Liebesleid Love's Sorrow Theme

196 Words1 Pages
The album opens up with “Liebesleid” (Love’s Sorrow). Originally composed by Fritz Kreisler in 1905, Liebesleid is an incredibly emotional and remorseful piece. However, when played on the theremin, it strangely becomes romantic. I have heard Liebesleid played so many times on the violin with the same emotion conveyed - sorrow. To hear Liebesleid played romantically is a very strange experience. And I love it. This cover of Liebesleid is fantastic and changes the tone and feel of the song to the complete opposite of how it was “meant” to sound.

The next song is “Bach: Suit for orchestra no 3 in D major” and it sounds awful. This piece has quite a few low notes and the theremin sounds drone-y and it becomes physically painful to listen to

Among his many great compositions, his piece “Chant, Op 12, No. 1 "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" is one that has influenced many individuals. The form of the song starts softly with the low pitches of the piano and then the violin accompanies it. Around two minutes into the song, the pitches of the violin changes to very high pitched for about forty seconds, and then the song goes back to its normal texture until the song ends. The texture of the song is polyphonic. As the violin is the instrument that is the main instrument in this piece, the piano accompanies it with its harmony of low and high pitches.

I read an Ethnography called "A Song Of Longing, An Ethiopian Journey", by Kay Kaufman Shelemay. Shelemay gathered a good amount of religious music in a town of Gondar, a city in Ethiopia. The Ethiopian rules and regulations upset her research and ended up studying the Ethiopian Christian service in Addis Ababa. During that time, she met and married a Jewish businessman, Jack Shelemay, from a Middle Eastern (Aden), whose family was permanently settled in Ethiopia. " A Song Of Longing" is not a book that was said it to be, she late changed it and made it about Ethiopian religious music, and also a story of Kaufman 's field experience.

The theme presented in the poem Temptation by Alden Nowlan is about men succumbing to the want of pride and recognition of their works. The boy exhibited in the poem is one of the many factors in which are tempting the father into allowing his arrogance to get the better of his decisions. This is shown when the boy states that his father’s “hands are strong,” which goads the father into accepting the challenge that his son had just initiated. If the father had refused his sons bait, then his pride would have been wounded through him not proving his physical strength. The structure of the poem shifts when the father refuses his son with no conviction in his voice.

Although this is somewhat long duration compared to other music that listened before, the segment of the piece is played repeatedly so that I used to observe this music.

Marked Nicht schnell (not fast), the first Romance begins with a piano introduction, setting the somber mood for the melancholy theme in the violin in the key of A minor. Throughout, the violin line has a yearning quality, with moments of euphoric ecstasy in the B section that has the violin soaring above the piano accompaniment. The return of the A section brings back the opening theme, and the searching chromatic figures in the violin bring the piece to a soft, forlorn conclusion.
