    Positively one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. Thank you, Thijs Van Leer. Thanks also to Jan, Bert & David.

    There is an enormous church standing in the middle of Koln, Germany and when I found myself standing in sheer awe of it's size and grandeur this was the tune that immediately popped into my head. Sure, it wasn't Strasbourg but hey, close enough for me. If i am ever fortunate enough to go to Europe again Strasbourg, Austria is on my list of places to visit, particularly any cathedral within it's environs.

      @LilHaseProductions Год назад +1

      technically 5 as it transitions between major and minor. The "2nd" note in that arpeggio hops between the natural and the sharp depending on the key of the section. But because the other 3 notes are the same, it really gives an effect that it is the same 4 notes.

    I just took a stroll through the cathedral. I gazed up at it's lofty rafters and felt the coolness of the stone against my palms, my nose sensed the fragrance of the ages wafting through the mighty doors. Outside I skipped through the spring flowers and heard blackbirds sing. Perhaps I was watched by those that lay entombed all around me.

    Era el año 2002 ,1 de Noviembre para ser exactos, y con Thijs estabamos en el teatro Municipal de Viña del Mar. Llamamos al funcionario encargado de los instrumentos, se metió la mano al bolsillo y extrajo un manojo de llaves. Se encamino hacia la parte trasera del escenario y abrio una puerta semiescondida que estaba allí. Empujo un enorme piano hacia afuera y lo colocó casi en el medio del escenario. Lo demás fue un sueño. Thijs se sentó en el taburete y comenzó a tocar esta canción. Fernando, Gonzalo y yo nos mirabamos asombrados. ¡TENIAMO0S UNA VERSIÓN DE LA CATEDRAL DE STRABURGO SOLAMENTE PARA NOSOTROS!!!!! Fue el mejor regalo de esa visita de Focus a Chile en ese año, 2002
