Section 15 PL ok again.

this is a sweet romantic poem. And I think I recall that Hana means flower in Japanese, so the comparison to the flowers in this poem is probably not a coincindence. In the original version the play on words would probably even more obvious.

absolutely Nemo

I especially love to discover new poets and Noguchi has the added bonus to have a completely different style from what we're used in the western civilization. So I'm happy to get to know these poems. It's also a nice accompaniment to the World's Story project right now, since there we are immersed into East-Asia culture as well. So your project couldn't have started at a better time for me.

Section 20 again beautifully and flawlessly read

PL ok

I hope Eva's voice is soon back to normal

Hello Sonia:

a fair handful here for now. Do you mind if I just put the times in the MW? Let me know. (When you return to LV after the holidays.)

oh I'll be online all these days, apart from some family dinners LOL I don't mind if you put the length in the MW directly, as long as it's somewhere

I'm glad to hear your voice is back. Beautiful renderings

especially cool to hear them all in a row, it's like a soft warm summer breeze drifting over my soul (I seem to be inspired by Noguchi).

Apart from one poem, all are PL ok. (2,4,12,35,37,38,46)

PL note for 32:

> at 0:30: "in thy heart's thrill" - you say "my", which makes a change of meaning here

Oh and I loooooved the minminminmin.... the melody was almost hypnotic. Well done.

This is fixed (I think):

And just a handful more of new ones (including a duet with Nemo-san which could only be Noguchi):

Just one from me for PL - section 9:

Eva is on fire!

It's like watching a beautiful crocus come up from a snowy blanket after a long winter!

ah wonderful, some more Noguchi to start my day

sorry, I still hear "my"

so either something went wrong in the upload or my download, or something is wrong with my ears. Could you have one listen to the file in the MW and if you tell me that you read "THY", then I believe you and we can mark it PL ok.

And just a handful more of new ones (including a duet with Nemo-san which could only be Noguchi):

ha-ha-ha this snowflake duet was simply delightful

especially the mix of voices in the end. Well done, you two.

10, 14, 33 and 42 PL ok.

thanks Nemo, also PL ok. I especially loved listening to the two Yosemite poems one after the other. It's a good idea you changed voices in these two.

Merry Christmas Sonia!

A long, but quite lovely piece.

I could have fixed the wrong thy, or uploaded the wrong file, or my "thys" are indistinct, I will check very carefully when I dip into Noguchi again soon. Sorry!

oh yes I agree

I was lying comfy on the couch just letting your voice drizzle over me. I was almost disappointed when it was over. I can imagine this as backdrop while doing yoga. I'm not a yoga person, but I could imagine it.

PL ok. Good job !

And merry Christmas to you both too.
