Kuando El Rey, from Sephardic Journey - Apollo's Fire (CD release concert) - 2/9

Cuando El Rey Ni**od.
A song a of the Sephardic Jews: the Jewish people of the Iberian Peninsula (al-Andalus) of Spain, who flourished alongside the Christians and Muslims from around 800 - 1492 A. D. Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain put an end to the relative harmony of the “Tres Culturas” with the Alhambra Decree.
Excellent arrangement, sung in Ladino - the language of the Sephardim.

Cuando el rey Ni**od al campo salía,
When King Ni**od went into the fields,
Mirava en el cielo y en la estrellería,
He looked at the heavens and at all the stars,
Vido una luz santa en la judería,
He saw a holy light above the Jewish quarter
Que havía de nacer Avraham Avinu.
A sign that Abraham our father was about to be born.


Avraham avinu, padre querido,
Abraham our patriarch, dear father,
Padre bendicho, luz de Israel.
Blessed father, light of Israel.

“Bach’s Great B-Minor Mass was never performed in it’s entirety during Bach’s lifetime. Completed less than one year before the composer’s death, this work was meant to represent a summation the composer’s art in Sacred vocal / choral writing. In it we experience everything from the sublime depths of sorrow to the pinnacle of unrestrained joy!”

Happy 265th Birthday to Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart, better known as Wolfgang Amedeus Mozart. Amedeus is the Latin Equivalent to the Greek-rooted Theophilus - which means “Friend of God.” Artwork by McFalls, from my 1990 t-shirt design. I wanted to depict here, Mozart as the Child Prodigy, playing an instrument that he is not normally associated with, but that he played with great proficiency. The name of the design is called “Wolfgango Wunderkind”, and it’s filed in the Library of Congress.

3. Vivaldi The Four Seasons, Autumn RV 293 Fabio Biondi Europa Galante.wmv

Welcome Autumn!
Vivaldi: Concerto Op. 8 No. 3 in F Major “Autumn”
Allegro
The peasant celebrates with song and dance the harvest safely gathered in.
The cup of Bacchus flows freely, and many find their relief in deep slumber.

Adagio molto
The singing and the dancing die away
as cooling breezes fan the pleasant air,
inviting all to sleep
without a care.

Allegro
The hunters emerge at dawn,
ready for the chase,
with horns and dogs and cries.
Their quarry flees while they give chase.
Terrified and wounded, the prey struggles on,
but, harried, dies.

Biondi: L’Europa Galante

RIP, Julian Bream (1933 - 2020)
Bream's discovery of the lute and its repertoire in the early 1950s resulted in a lifelong devotion to the instrument, explored not just in solo repertoire but, for example, in his duo partnership with the tenor Peter Pears and via his own Julian Bream Consort.

Medieval Music * In Gedeonis Area by New London Consort

Carmina Burana: In Gedeonis Area
In Gedeonis area
vellus aret extentum,
et demolitur tinea
regale vestimentum,
superhabundat palea,
que sepelit frumentum,
et loquitur iumentum,
nec redit bos ad horrea,
sed sequitur carpentum.

Exit rumor discriminis
de Grandimontis cella,
que tam sancte dulcedinis
late fundebat mella;
preposteratur ordinis
plantatio novella,
dum movet in se bella,
bases in summo culminis
ponens, non capitella.

Quod sanctum sacerdotium,
quod unctio regalis
se curvet ad imperium
et vocem subiugalis,
humanum est mysterium
et furor laicalis.
favor tamen venalis,
qui non intrant per ostium,
fovet eos sub alis.

Clausa quondam religio
vel otium secretum
nunc subiacet opprobrio
per vulgus indiscretum,
quod tali tirocinio
non erat assuetum;
et, quod format, decretum
non legis patrocinio
nec litteris est fretum.

Sub brevi doctus tempore
stultus dum incappatur,
pleno prophetat pectore,
ructans interpretatur
et disputat cm rhetore,
qui tacet et miratur,
quod vir iustus tollattur
et assumptus de stercore
sententias loquatur.

Ve, ve, qui regis filiam
das in manu lenonis!
ve, qui profanas gloriam
tante devotionis,
qui cellam pigmentariam
et opus Salomonis
fraude rapis predonis,
si certius inspiciam
ad rem condicionis.
