Hello there and welcome to experience it has been a book and there. Are all the music this we did and brought to you under a Latin title Dona Nobis patchin which is taken from the old Latin Mass It's an ancient prayer Lord give us peace I think this is where great music comes in great music can heal the human spirit and that's what I've been counting on all week long . Let's dive right into a mini concert from one of my favorite composers more research. I suppose Ravel's most famous piece is Bolero and then after that maybe deafness in clay is a pretty wild orchestral display pieces but when Phil had a great gift for melody and simplicity and that's what we're going to sample now at the beginning of this program let's start up with the movement from a p.c. Chord at them both to Cooper and there were a family of great French musicians in the age of the movies before the French Revolution and one more response we turn home from the 1st row where he was an ambulance driver and the spears nearly destroyed his house he was too old to be driving an ambulance by the front but there he was we came home and started to really take inspiration and music of the 18th century here from a set of pieces he entitled don't bode a good brand which is sort of am a monument or a 9 homage the ground for me has the 3rd moment the minuet. The There's there's. That music I just love to hear it it's written around the same time that reveille was at work on the ballet Daphnis and Chloe This is the gentle side of arvo a piece written for 2 little kids children close friends of his story of Beauty And The Beast that was being one chum conducting this song from a moniker custard as you can Maurice read off from 1010. Let's get one more loving little piece from around that same time from Eric sati what a number of pieces which he entitled shame to but the who's the great oboist John De Lancey playing with the London Symphony Orchestra or he said his end up with the number 2. Mood. John De Lancey the oboe soloist with the lens of the orchestra shammed up at the number 2 of Eric's a t. John De Lancey was the subtle Oh Bourse of the Philadelphia Orchestra turn and time I was playing with him we were on the road one time and I said Mr the let's f. On a record in a shop you're playing with a London Symphony Orchestra he said Yeah I was very funny I want to go and sit in the middle of the string section when every quarter that but then came somebody from the government said no Mr Lancer you're an American citizen and you don't have the proper visa so to record this piece you have to stand out in front like a violin sorest And any case it's a beautiful and very slow dreamlike performance of music a very slight the goodness by John De Lancey. You're tuned into exploring music and all week long we've been trying to find peaceful music Dona Nobis Potch Him Lord of gratis piece the old prayer drop us a line let us know I like the show write to us via our website exploring music dot au argy. Just a few more peaceful pieces here at the end of this week of peaceful music but profound pieces let's turn to create music from Beethoven when the late quartets Opus 130 in b. Flat major The 5th movement is marked cover Tina and it gives a tempo indication adagio Motu as bonus Yuval dodgy was very slow and to be played with greatest expression as you hear from the coronary chord that is the cover Tina of Opus 130. The Cuff a teen a from b. To his car 10 b. Flat major 13th quartet it's Opus 130 there's a great coronary quartet recording I said there was music a great peace and calm but in the center that is a very agitated subject quiet kind of agitation and Beethoven makes an unusual marking in this corner you know there's a really short I grew up knowing court for Klemp think when you're bothered but this is new and Backlund it's not quite the same thing it's like when you're really really deeply upset and you can barely even get a breath to say anything about it it's a very kind of quiet oppression and that's but it seems to attack the 1st friendliness in that little section with all the chip it's pathetic it's his breath back and it comes down into the beautiful adagio ornery quartet. And now let's go back to the recording that Jesse Norman made with court was were and their lips divided house orchestra the 4 of us songs every card Strauss which date from 1948 let's hear the last of the 4 less songs in Oben throat which means to me like in the red of the evening sun is going down and me getting some of the opening lines around us the valleys bow the air already darkens only to larks soar amusingly into the haze come close let them flutter sume it will be time to sleep is just a Norman with her lips a given to a circus or when court was or him up in throat the final of the 4 The songs have recurred Strauss. Those truths in the flute at the end I think represent the 2 larks that the part talks about the 2 like soaring and singing their song into the sunset the last lines there and surprise fears in Vo find their muted a weary we are of wondering could this perhaps be death and the horn plays this. Strauss is answering the question it's not death it's Transfiguration as the tune from his earlier turn point towards him for clarity death and transfiguration beautiful music from current Strauss sung exceptionally beautifully by Jesse Norman with chord Mazor lovingly conducting the labs that divide us orchestra. An hour down the last inning and I think we'd better play the piece that has been on my mind all week long there is the final section to be minor Mass Robert Shaw and the Atlanta Symphony and the menace of a chorus Dona Nobis by Cham. A Lurd grant us peace and Lord that is revel in the glory of it all too that's the finale of the great b. Minor Mass on Sebastian Bach he starts in b. Minor here. And winds appear in d. Major. He made it home to d. Major And so of way this week has been great having you along this week where we pursued Busiek we were hoping would bring a sense of peace so much beautiful music man I'm looking back through the final of all the beautiful music I had on and couldn't fit in this week Welcome back to this topic some time Dona Nobis bottom part 2 the meantime have a great weekend and I'll see you next week exploring music is produced by Bill sleep in his city Guillard at the b.f.m.
