UPC: 038081542232. English. Johnny Mercer.
This Johnny Mercer, Harry Warren tune was premiered by jazz legend Louis Armstrong and nominated for an Academy Award in 1938. The lighted-hearted, innocently flirtatious song has since become an iconic standard. Jay's fantastic arrangement includes the opening verse, some easy scat singing, and plenty of jazz sonorities throughout. Add the rhythm section SoundPax for even more style.

The Dakota (or Sioux) Indians from the American states of North and South Dakota form the central figures in this composition. The work consists of five movements in which the culture and history of these Indians have been portrayed through musical paintings by making use of an old South Dakota Indian melody. Die Dakota- (oder Sioux-) Indianer der amerikanischen Staaten Nord- und Süd-Dakota sind die zentralen Figuren in dieser Komposition. Das Werk besteht aus fünf Sätzen, in welchen die Kultur und die Geschichte dieser Indianer dargestellt werden. In einigen Sätzen verwendete Jacob de Haan eine alte indianische Melodie aus Süd-Dakota.1. The Great Spirit (‘Der Große Geist’)Die Kultur der Dakota-Indianer war der irdischen und der spirituellen Welt verbunden. Sie glaubten, dass der Große Geist die Erde schuf, indem er einen schwarzen Ball auf das Wasser warf und dann aus einem zweiten Ball alles Lebendige schuf.2. Buffalo Hunting (‘Büffeljagd’)Auf einen mächtigenBüffel zuzureiten erforderte Können und Mut. Die Männer ergriffen jedoch mit Freude die Chance, sich selbst auf der Jagd zu beweisen.3. Smoking the Pipe (‘Die Pfeife rauchen’)Die Pfeife galt als Friedenssymbol und wurde unter Männern und Stämmen benutzt. Die Pfeife rauchen besiegelte einen Bund des Vertrauens und heilige, Pfeife rauchende Männer nahmen so Kontakt mit dem Großen Geist auf.4. The Ghost Dance (‘Der Geistertanz’)Dieser religiöse Tanz der verlorenen Hoffnung basierte auf Gebet, Tanz und Gesang. Im Jahre 1890 engagierten die Soldaten Geistertänzer an einem Ort namens Wounded Knee.5. Pilgrims at Wounded Knee (‘Pilger am Wounded Knee‘)Die Tragödie von Wounded Knee ist sehr schmerzhaft für die Indianer. Viele pilgern noch immer zu der heiligen, vom Wind verwehten Hügelspitze, auf der so viele Unschuldige den Tod fanden. Les Indiens Dakota (Sioux) des États américains du Dakota du Nord et du Dakota du Sud sont au centre de cette fresque musicale, dans laquelle Jacob de Haan dépeint certains aspects de leur culture et de leur histoire. Dans plusieurs mouvements de cette œuvre, le compositeur a intégré une mélodie indienne ancienne provenant du Dakota du Sud.1. Le Grand Esprit : la culture des Indiens Dakota était liée la terre et au monde des esprits. Dans leurs croyances, le Grand Esprit avait créé la terre en jetant une balle noire dans l’eau, puis il prit une deuxième balle et créa les êtres vivants. 2. La chasse au bison : courir bride abattue vers un bisonvigoureux nécessitait beaucoup d’adresse et de courage. Pourtant, les hommes attendaient impatiemment l’occasion de pouvoir faire leurs preuves la chasse.3. Fumer le calumet: le calumet était le symbole de la paix. On l’utilisait pour sceller une entente entre les hommes et les nations. Fumer le calumet était un gage de bonne volonté. Et lorsqu’un homme-médecine fumait le calumet, il communiait avec le Grand Esprit. 4. The Ghost Dance (“La Danse des Espritsâ€) Pour faire renaître l’espoir, les Indiens exécutaient une danse religieuse accompagnée d’incantations et des chants rituels. En 1890 Wounded Knee, l’armée fédérale a ouvert le feu sur tous ceux qui célébraient la Ghost Dance. 5. Les pèlerins de Wounded Knee : la tragédie de Wounded Knee est un moment douloureux dans l’histoire des nations indiennes. Ils sont encore nombreux faire un pèlerinage sur cette colline sacrée, balayée par le vent, où tant d’innocents ont été massacrés.

Kafka's ouvre is interspersed with moments of utter anxiety. Moments in which, induced by adrenalin, the blood pressure rises. Blood vessels which seem to constrict, pump enormous quantities of blood the pressure of which might make one believe that the head is going to explode. In The Judgment, an innocent opening story leads to one of the most unusual showdowns in world literature: The beloved father sentences his son to death by drowning; the son immediately obeys since his life, his existence almost explodes, becomes blurred, dissolves at the moment the judgment is pronounced. For me, the 'self' driving him - I imagine this as a high sound in the inner ear - could only be a soprano. This is why the actual 'fall' has turned out to be clear, almost friendly and why Georg only seems to want to breathe a soft and quiet 'Dear parents, I have always loved you' during the fall while no longer keeping the singing tone, shortly before death, almost casually, takes hold of him. Christian Jost.

Here's a memorable and humorous contrast for your winter concert. A gregarious student or staff member in the guise of âBeethoven returnedâ suddenly appears on your concert stage in this comedy skit for band. The music begins as an innocent Christmas medley, but by the time it's over, âBeethovenâ owns your band, and you, the director, are vanquished from the stage. Of course there are lots of laughs along the way.

This popular work reflects a shift in Mahler's musical development, as he formulated the sophisticated idea of the program. In this case, the poetic idea traces the progress from experience---as represented by the first movement---to the innocent, childlike vision of Paradise.

Drawing on the contrast of darkness against light, this innovative work is menacing at times, seemingly innocent at others, and nearly out of control at its most volatile moments. A static rhythmic pulse forms the backdrop for the entire piece as shadows seem to move throughout darkness in a playful yet deceitful way. An invigorating and unique work!

This tender anthem portrays the true significance of the nativity through the innocent inquisitiveness of a child’s question about the Little Bitty Babe in a Manger. The answer is that He is God’s beloved Son through whom God’s work will be done. (From the cantata Images of Adoration, SATB—65/2061L).

Žibuoklė Martinaitytė tells about the background of Aletheia (2022) for mixed choir (SSSSAAAATTTTBBBB): Aletheia is variously translated from Greek as unconcealedness, revealing or unclosedness. It is uncovering of the Truth - the one we are afraid to face, the truth that can only be expressed directly through the pre-verbal communication. How do you find words for the horrors of the war, for all unimaginable global atrocities? How do you even allow yourself to feel it out? Solely through art, through music that offer a safe space and a formalized framework for processing these accumulated complex emotions and sharing them with others in a moment. This piece has no verbal text and it is based on various combinations of vowels and consonants, thus connecting us on a deeper level through the immediate emotional experience.The war in Ukraine in spring of 2022 had an impact on all of us and shattered my deeply rooted Lithuanian identity. When the freedom is threatened and innocent people are dying, it is hard to make sense out of the reality. Yet there is poetry even in the worst nightmares. I was imagining that the only instrument people have even in situations of destruction, in the midst of the war, is their VOICE. It brought back memories of my youth when Singing revolution was taking place in the Baltic countries. Human voice was the only weapon that people used to express their determination for freedom and independence. Voice is our first and the very last instrument we have in our lifetime. Thinking in these terms brings almost a sacred dimension to the voice as an expression of the life itself - from the very first baby's scream until the last breath and whisper.Duration c. 15'The works of New York -based Lithuanian composer Žibuoklė Martinaitytė (b. 1973) have been lauded as breathtaking and profoundly moving. Her stimulating music bristles with energy and tension and revolves often around the subject of beauty, which she calls both a guiding principle and an aesthetic measure for sonic quality.
