas, with sunset splashed across the backdrop! Bravo!
Fantastic and incredible behavior of certain people showing little respect.
So incredibly beautiful
Super fine performance & filming, thank you all so much!
Haunting. Beautiful.
Veramente bellissima! Davvero grazie! Una piccola cosa solo, Sento poco quel giro, quella voce, non so descrivere meglio tecnicamente, Diciamo quella voce malinconica che si sente molto chiaramente nella versione originale, Ecco quella voce mi stringe il cuore ❤️ Qui la avverto appena,....
Comunque sei meraviglioso! Che bello sarebbe poterti parlare
Lovely, as usual.
Entras al templo a escuchar música religiosa y lo que escuchas es como si te partiera un rayo, como si al caminar sobre la tierra se abriera con tus pasos. Es tal vez demasiado sobrecogedor y la gente no lo soporta, por que no puede procesar o simplemente aceptar ser penetrado, que su cuerpo y mente sean invadidos por algo tan grandioso, la verdadera experiencia mistica, no domesticada.
Lovely to hear this on a massive church organ, giving it a whole new and expansive dimension. Excellent playing certainly helps.
Reminds me of a life I used to have.
Better than the original
i love Koyonisatsi very much tho i can't spell it, lol, and you're cute too!
Adrian it is wonderful to watch you play them as well, because watching the pedals helps us "see" the bass figures. I think these are the very best recordings of Phil's dances from the choreographic work by Lucinda. very appreciative of your efforts here in Houston
do you have a video of Dance 4? My dream is that you and Lucinda Childs work together.
Whoa! The sound is truly sublime! and it is an outrageously perfect realization of the score! Bravo to the 108th power!!!!
Are you only going by memory/ear? I dont see any tabs?
Crazy seeing people standing up,cannot imagine walking away from a performance like this..
Glass composed this piece with the intention that it would be played on a pipe organ in a big cathedral. Makes so much more sense this way. Really lovely.
Музыка очень хорошо подойдёт для Интерстеллара.
good work
best thx
I am afraid I have mixed feelings about this performance. In the one hand it is executed perfectly and the sound is majestic! On the other hand the quick passages tend to be blurry. Not as crisp as on a piano. But of course that is due to the acoustics and to the characteristics of the instrument itself. But I am glad you posted this gem and I would have liked to be attending the performance. Thank you.
The quick passages are more resonant than the piano original version. More pulsating. And more crystal like or more like the card of the jugement of the tarot with triumphant trumpets. It's like a warm heart vibrant divine version to heal the body the mind and the spirit. Sounds more like a dream, like a merry go round. But of course my dream remain to see the composer playing it on piano...
Organist plays his ass off here. That’s an excellent image.
If I was there, praying, it would go as follow: "Dear Jesus, thank you for this moment, it's a blessing that I wish to keep with me for eternity".
Un pubblico (scarso) e indisciplinato poco rispettoso dell'esecutore e dell'autore. Non ho parole.😔😔😔
Possibly the most ethereal version I've heard of this work.
Seriously: why do 99% of Phillip Glass's compositions sound virtually identical??
Beautiful
❤
so gentle, marvelous <3
Sure! Here's the translation: In the Tripitaka, we find the Satipatthana Sutta. Augustine of Hippo found the stairway to paradise. And Philip Glass composed the music for it with 'Mad Rush.' This is Unio Mystica.
Lol. Like asking Andy Warhol to paint the Sistine Chapel. It would’ve been a different result if he had played the koyaanisqatsi main theme. Or maybe No Time For Caution.
The beautification of monotony through subtle variations.
Maybe the audience was told to get up and mill around the cathedral during the performance to experience the sound from different places? Otherwise it seems odd that they would just get up and walk around (I don't think they were leaving).
I would have to agree - it appears to be meditative strolling rather than purposeful walking - if not from different places then from different perspectives.
Still undecided whether concert music or martial arts videos have dumber comment sections. Good song though.
I have often joined or departed lunchtime concerts in a dreamlike Werner Herzog-esque manner!
Well done!! The Knee Plays are my favourite from Einstein om the Beach!
Would have totally been there!
It's a shame that only advanced minds can fully comprehend the mysterious beauty of this piece. So many walked away.
I am not a christian, but I think that this music is entirely to their sacred spaces.
Joseph Campbell would agree with you. He said ancient caves with art drawn by "cavemen" could have a spiritual affect. And a cathedral even for a non-Catholic. I don't think these spiritual spaces demand orthodoxy; its society that puts a label on the front of these buildings and spaces.
Not quite of this world.
That was just great. Really enjoyed that.
if love was a sound
wonderful performance. the player really captured the timing that Philip would appreciate. i applaud with tears. completely underrated.
È talmente noiosa questa musica che la gente sta andando via. Alla fine sarà rimasto solo 😂😂
If you took lessons for a few years and decided "Fuck this is getting too hard, i'm gonna be a composer instead", you could still be as good as Philip Glass
I can't tell if this is an insult or a compliment
I see there are some Phillip Glass haters in here.
Not every music is for everyone. My neighbor said it drove her crazy when I played Glass on her piano.
@@vap0rtranz Most people just don't understand the music.
Y la nave principal se llenó, pero muchos se fueron. Qué halago para Dios, resonar de esta forma; y que tristeza que algunos mantengan su distancia. Ese día Adrian Foster levantó a los ladrillos de su cimiento y junto con los que se quedaron se transfiguraron y se fueron al espacio, donde prevaleció la música elevada de Glass, que renunciaba a todo, para interceder por la especie, al minuto 12 se cortó la vibración por nuestro llanto que nos hizo regresar.
Ça me ramène constamment au mouvement perpétuel de la Mer Soit douce où fureur... à chaque instant. Mad rush écrit pour le Dalaï lama en 1979(visite) Newyork Philip Glass
Very wonderful music transporting to the land where all thoughts absorb into a rich rest.
