Writing Music shuffle for June 3

Getting back to the classical tunes for June. I'm going to link some of my old favorites, nothing fancy, and some new-to-me ones I've heard on my local classical radio station.

1 Submission

Last win - Capriccio Espagnol (Rimsky-Korsakov)

it’s a masterpiece of orchestration that conveys exactly and beautifully what is happening in each movement and you know it’s good when it’s used to test how good an orchestra is also you’d better get swept away at the climax of the first movement when the chorus comes in!!

Ghosts' favourite 'classical' music:

Robin - Carmina Burana. He would absolutely adore the dramatics of it.

Humphrey - Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. He hates Greensleeves with all his heart, and whenever another ghosts brings it up he flips. But he's a big fan of Vaughan Williams and Tudor music generally.

Mary - movement 4 of Holst's Second Suite. It has two folk tunes going at the same time, including Humphrey's dreaded Greensleeves, but Mary loves dancing to it.

Kitty - Nocturne No.2 - Chopin. It's emotional and dramatic in its own way at the same time

Thomas - Beethoven's 5th symphony. The really REALLY famous one. The ridiculous drama of it would totally appeal.

Fanny - Mozart's 39th symphony. In fact, any Mozart, Haydn, or other Classical era music, she isn't that fussy. Absolutely cannot stand Beethoven.

Captain - the Liberty Bell. A military march. No more needs to be said.

Pat - English Folk Song Suite. That man loves his folk tunes (and has danced round the living room with Mary on occasion)

Julian - Danse Macabre. I don't have an explanation for this one, it just fits.

I have also made a playlist with these on (not the whole symphony, whole suite etc. just one movement) if anyone's interested:

'Evenin' all, Mr. Baggins here with a set of music to soothe your achin' nerves and help ease us all into a good night. I thought we'd begin a survey of the complete recordings Marriner and The Academy made of Schubert's Symphonies. Let's hear them play Schubert's Symphony No. 1, in D major, D82.

Next we hear the legendary Chilean-American pianist Claudio Arrau play the music of Claude Debussy, his "Suite Bergamasque", from his classic Philips recordings of Debussy's complete piano works.

Next we hear a group of Debussy's songs, his "Proses Lyrique", sung by the marvelous Elly Ameling, with her accompanist Dalton Baldwin, recorded in the '70s, when she was at her peak. Lovely pieces sung by one of the loveliest voices ever to grace the planet, I do hope you enjoy!

Now let's turn the clock back to Vivaldi. I've played you the "Fall" movement from my absolute favorite recording of The Four Seasons. I thought tonight we might hear the entire suite. Once again, here is violinist Susanne Lautenbacher and the Wurttemberg Chamber Orchestra, with Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons".

Let's move now to music of Ravel; this is his ballet "Daphnis et Chloe", the complete piece, played by Charles Munch and The Boston Symphony Orchestra in another classic RCA Living Stereo recording, from 1955.

Let's check back in with Neville and The Academy for a little Vaughan Williams, three pieces to round out our evening. First let's hear his "Fantasia On Greensleeves".

Next up, his gorgeous "Fantasia on a Theme By Thomas Tallis".

And let's end the evening on a truly transcendant note: here is "The Lark Ascending", their classic 1972 recording.

That's all the space we have for this evening, I do hope you've enjoyed. This is Mr. Baggins, wishing you a peaceful and restful good night. I'll return at 8am with your Morning Coffee Music.

Until then, dream sweet dreams, babies, dream sweet dreams.

Baggins out.

Pale Green Things (The Mountain Goats)

You parked behind the paddock/Cracking asphalt underfoot/Coming up through the cracks/Pale green things/Pale green things

"The culmination of an album about songwriter John Darnielle's traumatic adolescence, "Pale Green Things" describes one of the few happy memories he has of his abusive stepfather and then, years later, his reaction to his stepfather's death, when he thinks back on that same memory. While previous songs on the album that touched on his stepfather's abuse were overtly angry or defiant, "Pale Green Things" is subdued and contemplative. It leaves a lot of things unsaid, instead allowing the narrator's feelings to be implied through his descriptions of the two scenes. There is no direct depiction of abuse, instead focusing on a moment of tentative hope and peace, a moment made simultaneously more painful and more precious by the revelation that it was a rare and temporary reprieve. The focus of "Pale Green Things" is not the pain caused directly by instances of abuse, but rather the absence of a positive relationship, and the complicated feelings that come from the glimpses of what that better relationship could have been like. Although finally free of his abuser, the narrator will continue to live with the pain his abuser caused him. But, he isn't trapped in that pain anymore, and he can also remember the good times they spent together, however rare and fleeting they were. The titular "pale green things" can only grow in the cracks of the asphalt parking lot, but their presence proves that the asphalt couldn't kill them all completely. As someone who has a complex and sometimes painful relationship with their own parents, "Pale Green Things" hits hard. I think for anyone who's been in a similar situation, of trying to sort through their feelings toward someone who hurt them badly but wasn't "all bad", it's a very powerful song. Even without knowing the context of the rest of the album, or of how the song related to the songwriter's real life, listening to it for the first time felt like getting hit by a truck. 10/10"

Second suite in F: mvt. 4 Fantasia on the Dargason (Gustav Holst)

Alas, my love, you do me wrong/To cast me off discourteously/For I have loved you oh, so long/Delighting in your company

"Ok so it's a setting of an English folk song right, it's got an ostinato that goes throughout the entire thing like a passacaglia, and that theme is just so joyous AND THEN YOU GET GREENSLEEVES AS WELL like ohhhhh my god the INSTRUMENTATION the ORCHESTRATION the way he uses the lower brass is just fucking phenomenal oh my godddddd. I know this won't get through but please consider classical also fucks me up worse than any other music. The blorbo I project it onto is Percy Grainger, an Australian composer, a contemporary of Holst, and like it really just gives vibes of his entire life like you have the chromatic scale building to the FF hits which are him whipping his wife, then the Greensleeves is his lament at his mother's suicide like yeah it's so relevant to everything"

French vanilla, chocolate, cookie dough, and coconut pineapple for the ice cream asks?? Lobe you Clara dear. 🫶🏻🫶🏻

french vanilla— what’s something you want to tell your followers? thank you so much for sticking by me as I cycle through the most random phases ever known to a person. this used to be a place for actual content, but for some reason this semblance of a blog, more a conglomeration of thoughts and art and fashion, still attracts people?? i'm glad you guys see anything in it at all. i am deeply uncool and intimidated by all 1500 of you

chocolate— what song is stuck in your head right now? none but I'm listening to fantasia on greensleeves right now <3 once again asking you all to check out my desktop theme and listen to it as you browse and maybe you'll calm down

cookie dough— do you prefer jewel tones or earth tones? (so, do you like cool toned colors more or warm, earthy colors more) not entirely sure I understand the distinction but I love jewel tones! bright colors are so pretty

coconut pineapple— do you have any nicknames? and, is there anything you’d want to change your name to? I do have a common nickname used by almost all my friends, but it's a variation of my last name so I'd rather not say on here. they also call me squisheep - can you guess where that one came from💔 i wouldn't change my name, I think Clara is pretty but mostly I am a strong believer in names as conveyors of identity and to change that would be to lose a piece of myself. thats one of the reasons why I will not change my last name if I ever get married. the other reason is that i think it's dumb as shit

ice cream-themed asks!
