A Resurrection of Sorts

This blog has laid dormant for quite some time but finding the capacity to write what may sometimes be lengthy tracts is somewhat limited on Facebook though I will be keeping that page alive nevertheless.
To start the ball rolling again I've posted this image; an A4 sized sketch which is one  many sketches done in support of my latest project exploring the link(s) between visual art and music. This isn't a journey into synaesthesia but may well feature some aspects of this. Let's just see how it all pans out.

This is a composite built up listening to the Sanctus from J. S. Bach's B minor Mass. The musical structure emanating from the sound of this piece and the patterns of the notes on the stave suggest, - to me, - the imagery of hidden pinnacles, the point tops of coniferous trees and ancient artefacts such as standing stones and ancient ecclesiastical buildings.The painter David Caspar Friedrich and the composer Robert Schumann's romantic lieder depicting the solitary wanderer come to mind as does the work of J. R. R. Tolkien. But more of that anon in future postings.
