'Many Meetings' on Viola

Here Virgil introduces himself by playing his viola. The song is 'Many Meetings', from The Lord of the Rings score. It's not the best, but an honorable attempt. It's also slightly awkward as his arms aren't seen. Please enjoy nonetheless. The video can be seen by clicking on the link below.

Oh well done! I must admit that your instrument is one of my favorites.

I was quite pleased to see your face. It is interesting to see how your friends have changed over the years.

I too adore my viola. It is called Jeff. Occasionally we have conversations over difficult pieces.

It is called Jeff, but we don't actually speak with each other. But it leaves a quandry -- what would it say...? Ah well! Thank you for your compliment.

Change is a facinating thing -- there is a quote by Aristotle: 'Time crumbles things; everything grows old under the power of Time and is forgotten through the lapse of Time.' Rather depressing, really, but appropirate. Time makes us older, which causes us to change. :)

Ah very true. Very true indeed.

Jeff, is it? Tell him I am quite glad to make some sort of acquaintance with him.

How long has Jeff been in your possesion? I do not recall if you were playing a viola when I left.

Jeff and I met at eleven, and have been close friends since. That may have been just after you left.

Yes, I believe so. We are the same age, are we not?

We are : ).
