The music was beautiful, and his enthusiasm and smile were contagious. What an inspiration! Both Sophia and Olivia were born in China, so it is wonderful when they can see positive, Chinese-American role models (female or male).
Here's an article written for the Associated Press about the performance:
Inauguration quartet simply filled with hope
By MARTIN STEINBERG
It was written by an iconic American movie composer and performed by a quartet direct from central casting — in front of a worldwide audience of millions.
It was a simple gift from composer John Williams.
The Oscar-winning composer of "Star Wars," "Jaws" and "Schindler's List" pulled together this five-minute piece to commemorate the inauguration of Barack Obama as the nation's 44th president.
The quartet played what Williams calls "Air and Simple Gifts" immediately before Obama was sworn in. In fact, the musicians were still playing when, according to the Constitution, Obama officially became president — at the stroke of noon Tuesday.
The composition arranged by Williams begins with a soft introduction, played by Venezuelan-American pianist Gabriela Montero and Chinese-American cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Moments later, the violin, played by the Israeli-American Itzhak Perlman, enters with a sweet, pensive theme gliding over the lower voices. The cello then takes off and engages the violin in a lovely duet.
This warm melodic air — evoking a musical image of bald eagles soaring over America's terrain — cut through the chill of the 28-degree temperature that forced Montero to wear gloves.
Then, the clarinet, played by the African-American musician Anthony McGill of the Metropolitan Opera orchestra, interjects with a familiar tune. It's "Simple Gifts," written in the mid-1800s by a Shaker composer and popularized by Aaron Copland in his 1944 ballet "Appalachian Spring."
In the face of the awesome tasks facing Obama, Williams' arrangement of the song conveys a joyous romp filled with confidence and hope. And the unsung lyrics bear this out:
"'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free,
"'Tis the gift to come down where you ought to be,
"And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
"'Twill be in the valley of love and delight."
Protesters and supporters rallied on the Colorado Statehouse steps and marched in downtown Denver on January 20,2017 as Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States.
No, I'm not currently on the parade route, but I was in DC last weekend when they were practicing for the Inauguration parade. Truly amazing the amount of security necessary to pull this off. I know this first hand since I was detained by Capitol Police for several minutes while taking frames of the Capitol. Long story.....
