POESIA - Seis Docenas de Flores - ALMO

 POESIA 

                       Seis Docenas de Flores

Desde el jardín de las rosas,
surgen aromas de encantos divinos,
la Madre Natura en estado virginal,
junto al Padre, Creador del Universo.

Entre juegos infantiles crecieron
las voces internas de los sueños,
sueños de despertares de soles y lunas :
alabanzas, amaneceres e ideales.

Sonidos y letras, en franca amistad palpitan,
viendo lecciones de profundidad de vida,
viajes por aire y mar, por distintos rumbos,
desplegando las alas, cual ave mensajera.

Las musas saltaban de gozo espontáneo,
entre costas, llanos, selvas y cordilleras,
en un encuentro silenciosos y rotundo,
dando respuestas al 'yo me pregunto'.

Ser invitado al Templo del Olimpo,
donde conviven la Bondad y la Armonía,
de manera fraterna, de noche y de día,
mirando fluir el río en el estelar tiempo.

Dar y recibir es vivir como mortal,
las ruedas de energía giran sin cesar,
tocando el Cielo desde el Paraíso Terrenal,
hoy, seis docenas de flores se aman por igual.

FILOSOFIA - NUESTRA PALABRA

 

FILOSOFIA

                              NUESTRA  PALABRA

       Parménides, en sus Reglas de Oro para la juventud decía : "Que tus actos y tus costumbres sean un poco mejor de lo que tu pienses que son suficientemente buenos". Esta verdad que asombra por su simpleza, será el triunfo de quien la aplique en la vida diaria.

       El trabajo hecho un poquito mejor de lo que se nos exige ; el estudio, con un poco más de atención ; el diario vivir con un poquito más de lógica, nos conducirá, inevitablemente, a una meta venturosa y al triunfo en la vida.

       La conformidad con nuestros actos nos vuelve perezosos, es una manera de ser soberbios y vanidosos.

       Sólo el humilde alcanzará el triunfo, porque nunca estará conforme consigo mismo y aspira siempre mejorar, ser mejor con sus semejantes, porque cree que siempre podrá actuar mejor.

       El trabajador que hace un poco más y mejor la tarea que le fue encomendada, necesariamente tendrá que progresar en su trabajo. 

       El trabajo del joven es estudiar, y si aplica la regla, culminará brillantemente sus estudios.

       El hombre y la mujer en el hogar, el empleado en sus labores, el legislador, el magistrado, el gobernante, todos, en el cumplimiento de las "Reglas de Oro" que nos dejó el sabio Parménides alcanzaríamos el bienestar y la razón de vivir hasta viejos.

Biography

Early years

Toscanini was born in Parma, Emilia-Romagna, and won a scholarship to the local music conservatory, where he studied the cello. Living conditions at the conservatory were harsh and strict. For example, the menu at the conservatory consisted almost entirely of fish; in his later years, Toscanini steadfastly refused to eat anything that came from the sea.


He joined the orchestra of an opera company, with which he toured South America in 1886. While presenting Aida in Rio de Janeiro on June 25, Leopoldo Miguez, the locally hired conductor, reached the summit of a two-month escalating conflict with the performers due to his rather poor command of the work, to the point that the singers went on strike and forced the company's general manager to seek a substitute conductor. Carlo Superti and Aristide Venturi tried unsuccessfully to finish the work.

In desperation, the singers suggested the name of their assistant Chorus Master, who knew the whole opera from memory. Although he had no conducting experience, Toscanini was eventually persuaded by the musicians to take up the baton at 9:15 pm, and led a performance of the two-and-a-half hour opera, completely from memory. The public was taken by surprise, at first by the youth, charisma and sheer intensity of this unknown conductor, then by his solid musicianship. The result was astounding acclaim. For the rest of that season, Toscanini conducted 18 operas, each one an absolute success. Thus began his career as a conductor, at age 19.


Upon returning to Italy, Toscanini set out on a dual path. He continued to conduct, his first appearance in Italy being at the Teatro Carignano in Turin, on November 4, 1886,  in the world premiere of the revised version of Alfredo Catalani's Edmea (it had had its premiere in its original form at La Scala, Milan, on February 27, of that year). This was the beginning of Toscanini's lifelong friendship and championing of Catalani; he even named his first daughter Wally after the heroine of Catalani's opera La Wally.[4] He also returned to his chair in the cello section, and participated as cellist in the world premiere of Verdi's Otello (La Scala, Milan, 1887) under the composer's supervision. Verdi, who habitually complained that conductors never seemed interested in directing his scores the way he had written them, was impressed by reports from Arrigo Boito about Toscanini's ability to interpret his scores. The composer was also impressed when Toscanini consulted him personally about Verdi's Te Deum, suggesting an allargando where it was not set out in the score. Verdi said that he had left it out for fear that "certain interpreters would have exaggerated the marking".
