FReeper Canteen - Tunes For Our Troops - 30 March 2013

Our Troops Rock!!! | Canteen DJ's

[Publius]

Duet, Chorus

This duet for Peter and Mary Magdalene was not part of the original production. It’s a little bit of country, marred by a terrible edit at the end on the DVD. Have your box of tissues ready.

Could We Start Again Please?

[Publius]

Aria, Trio, Arias, Spoken Word, Chorus

This set piece is a real tour de force for Judas, using music from previous scenes. He barges into the Temple’s conference room with the music for “Damned for All Time”. Annas and Caiaphas cut him short with the music from “This Jesus Must Die”. But what happens next is absolute horror: Judas takes up “I Don’t Know How to Love Him”, interrupting it with a primal scream. The homoeroticism and horror are actually funny in a sad way. Then Judas makes up his mind. The music is from Judas’ recitative that opens the opera, and he screams his way to his own suicide, blaming it on everybody but himself. The Mainstream Media eggs him on, ending in a Greek chorus.

Judas’ Death

[RegulatorCountry]

Here’s a fine instrumental performance from 1988, a real showcase of Frank Zappa’s brilliance as a guitarist. It’s also timely, lol.

Absolutely splendid, ML! Back in the 90's, when I sang with OSW, we performed Bach's B-minor Mass on a couple of occasions. It rings in my inner ear still - especially the "Cum Sancto Spiritu" and the following "Amen." One of the greatest moments in all the repertoire as far as I'm concerned.



Where are the survivors of the massacre at Benghazi? The silence of the Obama Regime on this question is deafening!

Fiat Justitia, Ruat Coelum!

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)

Welcome back, Kathy! I'm hanging in for a while tonight, but not as late as last night! A little to much of the grape - I began seeing centipedes and snakes, and today I'm full of pains and aches! :)

Recitative, Duet, Chorus, Recitative

This is a tour de force for baritone. It’s the music of the overture, now with lyrics, revised in the Nineties. Note that the chorus is the Mainstream Media. The purpose of Pilate’s screaming rant is that it’s the recitative that changes the key for the next number.

Trial Before Pilate

Aria, Chorus

Ghosts play a role in Shakespeare, and Rodgers and Hammerstein used their hero’s ghost in “Carousel”. Here the ghost of Judas, now in the present, evaluates the whole enterprise and finds much of it wanting, taunting Jesus on the way to Golgotha. This is the part of the 2000 production that raised people’s hackles. The passage at 1:47 is pure Gershwin. Judas almost gets the last word, but Andy slams it shut, a revision from the original production.

Superstar

Spoken Word, Chorus

Everything comes to a screeching halt for the Crucifixion. Andy completely rewrote this scene from the original production. The Seven Last Words of Christ are not accompanied by anything like Haydn, but rather like Georgy Ligeti. Passion music always ends with Jesus’ body being entombed, as does this work. The final sequence is an orchestral setting of the Gethsemane aria in a manner reminiscent of Tchaikovsky. The passage for winds that ends the opera sounds a bit like Richard Strauss. The credits follow.

Crucifixion, John 19:41, Credits

I am trying to find a certain there from JSB’s St John’s passion, but all the You Tubes have the WHOLE THING (over an hour of music) There is a theme in there that I really love, and I can’t find it. (sigh)

Well, we done it. I’ll save my entries for next year. This was a good effort.

[RegulatorCountry]

Here’s another from 1974, amazing, just sort of grooving along live with a nice, ever so slightly warped prog-rock jazz fusion sound and then bam! Off into a wild, organic claymation vision, beautiful and almost giddy then dark and disturbing, swirling, growing, collapsing in upon itself and regenerating then back to objective reality. That’s Zappa for you.

I don’t want to get too caught up in Zappa, talented and entertaining as he can be, though, so this will be the last Zappa YouTube I’ll post tonight.

It’s Midnight here, so I will save that for later.

Thanks for the memories!

Got a big one coming up tomorrow night at the Chapel.
