Moments In Time
© Irene Lundgaard
Many hours spent in the studio working on new music, outside the sun has been shining and life goes on as normal. Inside the studio there is no natural light, the outside world is shut out and time stands still, or at least it does for the duration of the recording as one attempts to capture a moment in time, that can withstand the test of time. When all is finished and it’s time to take the music out into the world, where all the hard work, time and effort can be dismissed in an instant, it’s important to remember that in regard to any anticipation one might feel about possible reactions or response, one must not hold one’s breath.

The hard work cannot be dismissed in an instant, and your music is surely the product of human ingenuity whether people like it or not.
Do you really believe in the test of time?
There are many fine compositions by lesser composers from the previous centuries even if most are adequately appreciated or should I say played and used today. That’s my 25 cents.

You are very welcome to my blog Donald.
Yes, I do believe in the test of time when it comes to music, some songs are of their time and sound as such, but other songs sounds timeless and it is hard to pinpoint what era they are from at least on a first listen.
When talking about the test of time I am off course thinking in terms of decades and a lifetime and not of centuries and generations.
To me standing the test of time is not so much a question of will the music survive and still be around in ten or 100 years, but will it still sound as fresh and as vibrant as it did, or seemed to, on the day it was written.
