When this selection arrived to my inbox, I just knew that I had to post this beautiful piece. I'd heard it many times before, but never knew the name of the composer.<br /><br />How much forgotten music awaits us -- if only we take the time to search for it!<br /><br />Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-74274036926780057652015-05-10T07:17:14.432-05:002015-05-10T07:17:14.432-05:00AHA!

In fact I didn't even know Mouret composed it. I reconstructed it by ear (not very hard if you've been well trained in harmony, counterpoint and music dictation) and played it very well. It sounds quite "Handelian" so I knew it would seem perfectly appropriate. What I did NOT expect was that <b>NO ONE –– <i>not even the members of my CHOIR</i> –– recognized it for what it was</b>.<br /><br />I found that disheartening.<br /><br />I realized then that I could play <i>"How're Ya Gonna Keep 'em Down On the Farm After They've Seen Paree"</i> or <i>"How could You Believe M When I Said I Loved You, When You Know I've been a Liar All My Life?"</i> and no ine would have noticed THAT either.<br /><br />Yes, it's funny, but it's also extremely depressing to someone who has had a superior musical education and a strong desire to excel in the field.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for this –– and your other attempts to interest people in extraordinary music and other things not connected to the perpetual Nauseous Headache of POLITICS.FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-17454898156750140712015-05-10T05:25:54.166-05:002015-05-10T05:25:54.166-05:00Good selection.Good selection.Bunkervillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427978686579892380noreply@blogger.com
