Gilles seems to have had an excellent musical education, probably at either Kortrijk or &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruges" title="Bruges"&gt;Bruges&lt;/a&gt;, where he was hired as a singer in 1449. Documents from the cathedral archives show that he was often in trouble: engaging in street brawls, frequenting brothels, refusing to take part in regular singing events, and in particular visiting a notorious prostitute of the town named "Rosabelle". In spite of these activities, he was made a priest, and became a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_%28fiction%29" title="Canon (fiction)"&gt;canon&lt;/a&gt; at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleves" title="Cleves" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Cleves&lt;/a&gt; in 1453 and at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Saint_Donatian&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Saint Donatian (page does not exist)"&gt;St. Donatian&lt;/a&gt; in 1459.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Between 1454 and 1459 no record of his activities survives in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_Countries" title="Low Countries"&gt;Low Countries&lt;/a&gt;; based on his composition of an Italian &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballata" title="Ballata"&gt;ballata&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; on a poem by a contemporary &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence" title="Florence"&gt;Florentine&lt;/a&gt;, it has been suggested that he spent some time in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy" title="Italy"&gt;Italy&lt;/a&gt;, as did so many other Franco-Flemish composers of his and succeeding generations. By 1459 he was back at St. Donatian in Bruges.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 1462 he was hired as a singer by the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burgundians" title="Burgundians"&gt;Burgundian&lt;/a&gt; court chapel, a position he retained officially until 1471, although he had ceased to perform his duties in 1468. Between 1465 and 1473 he was also a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rector" title="Rector"&gt;rector&lt;/a&gt; at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delft" title="Delft"&gt;Delft&lt;/a&gt;. After 1471 he most likely returned to St. Donatian. He died in Bruges, and was buried in the church of St. Donatian.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A portrait of Joye has survived, possibly painted by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Memling" title="Hans Memling"&gt;Hans Memling&lt;/a&gt; in 1472. Currently it is in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterling_and_Francine_Clark_Art_Institute" title="Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williamstown,_Massachusetts" title="Williamstown, Massachusetts"&gt;Williamstown, Massachusetts&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="Music" id="Music"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;All of Joye's surviving music is vocal and secular, and for three voices only. Four of his works are &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rondeau_%28music%29" title="Rondeau (music)"&gt;rondeaux&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, in French (though the text for one rondeau is lost), and one is an Italian &lt;i&gt;ballata&lt;/i&gt;, probably written between 1454 and 1459 when he may have been in Italy. Joye's songs are typical of the Burgundian secular music of the period; they are melodic, clear, and lyrical in style. One of them, &lt;i&gt;Ce qu'on fait&lt;/i&gt;, is frankly obscene. No sacred music is known for certain to have been written by Joye, but two anonymous &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_%28music%29" title="Mass (music)"&gt;masses&lt;/a&gt; based on the contemporary lyric &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_rosa_bella" title="O rosa bella" class="mw-redirect"&gt;O rosa bella&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; have been attributed to Joye for stylistic reasons; in addition, the similarity of &lt;i&gt;O rosa bella&lt;/i&gt; to the name of his favorite prostitute, along with the general irreverent character evident in his life and other work, may support this hypothesis.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Joye is one of the composers mentioned in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Guillaume_Cr%C3%A9tin&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Guillaume Crétin (page does not exist)"&gt;Guillaume Crétin&lt;/a&gt;'s famous poem &lt;i&gt;Déploration sur le trépas de Jean Ockeghem&lt;/i&gt; written on the death of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Ockeghem" title="Johannes Ockeghem"&gt;Johannes Ockeghem&lt;/a&gt; in 1497; in it he is one of the angels welcoming Ockeghem into &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaven" title="Heaven"&gt;Heaven&lt;/a&gt;. The composers mentioned by Crétin have long been used as a list of those considered most famous in the late 15th century, thus indicating Joye's reputation, in spite of the small number of his works which have survived.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671310067379384319-4740626393045753897?l=death11193.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://death11193.blogspot.com/feeds/4740626393045753897/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3671310067379384319&amp;postID=4740626393045753897' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671310067379384319/posts/default/4740626393045753897'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671310067379384319/posts/default/4740626393045753897'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://death11193.blogspot.com/2008/11/renaissance.html' title='Renaissance'/><author><name>Mr. LoneLy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11826565615052816160</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pDlKb8-puHU/SLT0V9WdtCI/AAAAAAAAAAM/JPBKshMSKcM/S220/2421812157_5d86ebfb4b_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671310067379384319.post-6557346385383834232</id><published>2008-11-02T04:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-02T04:15:08.483-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;h1 class="firstHeading"&gt;Orlando Gibbons&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;!-- start content --&gt;    &lt;div class="thumb tright"&gt; &lt;div class="thumbinner" style="width: 182px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Orlando_Gibbons.jpg" class="image" title="Orlando Gibbons"&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9e/Orlando_Gibbons.jpg/180px-Orlando_Gibbons.jpg" class="thumbimage" width="180" border="0" height="272" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div class="thumbcaption"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Orlando Gibbons&lt;/b&gt; (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baptism" title="Baptism"&gt;baptised&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_25" title="December 25"&gt;25 December&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1583" title="1583"&gt;1583&lt;/a&gt; – &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_5" title="June 5"&gt;5 June&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1625" title="1625"&gt;1625&lt;/a&gt;) was an &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England" title="England"&gt;English&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composer" title="Composer"&gt;composer&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organist" title="Organist"&gt;organist&lt;/a&gt; of the late &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tudor_period" title="Tudor period"&gt;Tudor&lt;/a&gt; and early &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobean_era" title="Jacobean era"&gt;Jacobean periods&lt;/a&gt;. He was a leading composer in the England of his day.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Gibbons was born in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford" title="Oxford"&gt;Oxford&lt;/a&gt;. Between 1596 and 1598 he sang in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choir_of_King%27s_College,_Cambridge" title="Choir of King's College, Cambridge"&gt;Choir of King's College, Cambridge&lt;/a&gt;, where his brother was master of the choristers; he entered the university in 1598 and achieved the degree of Bachelor of Music in 1606. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_I_of_England" title="James I of England"&gt;James I&lt;/a&gt; appointed him a Gentleman of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapel_Royal" title="Chapel Royal"&gt;Chapel Royal&lt;/a&gt;, where he served as an organist from at least 1615 until his death. In 1625 he became senior organist at the Chapel Royal, with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Tomkins" title="Thomas Tomkins"&gt;Thomas Tomkins&lt;/a&gt; as junior organist. He also held positions as keyboard player in the privy chamber of the court of Prince Charles (later &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_I_of_England" title="Charles I of England"&gt;King Charles I&lt;/a&gt;), and organist at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westminster_Abbey" title="Westminster Abbey"&gt;Westminster Abbey&lt;/a&gt;. He died at age 41 in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canterbury" title="Canterbury"&gt;Canterbury&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apoplexy" title="Apoplexy"&gt;apoplexy&lt;/a&gt;, and a monument to him was built in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canterbury_Cathedral" title="Canterbury Cathedral"&gt;Canterbury Cathedral&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;One of the most versatile English composers of his time, Gibbons wrote a quantity of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_instrument" title="Keyboard instrument"&gt;keyboard&lt;/a&gt; works, around thirty &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasia_%28music%29" title="Fantasia (music)"&gt;fantasias&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viol" title="Viol"&gt;viols&lt;/a&gt;, a number of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madrigal_%28music%29" title="Madrigal (music)"&gt;madrigals&lt;/a&gt; (the best-known being &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Swan_%28music%29" title="Silver Swan (music)"&gt;The Silver Swan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;), and many popular &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verse_anthem" title="Verse anthem"&gt;verse anthems&lt;/a&gt;. His choral music is distinguished by his complete mastery of counterpoint, combined with his wonderful gift for melody. Perhaps his most well-known verse anthem is '&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Record_of_John" title="The Record of John"&gt;This is the record of John&lt;/a&gt;', which sets an Advent text for solo &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countertenor" title="Countertenor"&gt;countertenor&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenor" title="Tenor"&gt;tenor&lt;/a&gt;, alternating with full chorus. The soloist is required to demonstrate considerable technical facility at points, and the work at once expresses the rhetorical force of the text, whilst never being demonstrative or bombastic. He also produced two major settings of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evening_Prayer_%28Anglican%29" title="Evening Prayer (Anglican)"&gt;Evensong&lt;/a&gt;, the Second, and the 'Short' service. The former is an extended composition, combining verse and full sections, and the latter possesses a beautifully expressive &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nunc_Dimittis" title="Nunc Dimittis" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Nunc Dimittis&lt;/a&gt;. Gibbons' full anthems include the expressive 'O Lord in thy wrath', and the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Sunday" title="Palm Sunday"&gt;Palm Sunday&lt;/a&gt; setting of 'O clap your hands together' for 8 voices. He contributed six pieces to the first printed collection of music in England, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenia_%28music%29" title="Parthenia (music)"&gt;Parthenia&lt;/a&gt; (of which he was by far the youngest of the three contributors), published circa 1611.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Gibbons was the "favorite composer" of the Canadian pianist &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Gould" title="Glenn Gould"&gt;Glenn Gould&lt;/a&gt;. "Ever since my teen-age years his music has moved me more deeply than any other sound experience I can think of."

Scholars dispute both the year and country of his birth, although most now accept it taking place in 1637 in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helsingborg" title="Helsingborg"&gt;Helsingborg&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sk%C3%A5ne" title="Skåne" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Skåne&lt;/a&gt;, at the time part of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark" title="Denmark"&gt;Denmark&lt;/a&gt; (but now part of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden" title="Sweden"&gt;Sweden&lt;/a&gt;). His obituary stated that "he recognized Denmark as his native country, whence he came to our region; he lived about 70 years".&lt;sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dieterich_Buxtehude#cite_note-2" title=""&gt;[3]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; Others, however, claim that he was born at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Oldesloe" title="Bad Oldesloe"&gt;Oldesloe&lt;/a&gt; in the Duchy of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holstein" title="Holstein"&gt;Holstein&lt;/a&gt;, which at that time was a part of the Danish Monarchy (but is now in Germany). Later in his life he Germanized his name and began signing documents Dieterich Buxtehude.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="L.C3.BCbeck:_Marienkirche" id="L.C3.BCbeck:_Marienkirche"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;He was an organist, first in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helsingborg" title="Helsingborg"&gt;Helsingborg&lt;/a&gt; (1657-1658), then at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsinore" title="Elsinore" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Elsinore&lt;/a&gt; (Helsingør) (1660-1668), and last from 1668 at the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marienkirche,_L%C3%BCbeck" title="Marienkirche, Lübeck" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Marienkirche&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%BCbeck" title="Lübeck"&gt;Lübeck&lt;/a&gt;, where he succeeded &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Tunder" title="Franz Tunder"&gt;Franz Tunder&lt;/a&gt; and married Tunder's daughter Anna Margarethe (1668). His post in the free Imperial city of Lübeck afforded him considerable latitude in his musical career and his autonomy was a model for the careers of later Baroque masters such as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Frideric_Handel" title="George Frideric Handel"&gt;George Frideric Handel&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Mattheson" title="Johann Mattheson"&gt;Johann Mattheson&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_Philipp_Telemann" title="Georg Philipp Telemann"&gt;Georg Philipp Telemann&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Sebastian_Bach" title="Johann Sebastian Bach"&gt;Johann Sebastian Bach&lt;/a&gt;. In 1673 he reorganized a series of evening musical performances, initiated by Tunder, known as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abendmusik" title="Abendmusik"&gt;Abendmusik&lt;/a&gt;, which attracted musicians from diverse parts and remained a feature of the church until 1810. In 1703, Handel and Mattheson both traveled to meet Buxtehude. Buxtehude was old, and ready to retire, by the time he met them. He offered his position in Lübeck to Handel and Mattheson but stipulated that the organist who ascended to it must marry his eldest daughter, Anna Margareta. Both Handel and Mattheson turned the offer down and left the day after their arrival. In 1705, J.S. Bach, then a young man twenty years old, walked from &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnstadt" title="Arnstadt"&gt;Arnstadt&lt;/a&gt; to Lübeck, a distance of more than 400 kilometers (250 US miles), and stayed nearly three months to hear the Abendmusik, meet the pre-eminent Lübeck organist, hear him play, and as Bach explained "to comprehend one thing and another about his art."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671310067379384319-4567224056862101688?l=death11193.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://death11193.blogspot.com/feeds/4567224056862101688/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3671310067379384319&amp;postID=4567224056862101688' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671310067379384319/posts/default/4567224056862101688'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671310067379384319/posts/default/4567224056862101688'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://death11193.blogspot.com/2008/11/baroque.html' title='Baroque'/><author><name>Mr. LoneLy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11826565615052816160</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pDlKb8-puHU/SLT0V9WdtCI/AAAAAAAAAAM/JPBKshMSKcM/S220/2421812157_5d86ebfb4b_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671310067379384319.post-7986373536836033478</id><published>2008-11-02T04:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-02T04:10:51.458-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Corelli.jpg" class="image" title="Arcangelo Corelli."&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/Corelli.jpg/200px-Corelli.jpg" class="thumbimage" width="200" border="0" height="293" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;   &lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;Biography&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Arcangelo Corelli was born at &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusignano" title="Fusignano"&gt;Fusignano&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romagna" title="Romagna"&gt;Romagna&lt;/a&gt;, in the current-day province of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravenna" title="Ravenna"&gt;Ravenna&lt;/a&gt;. Little is known about his early life. His master on the violin was Giovanni Battista Bassani. Matteo Simonelli, the well-known singer of the pope’s chapel, taught him composition.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;His first major success was gained in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris" title="Paris"&gt;Paris&lt;/a&gt; at the age of nineteen, and to this he owed his European reputation. From Paris, Corelli went to Germany. In 1681 he was in the service of the electoral prince of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bavaria" title="Bavaria"&gt;Bavaria&lt;/a&gt;; b&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;etween 1680 and 16&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;85 he spent a considerable time in the house of his friend and fellow violinist-composer &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cristiano_Farinelli" title="Cristiano Farinelli"&gt;Cristiano Farinelli&lt;/a&gt; (believed to be the uncle of the celebrated castrato &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farinelli" title="Farinelli"&gt;Farinelli&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 1685 Corelli was in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome" title="Rome"&gt;Rome&lt;/a&gt;, where he led the festival performances of music for Queen &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina_of_Sweden" title="Christina of Sweden"&gt;Christina of Sweden&lt;/a&gt; and he was also a favorite of Cardinal &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pietro_Ottoboni" title="Pietro Ottoboni" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Pietro Ottoboni&lt;/a&gt;, grand-nephew of another Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni who in 1689 became &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Alexander_VIII" title="Pope Alexander VIII"&gt;Pope Alexander VIII&lt;/a&gt;. From 1689 to 1690 he was in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modena" title="Modena"&gt;Modena&lt;/a&gt;; the Duke of Modena was generous to him. In 1708 he returned to Rome, living in the palace of Cardinal Ottoboni. His visit to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naples" title="Naples"&gt;Naples&lt;/a&gt;, at the invitation of the king, took place in the same year.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The style of execution introduced by Corelli and preserved by his pupils, such as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesco_Geminiani" title="Francesco Geminiani"&gt;Francesco Geminiani&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pietro_Locatelli" title="Pietro Locatelli"&gt;Pietro Locatelli&lt;/a&gt;, and many others, was of vital importance for the development of violin playing. It has been said that the paths of all of the famous violinist-composers of 18th-century Italy lead to Arcangelo Corelli who was their "iconic point of reference." (Toussaint Loviko, in the program notes to &lt;i&gt;Italian Violin Concertos&lt;/i&gt;, Veritas, 2003)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="thumb tleft"&gt; &lt;div class="thumbinner" style="width: 202px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Corelli.jpg" class="image" title="Arcangelo Corelli."&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div class="thumbcaption"&gt; &lt;div class="magnify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Corelli.jpg" class="internal" title="Enlarge"&gt;&lt;img src="http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/common/images/magnify-clip.png" alt="" width="15" height="11" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; Arcangelo Corelli.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;However, Corelli used only a limited portion of his instrument's capabilities. This may be seen from his writings; the parts for violin very rarely proceed above D on the highest string, sometimes reaching the E in fourth position on the highest string. The story has been told and retold that Corelli refused to play a passage which extended to A in altissimo in the overture to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handel" title="Handel" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Handel&lt;/a&gt;’s &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oratorio" title="Oratorio"&gt;oratorio&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Il_Trionfo_del_Tempo_e_Disinganno" title="Il Trionfo del Tempo e Disinganno" class="mw-redirect"&gt;il Trionfo del Tempo e Disinganno&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; (premiered in Rome, 1708), and took serious offense when the composer played the note.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Nevertheless, his compositions for the instrument mark an epoch in the history of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamber_music" title="Chamber music"&gt;chamber music&lt;/a&gt;. His influence was not confined to his own country. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Sebastian_Bach" title="Johann Sebastian Bach"&gt;Johann Sebastian Bach&lt;/a&gt; studied the works of Corelli and based an organ fugue (BWV 579) on Corelli's Opus 3 of 1689.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Musical society in Rome also owed much to Corelli. He was received in the highest circles of the aristocracy, and for a long time presided at the celebrated Monday concerts in the palace of Cardinal Ottoboni.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Corelli died in possession of a fortune of 120,000 marks and a valuable collection of pictures, the only luxury in which he had indulged. He left both to his benefactor and friend, who generously made over the money to Corelli's relatives. Corelli is buried in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheon,_Rome" title="Pantheon, Rome"&gt;Pantheon at Rome&lt;/a&gt;. One can still trace back many generations of violinists from student to teacher to Corelli.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;His compositions are distinguished by a beautiful flow of melody and by a mannerly treatment of the accompanying parts, which he is justly said to have liberated from the strict rules of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterpoint" title="Counterpoint"&gt;counterpoint&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;His &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_concerti_grossi,_op.6_%28Corelli%29" title="Twelve concerti grossi, op.6 (Corelli)"&gt;concerti grossi&lt;/a&gt; have often been popular in Western culture. For example, a portion of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_Concerto" title="Christmas Concerto" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Christmas Concerto&lt;/a&gt;, op.6 no.8, is in the soundtrack of the film &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_and_Commander:_The_Far_Side_of_the_World" title="Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World"&gt;Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;. He is also referred to frequently in the novel &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_Corelli%27s_Mandolin" title="Captain Corelli's Mandolin" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Captain Corelli's Mandolin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671310067379384319-7986373536836033478?l=death11193.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://death11193.blogspot.com/feeds/7986373536836033478/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3671310067379384319&amp;postID=7986373536836033478' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671310067379384319/posts/default/7986373536836033478'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671310067379384319/posts/default/7986373536836033478'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://death11193.blogspot.com/2008/11/biography-arcangelo-corelli-was-born-at.html' title=''/><author><name>Mr. LoneLy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11826565615052816160</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pDlKb8-puHU/SLT0V9WdtCI/AAAAAAAAAAM/JPBKshMSKcM/S220/2421812157_5d86ebfb4b_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671310067379384319.post-6180267675726832243</id><published>2008-10-29T05:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-29T05:18:37.467-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Romantic era</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bruckner_circa_1860.jpg" class="image" title="Bruckner, circa 1860"&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/53/Bruckner_circa_1860.jpg/170px-Bruckner_circa_1860.jpg" class="thumbimage" width="170" border="0" height="223" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;Biography&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;Anton Bruckner was born in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansfelden" title="Ansfelden"&gt;Ansfelden&lt;/a&gt; on September 4, 1824. His father, a schoolmaster and organist, was his first music teacher. He died when Anton was 13 years old. Bruckner worked for a few years as a teacher's assistant, fiddling at village dances at night to supplement his income. He studied at the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustinian" title="Augustinian" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Augustinian&lt;/a&gt; monastery in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Florian,_Austria" title="Saint Florian, Austria" class="mw-redirect"&gt;St. Florian&lt;/a&gt;, becoming an organist there in 1851. In 1855, he took up a counterpoint course with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Sechter" title="Simon Sechter"&gt;Simon Sechter&lt;/a&gt;. He later studied with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Otto_Kitzler&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Otto Kitzler (page does not exist)"&gt;Otto Kitzler&lt;/a&gt;, who introduced him to the music of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Wagner" title="Richard Wagner"&gt;Richard Wagner&lt;/a&gt;, which Bruckner studied extensively from 1863 onwards. Bruckner continued his studies to the age of 40. Bruckner's genius, unlike that of a child prodigy (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Amadeus_Mozart" title="Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart"&gt;Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart&lt;/a&gt;, for example), did not appear until well into the fourth decade of his life. Furthermore, broad fame and acceptance did not come until he was over 60. A devout &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Church" title="Roman Catholic Church"&gt;Catholic&lt;/a&gt; who loved to drink beer, Bruckner was out of step with his contemporaries. He had already in 1861 made acquaintance with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Liszt" title="Franz Liszt"&gt;Liszt&lt;/a&gt; who, like Bruckner, had a strong religious faith and who first and foremost was a harmonic innovator, initiating the new German school together with Wagner. Soon after Bruckner had ended his studies under Sechter and Kitzler, he wrote his first mature work, the Mass in D Minor.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="thumb tleft"&gt; &lt;div class="thumbinner" style="width: 172px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bruckner_circa_1860.jpg" class="image" title="Bruckner, circa 1860"&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div class="thumbcaption"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 1868, after Sechter had died, Bruckner hesitantly accepted Sechter's post as a teacher of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_theory" title="Music theory"&gt;music theory&lt;/a&gt; at the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Music_and_Performing_Arts,_Vienna" title="University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna"&gt;Vienna Conservatory&lt;/a&gt;, during which time he concentrated most of his energy on writing symphonies. These symphonies, however, were poorly received, at times considered "wild" and "nonsensical". He later accepted a post at the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Vienna" title="University of Vienna"&gt;Vienna University&lt;/a&gt; in 1875, where he tried to make music theory a part of the curriculum. Overall, he was unhappy in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vienna" title="Vienna"&gt;Vienna&lt;/a&gt;, which was musically dominated by the critic &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduard_Hanslick" title="Eduard Hanslick"&gt;Eduard Hanslick&lt;/a&gt;. At the time there was a feud between advocates of the music of Wagner and Brahms; by aligning himself with Wagner, however, Bruckner made an unintentional enemy out of Hanslick. However, he was not without supporters; &lt;i&gt;Deutsche Zeitung'&lt;/i&gt;s music critic &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Helm" title="Theodor Helm"&gt;Theodor Helm&lt;/a&gt;, and famous conductors such as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Nikisch" title="Arthur Nikisch"&gt;Arthur Nikisch&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Schalk" title="Franz Schalk"&gt;Franz Schalk&lt;/a&gt; constantly tried to bring his music to the public, and for this purpose proposed 'improvements' for making Bruckner's music more acceptable to the public. While Bruckner allowed these changes, he also made sure in his will to bequeath his original scores to the Vienna National Library, confident of their musical validity. Another proof of Bruckner's confidence in his artistic ability is that he often started work on a new symphony just a few days after finishing another.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In addition to his symphonies, Bruckner wrote &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_%28music%29" title="Mass (music)"&gt;masses&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motet" title="Motet"&gt;motets&lt;/a&gt; and other sacred &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choir" title="Choir"&gt;choral&lt;/a&gt; works, and a few chamber works, including a string quintet. Unlike his &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romantic_music" title="Romantic music"&gt;romantic&lt;/a&gt; symphonies, Bruckner's choral works are often conservative and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterpoint" title="Counterpoint"&gt;contrapuntal&lt;/a&gt; in style.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Biographers generally characterize Bruckner as a very simple man, and numerous anecdotes abound as to his dogged pursuit of his chosen craft and his humble acceptance of the fame that eventually came his way. Once, after a rehearsal of his &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._4_%28Bruckner%29" title="Symphony No. 4 (Bruckner)"&gt;Fourth Symphony&lt;/a&gt;, the well-meaning Bruckner tipped the conductor &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Richter_%28conductor%29" title="Hans Richter (conductor)"&gt;Hans Richter&lt;/a&gt;: "When the symphony was over," Richter related, "Bruckner came to me, his face beaming with enthusiasm and joy. I felt him press a coin into my hand. 'Take this' he said, 'and drink a glass of beer to my health.'" Richter, of course, accepted the coin, a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Theresa_thaler" title="Maria Theresa thaler"&gt;Maria Theresa thaler&lt;/a&gt;, and wore it on his watch-chain ever after.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Bruckner was a renowned organist in his day, impressing audiences in France in 1869, and England in 1871, giving six recitals on a new &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Willis" title="Henry Willis"&gt;Henry Willis&lt;/a&gt; organ at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Albert_Hall" title="Royal Albert Hall"&gt;Royal Albert Hall&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London" title="London"&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; and five more at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crystal_Palace" title="The Crystal Palace"&gt;the Crystal Palace&lt;/a&gt;. Though he wrote no major works for the organ, his improvisation sessions sometimes yielded ideas for the Symphonies. He taught organ performance at the Conservatory; among his students were &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Rott" title="Hans Rott"&gt;Hans Rott&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Schmidt" title="Franz Schmidt"&gt;Franz Schmidt&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_Mahler" title="Gustav Mahler"&gt;Gustav Mahler&lt;/a&gt;, who called Bruckner his "forerunner", attended the conservatory at this time (Walter n.d.).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In July 1886, the emperor decorated him with the Order of Franz-Josef.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Bruckner died in Vienna in 1896, of natural causes. He is buried in the crypt of St. Florian monastery church, right below his favorite organ.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_Bruckner_Private_University_for_Music,_Drama,_and_Dance" title="Anton Bruckner Private University for Music, Drama, and Dance"&gt;Anton Bruckner Private University for Music, Drama, and Dance&lt;/a&gt;, an institution of higher education in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linz" title="Linz"&gt;Linz&lt;/a&gt;, close to his native Ansfelden, was named after him in 1932 ("Bruckner Conservatory Linz" until 2004). The &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruckner_Orchester_Linz" title="Bruckner Orchester Linz" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Bruckner Orchester Linz&lt;/a&gt; was also named in his honor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671310067379384319-6180267675726832243?l=death11193.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://death11193.blogspot.com/feeds/6180267675726832243/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3671310067379384319&amp;postID=6180267675726832243' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671310067379384319/posts/default/6180267675726832243'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671310067379384319/posts/default/6180267675726832243'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://death11193.blogspot.com/2008/10/romantic-era.html' title='Romantic era'/><author><name>Mr. LoneLy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11826565615052816160</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pDlKb8-puHU/SLT0V9WdtCI/AAAAAAAAAAM/JPBKshMSKcM/S220/2421812157_5d86ebfb4b_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671310067379384319.post-6269917392695314292</id><published>2008-10-29T05:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-29T05:17:00.903-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Clara_Schumann,_pianist_and_wife_of_Robert_Schumann.jpg" class="image" title="Clara Schumann, &amp;quot;One of the most soulful and famous pianists of the day,&amp;quot; said Edvard Grieg."&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1c/Clara_Schumann%2C_pianist_and_wife_of_Robert_Schumann.jpg/250px-Clara_Schumann%2C_pianist_and_wife_of_Robert_Schumann.jpg" class="thumbimage" width="250" border="0" height="341" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;Biography&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="Early_career_and_first_meeting_with_Schumann" id="Early_career_and_first_meeting_with_Schumann"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In March 1828, at the age of nine, the young Clara Wieck performed at the Leipzig home of Dr. Ernst Carus, director of a mental hospital at Colditz Castle, and met another gifted young pianist invited to the musical evening named &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Schumann" title="Robert Schumann"&gt;Robert Schumann&lt;/a&gt;, nine years older than she. Schumann admired Wieck's playing so much that he asked permission from his mother to discontinue his studies of the law, which had never interested him much, and take music lessons with Wieck's father. While taking lessons, he took rooms in the Wieck household, staying about a year, until Wieck left on a concert tour to Paris. In 1830 at the age of eleven, Wieck gave her first solo concert, giving her debut at Leipzig's famed &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gewandhaus" title="Gewandhaus"&gt;Gewandhaus&lt;/a&gt;, followed by concerts in various cities and towns, including Weimar, where she performed for &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goethe" title="Goethe" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Goethe&lt;/a&gt;, who presented her with a medal with his portrait and a written note saying, "For the gifted artist Clara Wieck."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Clara Wieck had a brilliant career as a virtuoso pianist from the age of thirteen. In her early years her repertoire, selected by her father, was showy and popular, in the style common to the time, with works by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Kalkbrenner" title="Friedrich Kalkbrenner"&gt;Kalkbrenner&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_von_Henselt" title="Adolf von Henselt"&gt;Henselt&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigismond_Thalberg" title="Sigismond Thalberg"&gt;Thalberg&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Herz" title="Henri Herz"&gt;Herz&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Peter_Pixis" title="Johann Peter Pixis"&gt;Pixis&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Czerny" title="Carl Czerny"&gt;Czerny&lt;/a&gt;, and her own compositions. As she matured, however, becoming more established and planning her own programmes, she began to play works by the new Romantic composers, such as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_Chopin" title="Frédéric Chopin"&gt;Chopin&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Mendelssohn" title="Felix Mendelssohn"&gt;Mendelssohn&lt;/a&gt; and, of course, Schumann, as well as the great, less showy, more "difficult" composers of the past, such as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alessandro_Scarlatti" title="Alessandro Scarlatti"&gt;Scarlatt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alessandro_Scarlatti" title="Alessandro Scarlatti"&gt;i&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Sebastian_Bach" title="Johann Sebastian Bach"&gt;Bach&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Amadeus_Mozart" title="Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart"&gt;Mozart&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_van_Beethoven" title="Ludwig van Beethoven"&gt;Beethoven&lt;/a&gt; and Schubert.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="Marriage" id="Marriage"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In her nineteenth year, her father did everything in his power to prevent her from marrying Schumann, forcing the lovers to take him to court. During this period Robert Schumann, inspired by his love for Wieck, wrote many of his most famous &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lied" title="Lied"&gt;Lieder&lt;/a&gt;. They eventually married on December 12, 1840. She continued to perform and compose after the marriage even as she raised seven children, an eighth child having died in infancy. In the various tours on which she accompanied her husband, she extended her own reputation beyond Germany, and her efforts to promote his works gradually made his work accepted throughout Europe.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 1853 &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Brahms" title="Johannes Brahms"&gt;Johannes &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Brahms" title="Johannes Brahms"&gt;Brahms&lt;/a&gt;, age twenty, met Clara and Robert in Leipzig and immediately impressed both of them with his talent. Brahms became a lifelong friend to Wieck-Schumann, sustaining her through the illness of Robert, asking for her advice about new compositions, even caring for her young children while she went on tour. It is clear that they developed a deep and life-long love for each other, although there is no indication that it was ever consummated physically.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="Later_career" id="Later_career"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Clara Schumann's reputation brought her into contact with the leading musicians of the day, including &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Mendelssohn" title="Felix Mendelssohn"&gt;Mendelssohn&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric_Chopin" title="Frédéric Chopin"&gt;Chopin&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Liszt" title="Franz Liszt"&gt;Liszt&lt;/a&gt;. She also met &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violinist" title="Violinist"&gt;violinist&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Joachim" title="Joseph Joachim"&gt;Joseph Joachim&lt;/a&gt; who became one of her frequent performance partners.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="thumb tright"&gt; &lt;div class="thumbinner" style="width: 252px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Clara_Schumann,_pianist_and_wife_of_Robert_Schumann.jpg" class="image" title="Clara Schumann, &amp;quot;One of the most soulful and famous pianists of the day,&amp;quot; said Edvard Grieg."&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div class="thumbcaption"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;Clara Schumann often took charge of the finances and general household affairs due to Robert's mental instability. Part of her responsibility included making money, which she did by giving concerts, although she continued to play throughout her life not only for the income, but because she was a concert artist by training and by nature. Robert, while admiring her talent, wanted a traditional wife to bear children and make a happy home, which in his eyes and the eyes of society were in direct conflict with the life of a performer. Furthermore, while she loved touring, Robert hated it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;After Robert's death (July 29, 1856), Clara devoted herself principally to the interpretation of his works. But when she first visited England in 1856, the critics received Robert's music with a chorus of disapproval. She returned to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London" title="London"&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; in 1865 and continued her visits annually, with the exception of four seasons, until 1882. She also appeared there each year from 1885 to 1888. In 1878 she was appointed teacher of the piano at the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoch_Conservatory" title="Hoch Conservatory"&gt;Hoch Conservatory&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_am_Main" title="Frankfurt am Main"&gt;Frankfurt am Main&lt;/a&gt;, a post she held until 1892, and in which she contributed greatly to the improvement of modern piano playing technique.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Clara Schumann played her last public concert in Frankfurt in March 1891. Five years later, on March 26, 1896, she suffered a stroke, dying on May 20, at age 77. She is buried at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonn" title="Bonn"&gt;Bonn&lt;/a&gt;'s &lt;i&gt;Alter Friedhof&lt;/i&gt; (Old Cemetery) with her husband.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="Character" id="Character"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;&lt;span class="editsection"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;p&gt;Clara Schumann was a woman of great character. She was the main breadwinner for her family through giving concerts and teaching, and she did most of the work of organizing her own concert tours. She refused to accept charity when a group of musicians offered to put on a benefit concert for her. In addition to raising her own large family, when one of her children became incapacitated, she took on responsibility for raising her grandchildren. During a time of revolution in Dresden, she famously walked into the city through the front lines, defying a pack of armed men who confronted her, rescued her children, then walked back out of the city through the dangerous areas again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671310067379384319-6269917392695314292?l=death11193.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://death11193.blogspot.com/feeds/6269917392695314292/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3671310067379384319&amp;postID=6269917392695314292' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671310067379384319/posts/default/6269917392695314292'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671310067379384319/posts/default/6269917392695314292'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://death11193.blogspot.com/2008/10/biography-in-march-1828-at-age-of-nine.html' title=''/><author><name>Mr. LoneLy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11826565615052816160</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pDlKb8-puHU/SLT0V9WdtCI/AAAAAAAAAAM/JPBKshMSKcM/S220/2421812157_5d86ebfb4b_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671310067379384319.post-8315980893082841538</id><published>2008-10-29T05:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-29T05:10:12.552-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Classic era</title><content type='html'>&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:PaiselloVigeeLeBrun.jpg" class="image" title="Paisiello at the clavichord, by Marie Louise Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun, 1791.

The beauty of his singing voice attracted attention so much, that in 1754 he was sent to the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_Conservatories_of_Naples" title="Music Conservatories of Naples" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Conservatorio di S. Onofrio&lt;/a&gt; at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naples" title="Naples"&gt;Naples&lt;/a&gt;, where he studied under &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesco_Durante" title="Francesco Durante"&gt;Francesco Durante&lt;/a&gt;, and in due course became assistant master. For the theatre of the Conservatorio, which he left in 1763, he wrote some intermezzi, one of which attracted so much notice that he was invited to write two operas, &lt;i&gt;La Pupilla&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Il Mondo al Rovescio&lt;/i&gt;, for &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bologna" title="Bologna"&gt;Bologna&lt;/a&gt;, and a third, &lt;i&gt;Il Marchese di Tidipano&lt;/i&gt;, for Rome.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;His reputation being now firmly established, he settled for some years at Naples, where, despite the popularity of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niccol%C3%B2_Piccinni" title="Niccolò Piccinni"&gt;Niccolò Piccinni&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domenico_Cimarosa" title="Domenico Cimarosa"&gt;Domenico Cimarosa&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pietro_Guglielmi" title="Pietro Guglielmi" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Pietro Guglielmi&lt;/a&gt;, of whose triumphs he was bitterly jealous, he produced a series of highly successful operas, one of which, &lt;i&gt;L'ldolo cinese&lt;/i&gt;, made a deep impression upon the Neapolitan public.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 1772 Paisiello began to write church music, and composed a requiem for Gennara di Borbone, of the reigning dynasty. In the same year he married Cecilia Pallini, and the marriage was a happy one. In 1776 Paisiello was invited by the empress &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_II_of_Russia" title="Catherine II of Russia"&gt;Catherine II of Russia&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Petersburg" title="St Petersburg" class="mw-redirect"&gt;St Petersburg&lt;/a&gt;, where he remained for eight years, producing, among other charming works, his masterpiece, &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Il_barbiere_di_Siviglia_%28Paisiello%29" title="Il barbiere di Siviglia (Paisiello)"&gt;Il barbiere di Siviglia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, which soon attained a European reputation. The fate of this opera marks an epoch in the history of Italian art; for with it the gentle suavity cultivated by the masters of the 18th century died out to make room for the dazzling brilliance of a later period.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;When, in 1816, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gioachino_Rossini" title="Gioachino Rossini"&gt;Gioachino Rossini&lt;/a&gt; set a newly revised and updated version of the libretto to music, under the title of "Almaviva ossia la inutil precauzione" the fans of Paisiello stormed the stage. &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Barber_of_Seville" title="The Barber of Seville"&gt;Il barbiere di Siviglia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; is now acknowledged as Rossini's greatest work, while Paisiello's opera is only infrequently produced -- a strange instance of poetical vengeance, since Paisiello himself had many years previously endeavoured to eclipse the fame of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Battista_Pergolesi" title="Giovanni Battista Pergolesi"&gt;Giovanni Battista Pergolesi&lt;/a&gt; by resetting the libretto of his famous intermezzo, &lt;i&gt;La Serva padrona&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Paisiello left Russia in 1784, and, after producing &lt;i&gt;Il Re Teodoro&lt;/i&gt; at Vienna, entered the service of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_IV_of_Naples" title="Ferdinand IV of Naples" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Ferdinand IV of Naples&lt;/a&gt;, where he composed many of his best operas, including &lt;i&gt;Nina&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;La Molinara&lt;/i&gt;. After many vicissitudes, resulting from political and dynastic changes, he was invited to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris" title="Paris"&gt;Paris&lt;/a&gt; (1802) by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon" title="Napoleon" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Napoleon&lt;/a&gt;, whose favor he had won five years previously by a march composed for the funeral of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Lazare_Hoche" title="Louis Lazare Hoche" class="mw-redirect"&gt;General Hoche&lt;/a&gt;. Napoleon treated him munificently, while cruelly neglecting two more famous composers, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_Cherubini" title="Luigi Cherubini"&gt;Luigi Cherubini&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etienne_M%C3%A9hul" title="Etienne Méhul" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Etienne Méhul&lt;/a&gt;, to whom the new favorite transferred the hatred he had formerly borne to Cimarosa, Guglielmi and Piccinni.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Paisiello conducted the music of the court in the Tuileries with a stipend of 10,000 francs and 4800 for lodging, but he entirely failed to conciliate the Parisian public, who received his opera &lt;i&gt;Proserpine&lt;/i&gt; so coldly that, in 1803, he requested and with some difficulty obtained permission to return to Italy, upon the plea of his wife's ill health. On his arrival at Naples Paisiello was reinstated in his former appointments by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Bonaparte" title="Joseph Bonaparte"&gt;Joseph Bonaparte&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joachim_Murat" title="Joachim Murat"&gt;Joachim Murat&lt;/a&gt;, but he had taxed his genius beyond its strength, and was unable to meet the demands now made upon it for new ideas. His prospects, too, were precarious. The power of the Bonaparte family was tottering to its fall; and Paisiello's fortunes fell with it. The death of his wife in 1815 tried him severely. His health failed rapidly, and constitutional jealousy of the popularity of others was a source of worry and vexation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Paisiello's operas (of which he is known to have composed 94) abound with melodies, the graceful beauty of which is still warmly appreciated. Perhaps the best known of these airs is the famous "Nel cor più non mi sento" from &lt;i&gt;La Molinara&lt;/i&gt;, immortalized by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_van_Beethoven" title="Ludwig van Beethoven"&gt;Beethoven&lt;/a&gt;'s variations. His church music was very voluminous, comprising eight masses, besides many smaller works; he also produced fifty-one instrumental compositions and many detached pieces. Manuscript scores of many of his operas were presented to the library of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Museum" title="British Museum"&gt;British Museum&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domenico_Dragonetti" title="Domenico Dragonetti"&gt;Domenico Dragonetti&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The library of the Gerolamini at Naples possesses an interesting manuscript compilation recording Paisiello's opinions on contemporary composers, and exhibiting him as a somewhat severe critic, especially of the work of Pergolesi.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Grove Concise Dictionary of Music&lt;a href="http://www.gramophone.co.uk/grove_popup_detail.asp?type=entry&amp;amp;id=6764" class="external autonumber" title="http://www.gramophone.co.uk/grove_popup_detail.asp?type=entry&amp;amp;id=6764" rel="nofollow"&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt; notes that "Paisiello was one of the most successful and influential opera composers of his time. Most of his over 80 operas are comic and use a simple, direct and spirited style, latterly with sharper characterization, more colorful scoring and warmer melodies (features that influenced &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozart" title="Mozart" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Mozart&lt;/a&gt;). His serious operas have less than the conventional amount of virtuoso vocal writing; those for Russia are the closest to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluck" title="Gluck" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Gluck&lt;/a&gt;'s 'reform' approach."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671310067379384319-8315980893082841538?l=death11193.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://death11193.blogspot.com/feeds/8315980893082841538/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3671310067379384319&amp;postID=8315980893082841538' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671310067379384319/posts/default/8315980893082841538'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671310067379384319/posts/default/8315980893082841538'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://death11193.blogspot.com/2008/10/classic-era.html' title='Classic era'/><author><name>Mr. LoneLy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11826565615052816160</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pDlKb8-puHU/SLT0V9WdtCI/AAAAAAAAAAM/JPBKshMSKcM/S220/2421812157_5d86ebfb4b_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671310067379384319.post-1595449943416819129</id><published>2008-10-29T05:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-29T05:07:43.876-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;h2&gt;&lt;img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ADMINI%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ADMINI%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Thomas_Augustine_Arne.jpg" class="image" title="Thomas Augustine Arne"&gt;&lt;img alt="Thomas Augustine Arne" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ef/Thomas_Augustine_Arne.jpg/180px-Thomas_Augustine_Arne.jpg" class="thumbimage" width="180" border="0" height="324" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;Biography&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;Arne was born in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covent_Garden" title="Covent Garden"&gt;Covent Garden&lt;/a&gt; area of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London" title="London"&gt;London&lt;/a&gt;; his father and grandfather were &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upholstery" title="Upholstery"&gt;upholsterers&lt;/a&gt;. He was educated at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eton_College" title="Eton College"&gt;Eton College&lt;/a&gt;. A chance meeting with composer Michael Christian Festing would become key as Festing would persuade the elder Arne to allow his son to pursue a career in music. Arne's sister, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susannah_Maria_Arne" title="Susannah Maria Arne"&gt;Susannah Maria Arne&lt;/a&gt;, was a famous &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contralto" title="Contralto"&gt;contralto&lt;/a&gt;, who performed in some of his works, including his first &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera" title="Opera"&gt;opera&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Rosamund&lt;/i&gt;. (She would later become known professionally as "Mrs Cibber".) They and their brother Richard would often perform Arne's works together. Between 1733 and 1776, Arne wrote music for about 90 stage works, including &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plays" title="Plays" class="mw-redirect"&gt;plays&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masques" title="Masques" class="mw-redirect"&gt;masques&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantomimes" title="Pantomimes" class="mw-redirect"&gt;pantomimes&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera" title="Opera"&gt;opera&lt;/a&gt;. Many of his dramatic scores are now lost, probably in the disastrous fire at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Opera_House" title="Royal Opera House"&gt;Covent Garden&lt;/a&gt; in 1808.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-autogenerated1_0-0" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Arne#cite_note-autogenerated1-0" title=""&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Arne was a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry" title="Freemasonry"&gt;Freemason&lt;/a&gt;&lt;sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Arne#cite_note-1" title=""&gt;[2]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; and active in the organisation which has long been centred around the Covent Garden area of London, of which Arne was a native.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;On 15 March 1737 &lt;a href="http://www.ihgs.ac.uk/familyhistory/arne.php" class="external autonumber" title="http://www.ihgs.ac.uk/familyhistory/arne.php" rel="nofollow"&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt;, Arne married singer Cecilia Young, whose sister, Isabella was the wife of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Frederick_Lampe" title="John Frederick Lampe"&gt;John Frederick Lampe&lt;/a&gt;. Arne's operas and masques became very popular, and he received the patronage of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick,_Prince_of_Wales" title="Frederick, Prince of Wales"&gt;Frederick, Prince of Wales&lt;/a&gt;, at whose country home, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliveden" title="Cliveden"&gt;Cliveden&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masque_of_Alfred" title="Masque of Alfred" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Masque of Alfred&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, featuring "Rule Britannia", was debuted.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 1741 Arne filed a complaint in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_of_equity" title="Court of equity"&gt;Chancery&lt;/a&gt; pertaining to a breach of musical copyright and claimed that some of his theatrical songs had been printed and sold by Henry Roberts and John Johnson, the London booksellers and music distributors. The matter was settled out of court. Thomas Arne subsequently wrote:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;"As Mr. Arne has His Majesty's royal Patent for the sole printing and publishing of his works, he humbly hopes no Gentlemen or Ladies will give any Encouragement to pirated copies, written or printed, such persons who deliver them acting in open contempt of His Majesty's Authority and greatly injuring the Author in his Property. And as Mr. Arne can offend no honest Shopkeeper in maintaining his Right; he gives the Public Notice, that whosoever shall offer to write or print any of his works shall be prosecuted according to law."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sup class="noprint Inline-Template"&gt;&lt;span title="The text in the vicinity of this tag needs citation since May 2008" style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;[&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources#When_quoting_someone" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources"&gt;cite this quote&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arne was certainly one of the very first composers to have appealed to the law over copyright issues. &lt;sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Arne#cite_note-2" title=""&gt;[3]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 1750, after an argument with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Garrick" title="David Garrick"&gt;David Garrick&lt;/a&gt;, Susannah left &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drury_Lane" title="Drury Lane"&gt;Drury Lane&lt;/a&gt; for Covent Garden Theatre, and Thomas followed. In 1755, he separated from Cecilia, who, he alleged, was mentally ill. He began a relationship with one of his pupils, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte_Brent" title="Charlotte Brent"&gt;Charlotte Brent&lt;/a&gt;, a soprano and former child prodigy. Brent performed in several of Arne's works including the role of Sally in his 1760 &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera" title="Opera"&gt;opera&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_and_Sally" title="Thomas and Sally"&gt;Thomas and Sally&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; and Mandane in his 1762 &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera" title="Opera"&gt;opera&lt;/a&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artaxerxes_%28opera%29" title="Artaxerxes (opera)"&gt;Artaxerxes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;i&gt;Thomas and Sally&lt;/i&gt; was the first English comic opera to be sung throughout (it contained no dialogue).&lt;sup id="cite_ref-autogenerated1_0-1" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Arne#cite_note-autogenerated1-0" title=""&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; &lt;i&gt;Artaxerxes&lt;/i&gt; was one of the most successful and influential English operas of the eighteenth century and is the only known attempt to write an Italianate, Metastasian &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_seria" title="Opera seria"&gt;opera seria&lt;/a&gt;, in the English language.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Arne#cite_note-3" title=""&gt;[4]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; Eventually Brent and Arne went their separate ways and Brent married a violinist. In 1777, shortly before his death, Arne and his wife were reconciled. They had one son, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Arne" title="Michael Arne"&gt;Michael Arne&lt;/a&gt;.

He was taught the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano" title="Piano"&gt;piano&lt;/a&gt; by his father and grandfather who were both &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_%28music%29" title="Organ (music)"&gt;organists&lt;/a&gt;. During &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II"&gt;World War II&lt;/a&gt; he was conscripted into the army, but on his first day he injured his hand while learning how a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun" title="Gun"&gt;gun&lt;/a&gt; worked. He spent time in a military hospital, before fleeing to fight in anti-&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism" title="Nazism"&gt;Nazi&lt;/a&gt; groups. Following the war, Berio studied at the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milan" title="Milan"&gt;Milan&lt;/a&gt; Conservatory under &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Giulio_Cesare_Paribeni&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Giulio Cesare Paribeni (page does not exist)"&gt;Giulio Cesare Paribeni&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giorgio_Federico_Ghedini" title="Giorgio Federico Ghedini"&gt;Giorgio Federico Ghedini&lt;/a&gt;. He was unable to continue studying the piano because of his injured hand, so instead concentrated on composition. In 1947 came the first public performance of one of his works, a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suite" title="Suite"&gt;suite&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano" title="Piano"&gt;piano&lt;/a&gt;.Berio made a living at this time accompanying singing classes, and it was in doing this that he met American &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mezzo-soprano" title="Mezzo-soprano"&gt;mezzo-soprano&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathy_Berberian" title="Cathy Berberian"&gt;Cathy Berberian&lt;/a&gt;, whom he married shortly after graduating (they divorced in 1964). Berio would write many pieces exploiting her versatile and unique voice.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 1951, Berio went to the United States to study with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_Dallapiccola" title="Luigi Dallapiccola"&gt;Luigi Dallapiccola&lt;/a&gt; at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanglewood" title="Tanglewood"&gt;Tanglewood&lt;/a&gt;, from whom he gained an interest in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serialism" title="Serialism"&gt;serialism&lt;/a&gt;. He later attended the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darmstadt_New_Music_Summer_School" title="Darmstadt New Music Summer School" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Internationale Ferienkurse für Neue Musik&lt;/a&gt; at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darmstadt" title="Darmstadt"&gt;Darmstadt&lt;/a&gt;, meeting &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Boulez" title="Pierre Boulez"&gt;Pierre Boulez&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlheinz_Stockhausen" title="Karlheinz Stockhausen"&gt;Karlheinz Stockhausen&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gy%C3%B6rgy_Ligeti" title="György Ligeti"&gt;György Ligeti&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauricio_Kagel" title="Mauricio Kagel"&gt;Mauricio Kagel&lt;/a&gt; there. He became interested in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_music" title="Electronic music"&gt;electronic music&lt;/a&gt;, co-founding the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Studio_di_Fonologia&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Studio di Fonologia (page does not exist)"&gt;Studio di Fonologia&lt;/a&gt;, an electronic music studio in Milan, with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Maderna" title="Bruno Maderna"&gt;Bruno Maderna&lt;/a&gt; in 1955. He invited a number of significant composers to work there, among them &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Pousseur" title="Henri Pousseur"&gt;Henri Pousseur&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cage" title="John Cage"&gt;John Cage&lt;/a&gt;. He also produced an electronic music periodical, &lt;i&gt;Incontri Musicali&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In 1960, Berio returned to Tanglewood, this time as Composer in Residence, and in 1962, on an invitation from &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darius_Milhaud" title="Darius Milhaud"&gt;Darius Milhaud&lt;/a&gt;, took a teaching post at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mills_College" title="Mills College"&gt;Mills College&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oakland,_California" title="Oakland, California"&gt;Oakland, California&lt;/a&gt;. In 1965 he began to teach at the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juilliard_School" title="Juilliard School"&gt;Juilliard School&lt;/a&gt;, and there he founded the Juilliard Ensemble, a group dedicated to performances of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contemporary_music" title="Contemporary music"&gt;contemporary music&lt;/a&gt;. In 1966, he again married, this time to the noted philosopher of science &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Susan_Oyama&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Susan Oyama (page does not exist)"&gt;Susan Oyama&lt;/a&gt; (they divorced in 1972). His students include &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Andriessen" title="Louis Andriessen"&gt;Louis Andriessen&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Reich" title="Steve Reich"&gt;Steve Reich&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Luca_Francesconi&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Luca Francesconi (page does not exist)"&gt;Luca Francesconi&lt;/a&gt; and, perhaps most surprisingly, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Lesh" title="Phil Lesh"&gt;Phil Lesh&lt;/a&gt; of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grateful_Dead" title="Grateful Dead"&gt;Grateful Dead&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;All this time Berio had been steadily composing and building a reputation, winning the Italian Prize in 1966 for &lt;i&gt;Laborintus II&lt;/i&gt;. His reputation was cemented when his &lt;i&gt;Sinfonia&lt;/i&gt; was premiered in 1968. In 1972, Berio returned to Italy. From 1974–80 he acted as director of the electro-acoustic division of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRCAM" title="IRCAM"&gt;IRCAM&lt;/a&gt; in Paris, and in 1977 he married for the third time with musicologist Talia Pecker. In 1987 he opened &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tempo_Reale&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Tempo Reale (page does not exist)"&gt;Tempo Reale&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence" title="Florence"&gt;Florence&lt;/a&gt;, a centre similar in intent to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRCAM" title="IRCAM"&gt;IRCAM&lt;/a&gt;. In 1994 he became Distinguished Composer in Residence at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_University" title="Harvard University"&gt;Harvard University&lt;/a&gt;, remaining there until 2000. He was also active as a conductor and continued to compose to the end of his life. In 2000, he became Presidente and Sovrintendente at the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accademia_Nazionale_di_Santa_Cecilia" title="Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia"&gt;Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia&lt;/a&gt; in Rome.

At the age of ten he was sent to a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boarding_school" title="Boarding school"&gt;boarding school&lt;/a&gt; on the Aegean island of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spetsai" title="Spetsai" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Spetsai&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greece" title="Greece"&gt;Greece&lt;/a&gt; and later studied &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture" title="Architecture"&gt;architecture&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering" title="Engineering"&gt;engineering&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athens" title="Athens"&gt;Athens&lt;/a&gt;. Xenakis participated in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_movement" title="Resistance movement"&gt;Greek Resistance&lt;/a&gt; during &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II"&gt;World War II&lt;/a&gt; and during the period of British martial law,&lt;sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iannis_Xenakis#cite_note-7" title=""&gt;[8]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iannis_Xenakis#cite_note-8" title=""&gt;[9]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; in the first phase of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_Civil_War" title="Greek Civil War"&gt;Greek Civil War&lt;/a&gt; as a member of the communist students' company &lt;i&gt;Lord Byron&lt;/i&gt; of the leftwing &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_People%27s_Liberation_Army_%28Greece%29" title="National People's Liberation Army (Greece)" class="mw-redirect"&gt;ELAS&lt;/a&gt; (Ethnikos Laikos Apeleftherotikos Stratos, Greek People's Liberation Army). He received a severe face wound from a British shell which resulted in the loss of eyesight in one eye.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iannis_Xenakis#cite_note-9" title=""&gt;[10]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; In 1947 he fled under a false passport to Paris. In the meantime, in Greece he was sentenced &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_absentia" title="In absentia"&gt;in absentia&lt;/a&gt; to death by the right-wing administration. In &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris" title="Paris"&gt;Paris&lt;/a&gt; he worked with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Corbusier" title="Le Corbusier"&gt;Le Corbusier&lt;/a&gt;; while his assistant, Xenakis designed the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philips_Pavilion" title="Philips Pavilion"&gt;Philips Pavilion&lt;/a&gt; for the 1958 World's Fair in Brussels.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iannis_Xenakis#cite_note-10" title=""&gt;[11]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; The Pavilion's hyperbolic structure was, in fact, based on the formative structure of one of his most famous pieces, &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metastasis_%28Xenakis%29" title="Metastasis (Xenakis)"&gt;Metastaseis&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, composed some four years earlier. The dual nature of "Metastaseis" and the Pavilion are an example of Xenakis' theory of meta-art – the concept that an artistic expression can be realized mathematically in any artistic medium.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iannis_Xenakis#cite_note-11" title=""&gt;[12]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; Xenakis performed at many world expositions and fairs, and played annually in the Shiraz Art Festival in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran" title="Iran"&gt;Iran&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Xenakis's primary teachers of composition were &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristotelis_Koundouroff" title="Aristotelis Koundouroff"&gt;Aristotelis Koundouroff&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Honegger" title="Arthur Honegger"&gt;Arthur Honegger&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darius_Milhaud" title="Darius Milhaud"&gt;Darius Milhaud&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivier_Messiaen" title="Olivier Messiaen"&gt;Olivier Messiaen&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iannis_Xenakis#cite_note-12" title=""&gt;[13]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;. His first meeting with Honegger exemplifies his attitude toward formal instruction: asked to play one of his compositions on the piano, Xenakis was stopped promptly as Honegger pointed out &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_fifths" title="Parallel fifths" class="mw-redirect"&gt;parallel fifths&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octaves" title="Octaves" class="mw-redirect"&gt;octaves&lt;/a&gt;. Xenakis had written them intentionally and refused to "correct" the piece. Honegger attempted to humiliate Xenakis, who simply left to study with Milhaud. However, he believed Milhaud's teaching also imposed restrictions he found arbitrary and inessential.&lt;sup class="noprint Inline-Template"&gt;&lt;span title="The material in the vicinity of this tag needs to be fact-checked with the cited source(s) since July 2007" style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;[&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability"&gt;verification needed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, he continued to work full-time as an architect in Le Corbusier's employ, composing only as a hobby. Xenakis was a creative architect, exploring the possibilities of new materials and shapes in construction, and was frequently entrusted with important projects that called on his technical and artistic skills. Le Corbusier, who came from a musical family (and pretended to hate music) also mentored Xenakis as a composer; he regarded Xenakis and Varèse as two of France's most innovative and promising.&lt;sup class="noprint Inline-Template"&gt;&lt;span title="The material in the vicinity of this tag needs to be fact-checked with the cited source(s) since July 2007" style="white-space: nowrap;"&gt;[&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability"&gt;verification needed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Later, Xenakis approached Olivier Messiaen for compositional advice, expecting to have to start his musical studies again from the beginning, but was told "No, you are almost thirty, you have the good fortune of being Greek, of being an architect and having studied special mathematics. Take advantage of these things. Do them in your music." Messiaen, whose own compositional style did not follow established precedents, did not try to impose the limitations of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baroque_music" title="Baroque music"&gt;baroque&lt;/a&gt; counterpoint or &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serialism" title="Serialism"&gt;serialism&lt;/a&gt; as previous teachers had, but rather let Xenakis find his own musical ideas and guided them along. Xenakis attended Messiaen's &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Conservatoire" title="Paris Conservatoire" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Paris Conservatoire&lt;/a&gt; classes regularly, and his confidence grew along with his compositional skill; he would shortly thereafter combine the mathematical ideas he had been developing in Corbusier's studio with the musical tools he had been honing with Messiaen to produce his first major work.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Notable students include &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_Dusapin" title="Pascal Dusapin"&gt;Pascal Dusapin&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Carl" title="Robert Carl"&gt;Robert Carl&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;He was married to writer &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fran%C3%A7oise_Xenakis&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Françoise Xenakis (page does not exist)"&gt;Françoise Xenakis&lt;/a&gt;, née Gargouïl.

Several of his first major &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orchestra" title="Orchestra"&gt;orchestral&lt;/a&gt; works, including the &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enigma_Variations" title="Enigma Variations"&gt;Enigma Variations&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; and the &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomp_and_Circumstance_Marches" title="Pomp and Circumstance Marches"&gt;Pomp and Circumstance Marches&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, were greeted with acclaim. He also composed &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oratorio" title="Oratorio"&gt;oratorios&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamber_music" title="Chamber music"&gt;chamber music&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony" title="Symphony"&gt;symphonies&lt;/a&gt;, instrumental &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concerto" title="Concerto"&gt;concertos&lt;/a&gt;, and songs. He was appointed &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_the_Queen%27s_Music" title="Master of the Queen's Music"&gt;Master of the King's Musick&lt;/a&gt; in 1924.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Edward Elgar was born in the small village of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadheath,_Worcestershire" title="Broadheath, Worcestershire"&gt;Lower Broadheath&lt;/a&gt; outside &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worcester" title="Worcester"&gt;Worcester&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England" title="England"&gt;England&lt;/a&gt; to William Elgar, a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano" title="Piano"&gt;piano&lt;/a&gt; tuner and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music" title="Music"&gt;music&lt;/a&gt; dealer, and his wife Anne (née Greening). The fourth of seven children, Elgar's siblings were Henry John (Harry) (15 October 1848– 5 May 1864), Lucy Ann (Loo)&lt;sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Elgar#cite_note-0" title=""&gt;[1]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; (born 29 May 1852), Susannah Mary (Pollie) (born 28 December 1854), Frederick Joseph (Jo) (born 28 August 1859), Francis Thomas (Frank) (born 1 October 1861), and Helen Agnes (Dott or Dot) (born 1 January 1864).&lt;sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Elgar#cite_note-1" title=""&gt;[2]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; His mother, Anne, had converted to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Church" title="Roman Catholic Church"&gt;Catholicism&lt;/a&gt; shortly before Edward's birth, so Edward was baptised and brought up as a Roman Catholic.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Elgar was an early riser, and would often turn to reading &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltaire" title="Voltaire"&gt;Voltaire&lt;/a&gt;, Drayton historical classics, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longfellow" title="Longfellow"&gt;Longfellow&lt;/a&gt; and other works encouraged by his mother. By the age of eight, he was taking &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano" title="Piano"&gt;piano&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violin" title="Violin"&gt;violin&lt;/a&gt; lessons, and would often listen to his father playing &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_%28music%29" title="Organ (music)"&gt;organ&lt;/a&gt; at St. George's church, and soon took it up also. His prime interest, however, was the violin, and his first written music was for that instrument.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Surrounded by sheet music, instruments, and music textbooks in his father's shop in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worcester,_England" title="Worcester, England" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Worcester&lt;/a&gt;'s High Street, the young Elgar became self-taught in music theory. On warm summer days, he would take manuscripts into the countryside to study them (he was a passionate and adventurous early &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle" title="Bicycle"&gt;cyclist&lt;/a&gt; from the age of 5). Thus there began for him a strong association between music and nature. As he was later to say, "There is music in the air, music all around us, the world is full of it and you simply take as much as you require."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;At the age of 15, Elgar had hoped to go to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leipzig" title="Leipzig"&gt;Leipzig&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany" title="Germany"&gt;Germany&lt;/a&gt; to study music, but lacking the funds he instead left school and began working for a local &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solicitor" title="Solicitor"&gt;solicitor&lt;/a&gt;. Around this time he made his first public appearances as a violinist and organist. After a few months, he left the solicitor and embarked on a musical career, giving piano and violin lessons, and working occasionally in his father's shop. Elgar was an active member of the Worcester &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glee_Club" title="Glee Club" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Glee Club&lt;/a&gt;, along with his father, and he accompanied singers, played violin, composed and arranged works, and even conducted for the first time. At 22 he took up the post of bandmaster at the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worcester_and_County_Lunatic_Asylum" title="Worcester and County Lunatic Asylum" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Worcester and County Lunatic Asylum&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powick" title="Powick"&gt;Powick&lt;/a&gt;, three miles south-west of Worcester, a progressive institution which believed in the recuperative powers of music. He composed here too; some of the pieces for the asylum orchestra (music in dance forms) were rediscovered and performed locally in 1996.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In many ways, his years as a young Worcestershire violinist were his happiest. He played in the first violins at the Worcester and Birmingham Festivals, and one great experience was to play &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton%C3%ADn_Dvo%C5%99%C3%A1k" title="Antonín Dvořák"&gt;Antonín Dvořák&lt;/a&gt;'s &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._6_%28Dvo%C5%99%C3%A1k%29" title="Symphony No. 6 (Dvořák)"&gt;Symphony No. 6&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabat_Mater" title="Stabat Mater"&gt;Stabat Mater&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; under the composer's baton. As part of a wind quintet and for his musical friends, he arranged dozens of pieces by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozart" title="Mozart" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Mozart&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beethoven" title="Beethoven" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Beethoven&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haydn" title="Haydn" class="mw-redirect"&gt;Haydn&lt;/a&gt;, and other masters, honing his arranging and compositional skills, and applying them to his earliest pieces. Although somewhat solitary and introspective by nature, Elgar thrived in Worcester's musical circles.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="thumb tright"&gt; &lt;div class="thumbinner" style="width: 182px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Salut_d%27Amour.jpg" class="image" title="Elgar's Salut d'Amour is one of his most well-known works."&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div class="thumbcaption"&gt; &lt;div class="magnify"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Salut_d%27Amour.jpg" class="internal" title="Enlarge"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; Elgar's &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salut_d%27Amour" title="Salut d'Amour"&gt;Salut d'Amour&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt; is one of his most well-known works.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;In his first trips abroad in 1880-82, Elgar visited &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris" title="Paris"&gt;Paris&lt;/a&gt; and Leipzig, attended concerts by first rate orchestras, and was exposed to the music of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Wagner" title="Richard Wagner"&gt;Richard Wagner&lt;/a&gt;, then the rage. Returning to his more provincial milieu increased his desire for a wider fame. He often went to London in an attempt to get his works published, but this period in his life found him frequently despondent and low on money. He wrote to a friend in April 1884, "My prospects are about as hopeless as ever ... I am not wanting in energy I think, so sometimes I conclude that 'tis want of ability...I have no money--not a cent." &lt;sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Elgar#cite_note-2" title=""&gt;[3]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;At 29, through his teaching, he met &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alice_Elgar&amp;amp;action=edit&amp;amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Alice Elgar (page does not exist)"&gt;(Caroline) Alice Roberts&lt;/a&gt;, daughter of the late Major-General Sir Henry Roberts and a published author of verse and prose fiction. Eight years older than Elgar, she became his wife three years later, against the wishes of her family. They were married on 8 May 1889, at &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brompton_Oratory" title="Brompton Oratory"&gt;Brompton Oratory&lt;/a&gt;. Alice's faith in him and her courage in marrying 'beneath her class' were strongly supportive to his career. She dealt with his mood swings and was a generous musical critic. She was also his business manager and social secretary. She did her best to gain him the attention of influential society, though with limited success. In time he would learn to accept the honours given him, realizing that they mattered more to her and her social class. She also gave up some of her personal aspirations to further his career. In her diary she later admitted, "The care of a genius is enough of a life work for any woman." &lt;sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Elgar#cite_note-3" title=""&gt;[4]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; As an engagement present, Elgar presented her with the short violin and piano piece &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salut_d%27Amour" title="Salut d'Amour"&gt;Salut d'Amour&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;. With Alice's encouragement, the Elgars moved to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London" title="London"&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; to be closer to the centre of British musical life, and Edward started composing in earnest. The stay was unsuccessful, however, and they were obliged to return to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Malvern" title="Great Malvern"&gt;Great Malvern&lt;/a&gt;, where Edward could earn a living teaching and conducting local musical ensembles. Though disappointed at the London episode, the return to the country proved better for Elgar's health and as a base of musical inspiration, bringing him closer to nature and to his friends.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671310067379384319-3951954634304311673?l=death11193.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://death11193.blogspot.com/feeds/3951954634304311673/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3671310067379384319&amp;postID=3951954634304311673' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671310067379384319/posts/default/3951954634304311673'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671310067379384319/posts/default/3951954634304311673'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://death11193.blogspot.com/2008/10/sir-edward-william-elgar-1st-baronet-om.html' title='20th century'/><author><name>Mr. LoneLy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11826565615052816160</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pDlKb8-puHU/SLT0V9WdtCI/AAAAAAAAAAM/JPBKshMSKcM/S220/2421812157_5d86ebfb4b_o.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671310067379384319.post-7291721976465396975</id><published>2008-10-29T04:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-29T04:47:35.231-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pDlKb8-puHU/SQhNQ2r98PI/AAAAAAAAABk/_QLz3u4EPwE/s1600-h/200px-Carl-Nielsen.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 176px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pDlKb8-puHU/SQhNQ2r98PI/AAAAAAAAABk/_QLz3u4EPwE/s320/200px-Carl-Nielsen.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262541116535599346" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Carl August Nielsen&lt;/b&gt; (9 June 1865 – 3 October 1931) was a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conducting" title="Conducting"&gt;conductor&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violinist" title="Violinist"&gt;violinist&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composer" title="Composer"&gt;composer&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark" title="Denmark"&gt;Denmark&lt;/a&gt;. His works have long been well known in Denmark and they have been "a mainstay throughout the Nordic countries and, to a lesser extent, in Britain," noted the critic &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Ross_%28music_critic%29" title="Alex Ross (music critic)"&gt;Alex Ross&lt;/a&gt; in 2008 in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Yorker" title="The New Yorker"&gt;The New Yorker&lt;/a&gt;, and rising young conductors such as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustavo_Dudamel" title="Gustavo Dudamel"&gt;Gustavo Dudamel&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Gilbert_%28conductor%29" title="Alan Gilbert (conductor)"&gt;Alan Gilbert&lt;/a&gt; are now playing Nielsen's music in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States" title="United States"&gt;United States&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Carl Nielsen is especially admired for his six &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony" title="Symphony"&gt;symphonies&lt;/a&gt; and his concertos for violin, flute and clarinet.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Carl Nielsen appears on the Danish &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_hundred-kroner_bill" title="Danish hundred-kroner bill" class="mw-redirect"&gt;hundred-kroner bill&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nielsen was the seventh of twelve children in a poor peasant family in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortelung" title="Sortelung"&gt;Sortelung&lt;/a&gt; (Nørre Lyndelse), south of the city of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odense" title="Odense"&gt;Odense&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark" title="Denmark"&gt;Denmark&lt;/a&gt;. His father was a house painter and amateur musician. Carl first discovered music by experimenting with the sounds and pitches he heard when striking logs in a pile of firewood behind his home. He managed to learn the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violin" title="Violin"&gt;violin&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano" title="Piano"&gt;piano&lt;/a&gt; as a child.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;He also learned how to play &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brass_instrument" title="Brass instrument"&gt;brass instruments&lt;/a&gt;, which led to a job as a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugle_%28instrument%29" title="Bugle (instrument)"&gt;bugler&lt;/a&gt; in the 16th Battalion at nearby &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odense" title="Odense"&gt;Odense&lt;/a&gt;. He later studied violin and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_theory" title="Music theory"&gt;music theory&lt;/a&gt; at the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copenhagen" title="Copenhagen"&gt;Copenhagen&lt;/a&gt; Music Conservatory, but never took formal lessons in composition. Nonetheless, he began to compose. At first, he did not gain enough recognition for his works to support him. During the concert which saw the premiere of his first &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony" title="Symphony"&gt;symphony&lt;/a&gt; on 14 March 1894 conducted by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johan_Svendsen" title="Johan Svendsen"&gt;Johan Svendsen&lt;/a&gt;, Nielsen played in the second &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violin" title="Violin"&gt;violin&lt;/a&gt; section. However, the same symphony was a great success when played in &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin" title="Berlin"&gt;Berlin&lt;/a&gt; in 1896, and from then his fame grew.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Nielsen continued to play the violin at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen until 1905, when he became 2nd conductor at the Theatre (till 1914). From 1914-26, he conducted the orchestra of "Musikforeningen". In 1916 he took a post teaching at the Royal Danish Conservatory in Copenhagen, and continued to work there until his death, in his last year as director of the institute.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;On 10 April 1891 Nielsen married the Danish sculptor Anne Marie Brodersen, after having met just a month before in Paris, and the couple honeymooned in Italy. Despite a long period of marital strife including a lengthy separation and mutual accusations of infidelity, they remained married until Nielsen's death. They had three children: Irmelin, Anne Marie, and Børge.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;For his son-in-law, the Hungarian violinist Dr. Emil Telmanyi, Nielsen wrote his Violin Concerto op. 33 (1911).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Nielsen suffered a serious heart attack in 1925 and from that time on he was forced to curtail much of his activity, although he continued to compose until his death. Also during this period he wrote a delightful memoir of his childhood called &lt;i&gt;My Childhood on Funen&lt;/i&gt; (1927). He also produced a short book of essays entitled &lt;i&gt;Living Music&lt;/i&gt; (1925). Both have been translated into English. He died in Copenhagen in 1931.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a name="Music" id="Music"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;span class="editsection"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="mw-headline"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3671310067379384319-7291721976465396975?l=death11193.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://death11193.blogspot.com/feeds/7291721976465396975/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3671310067379384319&amp;postID=7291721976465396975' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671310067379384319/posts/default/7291721976465396975'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3671310067379384319/posts/default/7291721976465396975'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://death11193.blogspot.com/2008/10/carl-august-nielsen-9-june-1865-3.html' title=''/><author><name>Mr. LoneLy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11826565615052816160</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='25' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pDlKb8-puHU/SLT0V9WdtCI/AAAAAAAAAAM/JPBKshMSKcM/S220/2421812157_5d86ebfb4b_o.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pDlKb8-puHU/SQhNQ2r98PI/AAAAAAAAABk/_QLz3u4EPwE/s72-c/200px-Carl-Nielsen.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671310067379384319.post-1020618971692574031</id><published>2008-09-30T05:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-30T05:42:51.685-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lyrics'/><title type='text'>Make it Mine</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Wake up everyone&lt;br /&gt;How can you sleep at a time like this&lt;br /&gt;Unless the dreamer is the real you&lt;br /&gt;Listen to your voice&lt;br /&gt;The one that tells you to taste past the tip of your tongue&lt;br /&gt;Leap and the net will appear&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't wanna wake before&lt;br /&gt;The dream is over&lt;br /&gt;I'm gonna make it mine&lt;br /&gt;Yes I...

ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;INTRAMS na sa wakas... hhahaha.. excited na ako.. hehehehe..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sa umaga, ang tagal kong gumising mga 6:45 yata un eh 7am ang klase ko kaya hindi na lang ako pumasok ng 1st period kasi tlgang late na ako... pagdating ko sa room ko nabalitaan ko na "PASAR KO!!".. pumasa ako sa english.. hahahaha.. thank God!.. kala ko na nga na hindi ako papasa kasi parati na lang akong late sa klase,, hehehehe.. tagal kasing matulog eh!.. hehehe.. tapos ng english time namin, wala nang klase ang naganap kasi busy lahat sa paghahanda ng INTRAMS mamayang hapon.. hehehe.. kaya natulog na lang ako sa room kasi talagang antok na antok pa ako.. heheheh.. at habang natutulog ako, nililibang ko ang sarili ko kasi wala kasi yung friend ko kasi nagpapractice sila sa MGA sayaw nya.. hehehe.. parang 3 sayaw nya ngayong araw na to!.. hirap maging dancer noh pero sulit naman kasi marami kang fans.. hehehe.. dba?..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sa pagbalik ko sa school, super enjoy na ang mga pipz kasi malapit nang magstart ang programs... heheh.. ang problema ko pa eh wala akong props kaya nalilito ako kung sasali o hindi pero buti na lang may tumulong sa akin para makakuha ng props.. hehehe.. ang saya-saya ko ng panahong yun kahit wala ang friend ko kasi dahil rin sa mga classmates ko.. hehehe..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;simula na ang program at nag parade kami sa oval at talagang sobrang saya pero medyo nahihiya akong sumigaw kasi bago pa ako dito sa school... (transferee nga eh!!.. hhehehe...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;pagkatapos nun nagsimula ang mga intro. nos., eh yun lang ang hinihintay ko eh!.. kasi nandun yung crush ko na sobrang sexy, cute, at ganda nya sa costume nya... hehehe.. nakaka-inlub... hehehe.. kaya hindi ko mapigilang ngumiti sa saya na nakita ko naman siyang sumasayaw.. hehehehe.. after that, kami lahat 4th yr nagsayaw at sobrang nakakainis ang mga 4th yr students (especially boys!!!). . .grrr. . . ang titigas ng ulo nila..pero hindi naman sila lahat!..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;after, wala na akong nagawa kundi magtambay sa gilid at soundtrip  lang... hehehe... wala sa mood eh!.. kasi nilalagnat ako at yung saya ko kanina prang xtra energy ko lang yun at naubos na... huhuhu... sakit nga ng ulo ko kanina prang mabibiyak sa sobrang sakit.. buti na lang may musics akong pwd pakinggan at madadamayan... hehehe.. music lang at medyo ok na ako..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;siguro mga 4:30pm yun at umuwi na ako kasi hindi ko na kaya.. pagdating ko sa bahay, naisip kong mag banat ng buto at dapat magpawisan ako kaya nagbike na lang ako at bumalik sa school eh kasi baka makita ko ang mga friends ko at sinuswerte nga naman, nakita ko yung friend ko at pinapasok pa ako para makita ang sayaw nila sa auditorium at pumunta naman ako pero . . . . ..  .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;. . . . . . . habang nanonood ako sa kanilang sayaw, nakita ko yung crush ko at nakita ko sa mukha nya na nasisiyahan sya at "MUKHANG" yung friend ko ang tinitignan nya. . .(friend na may crush sa crush ko) habang nakikita ko siyang ganun, naisip kong mas maging masaya sya sa kanya kaysa sa akin at talagang mas close na sila ngayon nung nawala ako sa bond nila.. pagkatapos ng pagkatapos nun, umuwi ako agad at hindi na ako nagpaalam sa friend ko at habang nagbabike ako tinatanong ko sarili ko &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;"bakit ako nagkakaganito?"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);"&gt;"friend lang kami...at crush ko lang sya...bakit?"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);"&gt;"bakit nga bah? but as my crush always said that "nakasure diay ka??"&lt;/span&gt; kaya inisip ko na lang na wala lang yun pero hindi talaga mawala at nagsisigaw na ako para mawala at sinabi ko nman sa aking sarili &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 255, 153);"&gt;"bakit ba ako ganito? wala nman akong pag-asa at isa pa gusto ko sanang hindi ko na maramdaman ito.. hirap kasi eh!!.."&lt;/span&gt; . . . hehehe... ang resulta sa kagagohan ko, masakit na masakit ang tuhod ko kasi ang mga daan na dinadaanan ko eh pataas at sa adrenaline ko pinilit ko ang sarili ko.. hehehehe.. pagdating ko nga sa bahay halos hindi ako makatayo ... hahahaha.. . namanhid ang tuhod ko..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;tnx sa pagbasa guys....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;pagdating ko sa room mukhang walang klase ang naganap kasi ang ingay at parang merkado na kaya hinintay ko nlng yung friend ko sa labas at nakikinig ng musics... hekhek..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;buti na lang wla kaming klase ng 3rd at saka 4th period namin kasi busy ang lahat sa INTRAMS bukas.. hehehe.. im excited na nga kasi 1st time kong mkasali o sabihin nating "my first INTRAMS".. heheheh.. kaya kumain agad ang friend ko kasi para maaga siyang makapag practice sa mga members nya at syempre ako nman nandun lang sa gilid at nakatunganga kasi mas gusto ko kasing mag-isa... hhehehe... ewan ko kung bakit pero feel ko lang... at syempre din hndi ako kumain sa lunch kasi ewan ko rin... hehehe..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;pagkatapos nun, syempre bumalik siya sa cube nila at nakipagbiroan at ako nman nakatunganga pa rin at nakikinig ng music.. pero sa sobra kong seryoso nun, nakakaantok pala kaya natulog ako at hindi pumasok sa 1st period ng hapon classes... hehehee.. weee!! wala kasi ako sa mood at masakit ang ulo ko, wala akong lakas, at not feeling pa baka dahil sa hindi ako kumain.. hehehe... pero sa totoo lang, nasanay na ako na hindi kumain ng lunch ito'y dahil sinanay ko ang mga alaga ko sa tiyan... heheheh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sa mga naganap ngayong araw, heto na naman ako nagtatanong at nag-iisip ng kung ano...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;hirap mapag-isa pero masaya kasi wala kang kausap, hindi masayang ang laway mo, ewan ko kung ano pa pero para lang sa akin mas gusto kong mapag-isa pero syempre din kung may gustong kumausap sa akin, open nman ako anytime at dadamayan ko pa pag may problema... hindi ko nman sinasabi na wala nang dapat kumausap sa akin!..di nman ganun.. ang akin lang eh, masaya ako mag-isa pero open naman ako sa mga gustong makipag-usap... pero sabi ko sa sarili ko "mas masaya talaga ang may barkada kang nagkukulitan at nagbibiroan"... pero sa situation ko ngayon mukhang balik ako sa shell ko na nag-iisa at sinasaya ang sarili... hehehehe... sanay nman ako!!... ako pah?! hehehe...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;buti nga kanina may nakausap ako pero naiilang akong kausapin ang gusto kong kausapin na friend ko kasi dahil nga sa mga kasalanan ko sa kanila at sa kanya... hiyang-hiya nga ako kanina nung kausap ko ang isa kong friend kasi ewan bsta nahihiya ako....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sa wakas practice na namin pero sa kasamaang palad, umulan ng malakas at natigil... hahaha.. pero ilang sandali nang humupa ang ulan nagpractice sila kahit umuulan ng mahina... ewan ko sa mga teachers mas gusto pa nilang mamatay ang students pra mkapagpractice... rain or shine ikanga.. haaay!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;nagagalit nga ako kasi syempre umuulan at nandun ung crush ko, syempre concern lang ako sa kanya kasi may ubo  pa kasi siya na hindi pa nawawala hanggang ngayon.. tigas kasi ng ulo nya!.. hehehe.. pinapayohan para mawala na pero hindi pa rin nakikinig!.. haay!!.. heheheh.. ewan ko sa kanya pero ok lang bsta kung kaya nya, dapat kayanin niya
