That would. Allow there and welcome to explain because the McLachlan here last week and this week again we've been pursuing this seem far from an old call Porter tune which is one of my favorites The Love Song finer But how strange the change measured minor major. And minor. And everything in between a lot of modal music as well. Instead of missing from friends list and as you see in yesterday's show I played a little bit of a tune called Green Dolphin Street it's a film Chuen which is based on this melodic progression. To get a guy's. Reduced now to a piece of Francis one of the Hungary and rhapsodies number 11 in a minor in which he follows a simple progression in a minor like Green Dolphin Street ending. But in doing so this evokes the sound of a hunger strike called the chin bloom which is a mallet instrument if you've ever eaten dinner in Hungary and restaurant you know the sound of a chimp or if you heard just a gypsy music for that matter. The interesting thing is that Franz Liszt is ethnically Hungary but he spoke German as a child and he lived in France and when he went back to Hungary as a great big world star one of the world's biggest 1st superstars this couldn't understand any of these speeches of praise of all the Hungary and no woman but he made up for it by learning Hungary and music and here's a marvelous pianist who happens to be a hug Gary and Roma descent in his Georgia she from and he's playing now the Hungary and wraps a number 11 in a minor and you'll hear the progression. Much more beautiful for Mr Schieffer. A. Poll by. The. Mary a. War Room. Where . All. Her thought. The. Gangway was. Where. The air or the nose. The air. The earth or. The airplane or the a.a. . Old. Girl. Or. Boy. Born war the war hero. Sure she for playing brilliantly the game wraps a number 11 in a minor music of Franz Liszt and now let's move on to the next generation of Hungary and composers starring baler by talk was born in the early 18 eighties and actually had studied at the Friends Academy in Budapest I spent an awful lot of time playing hooky going off into deepest Transylvania to collect folk tunes and what he learned there in just a vague it turned his head around it changed the way he thought about music here's the finale of the Divertimento for strings conducted by George sheltie. The in the. The enemy. room. When. The. It was. Cool. With. George sheltie conducting the music of his teacher Bela Bartok the finale of a Divertimento for strings it was a Chicago Symphony in a performance and man he has so many different modes that he uses he delights in sort of suited men country motion it almost is the despair of a theorist to sort them all out but doesn't matter because he's here to effect that it is wonderful the closer you know stare out that the hysteria growing up in Argentina was influenced a bit by by thought but even more by Aaron Copeland. If you look during the time of the great Pan American spirit of friendship thirty's and forty's and fifty's and it was Copeland who gave you Nestor some very good advice conferences you know history that when he opened had come back for starting in Europe with not able as a he's been very sort of not quite European but not american any longer and it was only when he started to add American folk tunes to the mix of his music they cope and became one of America's favorite composers Sheen Astaire took his advice where one little piece from the great my target which is that that so that God chose. Some fantastic that you see music of genius there that's a live concert from the concert about 1978 my starter is playing music of up at the genus there one of his Argentine dancers that dance of the gauchos. That's gets like a little milder and blue this comes from Igor Stravinsky in a mild mood here is $14142.00 is was after the Nazi evasion of Norway at the beginning of the 2nd World War and some studio moguls in l.a. Got the bright idea of asking Chavez King who was living in l.a. At the time to write a score for this picture about the Norwegian people. And she just took a very seriously Actually it was his wife of really have to because she went to a 2nd had bookshop in l.a. And there she found a book filled with the region functions she pointed home and he was charmed and began to use a couple of them. Now and Stravinsky presented his card to the Hollywood lads they took a look at and said I Yes Thanks a lot Igor but that I think we'll have our boy sort of fix it up a little bit you know make it more commercial and everything and Stravinsky said no thank you and as a result those 4 pieces he composed were never used in the film it was given as premier in Cambridge Massachusetts not too long after and in 1905 there was a concert in Paris and another riot broke out like the Rite of Spring this been led by the composer Pierre Boulez was very much in a funk Terry but at the time had some of his passion about hammers and tongs and they made so much racket that the orchestra had to quit playing when you hear this music you will be able to figure out what was bothering them so much I guess these guys what is things to be really really wild and Stravinsky was really amused because he said it seems that what was violent is now accepted his talk about greatest thing and that the amiable intern's is no longer tolerable. Here are 2 of the Norwegian moods of the course of his key and you'll find it's more than tolerable Robert Kraft conducting the orchestra scene looks. Through to. Her. For the. World who. Will. Bend the a. 2 2 During a in a while. When a poor boy grew old. When the water was. It wasn't good by. Faith. By. 100 games. With the. The to do. Sweet Are they hard to imagine what was bothering Pierre Boulez back in 1905 in his concert Parisian wiseguys broke up the concert that music was given his Parisian premier we just heard of performance in which Robert Kraft was leading the orchestra sing groups 2 of Chevys keys for Norwegian mood for Christian soon Norwegian put me in mind of a piece from The Beatles which also put me in mind of one more mode that we haven't talked about embargoes Here's one that starts on c Ionian by name. A major scale up its own story and. Spent a lot of time yesterday on the Phrygian mode. And a little bit on Lydian mode with the Simpsons. And others including Beethoven up a tone from the lead in which starts on f. Is a scale called mixolydian. And says the commission on the bottom is but as of last 7th it doesn't go into a sharp they're. Not this is. When the Beatles took over they play the tune in. Which is very Mixolydian and charming. Yep sitars I was around the time the Beatles met Ravi Shankar the region would Beatles recording for around $165.00 and that is in easy mixolydian So here to be. And now. It's what makes it.

Well over the last few weeks have been racking my brains trying to think of examples of composers using the modes in their compositions and then I was and I thought oh yeah Cheney. Pertwee such an every pocket of composer think of the Oriental character a French Madame Butterfly but then I started to think of Act 3 of Tosca just as an opera feel a great drama and at the end of Act 2 we get one of the most satisfying murders in all of opera are her Owen Floria Tasca wonderful singer and brave woman murders her nemesis scrappy at the head of the secret police has actually over it's good she writes about 20 measures a wonderful French horn unison I think just because he wanted to I'm not sure exactly what it does for the scene but as soon as the horns quit playing we notice that it's night when. It's our Lydian mode. Pretty soon hear the sound of a little shepherd boy singing OSs all of that in June. Is very far away. This is miraculous tunnel scene painting so let some of the horn section and we hear the opening of Act 3 approach news trust and it will fade and jump to the great tenor Aria elusive on list Della sung by no less than Ritchie I know of that are the. The or or or or Poor. Poor. Christ. Why why. Why why why. Why why. Or why. Or why ought. By war war war war war war. I had. One. 2 or are. Or are. You. A little will. Build it is done to run a little boat a low. Well I told a little I love it. On my side on to. The. I'm going out in an ice floe where. Man what music and what shaking from Luciano Pavarotti's a lot your vine list the last act 3 of us go there was Nick Lowe Krishna conducting the national for manic orchestra and that performance. And put Cheney genius here this line. 6 and you never forget it is so vivid for some reason that genius struck a Puccini got me thinking and I thought of another chin sort of mysterious opening which you can't forget either this may seem like one of my modal scales replayed of a stutter and she. Sure. You know where I'm going since here there's knows you don't ever forget your. 'd sheep right here. Is this the mouth or May words by Marilyn Allen Bergman music by Michel Legrand What are you doing the rest of your life is not for me. Well you knew 2. To. Noise and. Since it was noon. I have only one request of you alone. Let's just say that on with more. the love you keep in your. Eye along with him he went to sleep with your. Yeah holy smokes I have to check this out. The high being natural Mr Mel Torme singing at the end what are you doing the rest of your life. Well for the past couple weeks we've been listening to all the fantastic ways composers are found the go from major to minor and back and forth and everything in between and there's one more passage I'd really like to share with you now it always knocks me out when I hear it from the great belly definition quality of Maurice Ravel toward the end the food pleases passage I can't figure out exactly what to call what he's doing his around. This is sharps at the base of the bird nose and then who plays this passage . I did for music. 6 because it's around the featured minor. But it has such a lovely exotic quality to her It always scares me away let's hear the last 2 sections of Daphnis and Chloe in this performance show the lead the orchestra so for Newt the more we are. You. Use. Where. Where. Or when they. Where. You're. The one they. The. Oil. A day. When it. The in. A marvelous performance from Charlotte that's what a New York a symphony the more way out where the final 2 sections of Maurice Ravel was ballet that's this and Chloe and now are coming to the very end of this 2 week adventure following the theme known love song finer But how strange the change from major to minor so I want to hear the song one more time and I found a great recording with Ray Charles and Betty Carter this is from 1981 when Ray Charles was largely known as a blues singer and Betty Carter was just breaking wanted to sing I think the opening of this is the most beautiful singing I've ever heard from Mr Ray Charles Well listen every time we say goodbye. Or will return. We Are a Charles that he Carter knew pretty from 1950 when well thanks for your company is past couple of weeks as we were exploring his theme The Love Song fire by how strange the change from Asia Minor and his latest up some unusual pathways fun to have you along as company.
