Tom Jones: Green, Green Grass Of Home Lyrics

Tom Jones sings Green Green Grass of Home with video compl. (does not include any Tom Jones performance clip)

Green, Green Grass Of Home Lyrics

“Green, Green Grass Of Home” was written by Putman Jr., Claude.

The old home town looks the same
As I step down from the train
And there to meet me is my Mama and Papa

Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they’ll all come to meet me
Arms reaching, smiling sweetly
It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home

The old house is still standing
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there’s that old oak tree that I used to play on

Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It’s good to touch the green, green grass of home

Then I awake and look around me
At four gray walls that surround me
And I realize, yes, I was only dreaming

For there’s a guard and there’s a sad old padre
Arm and arm we’ll walk at daybreak
Again I’ll touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they’ll all come to see me
In the shade of that old oak tree
As they lay me ‘neath the green, green grass of home

Shivaree – Goodnight Moon

“Goodnight Moon”, Shivaree

There’s a nail in the door
And there’s glass on the lawn
Tacks on the floor
And the TV is on
And I always sleep with my guns
When you’re gone

There’s a blade by the bed
And a phone in my hand
A dog on the floor
And some cash on the nightstand
When I’m all alone the dreaming stops
And I just can’t stand

What should I do I’m just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
And then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home

Well goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it’s not here soon
I might be done
No it won’t be too soon ’til I say
Goodnight moon

There’s a shark in the pool
And a witch in the tree
A crazy old neighbour and he’s been watching me
And there’s footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall
Something’s under the bed
Now it’s out in the hedge
There’s a big black crow sitting on my window ledge
And I hear something scratching through the wall

Oh what should I do I’m just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
I just hate to be all alone
Outside the door he followed me home
Now goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it’s not here soon
I might be done
No it won’t be too soon ’til I say
Goodnight moon

Well you’re up so high
How can you save me
When the dark comes here
Tonight to take me up
To my front walk
And into bed where it kisses my face
And eats my head

Oh what should I do I’m just a little baby
What if the lights go out and maybe
And then the wind just starts to moan
Outside the door he followed me home
Now goodnight moon
I want the sun
If it’s not here soon
I might be done
No it won’t be too soon ’til I say
Goodnight moon
No it won’t be too soon ’til I say
Goodnight moon

Studio Version

Lyrics:

When you’re weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all

I’m on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can’t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you’re down and out
When you’re on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you

I’ll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on Silver Girl,
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I’m sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

Simon & Garfunkel’s official audio for ‘The Sound of Silence’.

Lyrics:

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I’ve come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while Iwas sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

Georges Brassens: La Parapluie

Published on Feb 20, 2013

Je tenais a partager l’amour que j’ai pour cet artiste et cette chanson.

Paroles:

Il pleuvait fort sur la grand-route,
Elle cheminait sans parapluie,
J’en avait un, volé sans doute
Le matin même à un ami.
Courant alors à sa rescousse,
Je lui propose un peu d’abri
En séchant l’eau de sa frimousse,
D’un air très doux elle m’a dit oui.
Un petit coin de parapluie,
Contre un coin de Paradis.
Elle avait quelque chose d’un ange,
Un petit coin de Paradis,
Contre un coin de parapluie.
Je ne perdait pas au change,
Pardi!
Chemin faisant que se fut tendre
D’ouïr à deux le chant joli
Que l’eau du ciel faisait entendre
Sur le toit de mon parapluie.
J’aurais voulu comme au déluge,
voir sans arrêt tomber la pluie,
Pour la garder sous mon refuge,
Quarante jours, Quarante nuits.
Un petit coin de parapluie,
Contre un coin de Paradis.
Elle avait quelque chose d’un ange,
Un petit coin de Paradis,
Contre un coin de parapluie.
Je ne perdait pas au change,
Pardi!
Mais bêtement, même en orage,
Les routes vont vers des pays.
Bientôt le sien fit un barrage
A l’horizon de ma folie.
Il a fallut qu’elle me quitte,
Après m’avoir dit grand merci.
Et je l’ai vue toute petite
Partir gaiement vers mon oubli.
Un petit coin de parapluie,
Contre un coin de Paradis.
Elle avait quelque chose d’un ange,
Un petit coin de Paradis,
Contre un coin de parapluie.
Je ne perdait pas au change,
Pardi!

La Prière Paroles
Par Francis Jammes

Par le petit garçon qui meurt près de sa mère
Tandis que des enfants s’amusent au parterre
Et par l’oiseau blessé qui ne sait pas comment
Son aile tout à coup s’ensanglante et descend
Par la soif et la faim et le délire ardent
Je vous salue, Marie.

Par les gosses battus, par l’ivrogne qui rentre
Par l’âne qui reçoit des coups de pied au ventre
Et par l’humiliation de l’innocent châtié
Par la vierge vendue qu’on a déshabillée
Par le fils dont la mère a été insultée
Je vous salue, Marie.

Par la vieille qui, trébuchant sous trop de poids
S’écrie: ” Mon Dieu ! ” par le malheureux dont les bras
Ne purent s’appuyer sur une amour humaine
Comme la Croix du Fils sur Simon de Cyrène
Par le cheval tombé sous le chariot qu’il traîne
Je vous salue, Marie.

Par les quatre horizons qui crucifient le monde
Par tous ceux dont la chair se déchire ou succombe
Par ceux qui sont sans pieds, par ceux qui sont sans mains
Par le malade que l’on opère et qui geint
Et par le juste mis au rang des assassins
Je vous salue, Marie.

Par la mère apprenant que son fils est guéri
Par l’oiseau rappelant l’oiseau tombé du nid
Par l’herbe qui a soif et recueille l’ondée
Par le baiser perdu par l’amour redonné
Et par le mendiant retrouvant sa monnaie
Je vous salue, Marie.

Francis Jammes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

 

Francis Jammes.

Francis Jammes (French pronunciation: ​[ʒam];^[1] born 2 December 1868 in Tournay, Hautes-Pyrénées – died 1 November 1938 in Hasparren, Pyrénées-Atlantiques) was a French poet. He spent most of his life in his native region of Béarn and the Basque Country and his poems are known for their lyricism and for singing the pleasures of a humble country life (donkeys, maidens). His later poetry remained lyrical, but also included a strong religious element brought on by his “conversion” to Catholicism (more a return to the faith as he had always been a Catholic).

Biography

He was a mediocre student and failed his baccalauréat with a zero for French.^[1]

 

Francis Jammes by Jean Veber

The young author’s first poems began to be read in Parisian literary circles around 1895, and they were appreciated for their fresh tone which broke considerably from symbolist tendencies of the period. Jammes fraternised with other writers, including André Gide (with whom he travelled to Algeria in 1896), Stéphane Mallarmé and Henri de Régnier. His most famous collection of poems — De l’angélus de l’aube à l’angélus du soir (“From morning Angelus to evening Angelus”) — appeared in 1897 in the Mercure de France; Le Deuil des Primevères (“The Mourning of Primulas”) (1901) was also well received. While working up to that point as a notary’s clerk, the author was thenceforth able to live from his writings. In 1905 Francis Jammes, influenced by the poet Paul Claudel with whom he became close, “converted” to Catholicism (in actuality a return to being a practicing Catholic)^[1] and his poetry became more austere and occasionally more dogmatic.

In the eyes of Parisian literary circles, Francis Jammes was generally considered a solitary provincial who chose to live a life of retreat in his mountainous Pyrenees, and his poems never became entirely fashionable. The author sought nomination to the Académie française several times, but was never elected.

Jammes was the original author of Georges Brassens‘s song La Prière (“The Prayer”). The lyrics were taken from the poem Les Mystères douloureux (“The Agonies of Christ”) published in the collection L’Église habillée de feuilles (“The Church Clothed in Leaves”) (1906); Brassens changed some of the words to make the text more rhythmic.

Jammes was known to have an ardent passion for field sports, especially game hunting. He was known to have also been a believer in the conservation of endangered species.

Thirteen poems from his cycle Tristesses (“Sorrows”), were set to music by composer Lili Boulanger in 1914 under the title Clairières dans le ciel (“Clearings in the Sky”) a title Jammes had given to an assorted collection of poetry of which Tristesses was a part. The whole cycle was composed for soprano, flute and piano by Michel Bosc.

“The Partisan”, LEONARD COHEN LYRICS

When they poured across the border
I was cautioned to surrender,
this I could not do;
I took my gun and vanished.
I have changed my name so often,
I’ve lost my wife and children
but I have many friends,
and some of them are with me.

An old woman gave us shelter,
kept us hidden in the garret,
then the soldiers came;
she died without a whisper.

There were three of us this morning
I’m the only one this evening
but I must go on;
the frontiers are my prison.

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
through the graves the wind is blowing,
freedom soon will come;
then we’ll come from the shadows.

Les Allemands étaient chez moi (The Germans were at my home)
ils m’ont dit “Résigne-toi” (They said, “Surrender,”)
mais je n’ai pas pu (this I could not do)
j’ai repris mon arme (I took my weapon again)

J’ai changé cent fois de nom (I have changed names a hundred times)
j’ai perdu femme et enfants (I have lost wife and children)
mais j’ai tant d’amis (But I have so many friends)
j’ai la France entière (I have all of France)

Un vieil homme dans un grenier (An old man, in an attic)
pour la nuit nous a cachés (Hid us for the night)
les Allemands l’ont pris (The Germans captured him)
il est mort sans surprise (He died without surprise)

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing,
through the graves the wind is blowing,
freedom soon will come;
then we’ll come from the shadows.

Piano: Alicia de Larrocha

Las Doce danzas españolas para piano son una serie de doce piezas pianísticas compuestas por el compositor Enrique Granados. Se desconocen las fechas exactas de composición de cada una de ellas, si bien se ha dicho que fueron escritas entre 1892 y 1900, si bien el propio compositor declaró que la mayoría son de 1883 (cuando contaba 16 años). Cabe la posibilidad de que, por otro lado, escritas en fechas tempranas, fuesen perfeccionadas más tarde por Granados, lo cual haría incompatible dos de sus cualidades: por una parte, su sencillez de escritura, generalmente tripartita A-B-A, alejada de las complejidades de su obra insigne Goyescas, y ello llevaría a pensar que son obras de juventud; por otra parte, la maestría, la elegancia y el dominio rítmico indicarían que estamos ante un compositor maduro. Sea como fuere, estas partituras constituyen una de las máximas aportaciones al piano español del siglo XIX.

Las Doce danzas españolas

Danza española
nº1. Denominada Minueto, es una especie de bolero en sol mayor que Granados dedicó a Amparo Gal, su futura esposa. Se inicia con una sección allegro, que modula a modo menor en una sección central más reposada, poco andante y regresa a la parte inicial.
Danza española
nº2. Denominada Oriental, es una bella danza escrita en do menor. La primera sección es un andante en el que la mano izquierda dibuja un sentido acompañamiento, mientras que la derecha entona la melancólica melodía principal. La sección central, lento assai, emana un lirimo sentimental.
Danza española
nº3. Esta danza recibe dos denominaciones, Fandango o Danza gallega. La partitura señala enérgico, y está en la tonalidad de re mayor. Es interesante por su garbo, su sentido rítmico y algún asomo de lirismo que sirve de contraste.
Danza española
nº4. Denominada Villanesca, está inspirada por Torquato Tasso. Es de carácter cortesano y, al mismo tiempo, popular. Señalada allegro alla pastorale, su aire pastoril, suave y melodioso es su mayor encanto. La canción y el estribillo de la sección central derivan del tema principal.
Danza española
nº5. Denominada Andaluza o Playera, es un andantino, quasi allegretto. Es la más conocida de todas estas danzas. Tiene cierto clima flamenco, por ello recibe la primera apelación. La mano izquierda hace una especie de punteado que recuerda el rasgueo de la guitarra.
Danza española
nº6. Se la denomina Rondalla aragonesa, siendo pues, una verdadera jota. Alegretto, poco a poco scherzando es su Tempo, con una primera sección brillante y de difícil plasmación para el pianista. La parte central es a modo de copla y posteriormente vuelve a aparecer la primera sección. Es una de las más brillantes.
Danza española
nº7. Se la conoce con el nombre de Valenciana o Calesera. Es un allegro arioso en sol mayor. Se trata de una jota valenciana con curiosos acordes sincopados y ritmo sostenido, evocación estilizada del baile popular. Granados la dedicó al compositor César Cui.
Danza española
nº8. Es una sardana, que utilizada su autor en homenaje a su tierra. Esta sardana aparece a través de su peculiar ritmo, con una dotación melódica variada y original. Está en do menor y es un assai moderato.
Danza española
nº9. Se denomina comúnmente Mazurca o Romántica. Es un molto allegro brillante en si bemol menor. Algunos estudiosos han visto en ella un zortzico vasco, pero el ritmo es distinto. Otros han hallado una proximidad al chotis. Como otros también la han considerado una página simplemente romántica.
Danza española
nº10. Denominada Danza triste o Melancólica, es un allegretto en sol mayor. Es una de las más difundidas de la serie. Desde el punto de vista formal es un tanto deslavazada, pero ahí reside su encanto.
Danza española
nº11. Denominada Zambra, es una hermosa e inspirada página que muestra reminiscencias de la música de raíces moriscas junto al virtuosismo y el rigor habituales en Granados.
Danza española
nº12. Está denominada Arabesca. Es de inspiración morisca, como la anterior danza. Se trata también de la última danza de la colección. Pieza de gran delicadeza, la melodía de la sección central tiene una gracia muy especial.

Symphony no.3 in E flat major was premiered by Bedřich Smetana in 1874. It was a great moment for young Dvořák, because it was his first big score played in public. You can heard in this symphony typical dvořák’s melodies but also some inspiration from Liszt or Wagner (work with motives, harmonies).

CZ
Narozdíl od předchozích symfonií Dvořák ve své třetí pracoval s tématy úsporněji a více se zaměřoval na motivickou práci. Docílil tak formálně jasné symfonie, která slavila okamžitý úspěch. Pro Dvořáka to byla zvlášť důležitá událost, jelikož premiéry se zhostil sám Bedřich Smetana. Mladý Antonín tehdy nejspíš seděl u violového pultu.

Symphony No. 3 (Dvořák)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

 

The first page of the autograph score of Dvořák’s third symphony

The Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 10, B. 34 is a classical composition by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák.

It is not known precisely when the work was created (Dvořák scratched out the note on the title page with a knife so effectively that it is not possible to reconstruct the most important data).^[1] However, the symphony was composed probably in 1872, but possibly not scored until the following year.^[1] It is also not possible to find out with certainty the original text of the work. It was premiered by Prague Philharmonic Orchestra on March 29, 1874 at the fourth philharmonic concert in the hall on Žofín (Sophia Island), conducted by Bedřich Smetana. The composition was revised by Dvořák in 1887–1889, though not printed until 1912 (after the composer’s death) by N. Simrock in Berlin.

Form

The work, unlike his other symphonies, is in three movements:

1. Allegro moderato (E-flat major)
2. Adagio molto, tempo di marcia (C-sharp minor)
3. Allegro vivace (E-flat major)

There is no scherzo, the 3rd being the only three-movement symphony he wrote. The Adagio molto is his longest symphonic slow movement, and the Finale is the shortest finale. It was the first of his symphonies that Dvořák heard played.

The symphony bears the marks of Dvořák’s preceding strongly neo-romantic period, but also show the progress towards classically disciplined progression.^[2] A typical performance of the work has a duration of about thirty minutes.

Instrumentation

The work is scored for an orchestra of two flutes, piccolo, two oboes, English horn, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, tuba, timpani, triangle, harp, and strings.

Mozart – Symphony No. 40,

in G minor, K. 550

Am4d3usM0z4rt

Uploaded on Feb 20, 2012

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote his Symphony No. 40 in G minor, KV. 550, in 1788. It is sometimes referred to as the “Great G minor symphony,” to distinguish it from the “Little G minor symphony,” No. 25. The two are the only minor key symphonies Mozart wrote. The 40th Symphony was completed on 25 July 1788. The composition occupied an exceptionally productive period of just a few weeks in 1788, during which time he also completed the 39th and 41st symphonies (26 June and 10 August, respectively). The symphony is scored (in its revised version) for flute, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, and strings. Notably missing are trumpets and timpani.
The work is in four movements, in the usual arrangement (fast movement, slow movement, minuet, fast movement) for a classical-style symphony:
1. Molto allegro, 2/2
2. Andante, 6/8
3. Menuetto. Allegretto — Trio, 3/4
4. Finale. Allegro assai, 2/2.
Every movement but the third is in sonata form; the minuet and trio are in the usual ternary form. This work has elicited varying interpretations from critics. Robert Schumann regarded it as possessing “Grecian lightness and grace”. Donald Francis Tovey saw in it the character of opera buffa. Almost certainly, however, the most common perception today is that the symphony is tragic in tone and intensely emotional; for example, Charles Rosen (in The Classical Style) has called the symphony “a work of passion, violence, and grief.”
Although interpretations differ, the symphony is unquestionably one of Mozart’s most greatly admired works, and it is frequently performed and recorded. Ludwig van Beethoven knew the symphony well, copying out 29 measures from the score in one of his sketchbooks. It is thought that the opening theme of the last movement may have inspired Beethoven in composing the third movement of his Fifth Symphony.

In paradisum deducant te Angeli:
in tuo adventu suscipiant te Martyres,
et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem.

Chorus Angelorum te suscipiat,
et cum Lazaro quondam paupere,
et cum Lazaro quondam paupere
æternam habeas requiem,

First edition title page

Kinderszenen (German pronunciation: [ˈkɪndɐˌst͡seːnən]; original spelling Kinderscenen, “Scenes from Childhood”), Opus 15, by Robert Schumann, is a set of thirteen pieces of music for piano written in 1838. In this work, Schumann provides us with his adult reminiscences of childhood. Schumann had originally written 30 movements for this work, but chose 13 for the final version.^[1] Robert Polansky has discussed the unused movements.^[2]

Nr. 7, Träumerei, is one of Schumann’s best known pieces; it was the title of a 1944 German biographical film on Robert Schumann.^[3] Träumerei is also the opening and closing musical theme in the 1947 Hollywood film Song of Love, starring Katharine Hepburn as Clara Wieck Schumann.^[4]

Schumann had originally labeled this work Leichte Stücke (Easy Pieces). Likewise, the section titles were only added after the completion of the music, and Schumann described the titles as “nothing more than delicate hints for execution and interpretation”.^[5] Timothy Taylor has discussed Schumann’s choice of titles for this work in the context of the changing situation of music in 19th century culture and economics.^[6]

In 1974, Eric Sams noted that there was no known complete manuscript of Kinderszenen.^[7]

Marele secret din Bucegi: 300 de tabliţe ale dacilor, găsite de Carol I. Topite pentru bani, dosite în Tezaurul de la Moscova sau nedescifrate de nimeni? | adevarul.ro

Istoria celor 300 de tăbliţe din Sinaia, găsite de Regele Carol I la inceperea lucrărilor Castelului Peleş, la 1875, este plină de controverse. Istoricii şi arheologii se întrec în opinii care mai de care mai controversate despre tăbliţele din aur scrise de daci, care, ulterior, ar fi fost topite din ordinul Regelui. Copii ale acestor tăbliţe, făcute din plumb, se găsesc, însă, la Institutului de Arheologie ”Vasile Pârvan” din Bucureşti. Tăbliţele din plumb sunt scrise atât într-o limbă încă necunoscută, cât şi în alfabetul grecesc (cu câteva litere adiţionale), textele fiind însoţite, uneori, şi de imagini. Se presupune că ar fi o cronică a dacilor, pentru că în multe dintre ele apar nume de regi daci şi toponime dacice. Tăbliţele sunt considerate de specialişti falsuri moderne, însă nimeni nu le-a studiat atent până acum. Potrivit legendelor, tăbliţele ar fi fost descoperite în 1875, la începerea lucrărilor Castelului Peleş. Au fost în număr de aproximativ 300 de bucăţi, făcute din aur, care ar fi fost copiate în plumb la cererea Regelui Carol I, care şi-ar fi dat seama de importanţa istorică pe care ar fi putut să o aibă această descoperire, iar apoi topite şi vândute pentru construcţia impunătorului castel. “Privindu-le, însă, cu luare aminte, impresia este de autenticitate“ “Istoria acestor plăcuţe îşi are începutul în urmă cu un secol, la Mănăstirea Sinaia, unde le-a adus nu se ştie cine. Erau în număr de 100, unele dintre ale având 10 kilograme, dar la Institutul de Arheologie există acum doar 35 neinventariate şi mai sunt încă vreo 50 risipite prin alte locuri. Există părerea că ar fi fost de aur, iar cele care au rămas nu sunt altceva decât nişte replici în plumb. Privindu-le, însă, cu luare aminte, impresia este de autenticitate. Au fost numite pornindu-se de la propensiunea acestuia de a inventa un alfabet getic în polemosul său cu Grigore Tocilescu”, arată istoricul George Coandă, în lucrarea sa “Vechi coduri ale românilor”. Aurora Peţan, cercetător lingvistic, dar şi Dan Romalo, în cartea sa celebră , spune că tăbliţele nu sunt falsuri, considerând că ne aflăm în faţa unor mărturii despre o străveche scriere traco-getică. “Trimise în Marea Britanie pentru a se face analiza alaijului, plăcuţele, s-a dovedit, sunt autentice. Tăbliţele din Bucegi ne deconsipiră vechimea limbii geto-dacilor, care, revendicându-se, de bună seamă, din limba bază pelasgică este egală în drepturi cu latina. Aşadar, şi latina şi geto-daca au acelaşi izvor”, mai spune Coandă în lucrarea sa.

Misterioşii voievozi care au întemeiat Moldova, dar care nu apar în manualele de istorie. Cine sunt Costea, Ştefan şi Muşata, strămoşii lui Ştefan cel Mare | adevarul.ro

Întemeierea Moldovei este învăluită în mister. Cu atât mai mult întemeietorii ei, un şir de voievozi cu origini şi domnii incerte, care stârnesc şi astăzi controverse. Despre ei nu se studiază la şcoală şi, în general, nimeni nu pare să ştie cu siguranţă despre faptele şi existenţa lor. Cu toate acestea, ei sunt întemeietorii celei mai mari dinastii din istoria Moldovei. Ştiri pe aceeaşi temă Cât de bogaţi erau voievozii români: îi împrumutau cu aur pe regii Eur… Pe zidurile vechii biserici voievodale de la Rădăuţi, din sânul aşezării monahale de la Bogdana, se află un şir de voievozi ai Moldovei. Poartă coroană şi aduc închinăciune strămoşilor şi Divinităţii. Despre ei, istoricii spun că sunt întemeietorii statului medieval Moldova şi strămoşii direcţi ai ilustrului voievod Ştefan al III-lea cel Mare. Când vine vorba despre identificarea lor, adică cum se numesc, cât au trăit şi ce fapte au săvârşit, aproape se aşterne tăcerea. ”Tabloul votiv de la Rădăuţi ascunde un mister: personajele sale au rămas, până astăzi, neidentificate cu precizie”, spunea academicianul Ştefan Gorovei, un specialist în istoria medievală a Moldovei. Cu toate acestea, felurite ipoteze, dar şi studiul documentelor au scos la iveală supoziţii cu privire la începuturile Moldovei mediavale şi a misterioşilor ei voievozi. Costea voievod, întemeitor de dinastie La prima vedere şi, aşa cum a fost publicată în numeroase cărţi de specialitate, genealogia voievozilor moldoveni este simplă. Întemeitorul este Bogdan I (1363 – 1367), urmat de fratele său Laţcu( 1367 – 1373), de nepotul său Petru I (1375 – 1391) şi, mai apoi, de Roman I (1391 – 1394) şi de Ştefan I (1394 – 1397). Acestă genealogie ascunde, însă, numeroase mistere. În cei trei ani care au trecut de la moartea lui Laţcu până la înscăunarea lui Petru I, nu se cunoaşte cu precizie numele voievodului. Apare, în schimb, un misterios Costea Voievod, care ar fi întemeiat celebra dinastie a Muşatinilor, din care se va ridica Ştefan cel Mare.
