“Fly away on the wings of the wind” was written by Russian composer Alexander Borodin as a part of his “Prince Igor” opera. The composer uses here the features of Russian folk music very dear to my heart❤️


Fly away on wings of wind
To native lands, our native song,
To there, where we sang you freely,
Where we were so carefree with you.
There, under sultry skies,
With bliss the air is full,
There, to the whisper of the sea, mountains doze in the clouds.
There, the sun shines so brightly,
Bathing [our] native mountains in color.
In the meadows, roses bloom luxuriously,
And nightingales sing in the green forests;
And sweet grape grows.
There is more carefree for you, song…
And so fly away there!
 
It may not be a popular choice these days, but I really do love the opera.
Perhaps I run the risk of sounding a little bourgeois (a nod to you here Luc):

Music for Our Times

My love for the opera started a few years ago when I took the opportunity to go and see Mozart's 'The Magic Flute' when visiting Vienna. I didn't understand the words (or much of the plot and symbolism at the time), but what a powerful experience! I was hooked on the unapologetic grandeur, the drama, and the demand that I needed to go away and think (and learn) about what I had just witnessed.
I won't try to waffle on about the opera (or post a video of a favourite performance) when I think this guy has some good points to make about opera generally:

 
I have been writing music since I was 6 years old. This year I released an album on February 3 and another album yesterday, September 21, 2022. I know that I am not a familiar name in the forums even though I have been a member for some time. I just made my newbie post a few minutes ago after years of constructing the rough draft in my head. So before my neuro divergent brain stops me I figured I'd post this as well. Here's the link to my new album. I must add the disclaimer that my music is not like the mainstream genres of today. It is what I translate from the energies around me. I am but a conduit. Interpreting the frequencies into auditory form with guitars and piano and my computer. Thank you for listening if you choose to do so.
