A lovely piece to just lose yourself in. Forget COVID. Forget the world in general. Here is a brief escape. Come back refreshed and knowing that the world can still be a beautiful place! Enjoy!

A New Direction Perhaps? 
The oboe, played well, is so powerful and so effective with expressing emotion. Are you familiar with the music of Les Miserables? The oboe is used only sparingly, but when you do hear it, it is most beautiful and perfect for expressing the emotion of the scene.

Colin. Just an FYI re “Sound of Silence” YouTube has a rendition done by the Pentatronix. If you have not heard it, I think it at least worth a listen. Still like Disturbed version best though.

Just watched it/listened to it. That is a very impressive sound from 5 voices, but I do prefer the impact of a drum kit, heavy keyboard and electric guitar! Thanks for the thought though as it is always interesting to hear alternative versions. 🙂
