Musically Inclined Series by Bertie Brown Original Impressionistic Musical Motif Watercolor

Musically Inclined

original impressionistic watercolor of a musical motif: 16 1/2"w x 13 1/2"h

A String Thing

The strings are such

A complicated section,

We say that and invoke

Our greatest affection,

With notes that soar

To the highest of heights

The violins bow frantically

Trying to get it just right!

And notes writ so low

The basses’ brows frown

As they bend down to bow

So low to the ground.

Always self important

No humility, not a trace

They sit right up front

And take up prime stage space.

The rest of the orchestra

Accepts this with grace

Their parts they play well..

They are quite exceptional,

And oh so professional...
