VARIOS ARTISTAS

ANDY WHARHOL AND MUSIC

Por primera vez se lanza, en vinilo y CD, una recopilación musical vinculada a la figura de Andy Warhol, uno de los nombres fundamentales del arte del siglo XX y con una trayectoria muy vinculada a la música de su tiempo, especialmente en los años 60 y 70. Disponible el viernes 11 de octubre.

Escúchalo/descárgalo AQUÍ

En pocas ocasiones la vida y el trabajo de un pintor han estado tan mezclados con la música como en el caso de Warhol. Por ello en esta recopilación no podían faltar temas de los grupos y músicos con los que el artista neoyorquino estuvo íntimamente ligado como Velvet Underground, Nico, Lou Reed o John Cale.

El disco podría ser una pequeña banda sonora de la vida de Warhol y comienza con dos de los temas emblemáticos de The Velvet Underground, “Sunday Morning” y “Venus in Furs”. Posteriormente, se pueden escuchar canciones de Nico, Blondie, Lou Reed, Bob Dylan o Rolling Stones, entre otros grandes nombres de la música que se relacionaron con Warhol por distintos motivos.

En la cara B del vinilo se incluyen temas contemporáneos del artista y otras piezas clásicas que por diferentes razones pueden vincularse al artista. Entre estas últimas se incluyen temas de las óperas La Flauta Mágica y La Traviata.

Sin duda que Andy Warhol & Music es solo una de las muchas propuestas de banda sonora que se podrían poner a la vida del creador del pop-art, pero también es seguro que él las escogería para escuchar en algún momento de una vida marcada por la pasión por el arte en general y la música en particular.

FR DGG 413 824-1 リタ・シュトライヒ オペラ・アリア＆歌曲集 Rita Streich ‎– Portrait https://ift.tt/31vhhps

[infinitelytheheartexpands]

so today I’m gonna do something a little different and just give y’all a quick introduction to this opera I’ve been thinking about lately, Benjamin Godard’s 1888 opera Jocelyn.

the opera has never been recorded in full. two orchestral suites from the opera have been recorded (Suite 1; Suite 2). the only other thing from the opera that has been recorded is the opera’s (and Godard’s) most famous piece, the Berceuse “Cachés dans cet asile...Oh! ne t’éveille pas encore” from Act II. just Google it and you can find roughly five billion performances of it. my personal favorite is sung by Rita Streich, which is unusual given that it is not a soprano aria, but anyway.

the plot: it’s roughly a cross between Manon, Dialogues des Carmélites, and something else I can’t quite place but maybe that’s because I’m writing this at 11:30 PM on four and a half hours of sleep. also please bear in mind that because resources about this opera are scant and I am using one (1) old synopsis on Google Books and my understanding of French for a French-only vocal score.

We’re somewhere in France in the late 1700s. The story begins with this: there’s a family of some but not a lot of means, consisting of a widowed mother (mezzo) and her two children, Julie (soprano) and Jocelyn (tenor). you probably thought Jocelyn was a girl, and you would be wrong. anyway. the family doesn’t have enough money for a dowry for Julie, so Jocelyn offers to give up his part of the family inheritance so they have enough and become a priest instead, all in the name of his sister’s happiness. he’s a good egg. his mom’s like “...are you sure you wanna do that” and he’s like “yeah mom God has called me to do this and I’m fine with that just give me your blessing” so she does and then he says goodbye to his home and leaves.

but then the French Revolution breaks out, which is rather inconvenient for Jocelyn (who has become a seminarian) because, y’know, priests and the like were not exactly looked upon kindly in that time and place. as a result, he ends up wandering through the French Alps until one day, he comes across an old man (baritone) fleeing a group of revolutionary soldiers with his young son Laurence (soprano). the old man is shot to death by said soldiers but before dying, he asks Jocelyn (whom, let’s be real, he probably met for the first time right then) to take care of his son for him. 

Jocelyn and Laurence seek shelter in a cave together. Laurence sleeps and Jocelyn sings his Berceuse. Laurence wakes and the two of them realize they are mutually attracted to one another. “GAY OPERA GAY OPERA GAY OPERA!!!” you begin to chant. Sorry to disappoint all of you, but as it turns out, it is shortly revealed that Laurence is actually a girl, who for safety reasons her father had been passing off as a boy. they declare their love. Jocelyn decides to renounce his plans to become a priest and get married to Laurence (even sans inheritance).

however, fate has other plans.

an old bishop (bass) in Grenoble is arrested and condemned to death for counterrevolutionary activities (this is the French Revolution, after all). Jocelyn is summoned to Grenoble because the bishop has asked for someone who can hear his confession and bless him before his death and for whatever reason whoever was in charge of making those decisions picked Jocelyn. of course, in order to do what the bishop wants of him, Jocelyn has to be made a priest, which means he cannot marry Laurence. with this in mind, he initially begs the bishop to not force him to do this, basically saying that he is unworthy of this and that (direct quote from the libretto) “my soul belongs to my God, my heart to my faith, but my profane days are no longer mine...and God does not require that I sacrifice to Him two deaths in one death, two hearts in one life...for I love!” The bishop becomes severely PO’d about this and eventually declares that Jocelyn is no longer a man of the cloth or even a Christian at all, and Jocelyn is so upset that the poor bud decides to take holy orders that very night and asks God to protect Laurence since he cannot. the next morning, at the execution, Jocelyn carries out his priestly duties and absolves and blesses the bishop. the bishop is then executed.

Laurence is still in the cave waiting for Jocelyn to come back and for obvious reasons she’s getting worried. enter Jocelyn’s mother, who tells Laurence that Jocelyn has become a priest. Laurence is like “you’re fucking lying to me he promised we’d run away and get married”, but Jocelyn himself comes in and is like “honey I love you and I’m really sorry but a lot of shit happened and long story short I’m a priest now and I can never see you again” (and there’s this one really baller line which, verbatim, translates to: “to offer this frightful sacrifice to God, I have drunk your blood and mine in my first chalice!” which...okay, buddy). angst ensues and Laurence kicks Jocelyn and his mother out.

two years pass until Jocelyn and Laurence’s paths cross again for only a moment in time: Jocelyn is now a priest in Paris, walking alone in the street one night when he hears the sounds of a hedonistic ball in a hotel. Laurence appears on the hotel balcony and sings of her love for Jocelyn and her general unhappiness. Jocelyn is torn and seriously contemplates reuniting with her, renouncing his vows, and running off together, but when he hears the church bells calling him to prayer, he chickens out and leaves. Laurence never sees him.

some time later, Laurence feels that she is about to die. it is also the Feast of Corpus Christi. with all this in mind, she sends a servant to find Jocelyn and bring him to her and then, alone, begs God to have mercy on her soul and not separate her in eternity from Jocelyn. Jocelyn comes in and initially doesn’t recognize Laurence, but after some time he does and the two reunite at last. there is precious little talk of love in their last moments, however, for Laurence is fading fast. Jocelyn promises to take all the love, grief, and remorse they share upon himself in order to atone for it all and gives Laurence absolution. Laurence dies and as a chorus sings hymns outside, Jocelyn simply asks: “Angels of the Almighty God, cover her with your wings.” the end!

I mean, it’s that kind of sweet tragedy I just can’t get enough of. Jocelyn is a Good Tenor par excellence whose troubles all stem from just trying to help people—while I know basically nothing about the vocal writing beyond what I can gather from the vocal-piano score, I think Benjamin Bernheim would be a phenomenal fit in every way. idk who to play Laurence or any of the other roles, but there are surely people who can.

anyway, that’s your unsolicited French Opera Infodump of the day.
