So beautiful and tranquil, just what I needed before I dive into a very busy day. Made me smile. Thanks so much for sharing!

Thank you. Such a week of negative drama in the world, it’s a relief to see something so simple and lovely.

How amazing! That is the wedding song. I had to google because I forgot which one (Bach).

Even better on a xylophone in the woods. In Japan. Really pretty.

I’m so glad you looked up the song, Tamara! I recognized the melody but didn’t know the name.

5 John A. Tvedtnes July 15, 2011 at 3:52 pm: It’s not a wedding song. It’s “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring.” The best version is by Celtic Woman, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPeVIuRjUi4.

If more of us created art like this the world would be a more harmonious place. Simply divine!

Amazing and wonderful. Some people have certainly carved out interesting lives!

Wow, that was stunning.

As someone who grew up playing classical voilin, but hasn’t touched her instrument in about 4 years that brought tears to my eyes.

Thanks

Thanks for an early morning moment being completely entranced in something lovely and peaceful. The Bug and I both thought that was pretty amazing. Then she asked if we could make something like that. I’m all for crafts projects, but this one might be a little beyond my “pull it out of my hat” capabilities today. haa-

Oh My Goodness! I love this! Thanks so much for sharing!

Glad you likes the link, Gabby! I was so memorized when the ball started rolling and the music started. I just couldn’t believe it was real and “live”! I’m glad a lot more people get to see it here!

20 whoorl May 5, 2011 at 12:45 pm

Stunning! And truly lovely.

21 Kate Reymann May 5, 2011 at 1:57 pm

This is incredible. My kiddo and I watched it about five times in a row. I love the sound of the ball as it is rolled out of its box.

22 Neva May 6, 2011 at 11:14 am

Beautiful…but an add for a phone? Have to say I was really put off by the ending. I want to know I’m trying to be sold something at the start:)

23 Nathan Lively May 6, 2011 at 1:14 pm
