God rest you merry, gentlemen

Christmas is impossible to escape the Christmas, so it's best to resign and, within the possible, try to be selective and listen to those who more like us. And there are, although sometimes the saturation prevents us from realizing it.

This time we will focus our attention on a carol of English origin that is not usually hear too here, which can help you listen with fresher ears. This is God rest you merry, gentlemen , author unknown, unknown origin and a variable spelling title, but in any case a very beautiful melody.

say that its origin is uncertain because, although the music seems to indicate that we have a piece of the fifteenth century, the truth is that it was not published until 1833. Apparently, there are reports indicating that it had been published before, in 1760 and then was announced as "a new Christmas carol," a new Christmas carol. If so, the Renaissance would be nothing but a sham, but a very well done fake.

also said that its title is variable because it is not uncommon to find versions titled God rest ye, merry gentlemen , with the archaic form "ye" instead of "you" and the comma before the word "merry" and not behind. We know that the first publication to be preserved, that of 1833, as well as references to its publication in 1760 is always used as "you", as usual in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, so the use of the form "ye" is just an addition to the fraud that we have discussed with the aim of giving the piece a false patina of antiquity.

More curious is the usual error when placing a comma. Well located, the translation would be "God keep you happy, gentlemen." However, it is very common to see it written after the word "merry", which does not make much sense. The reason for this failure is that the use of the word "rest" to mean "keep" and use the subjunctive, are no longer common in English. Many of those who sing this carol at present do not know what they are saying (not so rare, does anyone know why we say "walk, walk, walk" or "fum, fum, fum"?) And its attempt to find coherent meaning choose one that is not appropriate.

And after this discussion that possibly only INTERESTED be crazy to philologists, or myself, we'll hear a couple of versions of God rest you merry, gentlemen for everyone to stay with the one you like. In the first, the choir of King's College, Cambridge sing an arrangement of David Willcock. The second is performed by Jethro Tull.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

The harmonious blacksmith Handel

In 1720, Handel published its first eight Suites for harpsichord. Among them there is a movement, namely the last of the Suite No. 5 in E major HWV 430, composed of an aria and five variations, which is famous in itself and is called The Harmonious Blacksmith (the harmonious blacksmith).

There are several legends explaining the origin of the name. According to one of them, a surprise storm while working on Handel Cannons for the Duke of Chandos and took refuge in a smithy. There, the sound of hammer hitting anvil inspired this tune, whose first variation repeat the note in the right hand of the blacksmith hammering recalls.

Another variant says that what Handel was inspired melody who sang the blacksmith, which took the basis for the aria. This variant is particularly consistent with the habit of borrowing tunes that had Handel, but the fact is that both versions are false.

was not really until the nineteenth century, a time when this movement began to gain popularity as interpreted from the rest of the suite, which became known under the name The Harmonious Blacksmith . Richard Clark was the first writer who referred to this nomenclature in his book Reminescences of Handel (1836). Clark himself invented a story that the blacksmith who named the piece was William Powell, when the reality is Powell had been the pastor of the parish of Whitchurch, where Handel played the organ. That did not stop the residents of Whitchurch raise funds to dedicate a plaque to the memory of Powell the blacksmith, which was later changed to another one that is already mentioned his true profession.

More plausible seems another version which would be the harmonious blacksmith William Lintern, an apprentice blacksmith in Bath which later turned to music and opened a shop selling sheet music of Handel and other composers . Apparently, the movement Lintern published under the title question The Harmonious Blacksmith because that was his nickname (the flashlight) and the piece in question was his favorite and most often played the harpsichord.

Whatever the origin of the name, in the strictly musical there are unsolved mysteries. A bourrée Richard Jones features the same melody of the aria, but in a minor key. Copied "Handel to Handel Jones or Jones? It is not known, although the fact that a similar tune appears in Handel's opera Almira, made earlier, makes the Saxon has more credibility as possible to the original author. Let's hear

The Harmonious Blacksmith , aria and five variations (sixteenths in right hand; sixteenths in the left hand triplets sixteenth notes in the right and left hands and eighth notes in both hands) on the interpretation of Trevor Pinnock.

Lou Harrison: Tributes to Charon

Lou Harrison (1917-2003) was an American composer who was among his teachers to Arnold Schoenberg and Henry Cowell and among his friends, John Cage and Charles Ives. During his career he became interested in world music, incorporating elements of various traditions in his compositions, and everyday items (clocks, car brakes ...). Also moved away from the understanding of Western music in its use of just intonation system instead of equal temperament and his use of microtones, what about other contemporary composers such as Ligeti and Scelsi. Many times he has been considered a forerunner of the Minimalists, but their interests were very different.

His work Tributes to Charon, for percussion trio and alarm clock is one of many who wrote in the 1930 for percussion ensemble and used to play himself with help from his friends. The second movement was composed in 1939 at the request of John Cage, but the former was not released until 1982, but Harrison had already designed its structure and instrumentation from the beginning. Despite its brevity, this piece is evident Harrison's interest in the variety of timbre, the transformation of melodic motifs and formal coherence.

Lou Harrison's intention with this piece was to illustrate the story of Persephone, abducted by Pluto to become his wife, who spends half years accompanying him in the underworld (Movement I: Passage Through Darkness) and the other half in the area with her mother, Ceres, goddess of grain (movement II: Counterdance in the Spring).

listen Tributes to Charon played by Graziano Colella, Claudio Marchetti and Didier Bellon, led by Guido Facchin.

The Five

The Aida which was performed Sunday at the Palau de les Arts Verdi was not, however much you see the Italian composer's name on posters, but of Maazel. In any case, I should say something like "adaptation of the original work of Giuseppe Verdi." That said, I fully understand the astonishment and even negative reactions that you can read for those cibercampos of the Lord, because he expected to meet with Verdi's Aida can keep a disappointment. However, we continue to Maazel for years we have grown accustomed to his peculiar way of running up to a devotion. We maazeladictos and we let it.

Lorin Maazel begins what will be his last year at the helm of the orchestra he created giving a further twist to his peculiar notion of direction with very slow tempi but intense that allows the orchestral brilliance (the sound gets This training is very beautiful) and that puts more of a hurry to choir and soloists. And even the public: there were several times yesterday in which I myself could not tell if there were disturbances at the entrance of the chorus and some soloists or was my mind that he was unable to keep pace so leisurely baton and was ahead events. As so often happens in Les Arts, best of the function were the orchestra and choir. This last one looks especially in the highly sensitive and hyper-internal slowed in the first act, second scene.

As soloists, highlighted the Amneris of Daniela Barcellona, \u200b\u200bwho is debuting the role in these functions. May disappoint the lovers of the great Verdi voices because neither volume nor by density, or by serious can approach the great references in this role. However, it is a very intelligent singer who knows how to capitalize on their strengths and just pulling out the role excellently. Some reservoirs, although correct in the first three acts, is in the fourth act where he displays all his vocal and interpretive resources, making his duet with Jorge de León is high voltage.

I liked the Radames of Jorge de León , courageous and dedicated but with a very limited range of hues. Appeal to those who know how to forgive the latter in exchange for listening to this rare bird that is a true spinto voice with a sharp release and you do not ever hesitate to look can and deafening volume. Too bad a certain lack of homogeneity between acute and half their areas.

Indra Thomas in the role of Aida, made yesterday the last of their performances in this set of functions and also the best, say those who have attended other. This is a soprano with serious shortcomings, among which a voice totally stuck behind a bad pronunciation (the typical potato in the mouth of many Anglo-Saxon singers) and the annoying habit of breathing where he wants, charging any approach to legato singing. Also has strengths, notably the volume, which makes it stand out in the overall numbers despite that its projection is not adequate and easily at the high end but not enough to lift the paper. Also, is dramatically at odds with the implicadísima Barcellona. Overall, the best we can say the best of their performances is that at least muddied not the work of his fellow actors.

A pleasant surprise was hearing Giacomo Prestia as Ramfis, because it has a bass voice of truth, and great sound and nothing serious pitfalls. I also liked Spotti Marco, Il Re, for the same reason although the instrument is more discreet.

as Amonasro Gevorg Hakobyan has the same handicap Barcellona, \u200b\u200blacks character pasta and Verdi, but while the know meet your shortfalls Barcellona with great skill, the young Georgian baritone does not exceed the limits of the correction. Okay

Javier Agulló as a messenger and Sandra Ferrandez as high priestess.

Regarding the staging of David McVicar , passed by the outrageous censorship Helga Schmidt, can be summarized in just two ideas. 1: Where there should be no samurai Egyptians. 2: The scene is empty and dark. The first of these two ideas have the advantage of avoiding the air kitsch in which just falling all staged faithful to the script. It also gets piss lovers cardboard, which is always good. The second idea does nothing, but at least come cheap. The only thing I liked was that the controversial scene of human sacrifice (Act I, Table II), overly distracting the viewer's attention is more focused on the extras that the poor Jorge de Leon, who is who should shine .

Maazel Aida Argentine popular songs by Alberto Ginastera

Within the pro-Ginastera campaign that I am carrying out, today we will hear their Five Argentine folk songs. This work part of the first stage of the evolution of the author, the self-styled "objective nationalism ', which are reproduced verbatim quotes from the popular music of Argentina, although it is possible to find reminescencias of authors such as Manuel de Falla. The texts of the songs belong to popular songs.

The first of the pieces, Chacarera is a fast-paced dance tripartite from northern Argentina.

Chacarera
I like the cream
And touched me ñata
Nato will
marriage ñato And the result.
When I sing chacareras
me want to mourn
Because I represent
Catamarca and Tucumán.

Here comes Sad , a type of dance characterized by its melancholy tone with a slow introduction and a melody in the form of recitative in which the piano arpeggios of the guitar imitating a gaucho. Sad

Beneath a lime
Where water is not running
gave my heart
A who did not deserve.

Sad is the day without sun Sad
the moonless night
sad But
want without waiting.

The third piece, Zamba (not "samba"), is a dance of Peruvian origin with a binary rhythm of 6 / 8 and a text almost always melancholy. Zamba


Even the rocks of Mount
And the sands of the sea
tell me you do not want
And I can not forget.

If you stole my heart
Yours thou give me
The alien thing that takes
With his own must pay

Fourth, Arrorró , a traditional lullaby.

Arrorró
Arrorró my baby,
Arrorró my sun,

Arrorró piece of my heart.
This cute baby wants to sleep is

And the rogue
dream will not come.

Finally Cat, a traditional dance of brisk pace divided into six parts. Cat


Cat
my house is very gauchito
But when you dance
Zapateadito.
pine guitar strings
wire.
Both girls want, I say
as large.
That girl dancing
Much love her
But not
That sister sister I have. That sister

If I have, please forward
Although it is not your master,
I mean, I like to see.

Song of the Indian merchant Sadko (Rimsky-Korsakov)

Recently I saw the version of the opera Sadko of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov you can easily find in any trade led in 1996 by Valery Gergiev, with Vladimir Galouzine in the title role. My favorite piece from this opera, original call me, is the song of the Indian merchant, which this time is played by Gegam Gregorian. I feared the worst and was not really that bad, Gregorian manages to save the furniture yet. The fact is that for some days I'm looking for different versions of this famous aria and I found a handful of excellent performances and a few happened to Mars share with you.

For those not familiar with the work or the aria in question, we say that Sadko is an opera which tells the story of the troubadour and travel that gives its name to the work. At one point, Sadka must decide the fate of your trip, so he asks three merchants, a Viking, an Indian and a Venetian, who sing the virtues of their countries. Of the three, the Venetian will be who will get convincing, although the Indian who has the most inspired aria.

Suite Panambí, Alberto Ginastera

After a pause, return to the fray with Alberto Ginastera . If in a previous post said that his most famous work is the Suite of dances from Estancia , made with material taken from his ballet Estancia it impossible to find a dance company to represent him, today we have to say no was that the first time that he resorted to Ginastera suite format to present ballet music that was not who the dance. In fact, the first resort to this strategy was the first work of making up its catalog, Panambí Suite, which uses four numbers Panambí ballet, composed over two years during Williams studied at the Conservatory. Ginastera composed the ballet without having hopes for its staging, but the success of the suite, released by the director Juan Jose Castro at the Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires in 1937, made the same theater was interested in the work that originated and that it saw birth in 1940. As noted earlier, Lincoln Kirstein, director of the Ballet Caravan, was so impressed by the ballet Panambí that Ginastera composition commissioned a ballet for his company and that trust would stay ballet.

Panambí Ballet, Choreography Legend is based on the mythology of the Guarani Indians, inhabitants of the banks of the Parana and Paraguay. In the suite, Ginastera changed the order of numbers, so it is impossible to follow the original story listening. The first of four movements, descriptive, of course, is entitled moon on the Paraná. Then bursting percussion, complemented by the brass, the invocation to the spirits powerful. Follows a lyrical movement to the surface, the maids Lament, in which the strings form a soft mattress. Finally, percussion redo entry into the Indian Fiesta-Dance of the warriors , with its tribal reminescencias pace.

Bomarzo, opera

I am very poor reader and therefore wait for the summer soil sink his teeth into novels, which read at times of year in which I'm more busy could last forever. This summer it came his turn, among others, Bomarzo , the Argentine writer Manuel Mujica Lainez. This novel chronicles the life of Pier Francesco Orsini, called Vicino by their relatives, a noble of the Italian Renaissance marked by his deformity (he was hunchbacked and lame) who is remembered for having created the garden of monsters, a group of sculptures of dark meaning in his palace Bomarzo. In the pages of the book go celebrities: Renaissance artists, nobles, popes, alchemists ... and such important events as the coronation of Charles V and the Battle of Lepanto, narrated with lots of details, always through the eyes of the protagonist. Magic also plays an important role as Vicino's life is marked by the supernatural from the moment of his birth, when an astrologer predicted his immortality.

knew of the existence of an opera with music Alberto Ginastera and libretto by Manuel Mujica Lainez thereof based on the novel, so the time advantage ginasteriana is going through the blog, I got a recording of its premiere and heard recently. This premiere took place in Washington in 1967 and recording with the handicaps of making some poor sound, poor pronunciation of some interpreters, who may not know the meaning of his words and the tendency to scream wildly from the deal. The truth is that the twelve-tone style that combines singing and recitation lends itself to it, but there are times when you are missing a more restrained reading, particularly by the protagonist.

Interestingly, the book soon to be released in Argentina, as a last-minute ban by the de facto ruler Juan Carlos Ongania, because, I quote, " the argument of the piece and its staging revealed be at odds with basic moral principles regarding sexual assault ", led to its withdrawal from the lineup when everything was ready for release. The Buenos Aires had to wait until 1972 to see the play, when he had been represented in Washington, New York, Los Angeles, Kiel, Zurich and London. After his release, he recovered in 1984 and 2003.

Mujica Lainez used to joke with Ginastera opera saying that if it had been censored because of the score he had composed, and that the novel contained more sexual content and had passed the censorship. Ginastera, satirically, encouraged the government to ban any function Onganía opera, because he said that if Bomarzo had failed to pass the censor would not Don Giovanni, Tristan und Isolde and , much less Salome . We read an article on the subject (in English) published in 1967 in Time Magazine by clicking HERE .

My opinion about the opera is not over yet form, need to listen more often, possibly in a different version. And the ideal would be to see represented, then, as often happens with the operas composed in the twentieth century, the visual element becomes immensely important. The style is reminiscent enough to Alban Berg, twelve-tone mixing melody and sung word passages with others, although for some it remains this the hallmark of the author and does not give great strength is reached with the two operas of the Austrian author . However, it is a remarkable work, especially for the effectiveness with which creates a dark and oppressive atmosphere. I wish we had the chance to see represented in a English theater.

now hear the fifth scene of Bomarzo , Girolamo's death on the banks of the Tiber River as interpreted in Washington in 1967, premiere of the opera. The performers are Claramae Turner (Diana Orsini, Pier Francesco grandmother), Salvador Novoa (Pier Francesco Orsini) and Robert Gregory (Girolamo, his brother).

And then the final scene, with Claramae Turner, Salvador Novoa and David Prather in the role of the young pastor.
