18 to 20

18:A song from the year that you were born

imma answer this one in private lol i overshare enough on here as it is

19:A song that makes you think about life

I actively try not to listen to songs that do that because they bum me out, I typically like my music Loud and Dumb™. Uhhhh Wouldn't It Be Nice by the Beach Boys? That one makes me fucking sad too actually I don't much like listening to it anymore.

20:A song that has many meanings to you

Auf dem Wasser zu singen (Schubert) has like four head AMVs for me. I think I wrote about one already.

Schubert - Auf Dem Wasser Zu Singen

[mikrokosmos]

Schubert - Auf dem Wasser zu singen, D.774

One genre of music that I haven’t gotten much into is that of lieder, art songs that are sometimes published in cycles but not always. I’m most familiar with Mahler’s works for soloist and orchestra, and a few other staples here and there...Schumann’s “Dichterliebe” and Schubert’s “Winterreise” are lovely sets. But I forget about the rich tradition of lieder in classical history, and when you bring up lieder you have to talk about Schubert. I think a lot of people would argue that Schubert was among the greatest song writers in history, and he was a master of writing music that reflected the texts. This favorite of mine, “To Sing on the Water” is a one-off lied based off of a poem by Friedrich Leopold zu Stolberg-Stolberg. The poem is from the perspective of a person on a boat reflecting on nature and on existentialism. Very German. Either way, it’s kind of sad to think of Schubert’s life and work, how most of his music was only played by a circle of his friends, and that so many gems were ignored as frivolous. What really keeps this song in my head is how the piano has the repetitive descending motif that is supposed to reflect the shimmering water.

In the midst of the shimmering, mirroring waves Glides like swans the rocking boat Ah, on softly shimmering waves of joy Glides the soul away like the boat. For from the heavens down on the waves Dances the evening glow round about the boat. Above the treetops of the western glade Beckons to us amiably the ruddy glow; Under the branches of the eastern glade Rustle the reeds in the ruddy glow. Joy of the heavens and peace of the glades Breathes the soul in the reddening glow. Ah, with dewy wings On the rocking waves, time escapes from me Tomorrow with shimmering wings Like yesterday and today may time again escape from me, Until I on towering, radiant wings Myself escape from changing time.

My king, I saw on your bio that you enjoy classical music. I am a classically trained professional singer, so this makes my heart both happy and curious. May I ask which artists or pieces you enjoy?

I suppose it depends on my mood - I have enjoyed many of your artists over the centuries.

If you are a singer, perhaps you are familiar with "Auf dem Wasser zu singen"? I have my reasons to despise Schubert, but there are still pieces of his I like, and I understand that many Midgardian singers are fond of his work.

Guess whose recital I’m going to today? 😊

Update: bummer! ☹️ — he’s had to cancel this engagement (and several weeks of performances, from the sound of it) after falling and sustaining a triple fracture and  dislocation of his foot in mid-performance. 😢 Get well soon!

At any rate, this song — “Auf dem Wasser zu singen,” composed in 1823 by Franz Schubert, poem by Friedrich Leopold zu Stolberg-Stolberg — was to have been on today’s program. In this performance, from the 2011 Verbier Festival, Terfel muffs the text in the second verse (at about 1:41), and the video doesn’t give us the third verse at all!

The pianist here is Llyr Williams; this afternoon, it would have been Natalia Katyukova.

Hello, asking for help. I have this plan of listening to a composer for a week in order to get familiar with his style and smth related. Schubert, Ravel, Rachmaminov and Beethoven are the ones for this month. May you suggest me pieces or collection of works, please? What other composers would you consider to add to my list? In both cases, from underrated gems to great masters. Thank you in advance :).

Ah sure thing, that sounds like a lot of fun! And those guys are all among my favorites so a great first month,

Schubert can be a bit ‘daunting’ at first because he wrote very long pieces of music, and the aesthetic is kind of an acquired taste, which sounds weird since he’s one of the ‘greats’ and is super popular, but for me at least it took a while to really get into his chamber works and solo piano sonatas where much of his greatness lies. Here are some works to get into him;

Auf dem wasser zu singen

Der Erlkonig

“Death and the Maiden” String Quartet

Piano Sonata in a minor, d. 845

Impromptus, op.90 and op. 142

Fantasy for violin and piano in C major

Wanderer Fantasy

String Quintet in C

Die Schone Mullerin

The ‘last three piano sonatas’

Piano Trio no. 2

Ravel will be a lot of fun, I say listen to like, everything he wrote since he has a relatively small oeuvre, and everything he wrote is great

Gaspard de la nuit

Miroirs

Pavane for a Dead Princess

Ma mere l’Oye [for orchestra or piano duet]

Rapsodie espagnole

Tzigane

String Quartet

Introduction and Allegro

Le tombeau de Couperin

La Valse

Piano Concerto in G

Piano Concerto for the left hand

Daphnis et Chloe

Rachmaninoff is awesome, can’t go wrong

Piano Concerto no. 2

Piano Concerto no. 3

Cello Sonata

Piano Sonata no. 2

Etudes Tableaux

Preludes

All Night Vigil

Symphony no. 2

And finally, Beethoven, whomstve is awesome of course;

Piano Sonatas 3, 8, 12 - 18, 21, 26, 28-32 [have fun lol]

String Quartets 7-16 

All 9 Symphonies

Piano Concertos 4 and 5

Violin Sonatas 5, 8, 9, and 10

Piano Trio “Archduke”

That’s more than enough listening for one month, hope you have fun :D

For the future? Hm...I’d say it’s fun to go through the music of Debussy, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Mozart, Liszt, and Berlioz
