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.
