In honour of VNV nation making their way here to North America, and coming to Alberta, we at DWR present their song “Legion”.
For those who like a more classical take on the piece.
Enveloped in a sentiment
A sound that rushes over me
Engage an impulse to pretend
I have a faith as pure
Not forgetting what it means to dream
Indulging everything
Entertaining thoughts that I’ve the strength
Of those I yearn to be
Cheers and tribute greet the saviors
Reckless thoughts survive
Anachronistic and impulsive
And what will happen?
Will I dream?
I am too scared to close my eyes
For a second please hold me
Malagueña Salerosa — also known as La Malagueña — is a well-known Son Huasteco or Huapango song from Mexico, which has been covered more than 200 times[1] by recording artists.
The song is that of a man telling a woman (from Málaga, Spain) how beautiful she is, and how he would love to be her man, but that he understands her rejecting him for being too poor.
Bonus – What is up with those strings? The answer below the fold dear readers.
The CBC always comes through for me providing this helpful video on things that one just simply needs to know while on the rigorous path to classical musicianship.
The viola/trombone burn is strong with this one. :)
I hear beautiful music on the CKUA morning show, and then I have to share it, and furtively download the sheet music so I can reconfirm that is way above my grade level. :)
“It is common practice in the drafting of the oboe concerto by Alessandro Marcello, resorting in the second set on a decorated version of Johann Sebastian Bach. This comes from BWV 974 and provides an Italian of 16 edits concertos for harpsichord solo, which fall Bach anfertigte to 1713th
In studying the harpsichord version is noted that Bach not only the Oboe (and this not only in the slow movement) changed, but partially massively intervened in the accompaniment in the original work.
Some detail changes are solely due to the instrumentation, for example, Trill on long notes, chords, and the omission of the most repeated phrases that are played by the violins in the original one by the oboe and again.
Of course, the retransmission of the harpsichord version in the original cast, the risk of generating instrument specifically atypical phrases harbors. The insight into Bach’s employment with Italian music, its exact notation of ornaments otherwise usually free running and the mastery with which he has enriched with small interventions the composition, that risk is worth it.”
