Schubert: Deutsche Messe 1: Wohin soll ich mich wenden
Schubert: Deutsche Messe 1: Wohin soll ich mich wenden Created with NCH Photostage. ABOUT THE PICTURES They are mine. I hope you enjoy them as an accompaniment to the music, To see them and more like them, you may visit www.flickr.com ABOUT THE MUSIC Unlike the more familiar choral concert masses, which are musical settings of the Latin Ordinarium, Franz Schuberts so-called Deutsche Messe of 1827 (DV 872) was conceived as incidental musica suite of eight German-language carols to be intercalated at specified points during a spoken reading of the Ordinarium. The lyricist and commissioning patron, Johann Phillipp Neumann, had only an amateur choir at his disposal, and thus requested that the music be kept very simple. This might have been a recipe for mediocrity or worse, but through Schuberts extraordinary melodic gift a genuinely charming work was produced; the first and third numbers in particular have a limpid, gossamer quality which make them favorites of mine. TEXT OF FIRST SECTION (Zum Eingang) Only stanzas 1 and 3 are actually heard here. 1. Wohin soll ich mich wenden, wenn Gram und Schmerz mich drücken? Wem künd' ich mein Entzücken, wenn freudig pocht mein Herz? Zu dir, zu dir, o Vater, komm ich in Freud' und Leiden, du sendest ja die Freuden, du heilest jeden Schmerz. 2. Ach, wenn ich dich nicht hätte, was wär' mir Erd' und Himmel? Ein Bannort jede Stätte, ich selbst in Zufalls Hand. Du bist's, der meinen Wegen ein sich'res Ziel verleihet, und Erd' und Himmel weihet zu süßem Heimatland. 3. Doch darf ich Dir mich nahen ...

Vanessa Mae - The Storm by Antonio Vivaldi
Vanessa Mae - The Storm by Antonio Vivaldi Vanessa Mae, violin - 'The Storm' by Antonio Vivaldi ~ live performance - 1997 ~ *** Vanessa-Mae Vanakorn Nicholson, known professionally as Vanessa-Mae (in Chinese: 陳美, Chén Měi), is an internationally known British pop and classical musician, especially noted for her violin skills. Her music style is self-described as "violin techno-acoustic fusion", as several of her albums prominently feature the techno style. Vanessa-Mae was born in Singapore to a Thai father (Varaprong Vanakorn, who is now a Thai monk) and a Chinese mother (Pamela Tan). After her parents separated, her mother married Briton Graham Nicholson, and the family moved to England when Vanessa-Mae was four years old, but they separated many years ago. She grew up in London and is a British citizen. She was educated at the independent Francis Holland School in London. Vanessa-Mae, born 27 October 1978, coincidentally shares her birthday with famed violinist Niccolò Paganini, who was born 196 years earlier on 27 October 1782. Vanessa-Mae began playing piano at the age of three and violin at five. She was particularly famous in the United Kingdom throughout her childhood making regular appearances on television (for example on Blue Peter) mostly involving classical music and conservative style. According to Guinness World Records, she is the youngest soloist to record both the Beethoven and Tchaikovsky violin concertos, a feat she accomplished at the age of thirteen.[1] During this time she attended the ...
Samuel Barber Sings His Composition, "Dover Beach", Op. 3
Samuel Barber Sings His Composition, "Dover Beach", Op. 3 This brooding song for baritone and string quartet, written in the days preceding World War II, might be taken as an attempt to warn, for it sets with almost miraculous appropriateness one of the grimmest poems of World War I. Incidentally, Barber was a well-trained singer, and singing this piece, became perhaps the only classical composer to sing one of his own works on a professional, major-label recording.
Classical Music Composer Felix Mendelssohn - Classical Music Wedding
Classical Music Composer Felix Mendelssohn - Classical Music Wedding listenclassicalmusic.blogspot.com http Classical Music Composer:Felix Mendelssohn Classical Music: Wedding March Felix Mendelssohn's "Wedding March", written in 1842, is one of the best known of the pieces from his suite of incidental music (Op. 61) to Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream. It is one of the most frequently used wedding marches, generally being played on a church pipe organ. At weddings in many English-speaking countries, this piece is commonly used as a recessional, though frequently stripped of its episodes in this context. It is normally not used in Roman Catholic weddings because it is not sacred music. It is frequently teamed with the "Bridal Chorus" from Richard Wagner's opera Lohengrin, or with Jeremiah Clarke's "Prince of Denmark's March", both of which are often played for the entry of the bride. The first time that Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" was used at a wedding was when Dorothy Carew wed Tom Daniel at St Peters Church, Tiverton, UK, on 2 June 1847. However, it did not become popular at weddings until it was selected by Victoria, The Princess Royal for her marriage to Prince Frederick William of Prussia on 25 January 1858. The bride was the daughter of Queen Victoria, who loved Mendelssohn's music and for whom Mendelssohn often played while on his visits to Britain. An organ on which Mendelssohn gave recitals of the "Wedding March", among other works, is housed in St Ann's Church in Tottenham. Vladimir Horowitz transcribed the Wedding ...
Vanessa Mae - 'The Sabre Dance' by Aram Khachaturian
Vanessa Mae - 'The Sabre Dance' by Aram Khachaturian Vanessa Mae - The Sabre Dance' by Aram Khachaturian (video) The Saber Dance (Armenian: Սուսերով Պար) is a movement in the final act of the Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian's ballet Gayane, completed in 1942. It evokes a whirling war dance in an Armenian dance, where the dancers display their skill with sabers. Due to its exceptionally exciting rhythm, "The Saber Dance" established a place for itself in common concert practice, leading also to various adaptations in popular music. In its middle section it uses an Armenian folk song from Gyumri, Armenia. *** Vanessa-Mae, born 27 October 1978, coincidentally shares her birthday with famed violinist Niccolò Paganini, who was born 196 years earlier on 27 October 1782.

PURCELL: Rondeau From Abdelazer Suite (Instrumental)
PURCELL: Rondeau From Abdelazer Suite (Instrumental) Passing Through: www.youtube.com - Friends, Please visit my Poet friend "Passing Through's" YouTube channel: www.youtube.com , and support him - Thanks :) Henry Purcell (September 10, 1659--November 21, 1695), a Baroque composer, is generally considered to be one of England's greatest composers. He has often been called England's finest native composer. Purcell incorporated Italian and French stylistic elements but devised a peculiarly English style of Baroque music. Abdelazer or The Moor's Revenge is a musical composition based upon the Play Abdelazer by Aphra Behns, a tragedy. Abdelazer is the son of the King of Fez who has been captured and killed by the King of Spain. Devoting his life to revenge, Abdelazer begins by accepting the advances of the lascivious Queen of Spain, and then proceeds to slay the King of Spain, his son, and then the Queen herself. He is finally slain by the King's other son, Philip.

Schubert - Serenade
Schubert - Serenade A video I made with Franz Schubert's "Serenade". Franz Peter Schubert (January 31, 1797 November 19, 1828) was an Austrian composer. He wrote some 600 Lieder, nine symphonies (including the famous "Unfinished Symphony"), liturgical music, operas, some incidental music, and a large body of chamber and solo piano music. He is particularly noted for his original melodic and harmonic writing. Schubert was born into a musical family, and received formal musical training through much of his childhood. While Schubert had a close circle of friends and associates who admired his work (amongst them the prominent singer Johann Michael Vogl), wide appreciation of his music during his lifetime was limited at best. He was never able to secure adequate permanent employment, and for most of his career he relied on the support of friends and family. He made some money from published works, and occasionally gave private musical instruction. In the last year of his life he began to receive wider acclaim. He died at the age of 31, apparently of complications from syphilis. Interest in Schubert's work increased dramatically in the decades following his death. Composers like Franz Liszt, Robert Schumann and Felix Mendelssohn discovered, collected, and championed his works in the 19th century, as did musicologist Sir George Grove. Franz Schubert is now widely considered to be one of the greatest composers in the Western tradition.
