Making a Pink Seashell, Part 3.**

It was on the weekend of 6,7 June 2015 and on Monday 8,  that this model was made.  Each day I listened to the ABC Radio Classic 100 SWOON  Music;  25 pieces each day;  Countdown from Friday 5.  Some of the most fabulous classical music in history, nominated by listeners and voted for.

 What will be No 1?
It was Ralph Vaughn Williams'  "The Lark Ascending".  A shatteringly exquisite piece for Violin.  (I wrote about it on my blog www.acolourfulpost.blogspot.com         date....)
You can listen online all over the world!   and buy 8 CD set for $59.
 www.abc.net.au/classic and look for Swoon 100.
 
All this pink crochet model continues from the Challenge mentioned in a recent post-   I repeat some images here.........Here  is the completed model;  quite a complex design!

This is the real thing.  Not exactly exact,  but getting there!

---------------------------------------------------

This is what it looked like at stage 1.  Slits along the row of 96 stitches.

Oh dear,  blog won't let me post more images just now.
Anyway there needs to be a lot more work in drawing up diagrams and creating text and a good Pattern for crochet,  at last there might be results that people can work with!
___________________________

Ralph Vaughn Williams' "Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis" was on radio at number 18.  My great favourite;  a real Swoon.   Graham Abbot  years ago did a marvellous Keys to Music program on this-  there are 3 levels of violin-   the orchestra,  a group of 8,  and the solo violins..
Graham said it was "shatteringly beautiful music".  He knows.  He has conducted orchestras playing this Wonderful Work.  I hope that the ABC might repeat this program for us to listen again.

Most poignant is that this piece is really about War-  the British composer volunteered to be an ambulance man, a stretcher bearer in the killing fields of World War 1....1913......
the only beautiful thing in such a place may have been a Skylark in a French field......

And.  Mozart at No 2 was Clarinet Concerto in A.  Adagio.

Beethoven was number 15-  Emperor Concerto slow movement.  It was here that I began to carefully sew up the spiral suture of this seashell model.

a most memorable weekend.
