Classical Music Suites Bracket
Hi everyone! After the success that the symphony bracket has been so far I thought I'd keep the fun going by hosting the suites bracket that was initially discussed on that blog. The format will remain quite similar, but I'll clarify this when the tournament starts which will likely be sometime in December. There is only the one mod, so please be patient with me (oh also she/they pronouns please).
I'm accepting submissions, so here's some guidelines for that:
Please make submissions to the ask box.
You can include propaganda if you would like to but you don't have to.
If there is a specific recording that you would like me to use please specify it in your submission.
For the purposes of this bracket suite is fairly broad, though it will be restricted to suites with at least 2 movements. Please don't submit works that are other forms (eg. symphony, concerto, opera etc). If the mod determines that a submission is not clearly a suite then a poll will be created to determine general consensus.
The number of suites to make it into the bracket is yet to be determined, but it will be either 16, 32, or 64, depending on the number of submissions.
As submissions come in, I will add them to the bottom of this post every so often.
Also as an extra little novelty, feel free to guess the suite, movement, and instrument of the sheet music in the header image :)
Tagging @symphonybracket to credit the idea as that is where the idea was first talked about and much of the format has come from.
Feel free to share this post, ask any questions you may have, and of course start submitting!

Which concerto do you prefer?
Propaganda:
Paganini:
- Finale is fucking fire - slaps so hard that K-pop group BLACKPINK sampled it - composed by a guy who supposedly sold his soul to the devil, how is that not the most metal thing?
Vaughan Williams:
You will never know the epic highs and lows [of high school football] of The Lark Ascending! This is a masterpiece of storytelling. It's got everything - basis on a poem of the same name by George Meredith, adapted for violin and full orchestra after wwi, the subtitle 'a romance'. Absolute slay by Ralph here, what else can I say but give the relevant portion of the poem?
He rises and begins to round, He drops the silver chain of sound, Of many links without a break, In chirrup, whistle, slur and shake.
For singing till his heaven fills, 'Tis love of earth that he instils, And ever winging up and up, Our valley is his golden cup And he the wine which overflows to lift us with him as he goes.
Till lost on his aerial rings In light, and then the fancy sings

6.23.2024 :: quick little clip of some Vaughan Williams Phantasy Quintet from this afternoon's chamber concert 🥰 (opening of mvmt 4 -- we only played 3&4 due to time constraints but this tune is the catchiest thing, we were singing it all day after every rehearsal)

The eclipse has some opinions about the bowings for this Vaughan Williams piece.
(I recently got hired to copy bow markings for my local symphony!)

English Folk Song Suite (Ralph Vaughan Williams):
1 Submission
No propaganda
Mother Goose Suite (Maurice Ravel):
1 Submission
Each movement of this suite was inspired by a children's or folk tale. It was originally written for two pianos and dedicated to the two children of sculpter Godebski. Ravel later scored it for orchestra (which is this version) and ballet. The music is just so French and wonderful…lots of beautiful textures and colors. My favorite movement (no. 3) has such cool orchestration - Ravel uses a lot of metallic and wooden keyboard percussion, celesta, and it's also very woodwind focused. I'm a flutist and I love all the flute and piccolo parts. The title of this movement is also kinda funny…it literally translates to "Little Ugly Girl, Empress of the Pagodas." Like a lot of French music of the time, this movement in particular has a lot of influences from southeast Asian music (pentatonic scales, and the percussion textures used sort of mimic Javanese gamelan music). I like this recording from a musical standpoint but also because the album cover is so silly lol

This piece makes me want to roam the English countryside, through sunshine and rain, listening to the skylarks call and the wind sweep over the undulating fields of green.

Had this long interesting back story planned out for the next chapter...but then I got mentally exhausted from work this week and decided to write goofy smut instead. The song lyrics Emmet quotes is from something I haven't thought about in years. Here's a song that sort of suits Volo's traveling merchant lifestyle.

Riders to the Sea (Homens ao Mar) (Ralph Vaughan Williams) - São Paulo, 08/março/2024
Ópera completa com legenda em português: link.
Uma pequena obra-prima, um estudo sobre dor e luz. Nesta forma de ópera fluida, sem números específicos e com o canto baseado na melodia do falar, a partitura se revela um personagem em si, em marés de acordes contínuos, a elevar e baixar a tensão - não há um só momento em que a música nos deixa em terra firme.
Vaugham Williams foi um compositor fundamental da escola nacionalista inglesa. Coletou canções populares, ochanteys (cantigas de marinheiro) das regiões portuárias e criou a partir desse repertório uma linguagem pessoal, refinada.
Programação:
RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS (1872-1958) Fantasia sobre um tema de Thomas Tallis – 17’
RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS (1872-1958) Homens ao Mar – 36'
Programa duplo de Vaugham Williams, que se inicia com a sinfonia "Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis". Caetano Vilela, que está à frente da encenação, deu um sentido dramatúrgico para essa abertura musical, utilizando a sinfonia para apresentar os personagens dos filhos e o marido da protagonista, que morrem no mar.
“A gente usa a Fantasia sobre um Tema de Thomas Tallis como prólogo, já que, em boa parte da obra, a matriarca Maurya (Lidia Schaeffer) relembra os filhos que perdeu no mar. Cláudio Cruz sugeriu essa peça e eu vi uma oportunidade de brincar de teatro ali, contando a história desses filhos numa pantomima. A gente usa um cenário mais simbolista, sem marcações específicas, e com uma grande ‘onda’ abstrata se pronunciando sobre os personagens.”
“A concepção cenográfica é minha, mas busquei no arquiteto e cenógrafo Pedro Levorin soluções arquitetônicas para situar esta ação num espaço simbólico; com rampas desniveladas, dando uma ideia de que esta casa está num penhasco, à beira de um precipício, com as rochas brancas do fundo do mar presentes em um plano inferior. Também há um teto que engole a casa, como se fosse uma grande onda do mar que paira sobre os personagens”, destaca o diretor Caetano Vilela.

Personagens principais: - Bartley: o filho mais novo de Maurya. - Cathleen: filha mais velha de Maurya, tenta evitar que sua mãe morra de tristeza. - Maurya: viúva e mãe de oito filhos (Cathleen, Nora, Bartley, Shawn, Sheamus, Stephen, Patch e Michael). - Nora: a filha mais nova de Maurya, ajuda sua irmã com a mãe.
Sinopse: Antes do início da ópera: Maurya, uma irlandesa idosa, perdeu o marido, o sogro e quatro de seus filhos (Shawn, Sheamus, Stephen, Patch) no mar.
As filhas de Maurya, Nora e Cathleen, recebem a notícia de que um corpo que pode ser de seu irmão Michael, o quinto filho de Maurya, deu à costa em Donegal, bem ao norte. O sexto e último filho, Bartley, está planejando ir à feira de Galway para vender cavalos. Maurya teme os ventos do mar e pede a Bartley que fique, mas Bartley insiste em ir e montará "na égua vermelha com o pônei cinza atrás dele". Maurya prevê que, ao anoitecer, ela não terá mais filhos vivos, e suas filhas a repreendem por ter mandado Bartley embora com uma palavra ruim. Maurya vai atrás de Bartley para abençoar sua viagem. Nora e Cathleen recebem roupas do cadáver afogado que confirmam que ele é Michael. Maurya volta para casa, afirmando ter visto o fantasma de Michael cavalgando atrás de Bartley e começa a lamentar a perda dos homens de sua família para o mar. Nora então vê os aldeões carregando uma carga, que acaba sendo o cadáver de Bartley, que caiu do cavalo no mar e se afogou. Maurya lamenta: "Todos eles se foram agora, e não há mais nada que o mar possa fazer comigo."
