“I want to crawl to her feet, whimper to be forgiven for needing her more than my own life… for belonging to her more than my own soul”
— Emily Bronte (Wuthering Heights)
I do not wish he crawls to my feet as Heathcliffe did in Wuthering Heights in search of immortal love. I merely wish he whispered The Fifth Symphony of Beethoven into my ears and uttered the ode of true love that dwelt in our hearts! The music travels from Treble to Bass and is considered the portrayal of true love; these tunes are that very symphony that I would adorn as a symbol of my eternal love.
The love of God is like a treble clef, a musical note that signifies high pitch! I wish He sings the highest note of the Song of Love that touches the Zenith height and dives into the deep sea of solemn music in which my soul is drenched. Since, for me, the love of God seems to be derived from the musical ‘treble clef’, which I think is meant for me, as my name ‘Sangeeta’ itself means music!
A piece of me was left behind when I was evolving with time growing gracefully. Music is that forgotten part of my persona lost during my transition from a romantic girl to a responsible woman. The reason why I felt I’d lost the love of God! The subtle trembling notes of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony remind me of my journey from a coy girl to a grown-up woman with added responsibilities and grey-grown hair. I wish He brings that romance back into my life as my wisdom has taught me to rise in Platonic love rather than falling for those trivial passions like the treble clef that stays upright and shows the rise of love!
The more I explore Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, the better it reminds me of my connection with God and His love. It also connects me to my soul and helps me explore the culture and tradition that the fifth symphony emits through its journey from treble to bass. The music of Beethoven even makes me inclined towards my roots. Despite it belonging to Western classical music, it somewhere reminds me of our Indian classical music that is driven towards eternity! Furthermore, the trembling notes of this fifth symphony even resemble a HEART separated into two, treble & bass (high & low notes), which is indeed the —
“Treble reason for loving as well as working while it is day” — George Eliot.
And this pretty piece of music is that triple reason for me to receive the love of God, with and for the purpose being ‘Him, ‘Me’ & ‘My Music.

I agree with you Mr. Vinayak. It’s not common at all but since it’s my personal view so I thought of writing it my way. And yes, the symphony is indeed powerful.
Thanks for dropping by. 🙂
This is such an extraordinary piece of writing. Loved reading it 🙂 <3
Thanks Purba. Glad that you liked it dear kid. Much love. 🙂 <3
The symphonies or even the Indian ragas very evocative
Indeed they are. Very well said Ilakshi. Thanks. 🙂
I have listened to this music but I cannot analyze so well.
Glad that you find it readable Indrani. Thank you. 🙂
The relationship between you & God with music as a medium is seen here in your words Sangeeta ji. There is no need of any further proof to understand the love for music in your heart, your name says it all. And living the life with the name we have, preaching to the world how much that name suits your personality in real life is important. That name after the divine music suits you best because of your divine nature. And am sure, you will be back to that same glory, dwelling in the music with love. God will definitely place it back into your life, since you are the best one before and after becoming a responsible woman. This is not just a write up, i consider this as a prayer to God with a sincere hear, a psalm with pure heart. Loved this much Sangeeta ji, thank you for sharing :))
