Celebration of Life: Macrine J. Katague via her favorite music (Piano)-Part 1

As promised and scheduled today I am posting Part 1 of the series, Celebration of Life, Macrine J. Katague through her favorite music pieces. Previously, I posted a 4-part series on Macrine's Celebration of Life through Photographs and Videos. 

In this series, I am celebrating Macrine's  well-lived life via her favorite music pieces( piano, violin, orchestral, instrumental, vocal or choral arrangements and six other categories).

In this Part 1- it is Chopin Etude Op #10, No 3, popularly known as No Other Love. There are several You-Tube presentations, but here are 2 interpretations  Andre Rieu:


Piano and Violin Interpretations and below orchestral arrangement
 
No other love can warm my heart
Now that I've known the comfort of your arms
No other love.
Oh the sweet contentment that I find with you every time
Every time.
No other lips could want you more
For I was born to glory in your kiss.
Forever yours
I was blessed with love to love you
Til the stars burn out above you
Til the moon is but a silver shell
No other love, let no other love
Know the wonder of your spell
 
And Here's James Last Interpretation-Enjoy
 
Here's Rachmaninoff Rhapsody-also One of Macrine's Favorite
 
 
 
Meanwhile, while searching in You Tube for the above lyrics, I found this piece so beautiful and inspiring. I hope I am not infringing on DJ Lava- Best Music Relax copyrights! Enjoy!! 

Piano music reminds me of the healing power of music to our mental health
