Last line of Nel cor più non mi sento

by

I go back to this video now and again. It’s interesting to hear talented musicians like Brett and Eddy talk about the talent of Ziyu, as if he’s on another level. The video shows the sheet music as Eddy plays (obligatory “Look at all those little black dots“) but at the end of the video, the last sheet music updates seem to stall and the two meaures seem to be missing (around 27:02).

But there’s another Youtube channel that has it. It’s interesting to hear the differences between the two.

Composers Conduct Their Music

Aaron Copland again. But wanted to highlight “Simple Gifts” and the use of the song in the Bluey episode called “Relax“. You’re probably looking for 18:35 with the first introduction of the recognizable line.

Composers Conduct Their Music

by

Igor Stravinsky, with an intro from Leonard Bernstein. You’re probably looking for 9:54 in the vid for the French horn solo.

Ohtani

I promise the next post won’t be Ohtani-related … unless he tops this game in the WS.

Temptations vs Smokey

by

I ended up going down a rabbit hole of Temptation songs and ended up at https://www.smoothradio.com/features/top-songs/temptations-songs-best-ranked/. I didn’t recognize You’re My Everything and when 0:44 hit, I KNEW I heard this triplet before:

And it was Tracks of My Tears from Smokey Robinson and the Miracles I was thinking of:

I’d like to think that both the Temptations and Smokey shared musical ideas during this time in the mid-60s and influenced one another. Or maybe this is a generic phrase. Anyway, Motown during that time – what a time to be alive.
