Mozart — Symphony №41, C-Major KV551
Jupiter and the Marriage of Figaro
Hearts pounding to the rhythm of the music,
rising and falling.
The concert hall dark, heads turned
to the stage eyes focused
on the maestro excitedly conducting
his arms moving up and down
faster and then slower — to the rhythm.
The atmosphere is tangible
thick with emotion.
Bodies erect in anticipation
craving the sounds of the strings
and percussion playing the
melodious strains of Jupiter,
waiting for the moment when
The Marriage of Figaro will erupt,
shaking the concert hall.
Mozart’s masterpiece mesmerizing
his crowd of awed listeners
listening in the dark for the
light of a fiery Jupiter.
