[opera-ghosts]

February 9. 1912 at The Metropolitan Opera a really rare Opera was performed from Ludwig Thuille (1861-1907) “Lobetanz”. Only seven performances in the history of the MET.

The composer was a close friend from Richard Strauss. Here a original program from this time. Click on the pic for full view.

Art/Moodboard/OC Visuals

@anyablackwood tagged me in a handful of moodboard and OC visual related things during my hibernation and I figured now was a good as time as any to update you all on my art and aesthetics for my fantasy world, Yssaia!

So, here's some images I'm referencing off pinterest that I now have sitting in a private discord (The red is the Demonlands and the blue is for Nouveau Thuille):

And now, here's my latest art of the Demonlands Docks -- which is also my FIRST EVER map for RPGmaker:

And some older environment illustrations of Thuille (in game production, I want to do Thuille last because that way, I'll be able to put all my acquired skill into it and it'll be the best!):

And lastly, some new character sprites! This is Riavh, the King Arthur stand-in of my world! You know how King Arthur is supposed to come back? Well, the South invented sapient magic nukes, so he's back! 😗

Gently tagging @winterandwords @zebee-nyx @theprissythumbelina @maiemorrae @reaperofcrows @moondust-bard and @moonfeatherblue to share a couple of neat visuals from your worlds and works! Could be moodboards, but could be art, could be video game photography *nudge nudge* ;)

At first, not really having a musical background, (although, my grandfather was a professional pianist), I only really liked music by Chopin and Bach, and definitely no vocal pieces. These two composers I got to know of almost by accident. But I thought to myself, why on earth am I only listening to works by these two? The others can’t all be garbage. So I got rid of my irrational musical prejudice and ended up loving loads of different stuff. Yay ! Anyway, it was very difficult to select five composers to highlight from such a huge array, and there are, if you will, gradations of well knownedness. So I have limited myself to choices from the romantic time period, probably my favourite era. 1. Doreen Carwithen (1922-2003) Doreen was born in Buckinghamshire, England. She had her first music lessons from her music teacher mother at the age of four. In 1947 the rank Organization started an apprenticeship scheme for composers to specialise infilm music. Doreen became the first to be selected from the Royal Academy of Music. She wrote, among other pieces, overtures, a concerto for strings and piano, chamber music and over thirty scores for films. She was married in 1975 to her composer friend William Alwyn and since she didn’t like the name Doreen, she used her middle name Mary. She founded the William Alwyn Foundation and Archive. Her last name Carwithen comes from an old Devonian family name dating back to the 1400s. I’ve selected the 1st movement of the passionate Violin Sonata, one of only 3 chamber works, (unfortunately for everyone), that she wrote. Some other works for violin and piano: Violin Sonata No. 2 in e minor, Op. 30 by Ludwig Thuille Violin Sonata No. 2 in D major, Op. 20, Poème by Georgy Catoire Violin Sonata in c-sharp minor, Op. 21 by Ernő Dohnányi David Pulsford, @lesser-known-composers

Before I hop on this microtrend and tell you about my OCs signature dishes, I wanna do a quick analysis: What DOES a good signature dish do for a character? (Particularly, a Genshin character but any character will do!)

WHAT DOES A GOOD FICTIONAL SIGNATURE DISH DO?

1) Tells you about the character individually -- The dish should represent SOMETHING about their personality and tastes. Like how Sota's dish is for work-outs -- so they're probably athletic or know athletic people -- OR how Azael's is a dessert -- telling you they probably have a sweet tooth and probably money for sugar!

2) Aesthetically fit the character -- This is more for if you're drawing it, but all the Genshin dishes do this. (Alhaitham has an old rune written on it because he's a linguist. Lisa's is purple like her. Raiden doesn't have one because she doesn't exist in the physical world lol.)

3) Tell you something about the world -- What ingredients do they use? How do they combine or prepare them? Why do they do it that way? I think DragonPrinceDawn above did a particularly good job with that, especially with Lyerei's dish!

I mean, I think DragonPrinceDawn did a great job with all their dishes honestly! I'd eat all of them.

I haven't thought a lot about signature dishes for ALL my characters... but I do have one for Arlasaire. If you don't know, Arlasaire is the Burned Maiden of Nouveau Thuille -- a hitman for a noble, mafia-like house with a reputation for setting herself on fire and them everyone else. She's deeply traumatized and cynical but also, she's very loyal to the tiny handful of people she trusts. EXCEPT oops that's also the trauma lol

So, what does she cook when pressed?

Tjensa's Crab Chowder :

1. Boil a crab until the death of the King in the Saegari then dunk it in the ocean to cool it.

2. Remove the claws and carve out the gills, pour the back fat into crab roe and mix them.

3. Simmer rumateur milk with chopped Deathcamas Bulbs, seaweed, and salt.

4. Add mussels, if available, and slowly add barley and the crab-roe-fat mixture to thicken.

5. Add the crab meat last and whatever pieces of jerky you can spare.

6. For special occasions, add talons.

7. Freeze any leftovers and reheat as necessary.

So, the first thing this tells you is she was poor when she devloped this -- crab is a thing you grab out of the trash when there is nothing else to eat. Next, that first line requires you to know a cultural song to time out the boiling. The other ingredients mentioned assume you have those on hand, which -- since we know she is poor -- are presumably easy to get.

Except the talons. And talons of what bird or animal? She doesn't specify because she assumes it is obvious. It's like "eggs". Whose eggs? (The answer is Eider. She expects you to have eider lying around.)

Now, of course, the final myster is the title: "Tjen'sa's Crab Chowder". Who's that?

Well, before she was the Burned Maiden of Nouveau Thuille, Arlasaire was a normal girl in a fishing village. Neither her name nor her signature dish is from the culture or class of the people who adopted her. This is the last thing she has of the girl before she was burned...

BUT to end on a happier note, here is the recipe again in her mother tongue:

Abrauche d'Maristienne d'Tienza:

1. V'Abraunis maristienne e Luitra d'Roi di Saegari. Alicina daveneu, v'freinis maristienne di asaura fitte eissa.

2. V'Inevoivis marisse och hesapre. V'Hachenis neuse d'igrenne di oin d'maristienne och v'tegi'is.

3. V'Cezena girache d'rumateur il vedruilanienne luitracamia, asaulille, och zel'e.

4. V'Freinis seugrenne, the deusrian zairuin, och aivienne v'freinis cleussia och oin-och-neuse hachelan fitte cuima tegilanienne.

5. V'Freinis saidre d'maristienne och inerlatte saidre, the cuitreun.

6. Fitte chevalicina daveneus, v'freinis marivelle.

7. Eissa idrian ceson e eisse och v'abraunis idaneu euv vilaralen.

Okay, this got a lot more in-depth than I initially planned I'm sorry/not sorry lololol I think about food and culture literally every day. This is my jam. Thank you for indulging me!

OC Signature Dishes

A small writing exercise inspired by Genshin's Specialty Dishes; What is this character's signature dish? If they were asked to bring something to a potluck, or make a last-minute dinner for a dear friend, what's the food they would default to? The goal is to describe the flavor and texture of the dish while at the same time revealing just a bit of the character's personality.

I had a lot of fun writing these, so hopefully I'll have more soon ^^

Azael - "Special Occasion" (Honeyed Apple Tart with Peanut Butter)

A dessert specifically reserved for special occasions and jobs well done. Only the fullest, most vibrant red apples in the orchard were finely sliced and layered upon the flaky pastry with precision and care. The roasted nuttiness of the peanut base softens the tartness of the apple, and the finishing touch is a drizzle of wildflower honey with dash of sugar. Being a stranger to the kitchen, Azael had to commit a great deal of time towards putting together this deceptively simple dish. Seeing you smile as you lick honey off your fingers is their hard-earned reward.

Lyerei - Auroral Sweet Ice (Rainbow Shaved Ice)

With a whispered incantation and a simple Prestidigitation spell, a cup of mountain spring water turns into a colorful treat in the blink of an eye! The refreshingly cool flakes of ice melt onto your tongue, simulating a medley of sweet berries and other fruits. The only colors Lyerei adds are a vivid red, a deep blue, and a bright yellow. These three simple hues, when swirled together, create all the colors of the Light Bearer clan's aurora in their center.

Sota - Post Workout Pick-Me-Up (Four Seed Bread Rolls)

Fluffy, buttery bread rolls with a golden crust, cut in two and slathered with tart cherry compote. Portable and nutritious, they're the perfect snack for when you have a busy day ahead. Each family in the Blackcliff Roost has their own recipe for baking bread, and so each loaf tastes just a bit different from the one next door. But there's a particular detail that sets Sota's recipe apart from all the others - the sprinkle of sesame, flax, poppy, and sunflower seeds added just before baking that give the crisp crust a subtle, nutty flavor.

Elgimn - "Surprise Me" (Seafood Rice Balls seeped in Green Tea)

One must be extraordinarily patient to allow the fluffy rice grains to seep in green tea until they are infused with a bitingly bitter taste. But the light aroma of the rice mixed with fresh crab meat leaves a sweet aftertaste lingering on the tongue. It seems even the most battle-worn warlords cannot resist indulging in life's simple delights every once in a while...

Thank you for reading! 💙

Good Morning from Scotland.

An Teallach at Dawn by Derek Beattie Via Flickr: The mountain of An Teallach in Wester Ross, Northwest Highlands of Scotland. An Teallach has two Munros,the higher Bidean a’ Ghlas Thuill and Sgurr Fiona. One of the finest mountains in Scotland, pictured here just before the sun rose on a very cold March morning. The road in the bottom right is the A832, known as the " Destitution Road " and reaches a height of nearly 1100 feet on this stretch.

I got the new Fontaine update on Genshin Impact and I'm basically going feral. I mean, Nouveau Thuille from my worldbuilding project is basically "France but more Asian" and this is that.

Also, the Ace Attorney vibes ARE SO REAL -- I feel so at home 😍

Also also, I have loved all the girls already but NAVIA has me in an unexpected chokehold. Chlorinde is as good as I was expecting but Navia is even better. Her henchmen are the best. She took me on a date. We're already going to have our first sleepover in the Opera House. I love her.

Lyney and Lynette are basically two of my D&D characters also, so I love them and their relationship and their potentially sketchy relationship with their parents.

Also, the Hydro Archon is AMAZING. I love her. But she and Neuvilette are some of a rare case of me liking the ENG VAs better. That being said, softer Japanese Hydro Archon is a little less sassy and Neuvilette is basically just too young sounding. All the older men need deeper voices lol

Okay okay, I'm done gushing about Fontaine

2. Heinrich von Herzogenberg (1843-1900)

Herzogenberg was born in Graz to a wealthy family. As a student he studied law and philosophy in Vienna, but abandoned this to be taught composition by (like Fuchs) Otto Dessoff. In 1868 he married Elizabeth von Stockhausen the daughter of Hanover's ambassador to Vienna. She had studied with Brahms. Around this time, now living in Graz, Herzogenberg was working as a freelance composer and writing larger scale works in a more Wagnerian style. However, he underwent a kind of stylistic transformation andpublished very little for a couple of years. 

In 1872 the couple moved to Leipzig and by this time Herzogenberg was writing more chamber music, with a Brahmsian influence. In 1874 he co founded the Bach Society, a year later he became director, a post which lasted for ten years. In 1892 his wife died aged only 44, followed two years later by his close friend Philipp Spitta. Herzogenberg's big influence was Brahms, who was very frugal with his approval of Heinrich's work. But for me, although their modus operandi may be similar, the harmonies and melodies are not, and through these writing differences reveal the different authors' characteristics. 

Here follows a heart piercingly beautiful song, possibly influenced by the tragedies mentioned above, performed by soprano Hélène Lindqvist and pianist Philipp Vogler of The Art Song Project.
