The Saddest Noise from 'The Lost Birds' by Christopher Tin


On Saturday night amid the silliness in the hall, I photographed Mrs Trellis in her vintage 1970s dress looking fab.
Before she left, (wafting her money like Crystal Carrington) , she told me to listen to this piece of music if I got the chance.
She knows I’m a fan of Christopher Tin’s work but I have not heard of his lost Birds work before so after a root around I found it only this morning as I took the dogs for their first wee stop before HTC ( Hubby of Trendy Carol) picks them up for the day as I’m in college.

It kind of takes your breath away in its beauty

Not something you expect in a dark Welsh lane……at dawn…..on a Tuesday morning.

    Thank you and good morning, may you drift through beauty in your mind today,-Mary

    Beautiful but I couldn't decipher a word they were singing, is it in a different language, not English?

    Clearly not a Dynasty fan old chap - Mrs T should have been wafting her money like KRYSTLE Carrington.

  9. I couldn't make out the lyrics so I Googled it and found it is based on Emily Dickinson's poem The Saddest Noise, The Sweetest Noise. Here is a link to that:

    Mrs Trellis looks lovely and is obviously a very kind lady. It's a shame you make fun of her, many times you've made fun of the gifts she has given or left for you, whether it's what the gift is or how it's wrapped.

    1. I’ve never made fun of her ever…her gifts are part of her character and you are a fool of grand proportions if you think otherwise

    2. These constant and rather obvious complaints remain bizarre and I suspect I know fully from whom they are coming from

  15. *sigh*... and moving right along...the music seemed like echoes from a long ago place. To see it coming from such young folk was just such a gorgeous juxtaposition, wasn't it?

  16. I loved learning more about Mrs Trellis, she seems so kind and cultured. Thoughtful to know what her friend John wants, needs [the little wall gifts etc], will enjoy hearing. I absolutely adored her casino night look, that dress that fur great haircut. Lovely.
