Dame Myra Hess DBE was a renowned British pianist, known for her exceptional talent and musical prowess. Born in 1890, she captivated audiences around the world with her mesmerizing performances. One of the most iconic images associated with Myra is her playing at St. Nicholas church, a historic monument dating back to between the 8th and 11th centuries in Myra. The ancient walls echoed with the enchanting melodies that flowed from her fingertips, leaving listeners spellbound. But it wasn't just on stage where Myra's magic unfolded; she also had a captivating presence at home. In photographs capturing intimate moments, we see a glimpse of Lady Buckhurst (later known as Lady Avice Sackville) alongside Lord Buckhurst and Lady Myra (Idina). These snapshots reveal not only their close bond but also shed light on Myra's multifaceted life beyond music. Myra's connection to Turkey is evident through various references to Lycia and its breathtaking landscapes. Ancient Lycian rock tombs near Kale on the Mediterranean Coast showcase an intriguing blend of history and natural beauty. Masks adorning these tombs add an air of mystery to this ancient civilization that once thrived there. The turquoise coast served as inspiration for many artists throughout history, including those who captured its essence through paintings like "The Miraculous Multiplication of Grain" or "St. Nicholas Delivers Three Unjustly Condemned Men from Death. " These masterpieces reflect both the region's rich cultural heritage and its stunning surroundings. Intriguingly titled "Myran och lusen, " which translates to "Myrna and the lice, " one wonders about this enigmatic reference amidst all these other hints surrounding Dame Myra Hess DBE. Perhaps it serves as a reminder that even extraordinary individuals have ordinary aspects to their lives – moments that make them human.
