#Lieutenant Kije Suite

[stevenvenn]

The Free Design - Kije's Ouija (from Stars/Time/Bubbles/Love) Crazy lyrics and even crazier when it's delivered in that breezy sunshine vocal harmonizing they were known for. Way out, man! Just don't kick that dog is all I'm saying. We should have believed! :)

Commute Radio Recap: Week Nine

Gagik Gasparyan's albums Armenia Duduk and Un viaje Espiritual: Loved these. Loved the sound, the melodies... Gotta remember to listen to more of his work. (And maybe branch out from there!)

Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kije, Stoneflower Suite, and Cinderella: I liked the first two (on the same album, so they blended together a little) the best. I don't quite remember what I thought of Cinderella, but I would relisten to the other two!

Heinavanker's Songs of Olden Times: Good! What I'm learning is that I like traditional music with energy to it, regardless of whether it's in any language I can understand (or even any language at all). :P Though of course half of these were hymns, which gave me a better chance of at least recognizing titles.

Podcasts: an episode each of Reply All, Out Alive, The Good List, Sacred and Profane Love, My Writing Sucks, Pints With Aquinas, and Born of Wonder.

And WITH THAT, I have officially tried every podcast recommended and listened through all of my music recs except for a few Masses and some Gilbert & Sullivan, both of which (for slightly different reasons :P) I tried and decided weren't really suited to the commute setting.

Stay tuned for how I've filled my last couple weeks of commutes.

tbh prokofiev went off with his lieutenant kije suite

   timestamp :     afternoon ,  —  of  december  1920 .      location :      nikolai’s  music  room ,  within  the  volkov  estate       tagging :       @bratvaborn​

the  piano  was  old ,  though  well  taken  care  of ,  and  the  keys  were  worn  slightly  in  a  way  that  nikolai  found  comforting ;  the  touch  of  a  younger  self  still  present ,  and  the  slight  oil  of  his  fingers  would  mean  that  his  current  self  would  leave  behind  a  mark  as  well .  modern  genres  were  exciting  to  the  ear ,  they  were  what  nikolai  loved ,  but  more  classical  pieces  were  comforting  in  the  same  way ;  a  familiarity  beneath  fingertips .  the  music  echoed  through  the  volkov  estate ,  nikolai  having  left  the  door  to  the  room  that  held  the  instrument  open .  he  wanted  light  to  come  in  through  the  windows  in  the  next  room ,  brightening  dark  wood .  if  he  could  drag  the  piano  out  into  the  garden  he  just  might ,  heart  like  a  sunbitten  moth  towards  warm  light ,  mind  that  just  wanted  to  escape  the  darkness  it  couldn’t  shake .

however ,  the  fact  that  he  was  playing  like  this ,  unprompted  and  simply  because  he  wanted  to ,  was  a  sign  that  the  darkness  had  receded  a   bit  today ,  that  world  felt  light  enough  for  kolka  to  play  a  song  fitting  for  the  season .  the  song  reaches  his  natural  conclusion ,  but  he’s  been  able  to  sense  that  someone  is  behind  him  for  a  few  moments .  he  lets  his  hands  rest ,  before  looking  back  over  his  shoulder  to  see  maksim .   ‘  i  can  play  quieter ,   ’   he  suggests  gently,   ‘   i  know  you  have  work .   ’

Russians love their children too.

Russians love their children too.

The song Russians has been going around in my head the last few weeks. Leaving aside the political message it is a beautiful song. The melody was inspired by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev’s Romance melody from the Lieutenant Kije Suite. In 2010, Sting explained that the song was inspired by watching Soviet TV via inventor Ken Schaffer’s satellite receiver at Columbia University: “I had a…

Lieutenant Kije Suite, Op. 60: IV. Troika by Paavo Järvi & Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra

[dulcian]

I saw The Shape of Water yesterday, which was really good, and I thought the fish monster man was kinda hot, but anyway, before the movie was the preview for the new Wes Anderson movie, and in the preview they used the “troika” music from the Lieutenant Kije Suite by Prokofiev, and I’ve had that stuck in my head ever since. 

The weird thing is that I’m bad at remembering melodies sometimes, so when I try to whistle it, the Prokofiev tune morphs into the Music for the Royal Fireworks by Händel. For some reason it’s just occurred to me that if I were to explain this to Beethoven he would laugh.

Prokofiev, Classic Film Scores

Prokofiev, Classic Film Scores

Reference FR-73SSACD

Strictly speaking this is a recording a a film score suite and a cantata derived from a film score but these are perhaps among the finest examples of film score music.  The earliest piece here is actually Prokofiev’s first commission, the 1934 Lieutenant Kije.  This film (released in the US under the title of “The Czar Sleeps”) is a satire/comedy film based on a novella.  The…

[awkwardpenguinproductions]

1) Lieutenant Kije Suite Symphonique, Op. 60: I. Birth— Sergei Prokofiev

2) Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner— Fall Out Boy

3) Laughter Lines— Bastille

4) A Much Needed Breath Before the Movement Entire— Jeremy Siepmann, Classics Explained: Stravinsky-The Rite of Spring

5) Lake Effect Kid—Fall Out Boy

6) The Sleeping Beauty, Ballet, Op. 66: Act III: The Wedding: 26. Pas de Caractere— Pyotr Illyich Tchaikovsky—Moscow RTV Symphony Orchestra & Vladimir Fedoseyev

7) But It’s Better If You Do— Panic! At the Disco

8) Hurricane-- Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton & Lin-Manuel Miranda

9) Dragon Racing— John Powell—How to Train Your Dragon 2 (Music from the Motion Picture)

10) Hava Nashira—Josh Nelson Project

A pretty good snapshot of my own preferred music-- I tend to save the classical stuff for studying or other instances of deep concentration, #4 reflects my love of “behind the scenes” stuff (the album it’s from is basically a bar-by-bar breakdown of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, which is my FAVORITE piece of classical music), #9 is from the massive playlist I made to listen to while working on my equally massive How to Train Your Dragon/Brave crossover fanfic, and #10 reflects my interest in Jewish music.
