When beauty grows too great to bear
How shall I ease me of its ache,
For beauty more than bitterness
Makes the heart break.
How shall I ease me of its ache,
For beauty more than bitterness
Makes the heart break.

Méditation from the opera Thaïs
Ave Maria! One of my most favorite pieces of music is Méditation from the opera Thaïs by French composer Jules Massenet. According to Wikipedia, this piece is written for solo violin and orchestra, and this opera was first premiered at the Opéra Garnier in Paris on March 16, 1894. Today I came across the American classical violinist Sarah Chang performing Méditation here on YouTube. It is sheer joy to watch Ms. Chang play such exquisitely beautiful music, which seems to flow from her very soul. Truly magnificent!
