Safe Passage at the Symphony

By Alan Swope While listening to “Night on Bald Mountain” performed by the San Francisco Symphony The hall a Roman galley pulled by rowing bows, guided by the conductor’s baton. Its hull a haven from a world of losses. Billows of sound surge toward, around the silver-haired listeners as they plunge through timeless waters. So many old, drawn here. Each note a familiar surprise. Thundering…

San Francisco Symphony: A Cultural Beacon Rising from the Ashes

In the aftermath of the devastating 1906 earthquake and fire that shook the foundations of San Francisco, the city found solace and inspiration in the form of the San Francisco Symphony. This renowned orchestra has since become a cultural cornerstone, enriching the city's vibrant cultural life.  From September through June, the San Francisco Symphony graces the stage with its seasonal program, offering music enthusiasts a chance to immerse themselves in a world of harmonious sounds. In July, the music doesn't stop as the orchestra extends its reach with summer concerts. The musical tapestry of San Francisco is further enriched through performances by the San Francisco Youth Symphony and the San Francisco Symphony Chorus, which add depth and variety to the orchestra's repertoire.

YOU SHOULD CLAP AFTER THE THIRD MOVEMENT OF TCHAIKOVSKY SYMPHONY NO. 6

THE THIRD MOVEMENT (out of four total) IS THE FINALE

It's celebratory and grand and there's no WAY he would've expected people to not applaud when they heard it for the first time. It's long enough and exciting enough that it's EASY to lose track of how many movements have gone by. ESPECIALLY when you think about how the first movement is essentially two shorter movements. Beethoven did a similar thing with HIS sixth symphony but he actually split the "first movement" into 2 separate movements, thereby making a 5-movement symphony which was and still is very unconventional (in Beethoven's and Tchaikovsky's era they were almost always 4, 1-200 years prior they were often 3). Even IF the audience keeps track of which movement the orchestra is playing, there's a very high chance they will be fooled by the false "second movement" and legitimately think the third movement, the finale, IS the fourth movement.

The orchestra finishes the third movement. It's triumphant, it's optimistic, it's celebratory! The audience applauds! They cheer!

The applause dies down as they realize that the conductor hasn't lowered her hands yet. There's more to come.

And that's when the orchestra begins the true fourth movement.

Gut-wrenching.

“Outlaw Torn”, live from S&M - Metallica with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra.

This is a musical entry I was originally going to save for Halloween 2023. But I’m a lazy bastard, and right now I’m riding high on all the hits I’m getting from nostalgia train content. For those who are just joining me on my blog, I’ve been digging up the fragrant bodies of dead bands for nearly two months now. And this kind of mass graverobbing wouldn’t be complete without a tune from the gothic girls of Switchblade Symphony. I have and can only recommend a handful of goth acts, and this is because I utterly hate nearly everything about goth rock. However, unlike the vast, vast majority of modern goth music, this group actually had some exceptional qualities that contributed to their cult-favorite status. A duo comprised of two goth girls from San Francisco, SS’s history began in the late-late 80’s and petered out in the late 90’s. They ended up putting out some songs and albums that were good, and some that were better than good, especially for their time… managing to stay afloat AND very successful in a veritable sea full of dark-rock + mascara-dripping + mopey-faced disposable plastic dogshit. These ladies managed to become more memorable than their 90’s goth contemporaries by boasting a sublimely poetic, operatic, harsh and lush sound that few can or have broached in the same exact way since this band’s demise. Their songs were drenched in thick orchestral dark wave and their live shows were intimate and heavy on audience participation. Sometimes, listening to their music is like watching a dreary and tonally unsettling stage performance unfurl in your mind. They were just plain fun to watch perform because of their (at the time) fresh dark sisters schtick which made them seem more like characters than actual people to me. Like many others, SS was the first goth band I ever managed to come across, cementing them as something of a standard bearer in my mind for what quality goth rock should sound like. Near as I can figure, when they broke up in the late 90’s they went on to try some solo projects and then went on about their lives as semi-normal people. This after having toured all over the country, had their songs appear in some American movies and shows, and been immortalized in the canon of symphonic rock cult legend history together. This is Soldiers from their 1997 album Bread and Jam for Frances. Smash play and enjoy dear listener, and thanks to the heroes of goth music like this that at least made the tunes quasi-listenable.

I really wish Susan Wallace and Tina Root would have stayed together, I can actually see their music evolving if they had. If you need me, I’ll be grave diggin’. I likes me some gravediggins’! More nostalgia train on the way, choo choo! Image source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJ5jBArAq4c
