Meningen med musik ~ The purpose of music

Når man sidder og ser Talent tænker man lidt "der kan da ikke være mere talent tilbage i lille bitte Danmark" .. og jeg synes da også det er ved at tynde lidt ud! Men så er det godt at der trods alt hele tiden kommer nye talenter i form a talentfulde børn og unge.

Et rigtig godt eksempel er Camilla og Jonas fra 'Talent 09'.
De er simpelthen så fyldt a musikalitet at det er helt vildt.. og så bliver jeg bare så glad af at se dem spille (:
De er så søde og charmerene med deres kæmpe smil :D Man kan ikke andet end blive i godt humør af at se og lytte til dem.

Og det er da hvad musik handler om.. at bringe glæde og oplevelser gennem et instrument som i sig selv ikke er noget, men sammen med den helt rigtige person bliver til noget magisk. Hvad mere kan man ønske sig..
Jeg kunne ligge en hel dag og lytte, og lade mig fylde med budskaberne i teksterne og glæden i musikken..


When I sit down in front of the telly and watch one of them shows like Britain/America's Got Talent, X-Factor etc. (we just found a winner this friday in the Danish '... Got Talent') I can't help but think "there can't possibly be anymore talent left in tiny Denmark" - and I do think there's longer and longer between the good acts! However, there is, always, comming new talent from kids and young people.

A very good example of this is the 3rd place from our show - Camilla and Jonas (14 and 12 yo).
They are so full of musicality that it's almost not possible :P .. and I just can't stop smiling when I see and hear them play. They're so sweet and charming. I've never seen anyone smile as much as Jonas does (:

And that is what music is all about. To bring joy and experiences through an instrument, which is, in itself, nothing speciel. But with the right person playing it, it turns into something truly magical! What els could you evre need :D
I could just lay on my bed all day long, listening and letting me be filled with the beautiful messages in the lyrics and the joy of the music..


Her kommer lige nogle videoer med en masse talent fra unge mennesker. Nogle er danske, andre er fra andre steder i verden.. og ikke alle helt unge mere ;P :


Here's some videos with lots of talented kids. Some of them are Danish and some of them are from around the world.. and not all kids anymore ;P :


Camilla and Jonas playing 'Café 1930' arr. by Jonas (abd he's only 12! wow)

Camilla and Jonas - 'Tango y Chacoera'

Vera (also from this years Denmarks Got Talent), playing Carl Nielsen's Concert for Violin

Élie Dupuis - Canadian singer/musician playing 'Il Faudra Leur Dire' (I have no idea what he says :P )

Billy Gilman, USA - 'O Holy Night' , I know it's a bit early BUT this is the my favourite version of the song ever made!(or the one on his Christmas album) And so I thought I'd share it with you all (:

Declan Galbraight, UK - 'Tell Me Why', has a very strong message. Even though I've heard it like a million times, when I watch this video and turn it up really high it still makes my eyes a bit wet!

Troye Sivan, Australia - 'For Them' a song written for him, to help raise money for homeless children.

Ariel, Israel, only 8 yrs old in this video but a very gifted pianist! This peice is.. erm.. different :P but please do listen to it, its amazing!! - 'The Cat and the Dog' by Copland

I'll finish off with a beautiful piece sung by the Choir of Westminster Abbey - 'The Lord Bless You and Keep You' by Rutter. One of my (many) favourites (:

Thanks for listening (:
