Haunting Slow Airs

[Leo]

Not exactly a session tune, but Faure's Apres un Reve is slow and haunting, I think (hope!).

 

Apologies for it being in a windows-specific audio format.

Hi Danny

 

It works o.k. in Windows Media Player if downloaded, and plays o.k. in Firefox with their Media Player plugin.

 

Thanks

Leo

Art thou troubled and What is life without thee - Handel / Gluck / Kathleen Ferrier et al.

 

Sure I mentioned this before but unfind anywhere and a real tear jerker.....Am sure Clive Williams and Sandy of mainly the other parish could really produced something magnificent

 

Handel, Rodelinda, art thou troubled ((dove sei amato?), sung by Kathleen Ferrier (apparently in F Major)

http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/scorchVPE.asp?ppn=SC0010269

youtube also with Life without thee first

 

lyrics: by W. G. Rothery (1651 - 1700) so well out of copyright...

 

Art thou troubled? Music will calm thee,

Art thou weary? Rest shall be thine,

Music, source of all gladness,

Heals thy sadness at her shrine,

Music, music, ever divine,

Music music calleth with voice divine.

 

When the welcome spring is smiling,

All the earth will flow’rs beguiling,

After winter’s dreary reign,

Sweetest music doth attend her,

Heav’nly harmonies doth lend her,

Chanting praises in her train.

 

(from "Rodelinda", 1725; trans. by W. G. Rothery)

Not easy to find readable lyrics and music together so praps someone else will have more luck.

here's a youtube with Gluck's Orfeo & Euridice lyrics below

:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7h_LuVVoyg

"What is life to me without thee?

What is left if thou art dead?

What is life; life without thee?

What is life without my love?

What is left if thou art dead?

 

Eurydice! Eurydice!

Ah, hear me. Oh, answer! Oh answer!

Thy dear lord am I so faithful,

My dear lord am I, who loves thee,

Who doth love thee!

 

What is life to me without thee?

What is left if thou art dead?

What is life; life without thee?

What is life without my love?

What is left if thou art dead?

 

Eurydice! Eurydice!

In my dread anguish nought can aid me,

None can comfort.

Earth is cruel, heav'n is cold!

 

What is life to me without thee?

What is left if thou art dead?

What is life; life without thee?

What is left if thou art dead?

If thou art dead?

If thou art dead?"

Italian youtube and lyrics - just for reference........

Che farò senza Euridice?

Dove andrò senza il mio ben?

Che faro, Dove andrò

Che faro senza il mio ben?

Dove andrò senza il mio ben?

 

Euridice! Euridice!

Oh Dio! Rispondi!......Rispondi!

 

Io son pure il tuo fedel!

Io son pure il tuo fedel!

Io tuo fedel!

 

Che farò senza Euridice?

Dove andrò senza il mio ben?

Che faro, Dove andrò

Che faro senza il mio ben?

Dove andrò senza il mio ben?

 

Euridice! Euridice!

 

Ah! non m’avanza

Più soccorso, più speranza,

Nè dal mondo, nè dal ciel!

 

Che farò senza Euridice?

Dove andrò senza il mio ben?

Che faro, Dove andrò

Che faro senza il mio ben?

Che faro, Dove andrò

Che faro senza il mio ben?

senza il mio ben?

senza il mio ben?

Art thou troubled and What is life without thee - Handel / Gluck / Kathleen Ferrier et al.

 

And, speaking of Kathleen Ferrier, "Blow the wind southerly" is a very poignant song, too.

 

Cheers,

John

There's a Northumbrian version with ABC at

which might make interesting tina and pipes combination -

 

Last Rose of summer (no Ferrier alas)

There was an interesting pipes and harmonica rendition of the Last rose of summer at Swaledale in the early hours hours of Sunday but it is still stuck in long sound file.....

Some offerings here:

 

and flautist/whistle at Andre Rieu concert:

I found the name of the whistle player eventually, but not to hand unless someone wants it.

 

'Tis the last rose of summer,

Left blooming all alone,

All her lovely companions

Are faded and gone.

No flower of her kindred,

No rose bud is nigh,

To reflect back her blushes,

Or give sigh for sigh.

 

I'll not leave thee, thou lone one,

To pine on the stem;

Since the lovely are sleeping,

Go sleep thou with them;

'Thus kindly I scatter

Thy leaves o'er the bed

Where thy mates of the garden

Lie scentless and dead.

 

So soon may I follow

When friendships decay,

And from love's shining circle

The gems drop away!

When true hearts lie withered

And fond ones are flown

Oh! who would inhabit

This bleak world alone?

 

Letzte Rose, wie magst du

so einsam hier blühn?

Deine freundlichen Schwestern

sind längst, schon längst dahin.

Keine Blüte haucht Balsam

mit labendem Duft.

Keine Blättchen mehr flattern

in stürmischer Luft.

 

Warum blühst du so traurig

im Garten allein?

Sollst im Tod

mit den Schwestern,

mit den Schwestern

vereinigt sein.

Drum pflück ich, o Rose,

vom Stamme dich ab,

Du sollst ruhen am Herzen

und mit mir im Grab.

Here, posted with the permission of the composer - Mike Bennett - is a slow air called "AIR for RUSSELL".

Mike's a regular at our Tuesday easy session and his confident guitar & fiddle playing gives the beginners something to aim for!

Jake

[AnnC]

The tune 'Beannan Mor' by Jo Morrison that Stormforce10 mentions in his posting 'Are you a musician ?' is lovely

Luvvly.

Impressed too by the depth of echo -- is from up in the nave or from under the kilt?
