Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo abbiamo continuato a parlare della DreamWorks e dei suoi film arrivati, arrivando a discutere di una delle opere più strane e assurde che abbiano mai fatto, Bee Movie. Barry è un’ape che vive in un’alveare e dovrà iniziare a lavorare, ma rimane deluso quando scopre che, appena sceglierà un lavoro, dovrà fare solo quello per tutta la…

Sunlit days at Hogwarts

Partly inspired by this moving choral piece, A Boy and a Girl, by Eric Whitacre.

Lyrics:

Stretched out on the grass,

A boy and a girl.

Savoring their oranges,

Giving their kisses like waves exchanging foam.

Stretched out on the beach,

A boy and a girl.

Savoring their limes,

Giving their kisses like clouds exchanging foam.

Stretched out underground,

A boy and a girl.

Saying nothing, never kissing,

Giving silence for silence.

Does Eric Whitacre still have the same chokehold on today’s high school choir that he did in the mid 2000s?

Child of Wonder

Child of wonder Child of sky Time to end your voyage Time to die. Silent slumber calls you Dark and deep Child of soft surrender Child of sleep.

—————

Child of sorrow Child of rain There is no tomorrow No more pain. Turn your silvered sail Toward the light Child of mourning Child of night.

—————

Child of iridescence Child of dream Stars and moons will guide you Down the stream. Stretched on ocean waves Of endless foam Welcome home my child Welcome home.

— Eric Whitacre, The Sacred Veil (choral masterpiece)

[monotonous-minutia]

one of my favorite spoopy pieces!! sounds just exactly like the title and it's so atmospheric I love it.

The rain… Eyes of shadow-water, eyes of well-water, eyes of dream-water.

Blue suns, green whirlwinds, birdbeaks of light pecking open pomegranate stars.

But tell me, burnt earth, is there no water? Only blood, only dust, Only naked footsteps on the thorns?

The rain awakens…

We must sleep with open eyes, we must dream with our hands, we must dream the dreams of a river seeking its course, of the sun dreaming its worlds, we must dream aloud, we must sing till the song puts forth roots, trunk, branches, birds, stars, we must find the lost word, and remember what the blood, the tides, the earth, and the body say, and return to the point of departure…

Octavio Paz, 1914-1998 (Adapted by Eric Whitacre, Translation by Lysander Kemp)

Octavio Paz, tr. by Lysander Kemp, from An Anthology of Spanish Poetry: From the Beginnings to the Present Day, Including Both Spain and Spanish America; "The broken waterjar"

Anyways if you’re a fan of anything Godzilla you should listen to Godzilla Eats Las Vegas! By Eric Whitacre.

Even better, search up a video of a band, any band, playing Godzilla Eats Las Vegas! and you’ll be treated to the sight of professional musicians, with a literal bachelor’s in music in most cases, scream in terror, dress up like Elvis, scream ‘Godzilla!’ at the top of their lungs, bark like dogs, and simulate an ill fated and poorly timed celebration of the ‘defeat’ of Godzilla.

Eric Whitacre wrote most of it in his first year of Juilliard, and it’s a tribute to him wanting to eat Las Vegas by the end of his seven year stay at the University of Las Vegas.

this is the song that will always get me in tears

I'm super in my feels lately, and I'm remembering my Virtual Choir days.

I really need to see if I still have the sheet music somewhere for the ones I was in. (I was in VC 4, 5, and 6 btw, and I am so grateful to have had those experiences.)
