A piece from the Far North... (home)... that always carries my heart back...

LixNxSGzlGA

and from Lithuania... our cousins...

Sd3cWMBEyck

and one of my favorite traditional violin pieces. most of this was filmed in the musician's dressing room before the show.. I love how it is casual and 'informal'... and opens up even more of the heart of the piece..

Franz Schubert composed about an hour of incidental music for Helmina von Chézy's play Rosamunde. The play itself is lost, however, which might be just as well, if it is as incomprehensible as von Chézy's libretto for Carl Maria von Weber's opera Euryanthe. Schubert's music was nearly lost too, and it owes its survival, at least in part, to George Grove and Arthur Sullivan (the latter of Gilbert and Sullivan fame.) Even so, ambiguities remain. There is no Rosamunde overture per se; when the play was produced, Schubert's overture to the unrelated Alfonso und Estrella was used instead, at his suggestion. He apparently came to refer to it as the Rosamunde overture. However, shortly before his death, the incidental music to Rosamunde was published in a version for piano duet, and the overture to Die Zauberharfe (The Magic Harp) was published as its overture... Schubert composed ten numbers, but the popularity of the Entr'acte #3 and the Ballet #2 overshadows the rest of them, particularly because the theme of the former appears in other works by Schubert.

Funny how a series of events can galvinize even the most unsolvable dilemmas a person might be facing in life and manifest the most interesting answers available when you feel you cannot make up your mind what you should do next, yes?

Last night, after I got home from my Sunday rotation @ work,
I found myself listening to Van Morrison... it was a ouji board moment,
for sure (have no other explanation for how these two songs came to me).

The undiscovered gifts held by the universe are yet to come
but I feel them as if they're right there beside me:
nudging me into the most beautiful of cascading freefall
experiences I've yet to feel with eyes of wonder. . . :stillheart:

Just yesterday I sent someone the link to one of my favorite clips of Yo Yo Ma, which satisfies both my love for classical music and my even deeper love for dance. You will never think of this particular style of dance in the same way. Watch for the pirouette en pointe!

Do any of you like Madeleine Peyroux?
I learned about her years ago and not from any one of my friends locally,
but rather from a friend overseas in Berlin.

Here's a few of her songs that I like:

Half The Perfect World (the song my friend introduced me to)
g4j_vRYR4uY


Mostly though, her voice is exquisitely beautiful and has an ethereal quality which feels transformitive (to me): Like in this song (To Love You, All Over Again) from her "Bare Bones" album.

tdWXgbIXlmM


She's got a new album of music out, but I've yet to hear her new songs. I guess I should plan to spend an afternoon at a music store and listen to her album (The Blue Room) -- but, I found it on SoundCloud (see link below).

https://soundcloud.com/madeleinepeyroux/sets/the-blue-room

It's largely why I thought it would be a good thing
to create this music forum thread for stringed music
on stringed instruments of all types. Stringed instruments
range from Piano, Harp, Ukelele, Mandolin, Banjo, Cello, Viola, stand up Bass,
Violin's to Guitar's of all kinds to lesser known types of stringed instruments:
such as the Kora, Zarb or Voix (Ballake Sissoko & friends).

Symphonies, Chamber orchestras, Philharmonic's
(music that transforms my everyday world) :stillheart:

*Lyrics*

Daydreamer
Sitting on the sea
Soaking up the sun
He is a real lover
Of making up the past
And feeling up his girl
Like he's never felt her figure before

A jaw dropper
Looks good when he walks
Is the subject of their talk
He would be hard to chase
But good to catch
And he could change the world
With his hands behind his back

oh...

You can find him sittin' on your doorstep
Waiting for a surprise
And he will feel like he's been there for hours
And you can tell that he'll be there for life

Daydreamer
With eyes that make you melt
He lends his coat for shelter
Plus he's there for you
When he shouldn't be
But he stays all the same
Waits for you
Then sees you through

There's no way I
Could describe him
What I'll say is
Just what I'm hoping for

But I will find him sittin' on my doorstep
Waiting for a surprise
And he will feel like he's been there for hours
And I can tell that he'll be there for life
And I can tell that he'll be there for life

Suo Gân (Welsh pronunciation: [sɨɔ ɡɑːn]) is a traditional Welsh lullaby written by an anonymous composer.
It was first recorded in print around 1800.[1] The lyrics were notably captured by the Welsh folklorist Robert Bryan (1858–1920).[2]

Huna blentyn ar fy mynwes
Clyd a chynnes ydyw hon;
Breichiau mam sy'n dynn amdanat,
Cariad mam sy dan fy mron;
Ni chaiff dim amharu'th gyntun,
Ni wna undyn â thi gam;
Huna'n dawel, annwyl blentyn,
Huna'n fwyn ar fron dy fam.
Huna'n dawel, heno, huna,
Huna'n fwyn, y tlws ei lun;
Pam yr wyt yn awr yn gwenu,
Gwenu'n dirion yn dy hun?
Ai angylion fry sy'n gwenu,
Arnat ti yn gwenu'n llon,
Tithau'n gwenu'n ôl dan huno,
Huno'n dawel ar fy mron?
Paid ag ofni, dim ond deilen
Gura, gura ar y ddôr;
Paid ag ofni, ton fach unig
Sua, sua ar lan y môr;
Huna blentyn, nid oes yma
Ddim i roddi iti fraw;
Gwena'n dawel yn fy mynwes
Ar yr engyl gwynion draw.


Sleep child on my bosom
Cozy and warm is this;
Mother's arms are tight around you,
Mother's love is under my breast;
Nothing may affect your napping,
No man will cross you;
Sleep quietly, dear child,
Sleep sweetly on your mother's breast.
Sleep quietly, tonight, sleep;
Sleep sweetly, the pretty of his picture;
Why are you now smiling,
Smiling softly in your sleep?
Are angels above smiling,
On you smiling joyfully,
You smiling back in sleeping,
Sleeping quietly on my breast?
Do not fear, nothing but a leaf
Knocks, knocks on the door;
Do not fear, a small lonely wave
Murmurs, murmurs on the seashore;
Sleep child, there's nothing here
Nothing to give you a fright;
Smile quietly in my bosom,
On the angels white yonder.

Also Sprach Zarathustra

(Originally composed by Richard Strauss, arranged and adapted by Eumir Deodato)

Personnel on the album:
Eumir Deodato - piano, electric piano
Ron Carter - electric bass (solo on "Baubles, Bangles and Beads"), bass
Stanley Clarke - electric bass (solo on "Also Sprach Zarathustra")
Billy Cobham - drums
John Tropea - electric guitar (solo on "Also Sprach Zarathustra", "Baubles, Bangles and Beads", "September 13")
Jay Berliner - guitar (solo on "Spirit of Summer")
Airto Moreira - percussion
Ray Barretto - congas
Hubert Laws - flute (solo on "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun")
~>>> Plus (+) *Strings* & *Horns*



Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A Book for All and None (German: Also sprach Zarathustra: Ein Buch für Alle und Keinen) is a philosophical novel by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, composed in four parts between 1883 and 1885. Much of the work deals with ideas such as the "eternal recurrence of the same", the parable on the "death of God", and the "prophecy" of the Overman, which were first introduced in The Gay Science.

Described by Nietzsche himself as "the deepest ever written," the book is a dense and esoteric treatise on philosophy and morality, featuring as protagonist a fictionalized Zarathustra. A central irony of the text is that Nietzsche mimics the style of the Bible in order to present ideas which fundamentally oppose Christian and Jewish morality and tradition.

Vivaldi Autumn Itzhak Perman CD recording
Movement 1: Allegro (Peasant Dance and Song)
The peasant celebrates with song and dance the harvest safely gathered in.
The cup of Bacchus flows freely, and many find their relief in deep slumber.

Movement 2: Adagio molto (Sleeping after the harvest celebration)
The singing and the dancing die away
as cooling breezes fan the pleasant air,
inviting all to sleep
without a care.

Movement 3: Allegro (The Hunt)
The hunters emerge at dawn,
ready for the chase,
with horns and dogs and cries.
Their quarry flees while they give chase.
Terrified and wounded, the prey struggles on,
but, harried, dies?

I've been all over the map with listening to various kinds of music today,
but I'm ending my day with, what I think is the most haunting rendition I've ever heard,
of Toru Takemitsu's orchestral peice called, "From Me Flows What You Call Time."

This recording was from a few years ago,
performed by members of the La Jolla Symphony, at UC San Diego.

One of my most favorite songs of all time, "Moon River" by Henry Mancini and Savannah's own Johnny Mercer. What most people don't know is that Moon River is an actual place....an actual river. I practically grew up on it, spending many summers fishing, swimming, crabbing and water skiing on it. To this day, listening to it takes me back to those golden years of growing up Southern, in Savannah......and Moon River. :heartbeat:

Radiohead (Thom York) will be producing a new album of music this fall, but I totally love his song "House of Cards" and the accompanying video.

The Zolla Boys posted this video to their Facebook page (which was filmed in August, of this year) and 8 hours later, there was nearly 1.8 million views, over 21k likes, and tons of shares to other member pages.

I think these young boys are gifted with tremendous talent.

I believe they live in Connecticut.

Hope others enjoy their talented rendition of the classic bluegrass/folk song, "I Heard The Blue Bird Sing."

Happy Sunday :stillheart:

A few days ago I heard this song on the radio and it brought back sweet memories from years ago, during a really long hot summer. I just think it's the sweetest song ever. :stillheart:

Thanks for identifying the composer in the Adagio in G Minor as Tomato Albioni! I just happened to find that lovely music post, by complete accident, on SoundCloud. It's a gorgeous track of stringed music, with subtle organ notes. :)

I did some research today, concerning the Adagio in G Minor because while listening to this arrangement, I kept wondering where I had heard it before.

It turns out the Remo Giazotto, an 20th century musicologist, studied the Italian master of baroque, Tomaso Albioni. There's a bit of scholarly debate too, because this arrangement, although its true author is Giazotto, is most often misattributed to Albioni. Giazotto also studied and wrote an biography on Vivaldi (The Four Seasons ).

Check out the link below, because wayyyy down the list is a citation of works where this baroque arrangement of Adagio in G Minor has been used in film, tv, and covered by other artists.

In particular, Adagio in G Minor appeared in funeral scenes of HBO's, The Sopranos.

That's exactly where I heard it before, on ....The Sopranos.

West of the Sun, East of the Moon (Diana Krall)

A little side note: West of the Sun East of the Moon is an very old Norwegian fairy tale. If I'm not mistaken, Beauty and The Beast is an adaptation of this original fairy tale.

Moon River -- Henry Mancini and his Orchestra and Choir

Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're goin', I'm goin' your way

Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waitin' 'round the bend
My huckleberry friend, moon river, and me

Sheku Kanneh-Mason, a 19-year-old cellist from Nottingham, captivated the congregation and everyone watching the royal wedding, his music filling St. George's Chapel.

Sheku has been playing since he was 6.

He has a nearly priceless Amati cello that's more than 400 years old and is never out of his sight.

He's studying at the Royal Academy of Music in London on a full scholarship, along with his older siblings. In fact, every one of Sheku's six brothers and sisters have spent their life playing classical music.

[*Anya*]

I hope that it is ok to post this here as it is not a strictly musical piece. I had to find more information about the rest of the musical prodigies (and that devote an extraordinary amount of time practicing) in the family. If you have interest, I hope that you enjoy it.
