Toward the end of the middle section, Erik Magnussen, one of Alexandra's companions, is swept up in visions of a technocratic order, and the pulsing violence of his music, at once hyper-organized and chaotic, is all the more shocking given the gentleness of what has come before.
This lovely piece suggests the gentleness of the patient carpenter, while hinting at his sensuous desire for his beautiful son through the phallic image of the nail he beats into the wood and the coming together of the nail with the bench on which, we suspect, the young Jesus lies.
Steve Lacy's skittering subtlety on guitar and solid quietude on bass suit what we might as well call her spirituality, a gentleness that never comes across genteel or weak or connects explicitly to her unassuming lesbianism, although you begin to sense a yen for serious romance after enough fooling around.

Gestures of gentleness and warmth keep breaking into works like the First Cantata, with texts by the poet Hildegard Jone, who shared with Webern, an alpine enthusiast, an intense love for nature at its most pure; carefully chosen timbres of strings and percussion with solo brass and woodwinds caress as often as they collide.
In the poem above, with its ampersands and strong enjambments, its knowing alliterative excesses, I hear Gerard Manley Hopkins, the Jesuit priest who jury-rigged his verse to express personal turmoil, and Hart Crane, whose gentleness was expressed in an American idiom full of thunderclap, and Allen Ginsberg, who loved and learned from them both.
I think it's important to go back to those books and realize that, even though there was a traumatic event, at the same time, in the course of that story, we find people who begin a dialogue and begin to gentle themselves into a meaningful relationship, and that the hero is not demeaned by that gentleness.

There was gentleness amid the violence as Grey Worm and Missandei finally shared a bed in a tender scene and a sweet reunion between Arya and Hot Pie (who continues to excel in his small but vital role of providing key information to characters at crucial moments) as well as a sadder one between Arya and a pack of wolves.
Instead of remixing the tracks from that album, which featured more guitar driven indie rock music, the band instead deconstructed those songs down to their stem files (the individual instrument recordings for a track) and sliced and diced them into entirely new works — sometimes breaking down two or three original tracks and rebuilding them one new "recycled" track — that jettison far from their indie roots and fall somewhere between the playfulness of glitch and the gentleness of electrofolk.
"Malcolm was sitting in the first row of the hall, bending forward at such an angle that his long arms nearly caressed the ankles of his long legs, staring up at me," he writes of the first time he met Malcolm X.
