Native Plants
Cywinski, Rachel
RACHEL CYWINSKI - WHY SHE PHOTOGRAPHS AND SHARES THESE PLANT IMAGES:The year that Rachel began contributing to the NPIN Image Gallery, the most calming and inspiring song she knows, Miserere Mei Deus composed by Gregorio Allegri, experienced a resurgence of popularity. Many choirs recorded the song and posted videorecordings on the Internet. Worldwide, the story of Wolfgang Mozart and his father risking excommunication from the Catholic Church in order to preserve this song, has been recounted. Rachel hears this music as a gift from God. Mozart, in the Sistine Chapel to memorize the song, must have realized with the first strains that no person had the right to keep this gift only for himself. When she really looks at these plants, Rachel knows that same message.
