A Philosophy of Music

Posted on 8/10/2008 at 12:22:28 PM

Get this, from Victor Zuckerlandl, a philosopher of music:

Hearing a melody is hearing, having heard, and about to hear, all at once. Every melody declares to us that the past can be there without being remembered, the future without being foreknown.

I haven’t had much time to write but we have been out and about all over the place at some exceptionally beautiful weddings. This past weekend in particular - Hoyt Arboretum, then a gorgeous little B&B out near Carlton called the Brookside Inn, Lakeside Gardens, Elk Cove Vineyards, the Gerding Theater at the Portland Armory, the Shakespeare Garden at Washington Park, Youngberg Hill Vineyards - even out at the coast in Garibaldi (a rare thing for us but a lovely wedding despite horrific weather).

I have many pictures to post and will get on it once I get through the weekend… but for now here’s one from last weekend.

This is Bret at Cathedral Park - we had just arrived and Bret was about to set up. In this picture he is walking through the ceremony site. I thought this was about the most RAD place for a wedding ceremony ever.

Gorgeous. The place is aptly named.

Here’s another - I can’t resist. This is Scott and Danielle at the Brookside Inn. I loved the weeping willow! (note Danielle’s Bridesman, too! This is seriously a happening trend, guys).
