Dear reader, you know that I, as I say one thing, I say the other. And it is that, definitely, there are things that neither what. And if. I am basically a Chimoltrufian. Last Tuesday, for example, I decided to invite my numerous (hypothetical and / or not), attentive, restless readers to participate in the rehearsals (via Zoom, a wé) of the Coro Pro Música Ensenada, but I didn’t really give many arguments. Well, there goes the one that, for the moment, seems to me the main one: music is the net of the planet.
Making music (and learning how to make it, in the thousand and one ways that there are) is one of the activities that most teach us human beings to be it, even if it sounds half Manfleís. For example, when I am told (or when I am a witness to) that a person can rehearse for hours and hours, what really happens is that I am a witness that a human organism is learning from its limits and its powers, its virtues and his shortcomings and, the coolest thing: I see someone who is developing a solid relationship with the most important being in the world: himself.
A truism, you may claim, but really the only person you are going to have to deal with all your life is yourself, and playing music (or, for that matter, playing sports) can help you in a thousand ways. . I mean, because we can’t all be Miles Davies, Wolfgang Mozart, Diego Maradona or Luciano Pavarotti, but we can all learn to play the mañanitas on the piano or the recorder, I say.
For this reason, I repeat: music is the net of the planet. Incontrovertible truth and also nice, because it even rhymes. That sentence leads me directly and nonstop to another, which I like a lot: ?? Art is long and life is short ??, or in Latin (reading cult) ?? Ars longa, vita brevis ??. Hippocrates said it. It means that ?? Art (knowledge, skill, dexterity) is long (to learn), while life is short ??. In other words, any important task requires a lot of effort and dedication, even if the life of the person undertaking it is short. The complete sentence is: ?? Vita brevis, ars longa, occasio praeceps, experimentum periculosum, iudicium difficile ??. Or in Castilian, ?? The doctrine is long; life short; the occasion, fleeting; the experience, insecure; the trial, difficult … ??.
For the case that concerns me (reiterate the invitation to participate in the Ensenada Pro Music Choir) I have one last consideration: the artistic director of the Choir, Mtro. Javier Carrillo Reséndiz lives up to his surname. Ha I mean, it gives a lot of ?? cheek ??, but the good one. I mean it puts a lot of work to work. This means that we learn a lot. In the long run, that means that one fine day we find ourselves doing things that until recently we thought we couldn’t do. Solfear, for example.
Okay. I tell you again that if you are interested in joining the Ensenada Pro Music Choir, please contact my friend Tere Esquivel. Your email address is
