Romeo and Juliet is an orchestral work composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. It is styled an Overture-Fantasy, and is based on Shakespeare’s play of the same name. Unlike Tchaikovsky’s other major compositions, Romeo and Juliet does not have an opus number.
In 1880, ten years after his first reworking of the piece, Tchaikovsky rewrote the ending and gave the piece the sub-title “Overture-Fantasia”. It was completed by September 10, 1880, but did not receive its premiere until May 1, 1886, in Tbilisi, Georgia (then part of the Russian Empire), under Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov.

Swedish-born Jenny Lind (1820-1887), the greatest operatic and concert soprano of her age, was already the toast of Europe when she was approached by American showman P.T. Barnum in 1847. Even before hearing her voice, Barnum signed the ‘Swedish Nightingale‘ for 150 American concerts at the enormous sum of $150,000. With the help of Barnum’s matchless marketing, Jenny Lind mania swept America, with crowds of the rich and famous and ordinary music lovers alike falling at her feet. This 1850 daguerreotype of Miss Lind was taken by Matthew Brady.

From 1910 to 1970, more than 6 million southern blacks left their rural homes in search of an urban ‘Promised Land’ in the north. The largest migration in American history was caused by the ‘push’ of hardships prevalent in the South–such as segregation, lynching and the economic hopelessness of the sharecropping system–and the ‘pull’ of opportunity in the North. Plentiful industrial jobs, although sometimes menial, often offered wages three times higher than did jobs in the South. Glowing reports from friends and family already in the North inspired increased migration. While racism, housing shortages and crime often greeted the new arrivals, they also found organizations such as the National Urban League and National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) dedicated to improving the lives of black Americans.

Abide With Me is a well-known Christian hymn composed by Henry Francis Lyte in 1847, though the lyrics are usually sung to William Henry Monk‘s melody Eventide rather than Lyte’s original music. It is popular across many denominations, and was said to be a favourite of King George V and Mahatma Gandhi. It was sung at both the wedding of King George VI and that of his daughter, who would go on to become Queen Elizabeth II. Since 1927 it has been sung before the kick-off at the FA Cup Final and Challenge Cup Final. It is also often sung at Christian funerals.
Lyte wrote the words to his poem while he lay dying from tuberculosis, and lived only three weeks after its completion.

Leonard Bernstein (1918 – 1990) was probably best known to the public as the longtime music director of the New York Philharmonic, for conducting concerts by many of the world’s leading orchestras, and for writing the music for West Side Story, a musical based on William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
************************************************************************** From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
English: Leonard Bernstein (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
The story is set in the Upper West Side neighborhood in New York City in the mid-1950s, an ethnic, blue-collar neighborhood. (In the early 1960s much of the neighborhood would be cleared in an urban renewal project for the Lincoln Center, changing the neighborhood’s character.)[2][3] The musical explores the rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks, two teenage street gangs of different ethnic backgrounds. The members of the Sharks, from Puerto Rico, are taunted by the Jets, a caucasian gang.[4] The young protagonist, Tony, a former member of the Jets and best friend of the gang leader, Riff, falls in love with Maria, the sister of Bernardo, the leader of the Sharks. The dark theme, sophisticated music, extended dance scenes, and focus on social problems marked a turning point in American musical theatre. Bernstein’s score for the musical includes “Something’s Coming”, “Maria“, “America“, “Somewhere“, “Tonight“, “Jet Song”, “I Feel Pretty“, “A Boy Like That“, “One Hand, One Heart”, “Gee, Officer Krupke”, and “Cool“.

Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon Show me slowly what I only know the limits of Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long We’re both of us beneath our love, we’re both of us above Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the children who are asking to be born Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin Dance me through the panic till I’m gathered safely in Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love Dance me to the end of love
Symphony No. 35 in D major, K. 385, was composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1782 and is also called the Haffner Symphony. It was commissioned by the Haffners, a prominent Salzburg family, for the occasion of Sigmund Haffner’s ennoblement. The Haffner Symphony should not be confused with the eight-movement Haffner Serenade, another piece Mozart wrote on commission from the same family in 1776. The symphony is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in A, 2 bassoons, 2 horns in D and G, 2 trumpets in D, timpani, and strings. Mozart’s choice of key for the Haffner Symphony is an aspect that catches one’s attention. According to Cuyler, “the key of D major, which was so felicitous for the winds, served Mozart more often than any other key, even C, for his symphonies,” including the Paris (No. 31) and Prague (No. 38) symphonies. The key is also indicative of the work’s serenade origins as all of Mozart’s orchestral serenades are scored in D major. Hence, it is not surprising that the Haffner Symphony was written in the key of D major. The symphony is in four movements: 1. Allegro con spirito, 4/4 2. Andante, 2/4 3. Menuetto, 3/4 4. Presto, 2/2. The Haffner Symphony usually runs somewhere around 20 minutes in length. A recording by George Szell with the Cleveland Orchestra (Sony SBK 46333) runs 19.11; one by Iona Brown with the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields (Haenssler CD 94.003) is 21.09; and one by Sir Neville Marriner also with the same ensemble (Philips 420 486-2) runs 21.34. —————————————-————————————- FREE .mp3 and .wav files of all Mozart’s music at: http://www.mozart-archiv.de/ FREE sheet music scores of any Mozart piece at: http://dme.mozarteum.at/DME/nma/start… ALSO check out these cool sites: http://musopen.org/ and http://imslp.org/wiki/

În această zi se prăznuiește botezarea Domnului Iisus Hristos de către Sfântul Ioan Botezătorul în râul Iordan și începutul propovăduirii timpurii a lui Hristos. Praznicul Epifaniei marchează sfârșitul sărbătoririi Crăciunului, care începe de la 25 decembrie și se încheie pe 6 ianuarie. În cadrul slujbei acestei sărbători, în această zi se face slujba de sfințire a Aghiasmei Mari, care este folosită de preoți pentru a binecuvânta casele credincioșilor.
Sărbătoarea se numește a Teofaniei deoarece la botezul lui Hristos Sfânta Treime a apărut lumii pentru prima data – glasul Tatălui se face auzit din ceruri, Fiul este întrupat și stă în râul Iordan, iar Sfântul Duh se pogoară asupra Lui în chip de porumbel.
Epifania
Această sărbătoare mai este uneori numită și Epifania. Unii consideră că acest nume ar fi preluat din vocabularul catolic, făcând referire mai degrabă la sărbătoarea catolică din aceeași zi care comemorează venirea magilor la Pruncul Iisus. Totuși, termenul de „Epifanie” apare și în cadrul slujbelor ortodoxe.
Inițial exista un singur praznic creștin la care se sărbătorea arătarea lui Dumnezeu lumii, în forma umană a lui Iisus din Nazaret. Acesta includea sărbătoarea Nașterii Domnului, Închinarea Magilor și toate evenimentele din copilăria lui Hristos, cum ar fi Tăierea împrejur a Domnului și Întâmpinarea Domnului, împreună cu botezul Lui în Iordan de către Ioan. Fără îndoială că această sărbătoare, la fel ca și Paștile și Cincizecimea, a fost înțeleasă ca o împlinire a unei sărbători evreiești precedente, în acest caz Sărbătoarea Luminilor.
Sărbătorirea
Slujba Botezului Domnului este organizată în același fel cu aceea a Nașterii. Istoric vorbind, slujba Crăciunului a fost stabilită mai târziu.
Liturghia începe cu psalmi de slavă și laudă, în locul celor trei Antifoane obișnuite. Versetul botezului de la Galateni 3,27 înlocuiește din nou Trisaghionul.
Câți în Hristos v-ați botezat,
în Hristos v-ați și-mbrăcat
Aliluia!
Evanghelia citită la toate aceste slujbe vorbește despre Botezul Domnului în râul Iordan. Apostolul care se citește la Sfânta Liturghie vorbește despre consecințele arătării Domnului ca Epifanie.
Deoarece principalul eveniment al sărbătorii este sfințirea mare a apei, ea urmează Sfintei Liturghii a ajunului și Sfintei Liturghii din ziua praznicului. Totuși, în cele mai multe parohii, aceasta se face doar atunci când sunt prezenți cea mai mare parte a credincioșilor. Sfințirea atestă faptul că omenirea și întreaga Creație au fost făcute pentru a se umple de prezența sfințitoare a lui Dumnezeu.
Ajunul praznicului este zi de ajunare, chiar post negru, în orice zi ar cădea.
Tradiții de Bobotează
Conform unei vechi tradiții, în ziua Bobotezei, după Sfânta Liturghie, episcopul sau preotul (în sate) face slujba de sfințire a apei pe malul celui mai mare râu sau fluviu din acel loc. După sfințirea apei, episcopul sau preotul aruncă în apa râului o cruce mare (în secolele trecute aceasta era uneori dintr-un metal prețios). Un număr de bărbați mai destoinici pornesc apoi să recupereze crucea, căutând-o în apele înghețate. Primul care o găsește primește binecuvântarea preotului sau a episcopului. În vechime, cel care găsea primul crucea și o aducea la mal primea și daruri de la domnitorul țării și era ținut la mare cinste de către ceilalți. Tradiția s-a păstrat până în ziua de astăzi.

Appalachian Spring is a composition by Aaron Copland that premiered in 1944 and has achieved widespread and enduring popularity as an orchestral suite. The ballet, scored for a thirteen-member chamber orchestra, was created upon commission of choreographer and dancer Martha Graham with funds from the Coolidge Foundation; it premiered on Monday, October 30, 1944, at the Library of Congress in Washington DC, with Martha Graham (1894–1991) dancing the lead role. The set was designed by the Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988). Copland was awarded the 1945 Pulitzer Prize for Music for his achievement.[1][2]
Composition process
In 1945, Copland was commissioned by conductor Artur Rodzinski to rearrange the ballet work as an orchestral suite, preserving most of the music. The ballet and orchestral work were well received. The latter was credited as more important in popularizing the composer. In 1972, Boosey & Hawkes published a version of the suite fusing the structure of the orchestral suite with the scoring of the original ballet: double string quartet, bass, flute, clarinet, bassoon, and piano. All three versions continue to be performed in full. In 1991, Hugh Wolff recorded the complete ballet as first arranged with the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra for Teldec. [3]
Originally, Copland did not have a title for the work, referring to it simply as Ballet for Martha. Shortly before the premiere, Graham suggested Appalachian Spring, a phrase from a Hart Crane poem, “The Dance” from a collection of poems in his book “The Bridge.”
“O Appalachian Spring! I gained the ledge; Steep, inaccessible smile that eastward bends And northward reaches in that violet wedge Of Adirondacks!”
Because he composed the music without the benefit of knowing what the title was going to be, Copland was often amused when people told him he captured the beauty of the Appalachians in his music, a fact he alluded to in an interview with NPR’s Fred Calland.[4] Little known is that the word “spring” denotes a source of water in the Crane poem; however the poem is a journey to meet springtime.
Martha Graham was the lead ballet composer in Appalachian Spring.

The Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 74, Pathétique is Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky‘s final completed symphony, written between February and the end of August 1893. The composer led the first performance in Saint Petersburg on 28 October [O.S. 16 October] of that year, nine days before his death. The second performance, conducted by Eduard Nápravník, took place 21 days later, at a memorial concert on 6/18 November.[1][2] It included some minor corrections that Tchaikovsky had made after the premiere, and was thus the first performance of the work in the exact form in which it is known today. The first performance in Moscow was on 16 December [O.S. 4 December], conducted by Vasily Safonov.[3] It was the last of Tchaikovsky’s compositions premiered in his lifetime; his last composition of all, the single-movement 3rd Piano Concerto, Op. 75, which was completed in October 1893, a short time before his death, received a posthumous premiere.
Background
After completing his 5th Symphony in 1888, Tchaikovsky did not start thinking about his next symphony until April 1891, on his way to the United States. The first drafts of a new symphony were started in the spring of 1891.[4] However, some or all of the symphony was not pleasing to Tchaikovsky, who tore up the manuscript “in one of his frequent moods of depression and doubt over his alleged inability to create.”[4] In 1892, Tchaikovsky wrote the following to his nephew Vladimir “Bob” Davydov:
The symphony is only a work written by dint of sheer will on the part of the composer; it contains nothing that is interesting or sympathetic. It should be cast aside and forgotten. This determination on my part is admirable and irrevocable.[5]
This work was the Symphony in E-flat, the first movement of which Tchaikovsky later converted into the one-movement 3rd Piano Concerto (his final composition), and the latter two movements of which Sergei Taneyev reworked after Tchaikovsky’s death as the Andante and Finale.
In 1893, Tchaikovsky mentions an entirely new symphonic work in a letter to his brother:
I am now wholly occupied with the new work … and it is hard for me to tear myself away from it. I believe it comes into being as the best of my works. I must finish it as soon as possible, for I have to wind up a lot of affairs and I must soon go to London. I told you that I had completed a Symphony which suddenly displeased me, and I tore it up. Now I have composed a new symphony which I certainly shall not tear up.[5]
The symphony was written in a small house in Klin and completed by August 1893. Tchaikovsky left Klin on 19 October for the first performance in St. Petersburg, arriving “in excellent spirits.”[6] However, the composer began to feel apprehension over his symphony, when, at rehearsals, the orchestra players did not exhibit any great admiration for the new work.[6] Nevertheless, the premiere was met with great appreciation. Tchaikovsky’s brother Modest wrote, “There was applause and the composer was recalled, but with more enthusiasm than on previous occasions. There was not the mighty, overpowering impression made by the work when it was conducted by Eduard Nápravník, on November 18, 1893, and later, wherever it was played.”[7]

The Symphony No. 2 in B-flat major, D. 125,[1] is a symphony by Franz Schubert composed between 1814 and 1815.
The second movement is a theme with five variations in E-flat major, Schubert’s only set of symphonic variations. Although there is some variation in the melody, the primary focus of the variations are on instrumentation and tone color. The first variation features violins and winds. The second variation passes the theme between the low strings and the woodwinds. The third variation is again violins and winds. The fourth variation is in C minor and features some acceleration with the use triplet-sixteenth notes. The fifth variation maintains the triplet-sixteenths, but they move into the background with the melody returning close to its original form as a kind of recapitulation. A coda concludes the movement.[2]
The minuet is in C minor and mainly scored for the tutti and fortissimo. The contrasting Trio in E flat major is more thinly scored winds, violins and pizzicato bass. The melody of the trio is actually a variation of the theme used in the second movement forming a melodic and harmonic (E-flat/C minor) link is made between the inner two movements.[2]
