Orchestra of the 17th Century: Gabrieli - Canzon noni toni a 12

Giovanni Gabrieli - Canzon noni toni a 12 (Excerpt) Orchestra of the 17th Century, Washington DC (period instrument ensemble) Michael Holmes, music director Recording: Made at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC About the performers: The Orchestra of the 17th Century ("O17"), directed by its founder Michael Holmes, is dedicated to the exploration and promotion of music from the century that saw the birth of the modern notion of the "orchestra." Since there was no standardized orchestra for most of the 17th century, each performance by O17 is a unique experience in instrumental color. Its audiences hear groups that feature a variety of wind instruments such as cornetts, sackbuts, curtals, shawms, and recorders, as well as performances that feature the more familiar large string group with continuo. O17 is now in its eighth season of its existence and still striving to produce more unique and fascinating programs otherwise difficult to produce due to the specialized use of period instruments. One of the subsets of O17 is the Washington Cornett and Sackbutt Ensemble, North America's premiere ensemble of its kind. Another subset is the Ensemble Stylus Luxurians. O17 released its first CD recording of Roman and Venetian music in the Fall of 2004, in collaboration with the Choir of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC Contact: musicdirector@uucss.org

Canzoni napoletane I' te voglio bene assaje di F Campanella R Sacco

I' te voglio bene assaje (R.Sacco- F. Campanella -G.Donizetti?) I' te voglio bene assaje, resta la prima e piu' famosa canzone che fu cantata a Piedigrotta. La musica piacevole ed i versi accattivanti fecero di questa canzone una vera ossessione per i napoletani. La si canto' per anni dappertutto ed in qualsiasi momento. Nacquero rivalita' tali che alcuni autori tentarono, invano, di sminuirla pubblicamente anche attraverso altri componimenti. Roberto Sacco, ottico nella Napoli del secolo scorso, compose la canzone nel 1835 cantandola per scherzo ad una festa tra amici. La leggenda vuole che la melodia del Donizetti (fu davvero lui l'autore della musica?) ed i versi del Sacco furono cantati dal popolo la sera stessa che l'avevano ascoltata in quella festa tra amici. Persino il Clero si interesso' alla cosa e Sacco (per non inimicarsi il Cardinale Riario Sforza) compose una variante "ecclesiale". La canzone porto' grande fama a Sacco ma pochi soldi. Rimase un ottico nella sua bottega, la stessa che oggi i suoi eredi gesticono nello stesso posto. I te voglio bene assaje Pecche' quanno me vide te 'ngrife comm''a gatto? Nenne' che t'aggio fatto? ca no mme puo' vede'? Io t''aggio amato tanto si t'amo tu lo saie Te voglio bene assaie e tu nun pienze a me! 'Nzomma, songo io lo fauzo? Appila, sie' maesta: Ca l'arta toia e' chesta: lo dico mmereta'. Lo jastemma' vuria lo juorno ca t'amaie! Te voglio bene assaie e tu nun pienze a me! La notte tutte dormeno, e io che buo' durmì ...

Antonín Dvořák: Stabat Mater II (Talich cond.)

Antonín Dvořák (1841-1904) Stabat Mater, Cantata for Soloists, Choir and Orchestra op. 58 (B 71, 1876-77) II. Quartetto. Andante sostenuto (Quis est homo, qui non fleret) Václav Talich Václav Talich (28 May 1883 16 March 1961) began his career as a talented violinistfirst in a student orchestra in Klatovy, then from 1897 to 1903 at the conservatory in Prague where he studied with the celebrated Otakar Ševčík. Finally he served as concert master of the Berlin Philharmonic, where a fateful turning point occurred. That orchestras chief conductor, Arthur Nikisch, so fascinated the twenty-one-year-old Talich that he decided to become a conductor himself. Then came fifteen years of wandering and gathering experience. In 1905 he worked in Odessa for a little less than a year, before moving to Tbilisi where he conducted for the very first time. For two years he tried to establish himself as a choirmaster and conductor in Prague, but then from 1908 to 1912 he served in Ljubljana as chief conductor of the Slovenian Philharmonic. Before the First World War broke out he was able to study in Leipzig with Max Reger and Arthur Nikisch, to spend several months studying in Milan, and to lead the opera company in Plzeň starting in 1912. From 1915 to 1918 he occasionally taught violin, performed as a violist with the famous Czech Quartet, studied scores, and in his free moments educated himselffor example by reading classical literature in Greek and Latin.

Concert piano virtuoso Jung Lin performs Franz Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2." This excerpt is taken from a program entitled "The Piano in World Civilization," featuring commentary by piano expert David Dubal.

-----

"The Piano in World Civilization" with David Dubal and Jung Lin in discussion and performance at the 2007 Aspen Ideas Festival.

In this, its third year, Aspen Ideas Festival once again gathers scientists, artists, politicians, historians, educators, activists, and other great thinkers around some of the most important and fascinating ideas of our time. As these thinkers present their provocative ideas, they engage a sophisticated and highly motivated audience.

Jung Lin is a classical pianist who has been acclaimed for her poetic and virtuosic performances. A native of Taiwan, she conducted her own orchestral works at age 12 and has won numerous competitions. At 16, her symphonic poem, The Black Wedding, was given its premiere by the Juilliard Symphony under Miguel Harth-Bedoya. Lin graduated with honors from the Juilliard School, and she has performed at such prestigious venues as the International Keyboard Institute and Festival, the Summit Festival in China, and at Alice Tully Hall at the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts. Late this year, Naxos will release Jung Lin's two all-Medtner CDs, including the first complete recording of the Russian composer's 38 Fairy Tales.

VIOLETTA (sola)
Ãˆ strano! Ãˆ strano! In core
scolpiti ho quegli accenti!
Saria per me sventura un serio amore?
Che risolvi, o turbata anima mia?
Null'uomo ancora t'accendeva -- O gioia
ch'io non conobbi, esser amata amando!
E sdegnarla poss'io
per l'aride follie del viver mio?
Ah, fors'Ã¨ lui che l'anima
solinga ne' tumulti
godea sovente pingere
de' suoi colori occulti!
Lui che modesto e vigile
all'egre soglie ascese,
e nuova febbre accese,
destandomi all'amor.
A quell'amor ch'Ã¨ palpito
dell'universo intero,
misterioso, altero,
croce e delizia al cor!
Follie! follie! Delirio vano Ã¨ questo!
Povera donna, sola,
abbandonata in questo
popoloso deserto
che appellano Parigi.
Che spero or piÃ¹?
Che far degg'io? Gioire,
di voluttÃ ne' vortici perir.
Gioir, gioir!
Sempre libera degg'io
folleggiare di gioia in gioia,
vo' che scorra il viver mio
pei sentieri del piacer.
Nasca il giorno, o il giorno muoia,
sempre lieta ne' ritrovi,
a diletti sempre nuovi
dee volare il mio pensier.

Amore, amor Ã¨ palpito...

sempre lieta ne' ritrovi,
a diletti sempre nuovi,

La Donna è Mobile - Giuseppe Verdi

La donna è mobile
Qual piuma al vento
Muta d'accento
E di pensiero

Sempre un'amabile
Leggiadro viso
In pianto o in riso
Ãˆ menzognero

La donna è mobil
Qual piuma al vento
Muta d'accento
E di pensier
E di pensier
E di pensier

è sempre misero
Chi a lei s'affida
Chi le confida
Mal cauto il core

Pur mai non sentesi
Felice appieno
Chi su quel seno
Non liba amore

La donna è mobil
Qual piuma al vento
Muta d'accento
E di pensier
E di pensier
E di pensier...

Gracia - William Tell Overture

Rossini's classical piece performed by three talented violin player ladies from Hungary

Tchaikovsky - None But The Lonely Hearts

Title : Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky,(None But The Lonely Hearts) Songs (6), Op. 6: no 6, None but the lonely heart.

This, one of Tchaikovsky's best-loved vocal pieces, comes from his collection of six songs, Op. 6. The fact that it was composed to a Russian translation of its original German text by Goethe often obscures its membership in the large family of setting of the same poem, "Nur wer die Sehnsucht kennt" (Only he who knows loneliness). One of Mignon's songs from the novel Wilhelm Meister, this text inspired most of the Romantic lieder composers, most notably Schubert, Schumann, and Wolf, to compose some of their most memorable settings; the poem's sense of desolate yearning speaks to the very heart of Romanticism, and Tchaikovsky certainly owed allegiance to that aesthetic.

Tchaikovsky's setting makes use of a syncopated chordal accompaniment; the lack of rhythmic grounding and the chromatic nature of chosen harmonies the inner harmony voices conspire to highlight the restless, disquieted tone of Goethe's text.

Johann Strauss II - The Blue Danube Waltz

Title : Johann Strauss II , The Blue Danube Waltz
Date : 1867

From Wikipedia,The Blue Danube is the common English title of An der schÃ¶nen blauen Donau op. 314 (On the Beautiful Blue Danube), a waltz by Johann Strauss II, composed in 1867. Originally performed 9 February 1867 at a concert of the Wiener MÃ¤nnergesangsverein (Vienna Men's Choral Association), it has been one of the most consistently popular pieces of music in the classical repertoire. Its initial performance was only a mild success, however, and Strauss is reputed to have said "The devil take the waltz, my only regret is for the coda -- I wish that had been a success!"

The waltz originally had an accompanying song text written by Josef Weyl. Strauss adapted it into a purely orchestral version for the World's Fair in Paris that same year, and it became a great success in this form. The instrumental version is by far the most commonly performed today. An alternate text by Franz von Gernerth, Donau so blau (Danube so blue), is also used on occasion.

The sentimental Viennese connotations of the piece have made it into a sort of unofficial Austrian national anthem. It is a traditional encore piece at the annual Vienna New Year's Concert. The first few bars are also the interval signal of Osterreich Rundfunk's overseas programs.

It is reported by composer Norman Lloyd in his "Golden Encyclopedia of Music" that when asked by Frau Strauss for an autograph, the composer Johannes Brahms autographed Mrs. Strauss's fan by writing on it the first few bars of the Blue Danube. Under it he wrote "Unfortunately not by Johannes Brahms".The work commences with an extended introduction in the key of A major with shimmering (tremolo) violins and a French horn spelling out the familiar waltz theme, answered by staccato wind chords, in a subdued mood. It rises briefly into a loud passage but quickly dies down into the same restful nature of the opening bars. A contrasting and quick phrase in D major anticipates the waltz before 3 quiet downward-moving bass notes "usher in" the first principal waltz melody.

The first waltz theme is familiar gently rising triad motif in cellos and horns in the tonic D major, accompanied by harps; the Viennese waltz beat is accentuated at the end of each 3-note phrase. The Waltz 1A triumphantly ends its rounds of the motif, and waltz 1B follows in the same key; the genial mood is still apparent.

Waltz 2A glides in quietly (still in D major) before a short contrasting middle section in B flat major. The entire section is repeated.

A more dour waltz 3A is introduced in G major before a fleeting eighth-note melodic phrase (waltz 3B). An loud Intrada (introduction) is then played. Waltz 4A starts off in a romantic mood (F major) before a more joyous waltz 4B in the same key.

After another short Intrada in A, cadencing in F-sharp minor, sonorous clarinets spell out the poignant melody of waltz 5A in A. Waltz 5B is the climax, punctuated by cymbal crashes. Each of these may be repeated at the discretion of the performer.

The coda recalls earlier sections (3A and 2A) before furious chords usher in a recap of the romantic Waltz 4A. The idyll is cut short as the waltz hurries back to the famous waltz theme 1A again. This statement is cut short, however, by the final codetta: a variation of 1A is presented, connecting to a rushing eighth-note passage in the final few bars: repeated tonic chords underlined by a snare drumroll and a bright-sounding flourish.

Taiwan: One-Girl Band a YouTube Sensation

A video of her playing three instruments at the same time has generated more than four million views in three weeks. While Asian girl bands such as the Wonder Girls and AKB 48 are achieving success around the globe, a "one-girl band" is attracting worldwide attention on the Internet with a video that has generated more than four million YouTube hits within three weeks. The video shows 25-year-old Shara Lin performing Jolin Tsai's "Dancing Diva" on the piano, violin, and zither all at the same time. Lin put the trio performance together within five days for a music training session mixing the classical music into Taiwanese pop music. To incorporate the different instruments, she held the violin by her neck, adjusted the positions of the zither pick, and arranged the positions of the instruments. [Shara Lin, Musical Artist]: "I think the toughest part is to play the piano and the zither simultaneously. We tried many times to finally figure out this position for my left hand to play the piano, and right hand to play the zither. When I have to look at both the piano and the zither, I really wish my eyes could grow wider apart, so if I have to play together, I must play by feel. I have to either feel the keys on the piano and look at the zither, or feel the strings on the zither and look at the piano." Lin is a music major at National Taiwan Normal University and has been playing the piano since she was three. Her love of music quickly expanded into other instruments including the violin, zither, guitar, jazz drums, and harmonica. Lin said she is willing to try other creative music performances, and whether or not she becomes famous, she looks forward to bringing her music to a wider audience.

Erik Satie - Gymnopédie No1 Orchestra

Title: Erik Satie - Gymnopédie No.1 ( Orchestra )

From Wikipedia, The Gymnopédies, published in Paris starting in 1888, are three piano compositions written by French composer and pianist, Erik Satie.

These short, atmospheric pieces are written in 3/4 time, with each sharing a common theme and structure. Collectively, the Gymnopédies are regarded as the precursors to modern ambient music[citation needed] - gentle yet somewhat eccentric pieces which, when composed, defied the classical tradition. For instance, the first few bars feature a disjunct chordal theme in the bass - first, a G-major 7th in the bass, and then a B-minor chord, also in the lower register. Then comes the one-note theme in D major. Although the collection of chords at first seems too complex to be harmonious, the melody soon imbues the work with a soothing atmospheric quality.

Satie himself used the term "furniture music" to refer to some of his pieces, implying they could be used as mood-setting background music. However, Satie used this term to refer to only some of his later, 20th century compositions, without specific reference to the Gymnopédies as background music. From the second half of the 20th century on, the Gymnopédies were often erroneously described as part of Satie's body of furniture music, perhaps due to John Cage's interpretation of them.
