Samuel Barber & Gian Carlo Menotti
This Pride Month H2shO™️ CLASSICAL celebrates LGBTQ+ classical music composers & conductors, from the prolific composers to the lesser known, who have been great contributors to music history.
While Samuel Barber was still a teenager at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia, he met fellow student Gian Carlo Menotti. For six decades, the two distinguished composers would became partners in life and in music.
Barber’s most famous composition is his “Adagio for Strings,” written while he and Menotti spent a summer in a rented house on Wolfgangsee, Austria (near Salzburg) in 1936. The Adagio was one of President John F Kennedy’s favorites. Included is a photograph taken of couples Jackie Kennedy & John, Samuel Barber and Gian Carlo Menotti taken a week before the President was killed.
Menotti wrote the libretti for two of Samuel Barber's operas, Vanessa and A Hand of Bridge, as well as revising the latter for another opera, Antony and Cleopatra.
By the early 1970’s, the classical music power couple parted. Barber became reclusive and suffered from alcoholism after enduring harsh criticism of his later works. Menotti moved to Scotland in 1973. The break-up may have hastened Barber's decline. But when Barber died in 1981, Menotti was by his side. Theirs is a complicated love story.

Never would have happened because they were both like deeply deeply traumatised but I think the funniest thing that could have happened is if Wu Ming just panicked every time Xie Lian looked at him like proper girl with a crush, falling over bins, horny on main, word vomit I think it would have cured Xie Lian of his mental illness and given him like 8 new ones.
#wulian#tgcf#tian guan ci fu#hua cheng#xie lian#hualian#wu ming#heaven official's blessing#Wu Ming is to cool and composed because trauma bit I think he should have been painfully a teen with a gay crush#Xie Lian: stabs someone#Wu Ming: God I wish that were me#zees 2am text posts

Late night sketch of Mozart from memory, because I love him. One would think I’d draw him more, as obsessed with him as I am. I used his own painted reference of the deformity in his left ear. Apparently he also had a little earring? It’s cute.
Mozart knew he was not particularly attractive so he made up for this by taking fastidious care of his appearance, being funny, and often placing his talent on display before himself.

hey guys next time one of you touches classical music history can you please focus on studying the lives of actual gay composers instead of yaoifying mozart and salieri because of amadeus?
#classical music#history#scherzina rant#amadeus 1984#as someone who's read of lot about classical music history i hate it when this is what people get from it#and it's not like gay classical composers are rare either lol

"I think Maturin as a naturalist kind of verges on the profound... together these two men are a dialectic which will deliver the world we live in, for better and worse. ...you have the scientific, rational, and you have the, y'know, martial... you can plug it into whatever fuckin' dichotomy you want, Dionysus and Apollo..."
— November Kelly, Kill James Bond! s3e8.5: Master and Commander
#aubreyad#hello I am posting another kjb aubreyad episode quotation#which does not encompass the fact that the next line is discussing stephen's 'gay little kimono'#nor abigail thorn's merry little 'hee hee they compose a dramaturgical dyad!'#and THIS is a solid part of why I do and have long enjoyed the aubreyad. it's So.#also I should state that this is also a podcast that understands what goeth on in the movie so very much ('get becalmed idiot!')

Do you think Wei wuxian listens to weezer?
I don't know...I don't know...I really don't know.....
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan sizhui#blood#I mean this in the most sincerest way possible: This ask has become my 'does bruno mars is gay' to me and anyone in close enough proximity#I first read this after having just woken up and it rattled me so intensely#would he???? I don't know??? It's dad music but it also sort of works for someone a little bit out of step with time?#I'm a bit of a wwx kinnie and I love music but I don't really have any headcanons for what modern music he'd like#other than 'unironically classical music and its one of the first things he bonds with lwj over as teens'#(they get into very heated arguments about composers and arrangements)#but also. the concept of wwx really liking wheezer to the point its the first thing he's gotta check in on after 13 years dead?#*that* did me in real good#I hope people enjoy this one as much as I did#'Does wwx listen to wheezer' Please oh god wheezer and mdzs fans please come together to tell me what songs wwx would like#my money is on 'lost in the woods' its so campy#EDIT: just been informed weezer doesnt have an H in it..this is how much i know. thank u everyone who left weezer recs in comments and tags

Marwa Bziwech & Charles Monet; a pair of law students who gave up stuffy suits to be paranormal investigators together in the neboulous pre war era of French protectorate-Beylik Tunisia. They hate each other.

(trick question they're both aro. as always)#charles is a trust fund pretty boy coasting off a fat inheritance from his grandmother#he's autistic in that bbc sherlock way where he's an asshole but ppl like him somehow??#marwa is a very angry rebel who's just barely composed herself in order to exist in society#they have to mentor a weirdo teenager who has the fate of nations in his hands. they just barely keep their sanity
