Description
In the chapel at Vézelay, the evening concert has just begun. Candlelight flickers across the old stone, and a single violin rises into the vaulted ceiling, so pure and clear that the audience barely breathes. An elderly woman in the third row closes her eyes and remembers her own first violin, the squeaks and scales of a winter long ago, and the patient teacher who told her that every note was a small prayer. When the last note fades, nobody claps for a long moment, unwilling to break the spell.
This angel in a flowing blue gown plays her violin with serene grace, her features and posture finely detailed. She makes a beautiful gift for a violinist, a choir member, a music teacher at the end of the school year, or anyone for whom music is a source of comfort. Placed on a piano, beside a music stand or on a bedroom shelf, she adds a gentle, uplifting note to the room. She is also a lovely Christmas present for a collector of angels. Young students often keep her near their practice books for encouragement.
