Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

It's Tunes For Our Troops!

[Publius]

The year 1894 was to be a bonanza year for Sergei Rachmaninov. The 21 year old composer produced a set of 4-handed piano duets labeled simply Six Pieces, Opus 11.

The first is a contemplative boat song.

Rachmaninov: Barcarolle, Op. 11/1

The second is a lively tune with a beautiful “trio” section.

Scherzo, Op. 11/2

The third is a sad folk theme.

”Russian Theme”, Op. 11/3

The fourth shows a fun-loving side of the composer.

Waltz, Op. 11/4

The fifth is a little love song.

Romance, Op. 11/5

The final piece is a Russian folk theme used by many composers, including Beethoven. What an amazing ending!

”Gloria”, Op. 11/6

Did not know that Pete had died of cholera.

As an aside, my Father was stationed from 1963-65 at Naval Medical Research Unit #2 in Taipei, Taiwan, ROC. There he was a member of a crack team of anti-cholera researchers under the command of Capt. Robert A. Phillips, MC, USN, who traveled about the Far East any time a cholera epidemic occurred and treated the patients with a "cholera cocktail", which evolved as they learned more about the disease. He was sent at various times in that deployment to Manila, Singapore, Bangkok, and Saigon, among other places.

My Father's role in the team was as a Clinical Physiologist - he obtained his Ph.D from Georgetown University in Physiology and Biophysics in 1963. His work at Georgetown was concerned with in active transport of sodium across the cell membrane. This was key in formulating the cocktail - most cholera patients do not die from the disease itself - they die from dehydration. The cholera cocktail prevented this from occurring. Dr. Phillips won the Lasker Award for his work.

Almost 50 years later, one of my prized possession is my Father's NAMRU-2 beret with a crest bearing the legend "Veni, Vidi, Vici Vibrium." I'm proud my Father had a part in this work.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

The English nobility were always marrying first cousins, which might explain some of the -- ahem! -- idiosyncracies of the Brits.

The Russians didn't do too much of that, and next week we'll get into the problems with the Russian Orthodox Church, which objected to the union.

If you want to see the morals of liberals, check the post on Tchaikovsky. Once you understand how certain members of the nobility behaved, you can understand the popularity of people like Lenin.

In 1894, Sergei Rachmaninov was slowly working his way toward writing a symphony. He had written two separate first movements in his student days, but he had never gotten farther than that. He now concentrated on writing pieces for orchestra that were tone poems, carefully avoiding the symphony for which he wasn’t sure he was ready. This 19 minute piece is another step in that direction. But he was still young, only 21, so he had time.

Rachmaninov: “Bohemian Caprice”, Op. 12
