syrakusos Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 When she sings high notes. Her voice takes on a particularly ecstatic quality in the upper register. For her, above the staff would be G on up (treble clef). The highest note in this piece is a B natural I believe (might be a B-flat), it comes at the end. Shivers me timbers when she does that.Like when the cat gets in the way and you step on her tail.Sorry... you know, I really try to like voice, but we have perfected instruments that surpass what a voice sounds like on the outside. Like drumming, singing is meant to be experienced by the performer. At best, it is just a way to get the meaning of the words to resonate inside your skull.

Frankly, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Anyway, Carl Nielsen came up on another thread, I’ve never been a huge fan, but the 1st movement of his 2nd symphony always hits the spot: Dragonfly, you’ve really been on a roll the last couple days…or rather, you’ve been on the wing?

I grew up going to Cleveland Orchestra concerts at Severance Hall.

9thdoctor Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Ah! So, when it comes to music, you are a socialist: music is something that other people do for you, not something you do for yourself.Your interpretations of what people write are often bizarre, you know that, right? Do you do this on purpose, and do you put effort into it? Socialist? Sounds more like a normal division of labor system, could be capitalist or socialist.My experience is a lot of heavy breathing, not so much yowling, but obviously we dated different girls.I’m certain we did, but I suspect the difference in our experiences is related to our disparate levels of physical endowment and skill. On wings of song,my love, I'll carry you awayto the fields of the GangesWhere I know the most beautiful place.There lies a red-flowering garden,in the serene moonlight,the lotus-flowers awaitTheir beloved sister.The violets giggle and cherish,and look up at the stars,The roses tell each other secretlyTheir fragant fairy-tales.The gentle, bright gazelles,pass and listen;and in the distance murmursThe waves of the holy stream.There we will lay down,under the palm-tree,and drink of love and peacefulnesAnd dream our blessed dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syrakusos Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) I suspect the difference in our experiences is related to our disparate levels of physical endowment and skill.There is no need to apologize, certainly not to me.It is not that I do not enjoy "classical" music. I do, indeed, the full range of it, from the medieval to the modern. I even have recreations of ancient Greek music. But here in southeast Michigan, we have Arab-language radio and I like their music, also, especially as electronic or techno. Knowing the ancient music, I can hear how it evolved in both the East and the West. For the millennium, Time magazine, I think, called Western classical music one of the 100 best inventions of the last 1000 years. We tend to see only the named composer ... Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Bartok ... as lone geniuses. We never see them as entrepreneurs and directors of organizations. They had students, all of them. No one could do all of that manuscripting and sheeting by hand alone. (Similarly, Nobel laureates are often creators of eponymous laboratories where their ideas become realizations.) The composers whom we admire were, indeed, lone geniuses. But what it is about the performance that we admire? The way it makes us feel? I suppose so. You and Dragonfly never post a video to say, "Watch the second violinist" or "Listen to the oboe." You seem to take it all in as a gestalt of oceanic wash -- and that's fine, as far as it goes. For me, the beauty is in the structure, not the facade. That is why I prefer to watch the orchestra, not just listen to the music. Same way with sports. I'm not any kind of jock, can't name a single Tiger. Redwing or Piston. But when I watch, I like it live so that I can follow the ball rather than having the camera show me what someone else wants me to see. I like to watch the percussionist reading along for her cue, taking out her triangle, tapping it, damping it, and putting it away. ... oh, sex again... Edited May 19, 2010 by Michael E.

Rich Engle Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 OK. I know what you are talking about. I grew up going to Cleveland Orchestra concerts at Severance Hall. We all like to listen, you know, but, when you get right down to it, music happens inside you, or ... well, it happens inside me, even if it does not happen inside you.And sopranos sound like cats in heat, which you think is how a teenage girl sounds climaxing. My experience is a lot of heavy breathing, not so much yowling, but obviously we dated different girls.Ah, the good old Cleveland Orchestra. Best orchestra in the world, for my buck. I mean, the George Szell years were legacy, and they have always gone through changes, but, they have two great homes--Severance got a wonderful makeover, and then of course there is Blossom Music Center.I guess some sopranos sound like cats, but it depends on the soprano. Not for sissies. I've heard a lot of them, especially during the time I spent with Lyric Opera Cleveland. And also, there's nothing like a good mezzo.But speaking of singers, the non-highbrow stuff can tickle the ivories. Here's a sweet Tori Amos video: Lyrics:"Winter"Snow can waitI forgot my mittensWipe my noseGet my new boots onI get a little warm in my heartWhen I think of winterI put my hand in my father's gloveI run offWhere the drifts get deeperSleeping beauty trips me with a frownI hear a voice"Your must learn to stand up for yourselfCause I can't always be around"He saysWhen you gonna make up your mindWhen you gonna love you as much as I doWhen you gonna make up your mindCause things are gonna change so fastAll the white horses are still in bedI tell you that I'll always want you nearYou say that things change my dearBoys get discovered as winter meltsFlowers competing for the sunYears go by and I'm here still waiting Withering where some snowman wasMirror mirror where's the crystal palaceBut I only can see myselfSkating around the truth who I amBut I know dad the ice is getting thinWhen you gonna make up your mindWhen you gonna love you as much as I doWhen you gonna make up your mindCause things are gonna change so fastAll the white horses are still in bedI tell you that I'll always want you nearYou say that things change my dearHair is greyAnd the fires are burningSo many dreamsOn the shelfYou say I wanted you to be proud of meI always wanted that myselfHe saysWhen you gonna make up your mindWhen you gonna love you as much as I doWhen you gonna make up your mindCause things are gonna change so fastAll the white horses have gone aheadI tell you that I'll always want you nearYou say that things changeMy dear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xray Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) In our English class we had an exchange teacher from Scotland who played some Hamish Imlach songs to us.

Selene Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 This has to be one of the most interesting threads that I have had the time to go over from start to finish.It is approaching five years in length. It has links and references to some phenomenal music spanning several genres. It is a lot spotty on jazz, unfortunately. Moreover, it seemed to start with a sheer childlike innocence with Kori, Angie, Kat and a few others just expressing pure exuberance and freely placing link after link of great popular music.I truly enjoyed it.One post had Leonard Cohen and Judy Collins singing Suzanne. Cohen is no singer, but he is the lyricist of Hallelujah which has been a recent topic of conversation, and, enjoyment at my residence since Barbara's birthday, when I posted the "Free Hugs" video which had that song as the background. It was also in Shrek.At any rate, many artists have performed this piece, including it's author[he is no singer], K.D. Lang performed the song with a perfect passion that is unmatched in my opinion. Every once in a while everything comes together for an artist and this was one of those instances, please enjoy her perfect performance : Here are the lyrics. The wiki link is here and it goes into the biblical references as well as the incremental progression within the song:"Hallelujah", in its original version, is a song in "12/8 feel", which evokes the styles of both waltz and gospel music. Written in the key of C major, the chord progression follows the lyric "it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, and the major lift": C, F, G, A minor, F.[1] Cohen's original version contains several biblical references, most notably evoking the stories of Samson and traitorous Delilah from the Book of Judges as well as the adulterous King David and Bathsheba[2]: "she cut your hair" and "you saw her bathing on the roof, her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you".[1] "Hallelujah" I've heard there was a secret chordThat David played, and it pleased the LordBut you don't really care for music, do you?It goes like thisThe fourth, the fifthThe minor fall, the major liftThe baffled king composing HallelujahHallelujahHallelujahHallelujahHallelujahYour faith was strong but you needed proofYou saw her bathing on the roofHer beauty and the moonlight overthrew youShe tied you to a kitchen chairShe broke your throne, and she cut your hairAnd from your lips she drew the HallelujahBaby I have been here beforeI know this room, I've walked this floorI used to live alone before I knew you.I've seen your flag on the marble archLove is not a victory marchIt's a cold and it's a broken HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahThere was a time you let me knowWhat's really going on belowBut now you never show it to me, do you?And remember when I moved in with youThe holy dove was moving tooAnd every breath we drew was HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahMaybe there’s a God aboveBut all I’ve ever learned from loveWas how to shoot at someone who outdrew youIt’s not a cry you can hear at nightIt’s not somebody who has seen the lightIt’s a cold and it’s a broken HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahYou say I took the name in vainI don't even know the nameBut if I did, well really, what's it to you?There's a blaze of light in every wordIt doesn't matter which you heardThe holy or the broken HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahI did my best, it wasn't muchI couldn't feel, so I tried to touchI've told the truth, I didn't come to fool youAnd even though it all went wrongI'll stand before the Lord of SongWith nothing on my tongue but HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studiodekadent Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 "Death Cures All Pain" - Originally by Suicide Commando but this is the [:SITD:] Remix. More subtle and quiet than the original version, but really good nonetheless. I'd say its up there with the original, possibly even better.

Guyau Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Just came across this perfect rendering of this song. The verse is more for the time earth is opposite the current position in its orbit, at least in this hemisphere, but I don't want to wait till we get back around to the other side. Too eager to share this, so you have it now. Perfection. Samuel Barber, composerJames Agee, poetAndrew Swait, boy soprano~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sure on this shining nightOf starmade shadows round,Kindness must watch for meThis side the ground.The late year lies down the north. All is healed, all is health. High summer holds the earth.Hearts all whole. Sure on this shining night I weep for wonder wand'ring far alone Of shadows on the stars.
