a calling from beyond time
Aug. 10th, 2017 12:38 amI found sumac at a place in the North End!!!!!!!!!!1one1111 There was a little old lady with a tiger face tattoo and dragons and skulls on her arm.
Indigo the border collie went for a swim. Her owner has the patron saint of Brazil tattooed on her back because she's Brazilian. I assume she came back for the concert proper but the crowd was big enough to lose her, especially if she changed her clothes.
Darth Vader was back and elsewhere was a dog named Han and his owner wore a dog tag with the 501st Legion, which is a Stormtrooper division, and she said she would like to introduce Han to Princess Leia but maybe not to Darth Vader.
Gabriella wore a necklace of orbs of metal wire hanging from chain links and a bracelet made from nacre. She hasn't started Celestis yet and I told her to take all the time she needs. Saying what she means is not one of Ashley's strong points. Neither is empathy, honestly. Or at least cognitive empathy. She said that once she had a cat that got sprayed by a skunk.
A woman had a tattoo based on the painting Song of Joy and Sorrow by Viktor Vasnetsov, a Russian folk artist. A woman had blue hair and I'm not sure if she had a poem tattooed on her back.
Jean Sibelius - Finlandia
This was meant to be an anthem for the nascent Finland and begins with the weights of Czarist oppression and ends with the sounds of spring and liberation. Finlandia is a Latinization of the Swedish name for Suomi.
Amy Beach - Gaelic Symphony excerpt: Alla siciliana (second movement)
When Dvořák came to New York City, he pushed a distinct American sound to the music and
This turned out to be true: blues, jazz, rock and roll, funk, hip hop.
Amy Beach agreed with Dvorak but pulled from folk music of Britain and Ireland instead. Massachusetts was the first state to introduce a total ban on slavery, after all. In this case, she used an Irish love song, played on horn and oboe, then full orchestra, then English horn.
Later on, she did integrate spirituals, Inuit and other Native American music into her works.
She's one of the few non-living woman composers I can think of.
Kareem Roustom - Aleppo Songs
Christopher Wilkins mentioned that Boston has become more diverse.
And may it continue to do so. Hopefully the "immigration only for the super-wealthy and Olympic gold medalists act" dies.
They're based on Egyptian songs, one depicting a pastoral setting with a sunrise and the milking of a water buffalo and a flirtatious young man entranced by a dark-haired beauty, one depicting unrequited love and having to leave one's homeland because it's not even an authoritarian quasi-republic anymore, it's another Turkmenistan, and an Antiochian hymn with church bells fading into the background as the melody comes into the forefront.
It reminds me of The Pines of Rome in a way.
Last year he wrote some Armenian dances and it was suggested that he write something closer to home. He's not actually from Aleppo, he's from Damascus.
Arturo Márquez - Danzón no. 2
A series of solos for clarinet, oboe, piano, violin, trumpet, and piccolo, based on old Cuban dances.
Gonzalo Grau and Wild Painting - Views
Their self-identity was not just Syrian or Italian or Salvadoran but musician or dreamer or eccentric or revolutionary. They went with themes of pressure, passion, production, and activism.
It was a lushly orchestrated pop song.
It's not quite as cohesive as elements but still lovely.
Antonin Dvořák - Symphony no. 8
Dvorak's 8th symphony isn't as famous as his 9th. It still integrates a lot of Czech folk melodies.
It wasn't the Czech Republic or even Czechoslovakia when he was alive anyway; he was born in the Austrian Empire and died in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Antonin Dvořák - one of his Slavonic dances
This is noteworthy for being the first encore they played in a few years, even if the concert already went really late.
burning question: is Amazon a country?
