William Blake – Songs of Innocence and Experience – Part 1 of 8 http://www.celticmoment.com/1042-william-blake-songs-of-innocence-and-experience-part-1-of-8/ http://www.celticmoment.com/1042-william-blake-songs-of-innocence-and-experience-part-1-of-8/#comments Thu, 26 Jan 2012 04:50:18 +0000 Titania http://www.celticmoment.com/1042-william-blake-songs-of-innocence-and-experience-part-1-of-8/
Many attempts have been made to set Blake’s “Songs of Innocence and Experience” to music, including classical composers, William Bolcom (1984), Benjamin Britten and Ralph Vaughan Williams, and folk singers Greg Brown (1987), and Finn Coren.” The attempt I am most familiar with is by hip poet, Allen Ginsberg, who accompanied himself on harmonium on his 1970 recording. As a lover of Blake’s poetry I decided to try recording the complete collection of poems, set partly to original music and partly to adaptations of folk tunes. It is presented here in eight videos, with some assistance from my sister, Annette, also a lover of Blake, and my nephew, Lachlan. William Blake (1757-1827), now famous for his unique poetic and artistic vision, was not recognised in his own lifetime. His incredibly rich and imaginative poetry expresses a romantic and mystical view of the world, and, though he loved the Bible, an extreme hostility to established religion and the conventional view of marriage, which earned him a reputation for madness or at least eccentricity. Blake believed Innocence and Experience were the two contrary states of the human soul, and both essential for life. The poems in “Songs of Innocence” either express a child’s point of view or are about children. Many have a matching poem in “Songs of Experience”, giving a different and darker perspective.Though Blake believed children needed to become experienced, he blamed social exploitation, such as child labour, and dogmatic …

Six Shelley Songs by Jason Thorpe Buchanan were composed in the summer of 2008. Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822) wrote these poems between 1814 and his unexpected death in 1822, when he drowned at sea. He is known for having been expelled from Oxford for distributing a pamphlet entitled “The Necessity of Atheism”. He was married twice, leaving his first wife shortly after having written Away!, later meeting Mary Shelley, soon to be author of Frankenstein and daughter of William Godwin, a literary figure whom Shelley idolized. He lost two of the three children he had with Mary Shelley between 1818 and 1819. His texts have been criticized for their seemingly abstract surface aesthetic, as well as being called “splendidly nebulous”. With these six songs I have attempted to capture the essence of Shelley’s writing and depict the well-crafted romantic imagery contained in these poems. I hope that in doing so I manage to show their “splendidly nebulous” nature in my music. Music, When Soft Voices Die (1821) – PB Shelley| Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory– Odors, when sweet violets sicken, Live within the sense they quicken. Rose leaves, when the rose is dead, Are heaped for the beloved’s bed; And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone, Love itself shall slumber on. Nicole Yazolino – Soprano Carolyn Villavicencio Grossmann – Piano Performance Date: Nov. 2, 2008, Las Vegas, NV For more information on the composer, please visit www.jasonthorpebuchanan.com Score now …

Tiny Dancer, Elton John
Dancing Where The Stars Go Blue, The Corrs with Bono (the original)
Kiss the Girl, The Little Mermaid

I want it on a beach with a Mermaid and Pirate theme…since my dream man is a pirate and people say I am a mermaid…(I’m a swimmer and a dancer so they say I fit the Little Mermaid persona). That is my fairytale wedding.
The wedding would be fast. I hate long weddings. However Kiss the Girl is more of the theme of the reception. When the Stars Go Blue is the 1st dance. Tiny Dancer is the song played when the wedding starts. I walk down the aisle to a song from Lord of the Rings called Into the West. Gorgeous…
