Poet’s Corner: An Ode to Beethoven Septet on TSO On Demand!

March 11, 2021

TSO patron Caroline Morgan Di Giovanni was so moved by our recent virtual performance of Beethoven’s Septet on TSO On Demand, she wrote this beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing your words, Caroline!

Beethoven in the Stars

Seven musicians stand on seven stars
sharing their artistry to play together

We watch and listen from our distant places
some here, some there, a global audience

The players enter into a communion
not only with each other but with him

The genius remote from his surroundings
but deep in the interior of music

He found the chords and tempo to compose
a chamber piece of such exquisite beauty

That we are lifted high beyond our ken
into a constellation free of time.
