Then all of a sudden…some of Rocket’s buttons broke off! The bug buttons, the animal buttons, the construction vehicle buttons, the fire rescue buttons, the accelerando button, the high and low buttons, the clapper catcher button, the submarine button, the pogo bouncer button, the train button, the flying button, and even the super fast button! Ellie promised to help Rocket find all his missing buttons. Will she find them all in time so Rocket can get back to doing all the things he loves to do? Only time will tell.

The lonely vampire girl. The team was going a Halloween carnival and they were going trick or treating to famous buildings. But I had gotten word that there vampire girl who was named Flandre Scarlet. She sounded scary, but she’s actually very nice. She’s got colorful wings and she’s really cute too. But she’s also rather lonely. Nobody wanted to play with her and most of her toys broke. Will the team cheer her up by taking her trick or treating and going to the Halloween carnival? Find out next time. Featuring the art “The scream” by Edvard Munch and music “Peer Gynt suite number 1: in the hall of the mountain king” by Edvard Grieg.

The missing marshmallows! The team was going camping. We were going to roast marshmallows and make s’mores to eat for our campout dessert, when Big Jet swooped in and took my bag of marshmallows! He was gonna all of the marshmallows for himself? Can the Little Einsteins save the marshmallows in time before Big Jet eats them? Find out soon.

Annie, Amanda and the ice fairy. The Little Einsteins were playing in the snow, when Amanda & Annie saw a cute ice fairy named Cirno. She has the power to make snow and ice. When suddenly Big Jet and his cronies flew in and kidnapped Cirno! They were going to take her to the volcano known as Mount Vesuvius and melt her! Will the team rescue Cirno in time for the ice sculpture competition at the winter festival? Only time will tell.

Leo and the lost city. Leo was feeling sad because he lost his photo album, where he keeps all his pictures, even his baby pictures. He wanted to know where it is. Big Jet let him know he didn’t take it. Then the Little Einsteins met Dora and she told them that it’s at the lost city. Can they find it so Leo can be very happy again? And if they succeed, will Dora become an honorary team member? Only time will tell.

[blackswaneuroparedux]

Anonymous asked: I always think of you as Kristin Scott Thomas’ character Fiona in Four Weddings and a Funeral as a beautiful woman who is scarily clever and classy. So with my upcoming wedding (next year!) and especially wedding music I thought of you. I really would appreciate your advice on Mendelssohn or Wagner as they seem to be the traditional choices of music to play at a traditional church wedding. My fiancé isn’t bothered what music we play but I can’t decide. Please do help as I value your unvarnished truth.

Thank you for the flattering words which while well intentioned are nevertheless entirely misplaced.

Swiftly moving on, a sincere congratulations on your forthcoming wedding. I can only imagine how stressful it must be running around like a headless chicken trying to desperately organise everything. And desperate you certainly must be - perhaps even certifiably insane -  if you’re turning to me on Tumblr for advice!

I’m not married....yet ( oops! better get that caveat in before I am chastised by those who really know me)  but I am a wedding veteran - some would even say, a jaded one (thank you, mummy).

Every season there is a string of wedding invitations that I can’t turn down and I feel obligated to attend. While great fun, one wedding starts to blur into another especially when the champagne starts to copiously flow. I have my own thoughts on the good, the bad, and the tacky about wedding etiquette but I don’t want to disappear down that rabbit hole. Instead let’s talk about Mendelssohn and Wagner.

Both music pieces have traditionally struck a chord (pardon the pun) and have become a staple of traditional weddings since time immemorial.

Mendelssohn's ‘Wedding March’ was originally composed in 1842. He got there first.

Wagner's ‘Bridal Chorus’ came later in 1848. The ‘Bridal Chorus’ became a popularised piece to play at weddings around Europe after it was most memorably used as the processional at the wedding of Victoria, the Princess Royal to Prince Frederick William of Prussia in 1858. Nowadays - certainly in Britain and the US -  it is generally known as "Here Comes the Bride”.

I suppose the straight forward answer is that it doesn’t have to be Wagner vs. Mendelssohn. Why not both?  Wagner’s ‘Bridal Chorus’ can be used for the entrance processional of the bride walking down the aisle and the Mendelssohn ‘Wedding March’ for the recessional walk out of the church.

But you did say you wanted my ‘unvarnished truth’ so allow me the small luxury of an arm chair rant from the Coronavirus self-isolation of my Paris apartment. 

Of the two I would definitely ditch the Wagner piece. Please don’t misunderstood me. I am a huge fan of Wagner’s music - like any true Wagnerian I have taken more than one pilgrimage to Beyreuth - but in this case playing Wagner’s music would show a frightful ignorance of the meaning behind the ‘Bridal Chorus’ piece.  

I don’t know why more people haven’t picked up on this but I’ve always found it a terribly odd piece to play at a wedding especially as it originates from Wagner’s masterful opera, Lohengrin.

Wagner came upon the opera's inspiration around 1845 when he took interest in the legend of the Holy Grail through the poems of Wolfram von Eschenbach and the anonymous epic of Lohengrin. Composed by 1848, Lohengrin features "Bridal Chorus" as the prelude to a very short-lived, doomed marriage between Elsa and Lohengrin.

The famous ‘Bridal Chorus’ is lustily sung by women of the bridal party serenading Elsa to the bridal suite after the wedding in Act III. Elsa is not allowed to know her true knight’s true name and identity. But this is a romantic German opera and so of course Lohengrin is found out with dire consequences for all.  A sad Lohengrin ends up revealing that  he is in fact a knight of the Grail and son of King Parsifal, sent to protect an unjustly accused woman. The laws of the Holy Grail say that Knights of the Grail must remain anonymous. If their identity is revealed, they must return home. Lohengrin is lead back to the castle of the Holy Grail. Elsa is grief stricken at being left behind.  Poor Elsa (naturally) collapses and dies with a broken heart.

Charming.

To say it’s not the happiest of allusions of looking forward to a long life of wedded bliss would be an understatement.

However my objections against Wagner’s ‘Bridal Chorus’ goes beyond this. For one thing I find it rather too sombre - Oh dear God! Is marriage really like this?!

My main ire is that it overly used and therefore boring to listen to. And when one is bored the mind wanders.

In my case, without sounding malicious, my mind just drifts to whispering mischievous lyrics under my breath that go like, “here comes the bride, big fat and wide, here comes the groom, skinny as a broom.” Try as I might I can never get those words out of my silly mind whenever I hear the organ music playing “Here come’s the bride.” Not my finest hour.

Now Mendelssohn’s ‘Wedding March’ is different beast entirely. Beast being the operative word as we are dealing with Pagan deities.

Typically used in church wedding recessionals, the ‘Wedding March’ piece has sparked controversy due to its literary origins. The Prussian monarch Friedrich Wilhelm IV commissioned Mendelssohn to compose incidental music for many pieces that were based upon Greek mythology and tragedy in order to revive the genre of literature and performance. Among his commissions, in 1843 Mendelssohn composed a setting for William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream; the setting comprises twelve musical numbers and a finale. The plot of Shakespeare's play focuses on a pagan god and goddess and is filled with fairies, magic, and fantasy. Due to the piece's pagan, fantastic inspirations, some puritanical leaders and musicians - particularly in Roman Catholic churches - have found the piece to be inappropriate for a Christian religious ceremony. In its defence at least Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night's Dream was a comedy with a happy ending.

If you’re feeling traditional rather than puritanical then the joyous Mendelssohn ‘Wedding March’ might still be a great option either as a processional or recessional.

If you’re looking for options outside of either Wagner and Mendelssohn then it’s really a matter of exercising good taste alongside what suits the personal tone of your wedding.

Off the top of my head I keep coming back to Johann Sebastian Bach.

Bach’s many cantatas and fugues seem to tick all the boxes. In particular there is Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (derived from the cantata Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben, "Heart and Mouth and Deed and Life”). There is also the Toccata and Fugue in D minor ‘Dorian’ BWV 538 and the Toccata and Fugue in F Major, BWV 540.  Arioso in A flat for solo piano from Cantata No. 156 "Ich steh`mit einem Fuss im Grabe is softly elegant. A particular favourite piece of mine is Weichet nur, betrübte Schatten, BWV 202, the ‘Wedding Cantata’. Of course many would point out that Bach’s Ave Maria would be perfect for a processional but I would think twice about that. As beautiful as the piece is it is about the Virgin Mary after all and you may invite unwanted speculation from your guests if you are (cough) chaste.

Trumpet Tune in D by Jeremiah Clarke is a little more festive. Or consider his more famous Trumpet Voluntary ‘The Prince of Denmark's March’.

Charles-Marie Widor  was a fine composer and his Toccata (from Symphony for Organ No. 5) is spiritually intense for traditional organ music.

Eugène Gigout's famous Grand Chœur Dialogué might appeal to you as well.

G.F. Handel’s Water Music Suite - Air has a graceful and calming tone. The Arrival of The Queen of Sheba (Solomon) HWV 67 is upbeat and was made for a processional.

Beethoven’s Für Elise is perfect to calm last minute panic attacks before you go up the aisle.

And how can one forget Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart?

The Serenade No. 13 for strings in G major, K. 525 or more commonly known as Eine kleine Nachtmusik KV. 525 - II. Romanze: Andante is a beautiful melody familiar to many and sets a soothing tone. Ave verum corpus, K.618 is profoundly spiritual and lifts your hearts up to the angels. ‘Alleluia’ from ‘Exsultate, jubilate’ is wonderful if you can get your hands on a competent soprano. If you are feeling more adventurous then the Spanish Wedding March from The Marriage of Figaro which might be to your taste. 

Elgar’s Salut d'Amour, Op. 12 is soft, inviting and makes one feel you’re in some 19th Century romance novel set at court.

Elgar finished the piece in July 1888, when he was romantically involved with Caroline Alice Roberts, and he called it Liebesgruss ('Love's Greeting') because of Miss Roberts' fluency in German. When he returned home to London on 22 September from a holiday at the house of his friend Dr. Charles Buck, in Settle, he presented it to her as an engagement present. The dedication was in French: à Carice. 'Carice' was a combination of his wife's names Caroline Alice, and was the name to be given to their daughter born two years later.

Edvard Grieg’s Wedding Day at Troldhauen, Op. 65, no. 6 is magnificently playful.

Jean-Joseph Mouret’s Rondeau from Sinfonie de Fanfares is a beautiful Baroque piece. What’s a wedding without trumpets that could be heard all the way into the heavens?

Gluck’s Dance of the Blessed Spirits from his Orfeo et Euridice can be an elegant choice to do a recessional. Perfect for sensitive souls.

Gabriel Fauré’s Pavane, Op. 50 is sublime. I can never get tired of listening to it. Would make a worthy piece as a processional.

I would also throw into the mix Gaetano Donizetti’s ‘Una furtiva lagrima’ (A furtive tear) is the romanza from Act II of his delightful opera L'elisir d'amore.

It is sung by Nemorino (a tenor) when it appears that the love potion he bought to win the heart of his dream lady, Adina, works. Nemorino is in love with Adina, but she is not interested in a relationship with an innocent, rustic man. To win her heart, Nemorino buys a love potion with all the money he has in his pocket. That love potion is actually a cheap red wine sold by a traveling quack doctor, but when he sees Adina weeping, he knows that she has fallen in love with him, and he is sure that the "elixir" has worked. It may not fit your idea of a processional but I would try and use it some where in your wedding - perhaps at the reception.

I feel guilty about trashing on Wagner and Mendelssohn so I will leave you with two final thoughts. Reconsider Wagner’s opera Lohengrin. Forget the Bridal Chorus but instead listen to the chorus ‘Gesegnet soll sie schreiten’ in Act II. The various horns give this chorus a dreamlike quality and you feel like you are floating on air. Mendelssohn’s On Wings of Song is a powerful and poignant piano piece and quite suitable to play as your guests away your arrival in church.

I am sure there are other great classical music pieces that I have neglected to mention but others reading this might give their thoughts in the comments below.

If knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, then wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. So give careful and considered thought to what music you throw together into the mix as your church wedding processional and recessional.

Congratulations again and I hope it’s a special day for both of you and your families and friends.

Thanks for your question.

character ages in “the classical kids”

I've seen some of the tags that people are talking about my characters ages. So. HERE'S A POST FOR YA AND SOME BACKGROUND

This story mainly revolves around 4 class, or 4 generations, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, late romantic ft. Impressionists

I don't know if this also applies in Europe, but students in college usually takes 4 years of college/university before graduated. But it could be more or less, depending the student's learning pace.

The ages under the cut bc this post is too freaking long

Baroque

The oldest so far in Baroque is Monteverdi, in the history he was the one who marked the line between renaissance and baroque.

So let's just say, the baroque composers ages here are ranging from 24 - 22, because some of them probably entering late in school, so there would be older generations.

Age 24

Claudio Monteverdi

Barbara Strozzi

Antonia Bembo

Angela Corelli

Age 23

Jeanne Lully

Johann Pachelbel

Antonio Vivaldi

Jean-Joseph Mouret

Age 22

Johann Sebastian Bach

Georg Frederic Handel

Georg Philipp Telemann

Age 21 : Christina Gluck

Classical

The oldest of classical supposed to be Gluck, but I moved Gluck to baroque because some musician still consider Gluck as a baroque composer.

Thus, the oldest here is Haydn. With the age range from 21-19

Age 21

Franz Joseph Haydn

Luisa Boccherini

Antonio Salieri

Maria Anna Mozart

Age 20

Johann Michael Haydn

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Age 19

This is for composers from the transitional period, Classical to Romantic. Or just Romantic but their style leans more to classical. This is in the Rossini's case.

Lotte van Beethoven

Giorgia Rossini

Romantic

This is where's everything is a mess.

So many things happened in the romantic era aka. The 1800s meanwhile the other classes are not. Like in the baroque we lack of traces of some other composer that could have been famous in the era, meanwhile the classical period only last for half of the 18th century.

Anyway, their age ranges from 19 - 18 /which now this part make the post super long/

Age 19

Niccolo Paganini

Carl Maria Von Weber

Franz Schubert

Fanny Mendelssohn

Hector Berlioz

Frederic Chopin

Robert Schumann

Age 18

Felix Mendelssohn

Franz Liszt

Clara Wieck (or Schumann, but they haven’t married duh)

Richard Wagner

Giuseppa Verdi

Johannes Brahms

Tekla Badarzewska

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Late Romantic + Early 20th century + Impressionist

Such mixed up class. Some of them are supposed to be in romantic above but ye I’m just want to group some of these fellas together so they can interact more.

The age ranges from 19 to 17. Yes, wider, because there’s too many romantic composers out there

Age 19

Camille Saint Saëns

Georges Bizet

Age 18

Antonín Dvořák

Eli Grieg

Paula de Sarasate

Francisco Tarrega

Age 17

Isaac Albeniz

Claude Debussy

Carl Nielsen

Jean Sibelius

Erika Satie

Sachi Rachmaninova (yep Rachmaninoff is female here, thus the name Rachmaninova. Idk how it would go using the ‘Rachmaninoff’ spelling)

Yea hope this useless and long ass liszt list help you figure out their background in some way.

Classical Sunrise Yesterday, July 14th

Every Morning on Weta Classical Linda Carducci has a feature called Classical Sunrise, During Classical Sunrise Linda plays a Cheerful piece of Music to match the same time as the Arrival of the sun. Yesterday for classical sunrise i heard A Familer Work that was used as the theme music for Masterpiece theatre, it was The Rondeau Movement From Sinfonies de Fanfare by The French Baroque Composer Jean Joseph Mouret.

The Piece opens with a triumphant drumroll and then the trumpet comes in. I heard it once before and I really like it.

Bloomer is a vintage steam locomotive with vermillion colored paint and two big drive wheels. He loves pulling coaches and taking enthusiasts around the island. His theme sounds just like Rondeau by Jean-Joseph Mouret.

CARILLON RECITAL ON SEPTEMBER 24 WILL DEDICATE NEW BELLS

09/22/2021

BY SJECWARRENTON

CARILLON RECITAL ON SEPTEMBER 24 WILL DEDICATE NEW BELLS

Carillonneur Jesse Ratcliffe will perform a recital at 6:30 p.m. Friday, September 24, on the Christ Church carillon, marking the dedication of two bells we recently added to the historic instrument. Ratcliffe will play a wide array of music set for carillon, ranging from traditional songs and hymn tunes to works by Scott Joplin and the French Baroque composer Jean-Joseph Mouret.

Weighing more than 1,200 and 900 pounds, respectively, the new bells are a memorial to Clair Holland, our volunteer carillonneur for nearly 40 years. A much-beloved educator who taught at Greenbrier Elementary School for almost two decades, Clair passed away in 2017 at the age of 93. The recital will include a new setting of the hymn “Onward Christian Soldiers” arranged by John Gouwens, also in memory of Clair. Today her daughter, Clair Robison, serves as our carillonneur.

Currently the choirmaster and organist at the Episcopal Church of the Heavenly Rest in Abilene, Texas, Ratcliffe has served as carillonneur of the Luray Singing Tower and at Hollins University in Virginia.  He is also the former choral director of the Staunton Choral Society. His work as a recitalist has been heard in numerous venues, among them the Edinburgh International Music Festival. He is a native of Hinton, West Virginia, and holds a bachelor’s degree from Concord University and a master of music degree from Shenandoah Conservatory in Winchester, Virginia.

The carillon in the Christ Church belltower is one of only five carillons in Virginia and the only one in the state in an independent church. It comprises 23 bells that were cast soon after World War II by Gillett & Johnston of Croydon, England, a foundry that produced some of the finest bells in the world. The two new bells, a low C-sharp and a low D-sharp, fill out the instrument’s two-octave range and were cast by the B. A. Sunderlin Bellfoundry of Ruther Glen, Virginia.
