Concert dans un jardin .
Quel charme troublant avons ressenti , ma femme et moi , en écoutant récemment dans un merveilleux jardin , de la musique Renaissance et baroque allant de Thomas Morlay à Haendel en passant par Purcell , Vivaldi et Telemann . Cette musique était jouée par un petit orchestre comportant un véritable orgue et aussi une épinette ou chantée par un petit chœur . Nous avons tressailli d 'un bonheur ineffable . L ' harmonie du jardin se mêlait avec les harmonies des sons . De tels plaisirs sont rares . Ils vous rajeunissent . Ils sont de tous les temps . Ce sont des plaisirs de l ' âme .
Concert in a garden .
What a moving charm my wife and I felt recently in a wonderful garden listening to Renaissance and baroque music , from Thomas Morlay to Haendel via Purcell , Vivaldi and Telemann . This music was played by a small band including a real organ and also a spinet or sung by a small choir . We are thrilled with an ineffable happiness . The garden ' s harmony mixed with sounds ' harmony . Such pleasures are unfrequent . They make us rejuvenated . They are eternal . They are pleasure of the soul .

La musique était ciel.
Le jardin beau.
Maison bienvenue
Merci Boucoup Monsieur Michel. Mon problème ?
Structure de la phrase.
I love Purcell's Dido and Aeneas. It's so sad and beautiful.
What a great gathering. A wonderful garden party. What a blessing!!
Nice to see you back with a great blog as usual.
Wonder if the birds in the park listened to the music too.
how enchanting! it's such a pleasant feeling, to be able to listen to good music. in a garden nevertheless!
p/s i'll be strong.
Wonderful to have you back! Hope you enjoyed your vacation!
Welcome back Michel! You have been missed. Hope you had a great time!
You are right Michel, that type of music is great for the soul. We have a local band that plays weekly in a park near me. I love going there to relax, and just become one with the music.
Have a great day!!!
What a lovely way to spend your time , Its nice to have you back
How beautiful, cultured & civilised! Glad that you enjoyed yourselves so much & Thanks for sharing the lovely pictures!!
All the best, A.

...submitted a sketch to ArtExchange that was inspired by YOU. Remember it is a rough sketch only.
...you were missed,
Your pictures are beautiful! I am so glad you had such a wonderful experience!
oh, que j'aurais bien voulu l'écouter et le voir! J'adore la musique Baroque et Renaissance.
Albany est une grande ville dans l'état de New York - le capital, actuellement. Potsdam est un petit village dans la region du Nord de l'état de New York (en anglais, on appelle cette region "Northern New York"), très proche du Canada. J'allais à l'université de Potsdam... et je l'adorais. J'aime les petits villages.
Merci de TOUT COEUR pour votre compliment sur mon français. Chacun me pense comme specialiste de français, mais je me suis specialisée en musique à l'université. J'ai suivi une specialisation secondaire en français selon les désirs de mes profs de français. Malheureusement, j'ai appris que j'enseigne le français beaucoup mieux que la musique... après trois ans à l'université! - un peu trop tard pour changer de specialisation. Alors j'étudie le français pour m'amuser.

Oh how wonderful! Surely a pleasure of the soul!
Did you have a nice week?
mmm... I love Vivaldi!
I just bought a cd of his music the other day. I wish I could've been there. It sounds fabulous! 
That sounds like a wonderful time
Beautiful Michel!!
I can imagine that. It must be amazing, to experience the combination of music with the sounds of Nature.
aah.. that might have been such a lovely experience! feel great for you (at the same time also envious
)
Have a blessed day!
Emily
That sounds very lovely. =)
Cela semble très charmant.
The Joy your words express.....It's like being there listening with you!!! Missed you! Glad you are back.
Welcome back. You have been missed. What pleasure it must have been to enjoy fine music in such a lovely garden. It would be so soul satisfying. While in England I heard the choir of St. Paul's Cathedral sing accompanied by the cathedral's great organ. The music soared to the heavens.
Thank you for such a beautiful blog! I always enjoy your blogs because, not only are they extermely poetic, but they include beautiful pictures for all to enjoy! Thank you so much! I always look forward to your new blogs.
Ooooo that sounds absolutly magical, like something from the movies. *sigh* I'm glad you like my site, thank you.

you are right michel! it is those small pleasures which make life so worthwhile!
What a delightful day! Thanks for sharing the photographs.
Its called Making Music Ron
I love Baroque music! You mention some great composers there - Handel, Vivaldi, Purcell and Telemann - four of my favorites. A Happy Bastille Day to you, Michel, and I've posted something for you on my blog today.
Bienvenue de retour! Les photos sont très belles, j'aime beaucoup Vivaldi et Handel.
Wonderful! @-}-}---
'Sounds' like you had a great time
Something very rare and unique it seems...probably can't find something like this in NYC anytime.. How often do you go to the mini concert?
Answer to Badtzmarugirl31 - ; I go to the miniconcert casually . like a flower that we pick at the side of a lane . / Michel
Your words and photos also feed the soul. How much I smiled and felt at peace thinking of these sounds with the colours and scents of a fine summer day. Thank you!
With aloha,
Linda
