Mozart – Missa Brevis in C, K. 317 [complete] (Coronation Mass) (The extraordinary musical dialogue only Mozart could compose!)

Uploaded on Dec 29, 2011

The Krönungsmesse (German for Coronation Mass) (Mass No. 15 in C major, KV 317; sometimes Mass No. 16), composed in 1779, is one of the most popular of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart‘s 17 extant settings of the Ordinary of the Mass. This setting, like the majority of Mozart’s mass settings, is a Missa brevis, or short mass (as opposed to the more formal Solemn Masses or High Masses, known as Missae solemnes). This Mass was completed on March 23, 1779 in Salzburg. Mozart had just returned to the city after 18 months of fruitless job hunting in Paris and Mannheim, and his father Leopold promptly got him a job as court organist and composer at Salzburg Cathedral. The mass was almost certainly premiered there on Easter Sunday April 4, 1779. Contrary to common misunderstandings, it was not intended for the church of Maria Plain near Salzburg, and was probably not performed at the Imperial coronations in Prague in 1790 and 1792. It appears to have acquired the nickname “Coronation” at the Imperial court in Vienna in the early nineteenth century. In the following century, Joseph Haydn alluded to this Mass in his Harmoniemesse. Structure:
1. Kyrie
2. Gloria
3. Credo
4. Sanctus
5. Benedictus
6. Agnus Dei
The work is scored for SATB soloists and chorus, 2 violins, “Bassi”, 2 oboes, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, 3 trombones (which reinforce the alto, tenor and bass) and organ. Notable is the lack of violas, typical of music written for Salzburg, and the vague name “basses” for the stave shared by organ, bassoon (specified only in the Credo), Cello and Double bass. Among the original parts is one for “Violone”, a slippery term sometimes implying a 16′ bass but also used for the 8′ Bass violin.
The Kyrie, Gloria and Credo all begin emphatically in C-major with an almost military rhythm. The soloists contrast with the larger forces of the choir, often as a quartet. Of note in this regard are the central Adagio section of the Credo at Et incarnatus est, and the surprise of the Benedictus after the chorus has already declaimed the Hosanna. These musical breaks mimic what is occurring in the Mass at these points, and serve to link the music to the proper forum for which it was intended: The Traditional Roman Catholic Mass. Rubrics require the congregation to change from a standing position to a kneeling position at the ‘incarnatus’ out of respect for the Incarnation of Christ: hence the musical break. Similarly, only the first verse of the ‘Sanctus’ is sung before the Consecration, the ‘Benedictus’ verse is required to be sung afterward, according to the rubrics of the Mass. This required rubrical division often results in the verses appearing in music as two separate movements, although they are thematically joined. In the Credo, Mozart introduces the trombones for the Crucifixus and using a chromatic fourth in the bass. The soprano solo of the Agnus Dei exhibits melodic similarities to and may foreshadow “Dove sono”, the Countess’ main aria from Le nozze di Figaro.

EL CONDOR PASA – SIMON & GARFUNKEL

Published on May 18, 2012

I’d rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes I would.
If I could,
I surely would.
I’d rather be a hammer than a nail.
Yes I would.
If I only could,
I surely would.
Away, I’d rather sail away
Like a swan that’s here and gone
A man get tied up to the ground
He gives the earth
It’s saddest sound,
It’s saddest sound.
I’d rather be a forest than a street.
Yes I would.
If I could,
I surely would.
I’d rather feel the earth beneath my feet,
Yes I would.
If I only could,
I surely would….

El Condor Pasa (Daniel Alomia Robles – Peru) – live – CantoAndino

*NEW* CD: http://www.tunecore.com/music/cantandino

Composicion de Daniel Alomia Robles, Peruano. Quizas la cancion que mas representa la musica Andina en el mundo. Obviamente, NO es un tema de Simon & Garfunkel, quienes utilizaron esta melodia en uno de sus albumes en los sesentas y este se convirtio en un “hit” mundial. Presentamos aca una version al vivo citando un arreglo del grupo Boliviano “Los de Canata”, de un LP que publicaron a mediados de los setenta y que marco un hito en definir estilos nuevos en la musica Andina.

*NEW* CD: http://www.tunecore.com/music/cantandino

Composed by D. Robles, Peru. Perhaps THE most representative song from the Andes folklore. Obviously, NOT composed by Simon & Garfunkel, but the arrangement they made in the 60ies using this melody boosted them and the song to a world hit. This version quotes elements of an arrangement made in the 70ies by LOS DE CANATA (Bolivia).

12 Girls Band – 女子十二楽坊 – El cóndor pasa (Original Music Video)

Original video clip of this beloved peruvian melody!
The version of the 12 Girls Band, unlike Simon & Gurfunkel’s, rescues the original score with two traditional and clearly defined parts adding the elegance and nuances of China traditional music. This is the characteristic of the 12GB’s music.
“El condor pasa” became very popular in Asia and around the world because of Paul Simon’s version called “If I Could “, the song he composed in 1970. In fact, many East and famous singers like Teresa Teng perfomed versions of “Condor Pasa” in Chinese.
As we know, the original piece (a zarzuela), belongs to the Peruvian composer Daniel Alomía Robles. It was composed in 1913 and registered in 1933. Also from 2004 is considered as “Cultural Heritage of Peru” by a resolution of the INC and the Peruvian government. In the same resolution was declared “cultural interest” all the rich and voluminous work Alomía Robles includes more than 900 pieces of music.

Using automated software tools to examine queries by six million Internet users taken from Web search logs in 2010, the researchers looked for searches relating to an antidepressant, paroxetine, and a cholesterol lowering drug, pravastatin. They were able to find evidence that the combination of the two drugs caused high blood sugar.

Travel Relapse

Sometimes begin out in the world allows us to see and experience things we would have never thought possible. Many time though it gives us a completely different point of view, one that we would have never had unless we jumped from our comfort zones and headed out into the unknown world. Sometimes this can be a wonderful thing, other times it can be a bit of a pain.

I currently reside in Rome, the center of the Catholic world and a wonderful place to see and experience all that is going on around me. I have so many photos and videos that I will be sharing in the coming days, but unfortunately right now I am stuck in an internet cafe using a computer that for lack of a better word, sucks…

Smoke house blues-Wynton Marsalis a la Morton1994

Smokehouse Blues Marsalis 1994 

Jelly Roll Morton recorded the Smoke House Blues in 1926. It has always been a top classic piece of jazz. I hardly ever heard a band playing this tune or even trying. 
But here is this trumpet master Wynton Marsalis playing it 1994 with a select number of New Orleans musicians. 
On clarinet is Dr.Michael White and the pianist is Steve Pistorius. 
It is amazing how the band conquered the feeling of the original recording and still be able to give it its own spark. The musicians , even in their solos stay close to the original. plays All together very impressive and cleverly done.
