This time for the very little issues. It is virtually a shame to compose about some principles of conduct at a time when the planet is modifying and there are numerous other critical issues about.
Was it in a movie where by the main character verified that the most useful lesson dad and mom ever gave was to know the principles of decency? Being aware of this and following the principles of conduct opens a lot of doorways.
It took place a extensive time back, but I recall the surge of thoughts even now. A live performance of the rock opera “Lāčplēsis” was done on the Burtnieku stage. The air was shaking, it seemed that every person was virtually frozen, listening to “Minimal Little one at the Crossroads” by Jānis Sproģ. It was not the famous live performance of the Revival time period, but it appeared that listeners not only remembered the 1988 worry of the youngster, Latvia, for his life, but the youngsters of those people listeners and the little ones of the young children inherited the further essence of this song … and shut up when the track is sung. At that time he applied to odor “french fries” on the outside phase, but there had been incredibly few people today who deemed it suitable to try to eat and pay attention at the exact time, and then he handed by, eaters and drinkers did not sit down in the audience, due to the fact Latvians are a nation of singers. “Little one, do not take in when the music is sung!” said the poet Imants Ziedonis, and so it will be.
But time passes. Humanity has been attacked by a pandemic, dwelling arrest has started, customary routines and virtues have transformed. In actual life, we seldom satisfied buddies and acquaintances, and now it appeared like actors and singers wandered into our extended loved ones as very well. Every single was like their personal, and during the dwelling-sitting period performs and concerts, the audience wished to try to eat and consume. These days tv and remote hearing have the prospect to end, to permit the viewer to drag their flabby bodies to the refrigerator, that is, for a pint of beer, that is, for a slice of sausage. And then the demonstrate goes on all over again. Despite the fact that at other occasions the present remained unnoticed if there ended up additional fascinating conversations or items to do.
Back again in the genuine temples of artwork, the theater-goers are no lengthier capable to seem at the actors in the silence they had just before the collecting bans, numerous have comfortable, the singers have even begun to pray at concerts – possibly it is doable to behave nicely much more politely. There is also a truth: coming, conference pals, basking in people is also worthwhile, but you will enjoy the theater later, or it will not be shown on Tv. It should be additional that some concert organizers pretty seldom even imagine in particular of hungry spectators, mainly because that is how it typically is: spectators are not only hungry for cultural pleasures, but also for stomach pleasures. A single of these unusual was the just introduced Cēsi Art Competition.
New destinations need new traditions. Our silver grove, the beautiful stage of Mežaparks, has just professional a genuine music and dance pageant “Tune dances, dance sings”. The live performance was a religious enjoyment, a real cultural coexistence. Moreover, the new outside phase area no lengthier smells like burnt potatoes or sausages – with a intelligent message, the foods place is further more absent from the rows of spectators, dancers and choristers. But as it turns out, Latvians aren’t just a country of singers, in fact, we secretly know we are a nation of eaters. I don’t know how a lot of people snacked on the sandwiches and chips they introduced with them listening to Emil Melngailis’ “Midsummer Eve”, how many went for beer and cabbage when listening to “Gaismas piliji”. Even now other folks, proper there in the center of the song, keeping eco-pleasant plastic cups, are again completely delighted and warm. People today would get up and wander, sit, chat and chat or each individual tune … There was in all probability previously some thing to discuss, kin and pals satisfy each and every day at a live performance. “Don’t look at that uncle eat, boy, don’t discover from him. He ate all his tunes, he will not distinguish amongst tracks and salad.”
It goes without expressing that the aspect effects of the pandemic will past for a even though, but we hope that by the 150th anniversary of the Music Pageant and the huge holiday getaway concert, we will be equipped to get well from momentary visits to the fridge.
