drift along slowly on swampy lands, tempo rubato
I’ve recorded hours of improvisation and apparently, rain makes it all sound somewhat good.
I’ll dig in further soon.
Same patterns and subjects for this session. Kinda shitty, but the rainnnn…

Yay~ finally working on this piece.
Been waiting for so long…
First broadcast of “Asterix and Cleopâtre” was in 1968.
In this movie, Asterix and Obelix (the two main characters) visit Egypt to meet with Cleopatra. In this scene Amonbofis (who has been hired to kill them) is preparing a cake to offer to Cleopatra claiming it was made by the two Gauls, so that they get sentenced to death for trying to poison her. Here’s the recipe for the cake they’re baking.
Looking around my folders I found two modern interpretations of Franz Schubert‘s Ellens dritter Gesang (Ellens Gesang III, D839, Op 52 no 6, 1825). Yeah, that famous lied.
Looks like Liszt wrote his version of the piece too. Scary.
[audio:Jesper_Kyd_-_Ave_Maria.mp3|titles=Ave Maria / Ellens dritter gesang|artists=Jesper Kyd]
Jesper Kyd’s arranged version. This one following Schubert’s original composition for keyboard). Vocal: unknown. (2006)
[audio:yoko_kanno_Ave_Maria.mp3|titles=Ave Maria|artists=Yoko Kanno]
An inspired version by Yoko Kanno’s, performed by the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Anthony Inglis. Vocal: Jerzy Kneting. (1999) Some rhythmic patterns look more or less similar between the two versions.
None but the lonely heart
Нет, толко тот, кто знал
Net, tolko tot, kto znal
Music by Piotr Ilyitch Tchaikovsky, Romance Op. 6 n°6, 1869. (and original german lyrics by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)
Нет, только тот, кто знал свиданья, жажду,
Net, tol’ko tot, kto znal svidan’ja, zhazhdu,
поймёт, как я страдал и как я стражду.
pojmjot, kak ja stradal i kak ja strazhdu.
Гляжу я вдаль… нет сил, тускнеет око…
Gljazhu ja vdal’… net sil, tusknejet oko…
Ах, кто меня любил и знал – далеко!
Akh, kto menja ljubil i znal – daleko!
Ах, только тот, кто знал свиданья жажду,
Akh, tol’ko tot, kto znal svidan’ja zhazhdu,
поймёт, как я страдал и как я стражду.
pojmjot, kak ja stradal i kak ja strazhdu.
Вся грудь горит…
Vsja grud’ gorit…
кто знал свиданья, жажду,
Kto znal svidan’ja zhazhdu,
поймёт, как я страдал и как я стражду.
pojmjot, kak ja stradal i kak ja strazhdu.
Lev Aleksandrovich Mei’s Russian translation:
Net, tol’ko tot, kto znal svidan’ja, zhazhdu,
pojmjot, kak ja stradal i kak ja strazhdu.
Gljazhu ja vdal’… net sil, tusknejet oko…
Akh, kto menja ljubil i znal – daleko!
Akh, tol’ko tot, kto znal svidan’ja zhazhdu,
pojmjot, kak ja stradal i kak ja strazhdu.
Vsja grud’ gorit…
Kto znal svidan’ja zhazhdu,
pojmjot, kak ja stradal i kak ja strazhdu.
Нет, только тот, кто знал свиданья, жажду,
поймёт, как я страдал и как я стражду.
Гляжу я вдаль… нет сил, тускнеет око…
Ах, кто меня любил и знал – далеко!
Ах, только тот, кто знал свиданья жажду,
поймёт, как я страдал и как я стражду.
Вся грудь горит…
кто знал свиданья, жажду,
поймёт, как я страдал и как я стражду.
An English translation:
None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness
Alone and parted
Far from joy and gladness
Heaven’s boundless arch I see
Spread out above me
Oh what a distance drear to one
Who loves me
None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness
Alone and parted
Far from joy and gladness
Alone and parted far
From joy and gladness
My senses fail
A burning fire
Devours me
None but the lonely heart
Can know my sadness

My favourite TV “show” so far (it’s been for a few years now though).
Here is the special episode which aired in december 2001 (I think). Hell of fun.
As I’ve been studying this piece lately, I stumbled upon this video of Uehara Hiromi playing Aufschwung (lit. “Soaring”) by Robert Schumann. Very difficult piece, especially the middle part.
Not sure why it’s named “None but the only heart” while the english title is usually “None but the only know”.
Here’s the score from the original Pyotr Tchaikovsky arrangement.
Soprano: Junko Nishi
Composer: P.I. Tchaikovsky
Arranger: Katsuro Tajima (田島勝朗)
