HALLOWEEN: SPOOKY CLASSICAL MUSIC

SCHUBERT: “THE DWARF”

Matthias von Collin was a contemporary of Wordsworth and Coleridge, and his poem “The Dwarf” is as fantastic as the Ancient Mariner. It’s Stephen King filtered through a morbid German sensibility. Schubert set this little masterpiece about ritual murder to music at age 25.

This video has Japanese subtitles, so I’ll supply the English lyrics and commentary.

It begins in A minor with the fate motif’s rhythm of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony in the left hand.

In the dim light the mountains already fade;
The ship drifts on the sea’s smooth swell.
With the queen and her dwarf on board.

She gazes up at the high arching vault.
At the blue distance, interwoven with light,
Streaked with the pale Milky Way.

Frannie ratchets up the tension by modulating to C minor. The queen decides that her horoscope says she is to die now, and she’s not going to fight the stars.

”Stars, never yet have you lied to me,”
She cries out, “Soon now I shall be no more.
You tell me so; yet in truth I shall die gladly.”

The dwarf’s verses shift down to B minor and then back to C minor, ending with a triumphal C Major leading to A minor. The Beethoven Fifth motif is openly stated in the left hand.

Then the dwarf comes up to the queen, begins
To tie the cord of red silk about her neck,
And weeps, as if he would soon go blind with grief.

He speaks: “You are yourself to blame for this suffering,
Because you have forsaken me for the king;
Now your death alone can revive joy within me.

”Though I shall forever hate myself
For having brought you death by this hand,
Yet now you must grow pale for an early grave.”

Schubert plays his trump card, a shift from A minor to a sickening A Major, as he peers into the queen’s deranged mind. Only the great composers can pull this off. Master and servant are reversed. The queen pleads, but yet the major key indicates a masochistic longing for death.

She lays her hand on her heart, so full of youthful life,
And heavy tears flow from her eyes
Which she would raise to heaven in prayer.

At the words, “She says,” the cord is pulled tight, and the dwarf strangles her. At the end of this verse, the Beethoven fate motif is very obvious.

”May you reap no sorrow from my death!”
She says – then the dwarf kisses her pale cheeks,
Whereupon her senses fade.

It ends in a bleak A minor.

The dwarf looks upon the lady in the grip of death:
He lowers her with his own hands deep into the sea.
His heart burns with such longing for her,
He will never again land on any shore.

This is Waltraud Meier accompanied by Joseph Breinl.

Schubert: “Der Zwerg”, D. 771

To: AZamericonnie; All
Jack Bruce was born in Glasgow in 1943. His parents travelled extensively in Canada and the USA and young Jack attended 14 different schools. He finished his formal education at Bellahouston Academy and the Royal Scottish Academy of Music, to which he won a scholarship for cello and composition.

He left the academy and Scotland at the age of 16 and eventually found his way to London where he became a member of the influential Alexis Korner's Blues Inc, where Charlie Watts, later to join the Rolling Stones, was the drummer. He then played in a number of bands throughout the early 60s, including John Mayall's Blues Breakers and Manfred Mann before joining Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker in Cream in 1966.

Cream split up in November 1968 at the height of their popularity, having produced 4 million selling albums in two year's time including the world's first Platinum album.

Jack never again reached the commercial heights he did with Cream, but his reputation as one of the best bass guitarists in the business grew throughout the subsequent decades and as we'll see, he played with many of the greatest musicians of our time as well as wrote some of Rock's undeniable classics. Here's Jack with Irishman Gary Moore and former Cream band mate Ginger Baker in 1994.

HALLOWEEN: SPOOKY CLASSICAL MUSIC

SAINT-SAÊNS: “THE MACABRE DANCE”

This is one of Camille Saint-Saën’s best bon-bons, a Halloween classic. Catch that fugue in the middle and how at 5:10 he plays the two themes on top of each other.

This is Gustavo Dudamel conducting the Teresa Carreño Youth Orchestra of Venezuela.
