DOWNLOAD YOUR FREE COPY OF THIS ROMANTIC PIANO MUSIC Song of the Forgotten Rose Original lyrics for "Theme for Young Love" A Wedding Poem by S. Pena Young LYRICS In the Garden of Life, Midnight hid the Scarlet Rose. Wilted and torn, She cried to the heavens, Petals upturned, Imploring of God, That Grace come down from the mountain. In this land journeyed a stalwart traveler. Alone, He had conquered roads forgotten. This path had led him through Hills and valleys. His search for Beauty. God, Looking down upon creation, Saw what they could not see. Hope in the hands of the Great Orchestrator , In the form of a rose and a man.

Classical music from the Baroque era set the groundwork for contemporary classical music .  The Baroque Period in classical music boasted the creation of opera, the abandonment of the church modes, and new exciting musical forms like the Baroque Suite.

Jennifer Higdon , Blue Cathedral San Francisco Symphony Orchestra , Stephane Deneve (Conductor) PROGRAM NOTES : “ blue cathedral” Blue…like the sky. Where all possibilities soar. Cathedrals…a place of thought, growth,  spiritual expression…serving as a symbolic doorway in to and out of this world. Blue  represents all potential and the progression of journeys. Cathedrals represent a place of  beginnings, endings, solitude, fellowship, contemplation, knowledge and growth. As I  was writing this piece, I found myself imagining a journey through a glass cathedral in  the sky. Because the walls would be transparent, I saw the image of clouds and blueness  permeating from the outside of this church. In my mind's eye the listener would enter from the back of the sanctuary, floating along the corridor amongst giant crystal pillars,  moving in a contemplative stance. The stained glass windows ' figures would start moving with song, singing...
