Feminine Fabulosity: The Flower Duet

There is something so delicate and lovely about spring blossoms and flowers, isn't there? They massage my soul's eyes and start my heart to singing. Do you know what I mean?

I don't know if you're like me, and the Music is in you? For me, Music can paralyze me with its sweetness. Music can propel me into action. Music can (and frequently does!) melt me into a completely different--and better--person. I believe this to be due to the fact that Music is literally part of my genetic makeup. My sweets, I assure you I have never been more serious.

Because the Music is in me, I feel certain melodies, certain songs can influence me to embrace my feminity more than possibly any other venue can. "The Flower Duet" from the 1883 opera "Lakme" by French composer Leo Delibes is one such piece of music. Not only is it lovely in and of itself with its interweaving soprano and alto parts, it literally changes me as I soak it into my soul. And you know what else? Whether you recognise the title or not, I bet you've already heard it and loved it!

So, without further ado, please click here and take a delicious taste, won't you? And let me know what you think when you get back! Are there songs that bring out your inner feminine fabulosity? I hope you will please share them if there are!
Love,
Autumn
