Virility and Sensitivity

A little over a week ago I was in Vermont to watch my husband Clayton Haslop perform six concerts in five days.

The last of these took place outdoors at the beautiful Trapp Family Lodge overlooking Vermont’s highest mountain. You probably remember the Trapp family from the movie ‘The Sound of Music.’

It was a perfect evening. Calm, low 70s, wispy clouds and stillness permeated the air. Even the Austrian cows in the pasture next to us stopped mooing. Mozart and Mendelssohn have an effect on four-leggeds as well as humans.

Clayton came on stage, performed the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto and received a standing ovation. His playing was astoundingly beautiful and thrilling to watch. He has the magnetic presence Sir Thomas Beecham referred to as ‘the maximum of virility and the utmost of sensitivity.’

Then fireworks lit up the late evening sky.

What an exciting end to a beautiful week. One thing which clearly stood out is the immense power soothing classical music has on the mind.

Mozart’s Harp and Flute Concerto preceded Clayton’s Mendelssohn Violin Concerto performance. If you don’t have either of these pieces of music in your CD collection, I highly recommend you add them. The Mozart is one of those sublime compositions whose gentle, angelic mood is unparalleled in music. This isn’t static, go-nowhere music, without a climax and a story, but a sophisticated yet simple work of genius.

When you listen to truly positively charged music, your brain can’t help but relax and rejuvenate. It’s why using high frequency music is a must for any age.

Get the package that has it all – positive music, inspiring words and world class performances. A clear, focused mind is your most important asset.

Warm Regards,
Tania Gabrielle French

P.S. My music has graced the stages of the Vermont Mozart Festival in year past, and will again in the future. The director of the festival recently commissioned me to compose brand new music for the New York Chamber Soloists. In the very near future you’ll be able to hear a sneak preview of this music. Sound is a remarkably potent tool to help you tap into your deepest inner resources. Begin using positively charged sounds today by ordering The Secret Power of Words and Music 5 CD package.
