Jupiter and Beyond The Infinite
Aug. 17th, 2017 08:51 pmCoriolan Overture - see earlier entries.
Sherbert… I mean Shubert's Unfinished Symphony. Unfinished. This shouldn't take long. Spoilers: it lasts around 25 minutes and consists of two movements. There's a third movement, a nearly finished scherzo, but it was never orchestrated.
Later on, he did a 9th symphony and started a 10th one leaving that one unfinished as well. No, there is no saxophone solo. The saxophone was invented in 1840, long after Sherbert's death.
There's a clip from The Simpsons about this and I have no idea what language it is but I'm pretty sure the woman who posted it is from the Czech Republic. I also have no idea what kind of wordplay can be done with the name Schubert in Czech.
Mozart's Symphony no. 31 - it was composed when he was 22 and looking for work in Paris, and called for the largest orchestra at the time, which would mean that it's fairly small by Romantic standards. It's three movements and about 20 minutes long, fairly standard for that time.
Strauss Jr. - On The Beautiful Blue Danube. There are two things that should never be done at concerts: multiple bands with female vocalists should not be allowed to play at the same time and the Blue Danube can't be performed without Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra. If you really want to get hardcore, include Ligeti's Requieml, Lux Aeterna, and Atmosphères and the Adagio from Gayaneh by Aram Khachaturian. It's apparently Austria's second national anthem and is probably most famous for its use in 2001: A Space Odyssey and any parodies, including Homer eating potato chips and crashing into an ant farm.
Accelerations - a delightful romp that get faster and faster.
Johannes Brahms - Hungarian Dance no. 5, because he also spent his professional life in Bécs. I knew this was going to happen because I arrived when they were rehearsing. While they did that, it seemed that someone played a few bars from Also Sprach Zarathustra. Alas, that is not so.
There's no real information in the booklet aside from the names of the musicians and the benefactors and no, I don't believe for one second that there is someone named Smoki Bacon out there. You're just setting them up for a lifetime as one of Carmen Sandiego's henchmen. They never do, though. Maybe by the time they decide upon the setlist, nobody has time to write lengthy writeups.
Gabriella wore a dress of black and gold, a shawl of black and gold, a necklace of silver and bronze-colored spheres, an enameled or lacquered pendant with a pink flower on it and a hanging chain of elongated ovals ending in a cluster of spines, a serpentine bracelet, that is to say, it was thin and coiled, not made of the stone serpentine, hoop earrings with clouds of pearls. Luxerion gothic, perhaps.
I got to the train station as the train was arriving and I ran into her when we were getting off. She did get to the Gardner Museum but she didn't get there until 8, as the violinist was finishing up, but at least she got to see the stilt dancers.
A woman had a tattoo of a red squirrel amongst flowers. A woman had neon pink hair and clothing with roses on it. A woman's tattoo was three acorns and a leaf. I saw lips at first and then I saw the number 860. A woman had the letters L O V E in the spaces between two crossed arrows on her leg. A guitarist played Sleep Walk at Downtown Crossing. There was a guitar student at the concert. Shannon has no obvious tattoos and reminds me of Brenna in a way. She called my drawing of her cute.
Apparently Danielle schlepped off to Syracuse, NY, so I don't have any updates on the Ashley situation. I think it's pointless to ask her myself because she won't be honest. She didn't enjoy any steamed hams while she was there, that's more of an Albany thing.
burning question: Who would win in a fatal three way battle: Truckasaurus, Vanaraptor or Busodactyl?
I don't think I actually asked this. Google tells me no but I'm not sure how reliable Google Search wants to be.
