A REBLOG BY IMPORTANCE: AMERICANS LIVING LONGER BUT NOT BETTER

Americans Living Longer but Not Better

Between 1990 and 2010, overall US life expectancyrose by three years, from 75.2 to 78.2, yet the medical system’s ability to keep Americans healthy and enjoying a good quality of life has not kept pace. Despite the fact that the US spends more per capita on health care than any other country, it has lagged behind many other wealthy nations on numerous health measures. Lifestyle factors like poor diet and tobacco use likely play a role in this. More… Discuss

There appeared one day at Magdeburg a friend of Wagner’s, Guido Theodore Apel, poet, dramatist and amateur musician, and a young man of some means, with a play, “Christopher Columbus,” which he de-sired to have mounted in Wagner’s theater and for which Wagner agreed to write incidental music in the form of an overture, chorus and orchestral epilogue.

Amália Rodrigues – Madalena (1978)

Esta canção está muito esquecida pelo público, achei por bem voltar a lembrar o mesmo desta belíssima e poderosa interpretação de Amália Rodrigues. 

Madalena (Segundo Acto – Tema interpretado por Amália Rodrigues)

Letra de Frei Hermano da Câmara

Eu soube, num sonho, que aí com Simão
Jantáveis, ó Cristo, de faces radiosas
E trago-vos bálsamos, trago-vos de rosas
E trago mil beijos de límpida unção…
Deixai que estas lágrimas tão dolorosas
Vos verta nos pés que iluminam o chão,
Esses pés de marfim,
Que me enchem de santa e fremente paixão,
E lembram as bases do meigo jasmim!…
Quero o eterno amor, quero o eterno amor, um amor sem vergonha,
Sem trave e sem fim, sem trave e sem fim…
Jesus Nazareno, meu sol, meu Senhor, Jesus Nazareno, meu sol, meu Senhor…

Ó Cristo e deixai que esses pés vos alague,
De prantos assim!…
Talvez que este choro os meus crimes apague,
Talvez que esta dor meus remorsos esmague,
Talvez que esta angústia me faça um jardim!
Que eu chore, que eu gema,
Numa dor sem fim,
Aos pés de quem fez da virtude um poema, da virtude um poema!
Deixai que eu enxugue com estes cabelos
Os pés já banhados por dor tão suprema,
E bálsamos verta, talvez porque tema
Que os prantos vos firam os pés com seus gelos,
Com sua postema
E amarga paixão,
Ó Cristo, Ó vidente de meigos anelos,
Jesus Nazareno o perdão e perdão, Jesus Nazareno o perdão e perdão!

 

Amália Rodrigues e Teresa Tarouca – Avé Maria Fadista e Passeio à Mouraria ( I hope it reaches my friend in Carolina)

Uma das muitas coisas que gosto no Fado é a forma como sagrado e profano se entrecruzam. Como a barreira entre os dois praticamente não existe. Como o sagrado se torna profano e profano sagrado. Aqui ficam dois exemplos que acho maravilhosos.

One of the many things I like to Fado is how sacred and profane are intertwined. As the barrier between the two are virtually nonexistent. As the sacred becomes profane and the sacred profane. Here are two examples that I find wonderful.

Une des nombreuses choses que je tiens à le Fado est la manière dont sacré et le profane sont intimement liés. Comme la barrière entre les deux sont pratiquement inexistants. Comme le sacré devient profane et le profane sacré. Voici deux exemples que je trouve merveilleux.

Una de las muchas cosas que me gusta el fado es como sagrado y lo profano se entrelazan. A medida que la barrera entre los dos son prácticamente inexistentes. Como lo sagrado se convierte en lo profano y lo sagrado lo profano. He aquí dos ejemplos que me parece maravilloso.

Visul lui Tanase

Constantin Tanase – Cu ce? Pen’ce?

Guvernul cere biruri noi iar leafa ţi-o ia înapoi… Să dau eu neică bănişorii, să-şi facă casă perceptorii?… Cu banii mei strânşi cu dichis, s-o şteargă alţii la Paris?

Bucurestiul interbelic 2 : Mana birjar….

Mana birjar…si du-ma-n noapte…cat mai departe…oriunde-ai vrea…Imagini din Bucurestiul de altadata(micul Paris i se spunea pe-atunci)insotite de o frumoasa si romantica melodie a acelor vremuri.Era o lume mirifica,plina de farmec,fiecare straduta avea o poveste a ei,pacat ca nu m-am nascut in acele timpuri,inca mai exista respect,educatie,civilizatie !lumea-n care traim acum este una fara farmec,plina de rautate si invidie,o lume violenta si neprimitoare…ce pacat !

Old Russian Waltzes

Vienna Blood – Johann Strauss! (Viennese Spirit – Wiener Blut)

Wiener Blut (‘Viennese Blood’ or ‘Viennese Spirit’) op. 354 is a waltz by Johann Strauss II first performed by the composer on 22 April 1873. The new dedication waltz was to celebrate the wedding of the Emperor Franz Josef‘s daughter Archduchess Gisela Louise Maria and Prince Leopold of Bavaria. However, the waltz was also chiefly noted by Strauss’ biographers as the début of Strauss with the world-renowned Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra where for many years, the Philharmonic had dismissed any association with the ‘Waltz King’ as it had not wished to be associated with mere ‘light’ or ‘pops’ music.

Rossini – Overture from the “Barber of Seville”

Gioachino Antonio Rossini (1792 – 1868)

“The Barber of Seville”, or “The Useless Precaution” (“Il barbiere di Siviglia, ossia L’inutile precauzione”) is an opera buffa in two acts by Gioachino Rossini with a libretto (based on Beaumarchais‘s comedy Le Barbier de Séville) by Cesare Sterbini.

The overture, first written for “Aureliano in Palmira“, is a famous example of Rossini’s characteristic Italian style.

The première (under the title Almaviva, or the Useless Precaution) took place on February 20, 1816, at the Teatro Argentina, Rome.

グラスハープ

Bach’s most famous organ piece arranged for glass harp.

Free sheet music for this can be found here: http://www.classical-scores.com/free/…

A theory has recently (1981) been put forth that J. S. Bach did not write this piece. A brief summary of the supporting evidence for this theory can be read here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toccata_…

To listen to a good organ version watch Kurt Ison, Sydney Town Hall.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FXoyr…

Or Karl Richter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd_oIF…

Also arranged for symphonic orchestra for the famous Walt Disney cartoon “Fantasia” in 1940. Can be viewed at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1z12_…

A very interesting version with a bar-graph score (midi sequencer score) gives you a visual idea of the voicing of this piece. watch:
