David Darling - Cycle Song!

The Track "Cycle Song" is taken from David Darlings fantastic album "Cycles" (1982). Listen and enjoy it.

"Cellist David Darling, best known at the time for his long stint with Paul Winter's Consort, mostly performs spacy ballads on this ECM release. Teamed up in different combinations (three unaccompanied solos, a duet, two trios and a quintet number) with Collin Walcott (who doubles on sitar and tabla), pianist Steve Kuhn, Jan Garbarek (on tenor and soprano), acoustic guitarist Oscar Castro-Neves and bassist Arild Andersen, Darling and his sidemen give the music a wide variety of sounds. However, the sleepy mood is very much in the stereotypical ECM mold, making this set mostly of interest for selected tastes." (Scott Yanow, All Music Guide)

Collin Walcott - sitar, tabla, percussion

Cloudless everyday you fall upon my waking eyes

inviting and inciting me to rise

And through the window in the wall

Come streaming in on sunlight wings

A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no-one sings me lullabies

And no-one makes me close my eyes

And so I throw the windows wide

And call to you across the sky

Soulfully Serene, BEAUTIFUL Music in a STUNNING Video ! :) But of course, it's from YOUR "Oasis" of the Finest of World Music Gems, Tiad ! :) The Soulfully Serene depth of the CELLO blends in SO beautifully with the PIANO, SITAR & GUITAR throughout this enchanting Video ! :)

Tough to decide where I was MORE captivated by the superb collage of BLISSFUL Nature Views enhancing this beautiful composition as I smiled, throughout ! :)

0:53, 1:30, 1:50, 2:45, 3:32, 3:52, 4:20 ..BRAVO ! :)

בקטע המדהים הזה השתמשה ענת אסולין לכראורגפיה לריקוד " נשים מתוך אבן רכה " של להקת המחול הקיבוצית ... אי שם בסוף שנות ה-80 - עבודה מקסימה !

Ever since hearing this piece back in 1986, it has remained one of my favorite and indelible melodies. I find myself, whenever allowing my hands to wander over the keys of my piano, playing either newly created or old familiar songs, one leading to another, never failing to come to a variation on David Darling's Cycle Song. For me, it is like a reach into infinity - always finding deep joy and solace there.

I am so grateful he has hands and I, ears. And vice versa. T.Y. DD AngeChianese
