http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATC44nm04UY&fmt=18

 

La Lira d'Espéria, 1996
http://www.jordisavall.es/

The instrument is an atypical form of ancient rebec (rebab) from the Orient and probably dating from the end of the 14th century.

The piece "ductia" is a recreation of a cantiga de Santa Maria (Alfonso X el Savio, 13th century)

"What we propose here is an attempt to recreate a certain art of sounding the bow during that medieval period... It is not intended to be either a hypothetical historical reconstruction of a concert of that time or a musicological study of facts that cannot be known with absolute certainity." Jordi Savall

*"A Musical Joke" is a composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart; the composer entered it in his Verzeichnis aller meiner Werke ('Catalogue of all my Works') on June 14, 1787. The music is intentionally written to be funny, being liberally sprinkled with obtrusively clumsy, mechanical and over-repetitive composition, together with passages evidently designed to mimic the effects of inaccurate notation and inept performance. Commentators have opined that the piece's purpose is satirical -- that "[its] harmonic and rhythmic gaffes serve to parody the work of incompetent composers" -- though Mozart himself is not known to have revealed his actual intentions.

The piece consists of four movements, using forms shared with many other classical divertimenti. Nevertheless, the music has potential to appeal to the average audience of that time as a comedy, including:
1. Use of asymmetrical phrasing, or not phrasing by four measure groups, at the beginning of the first movement, which is very uncommon for the classical period.

2. Use of secondary dominants where subdominant chords are just fair.

3. The use of discords in the French horns, satirizing the incompetence of the copyist, or the hornist grabbing the wrong crook.

4. Use of a whole tone scale in the violinist's high register, probably in order to imitate the player's floundering at the high positions.

The piece is also notable for the earliest known use of polytonality, creating the gesture of complete collapse with which the finale ends. This may be intended to produce the impression of grossly out-of-tune string playing, since the horns alone conclude in the movement's tonic key: the lower strings behave as if the tonic has suddenly become B flat, while the violins and violas switch to G major, A major and E flat major respectively.

Some theorists believe that A Musical Joke is a parody of works by clumsy composers of Mozart's time. With such an assumption, one would find some points of the score hilarious, such as the more elementary developments of the theme, where the poor composer might feel the agony that he/she had to proceed with the development. Other theorists disagree with that view, saying that perhaps Mozart used parody and comedy as an excuse to try things that at the time were not in practice; the piece would then be intended in a more serious tone than so advertised but only for the composer himself.

The use of asymmetrical phrasing, whole-tone scales, and multitonality is quite foreign to music of the classical era. However, these techniques were later revisited by early 20th century composers like Claude Debussy and Igor Stravinsky, who were searching for a new musical language. In this later context, these conventions were seen as legitimate new techniques in serious music. In Mozart's time, however, these non-classical elements gives the piece its comedy and perfectly expresses the composer's sense of musical humor.

Remarkably, A Musical Joke is the first piece entered in Mozart's list of works following the death of his father Leopold on May 28th.

Lyrics

Solo
    Dear Land of Hope, thy hope is crowned,
       God make thee mightier yet !
    On Sov'ran brows, beloved, renowned,
       Once more thy crown is set.
   Thine equal laws, by Freedom gained,
       Have ruled thee well and long ;
   By Freedom gained, by Truth maintained,
       Thine Empire shall be strong.

Chorus
            Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free,
            How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
            Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set;
            God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet,
            God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet.

Solo
    Thy fame is ancient as the days,
       As Ocean large and wide :
    A pride that dares, and heeds not praise,
       A stern and silent pride ;
    Not that false joy that dreams content
       With what our sires have won ;
    The blood a hero sire hath spent
       Still nerves a hero son.

Chorus

Sir Charles Santley - Simon the Cellarer (1903)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0bEKtKOokU&hd=1

One of the most celebrated Baritone of the 19th century, Sir Charles Santley (1834.2.28 ~ 1922.9.22) sings his signature song "Simon the Cellarer" for G&T in 1903. He made five recordings for G&T in 1903, and he also made about 8 or 9 records for Columbia in 1911 and 1913 (he was in his 80s!), and you can find one of those Columbia on YT.

Santley taught some of the most important and famous singers of the early 20th century, and his pupils included Clara Butt, Peter Dawson, Emma Albani, etc. He is also the OLDEST RECORDED OPERATIC SINGER who was ever recorded. It is hard to believe to hear someone who was born 180 years ago.

Speaking about his vocal style; it is quite unique, nothing like some later singers who sang at this period. But anyway, his vocal 'power' is still fine - no mistake, no breathlessness, no physical fatique - , despite the fact he was 69 years old when he recorded this.
