[Publius]

The Schlegel brothers, fine poets on their own, translated Shakespeare into German in the early 1800s, and as a result the German speaking world discovered Shakespeare as a modern author rather than an old master. They kept the meter and rhyme scheme intact, and they even held onto the bawdy Renaissance wordplay.

Enter Schubert. He wanted to set the songs in the Shakespeare plays in such a way that they could be sung in either German or English, and the Schlegel translation let him pull it off. Of course it was all done to get his music into the British and American markets and make a bundle. This is one of his best, very late Schubert, sung in English.

Schubert: "Who is Sylvia?"

JO STAFFORD: “BEGIN THE BEGUINE”

What makes this song such a great entry to the Great American Songbook is that it can move from one style to another effortlessly. If the Andrews Sisters could do an up-tempo jitterbug arrangement, Jo could slow it down a bit in 1951 to a more sedate Latin dance without anything being lost. Her vocal range is amazing.

There are quite a few songs in Shakespeare’s plays, but no notation, so it’s OK to make up new tunes for them.

That one is truly lovely...but heck, it’s Shakespeare and Schubert! What’s not to like? :-)

Back in 1968, there was an off-Broadway musical titled "Your Own Thing" that was a rock musical based on "Twelfth Night." Some of the songs were from Shakespeare with Gretchen Cryer writing the music.

"Come Away Death"

CHARLIE PARKER: “BEGIN THE BEGUINE”

It was inevitable that the be-bop movement would latch onto this tune, and Bird’s rendition sounds like it came right out of a Havana nightclub. This is an exceptional recording. Backing him in 1952 were Benny Harris on trumpet, Walter Bishop on piano, Teddy Kotick on bass, Max Roach on drums, and Jose Mangual on bongos.

Charlie Parker: “Begin the Beguine”

I remember the album cover, but not the show.

I do, however remember “Beyond the Fringe” with peter Cooke and Dudley Moore.

This is from “Any Way You Like IT”

Miller: Get thee to Gloucester, Essex. Do thee to Wessex, Exeter.
Fair Albany to Somerset must eke his route.
And Scroop, do you to Westmoreland, where shall bold York
Enrouted now for Lancaster, with forces of our Uncle Rutland,
Enjoin his standard with sweet Norfolk’s host.
Fair Sussex, get thee to Warwicksbourne,
And there, with frowning purpose, tell our plan
To Bedford’s tilted ear, that he shall press
With most insensate speed
And join his warlike effort to bold Dorset’s side.
I most royally shall now to bed,
To sleep off all the nonsense I’ve just said.
They exit. Re-enter all four as rustics. Jumpers over heads - very rustic!
The ‘four rustics’
Miller: Is it all botched up, then, Master Puke?
Bennett: Aye, and marry is, good Master Snot.
Moore: ‘Tis said our Master, the Duke, hath contrived some naughtiness against his son, the King.
Cook: Aye, and it doth confound our merrymaking.
Miller: What say you, Master Puke? I am for Lancaster, and that’s to say for good shoe leather.
Cook: Come speak, good Master Puke, or hath the leather blocked up thy tongue?
Moore: Why then go trippingly upon thy laces, good Grit.
Cook: Art leather laces thy undoing?
Moore: They shall undo many a fair boot this day.
All: Come, let’s to our rural revel and with our song enchant our King.

Like all good Shakespeare it ends with a battle.
Enter Cook and Miller, with swords.
Miller: Why then was this encounter nobly entertained
And so by steel shall this our contest be buckled up.
Come, sir. Let’s to it.
Cook: Let’s to it.
Good steel, thou shalt thyself in himself embowel.
Miller: Come, sir. (They fight)
Ah ha, a hit!
Cook: No, sir, no hit, a miss! Come, sir, art foppish i’ the mouth.
They fight again. Cook ‘hits’ Miller.
Miller: Oh, God, fair cousin, thou hast done me wrong. (He dies)
Now is steel twixt gut and bladder interposed.
Cook: Oh, saucy Worcester, dost thou lie so still?
Enter Bennett
Bennett: Now hath mortality her tithe collected
And sovereign Albany to the worms his corpse committed.
Yet weep we not; this fustian life is short,
Let’s on to Pontefract to sanctify our court.

[Publius]

I recall a sermon by Peter Cook based on the Bible verse, “For Esau was a hairy man.”

yes...that is from the same show! LOL!

And Scotland Yard’s response to the Great Train Robbery: “We believe it was the work of thieves.”

Thanks Kathy, no snow here but it's falling in the mountains.

A quiet turkey day for me.

ELLA FITZGERALD: “BEGIN THE BEGUINE”

No compendium of recordings would be complete without the First Lady of Song. Ella did most of her work in the Fifties with Paul Weston’s backing, but for this 1956 effort she worked with Buddy Bregman. This version turns it into a foxtrot for less strenuous ballroom dancing. Her diction and phrasing are impeccable.

Ella Fitzgerald: “Begin the Beguine”

[left that other site]

Yes! LOL!

“Beyond the Fringe” was the missing link between Gilbert & Sullivan and Monty Python.
