Dedicated to the 'Ghazal Maestro' Jagjit Singh . May his soul rest in peace.
I've been a big fan of his velvety smooth voice and his soulful, melodious songs. I loved most of his ghazals and it's impossible to choose one favourite. I'm listing three of my fav. ghazals by him.
1860-1930 gives us a date window of 70 years and yet there may be nothing in this photo which will allow us to significantly narrow that window? I am confident that we will get the location.
In terms of location, it is unequivocally established that this is St Catherine's Church (CoI) in Ahascragh, County Galway. (A church and churchyard which the Dillons and ourselves have visited before). In terms of date, based in particular on inputs from Rory Sherlock and Bernard Healy, the guys have been able to more than half the 70-year range to perhaps 30-years (likely 1870s/80s/90s). This is based primarily what we see (and don't see) on the left-handside of the image. Specifically, the scrolled memorial dates to the early 1870s. So we must be after that. And this memorial was moved, and a new trancept was built, before the mid-1900s. So we must be before then....

Red-winged blackbirds in harmonial flight. It's challenging to get a satisfying photo of a flock in some kind of patternistic flight. I found this pattern interesting, almost turbulent, circular and three-dimensional.

Kartals, hand-held wooden slabs related to castanets; Samvadini or hand pumped harmonium; Dhol or double headed drum. Also, they sang.
Now everybody wants to be photographed with an instrument. The crocodile loves the drone of a Harmonium.

The portable, hand-pumped harmonium or samvadini is a major instrument on the Indian subcontinent developed by Indians to meet local needs. The craftsmen created a harmonium that a single person could carry, with added microtones. It is used in some European Jazz festival too.

There are timings for devotional songs or music called bhajans, which are accompanied by a dholak or tabla soloist and/or harmonium soloist.
Singers at a funeral ceremony, and as their quivering voices floated about, a cycle rickshaw came by to deliver grains and vegetables for the grand meal.
It was soulful and touching, and even though i barely understood what they sang about, it was beautiful

A tiny, remote church, actually the surviving chancel of a larger church, on a mound above the Cuckmere Valley near to the beautiful stone-built villages of the South Downs National Park.
It is one of a number of churches which claim to be the smallest church in England - indeed, a rather large book has been written about them all. Wikipedia notes that the church was the inspiration for British Sea Power's song The Smallest Church in Sussex, which featured as a b-side to Remember Me in 2003. The organ featured on that song comes from the harmonium inside the actual church.
The church is always open.
It was after dusk and a boy had just returned from playground,still soaked with sweat.
It was time to study and just then,the electricity went off.Complete darkness fell in the home.There was none to be seen...
Afraid,the boy called his mother.She came immediately and told him to sit tight on the bed.She then went away and came back with a lit candle,her harmonium and her music diary.She started singing songs,one after another from her diary and the boy kept listening to them in silence.He could not understand all the words yet he loved those.The melancholy-happy melodies and that heart rendering voice breaking the fear of the dark.
After an hour or two,lights came.It was time to put away the harmonium,for that day.
The boy from that day,has been haunted by that little pursuit till this very moment.

The pump organ is a type of free-reed organ that generates sound as air flows past a vibrating piece of thin metal in a frame.
The piece of metal is called a reed. Specific types of pump organ include the reed organ, harmonium, and melodeon.
More portable than pipe organs, free-reed organs were widely used in smaller churches and in private homes in the 19th century, but their volume and tonal range were limited.
They generally had one or sometimes two manuals, with pedal-boards being rare. The finer pump organs had a wider range of tones, and the cabinets of those intended for churches and affluent homes were often excellent pieces of furniture.
Several million free-reed organs and melodeons were made in the USA and Canada between the 1850s and the 1920s.
In 1882 you could buy a beautiful "Beatty's Parlor Organ" for only $50.
During this time Estey Organ and Mason & Hamlin were popular manufacturers.
This is not a hurdy gurdy. I was en route to a gallery opening the other evening when I stumbled across the most magical shop… a shop that collects weird and wonderful handmade instruments and the like, from around the world. It's called Musideum. I hope it is successful – it deserves it. I am now in true love with the Hurdy Gurdy. I want one desperately. Unfortunately, my hurdy gurdy image did not turn out, so I am posting something similar instead – am am not even sure what kind of instrument this is. Something pianoesque. I would sincerely live in this shop if I could. I honestly just gazed at that hurdy gurdy for a good ten minutes. Just gazing.
Gosh, I really am a bona-fide bokeh fiend.

After grandiose abbeys and impressive cathedrals, all of them jewels of the Romanesque Heritage in the old southern French provinces of Languedoc and Roussillon, I take you now to visit a very different, albeit not less moving, kind of church: the early Christian chapel of Gléon, built in isolation among the hilly fields of a wine-producing estate in the département of Aude, in the foothills of the Corbières low mountains.
If most opine that this chapel, dedicated either to the Virgin Mary or to Saint Eugenia, no one really knows, was built around Year 800 (the oldest mention of it in writing is from 817), some assess that it is much older indeed, and could have been erected as early as the 500s. It is, in any case, extremely old, at least Carolingian or Wisigothic, and very venerable. It was however not listed as a Historic Landmark until 1984, possibly because it is a private property.
It comprises two very small naves, the main one indisputably pre-Year 1000, and the second one, to the North, substantially remodeled it seems in the 19th century... but unfortunately, it is very difficult to form an opinion today because the walls in that northern nave have been cemented over, as is most of the outside. In the places where it is still visible, the medium to large apparel of the main nave is very impressive.
This is evidence that, at some not too distant point in time, maybe late 19th century, there was a harmonium in this chapel... Today, the ruined instrument lies sadly at the end of the secondary nave.
I said above that this nave had been extensively redone in modern times, and here you can see the concrete floor, a work typical of the 1960s. The plastered walls are utterly “unreadable”, as you can see.
