Title: SYMPHONIES WRITTEN IN THE YEAR OF MY BIRTH
Post by: bk on November 12, 2021, 12:40:45 AM
Well, you've read the notes, the notes were not written in the year of my birth, and now it is time for you to post until the symphonic cows come home.

And the word of the day is: EDIFY!

So far, Malcolm Arnold Symphony for Strings. Einar Englund Symphony No. 1. Aram Khachaturian Symphony No. 3. Arthur Honneger Symphony No. 4. Ernest Krenek Symphony No. 4. Gian Francesco Malipiero Symphony No. 5 and 6. Bohuslav Martinu Symphony No. 5. Vincent Persichetti Symphony No. 3. Sergei Prokofiev Symphony No. 6. Roger Sessions Symphony No. 2. Eduard Tubin Symphony No. 5. Edmund Rubbra Symphony No. 5. Harold Shapero Symphony for Classical Orchestra. Vagn Holmboe Symphony No. 6. Witold Lutoslawski Symphony No. 1.

Amazing how many fifth symphonies were written in the year of my birth. What's even more amazing is that I think I have recordings of all of the symphonies listed above. However, as great as some of those are, there are two compositions written in the year of my birth that are all-time favorites: Samuel Barber's Knoxville: Summer of 1915 and Korngold's violin concerto.

Operas written in the year of my birth include Benjamin Britten's Albert Herring, Gottfied von Einem's Dantons Tod, Gian Carlo Menotti's The Telephone, and Virgil Thomson's The Mother of us All.

Some shows that opened in the year of my birth: Allego, Brigadoon, Finian's Rainbow, High Button Shoes, Street Scene, and in London, a revue called Together Again - ironic as I would write a show called Together Again.

Some interesting films from the year of my birth: Nightmare Alley, Miracle on 34th Street, Out of the Past, Black Narcissus, The Lady from Shanghai, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Good News, The Bishop's Wife, Dark Passage, Angel and the Badman, Kiss of Death, Gentleman's Agreement, The Paradine Case, A Double Life, Life with Father, The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer, Brute Force, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Odd Man Out, Monsieur Verdoux, Secret Beyond the Door, Forever Amber, Body and Soul, Ride the Pink Horse, The Egg and I, T-Men, Daisy Kenyon, My Favorite Brunette, Mother Wore Tights, The Unsuspected, Captain from Castile, It Always Rains on Sunday, Down to Earth, The Brasher Doubloon, The Devil Thumbs a Ride, The Perils of Pauline,  and many others. Not a bad bunch of films.

TOD

Jacques Rivette’s Out 1 (1971), an 8-episode film running about 13 hours total, that for the purposes of this post shall defy explanation. I’ve watched the first four episodes in the past three days, in conjunction with reading up on the making of it, and I plan on enjoying two more today. It’s a dark and rainy day off, so it’s perfect for that and for catching up on this week’s episodes of

9-1-1 and
La Brea.

Other TOD ketchup:

I am remiss in neglecting to say that last week I watched one of DR Elmore’s favorite Hammers, Vampire Circus. I had seen it only once years ago, and it was quite enjoyable. There’s an extra feature on the disc about the surprisingly popular joint theme of circuses and horror, which I find fascinating.

I then watched Hammer’s Countess Dracula, also a bit unusual and rather interesting, and I look forward to returning to that one to hear the commentary with actress Ingrid Pitt.

Next Monday we are going to have temperatures in the low 30's - and I needed to get an ice scraper for the Smarty.  I looked on Wednesday at WalMart, but I didn't see any.

I came home and looked them up and found out that they were in aisle N30.....

Today I planned to go to Ollie's, Goodwill, and then WalMart.....

On the way I realized that the only reason I was going to Ollie's - a 15% off an entire purchase coupon - had been left at home....so that is postponed until Monday.

I found a nice Greek bust and a CLUE game for the display case next summer at Goodwill.

I found my ice scraper at WalMart - so my trip was successful!

Well folks, this was truly a -- well, I guess we'll call it a ME day -- spent almost wholly on the couch watching just what I said I would watch, nothing more and nothing less, breaking only to eat and check in online a couple of times. I had half planned on bringing something to eat from the outside world, but I've decided to stay in and scrounge through the fridge.

The weather was ridiculous this morning and early afternoon, with yet another deluge, though thankfully, it had been a couple of weeks since the last one. A fine, fine day to stay in.

Nice shower head George.  I like that it has the extra spray handle.  I miss the one we had in Ashland.

My previous shower just had one spray handle, but it was on a hose, so that was nice.  This one, since it has the main shower head and an extra spray handle, doesn't put out much water pressure because my faucet is the kind with one handle where you can only control the temperature.  I can't turn up the pressure, only turn up the heat. :-\

Of the many reasons Keith wanted to switch to this gym was the location.  With the previous gym we would get caught in that those traffic jams when heading home.  Now we get off before the back-up.

To our shock, today we would have been caught in it.  Not only wasn't traffic moving in the opposite direction, when we exited the freeway onto the normally quiet street there was five times the usual number of cars.  They were all exiting the freeway and going back they way they came from.

Sorry, DR Jrand71, after 50 years it is all Greek to me!

The first line is Pericles. The last is Athens. I’m not finding anything for the middle line.

Friday evening greetings!  I’d warned the person in charge that I might not make it to work at the holiday bazaar today if I had a booster reaction.  What I didn’t expect was being trapped in our house all day by the street repair crew that poured concrete and spent the rest of the day smoothing it over.  Hope they found someone else to take money at the bazar…

Wow.  Had you been warned it would take that long?

We keep reminding ourselves that we VOTED for these street repairs to happen.

Jeanne, with David, we plot together, come up with the characters together (although in this case, this was his initial idea so he had the characters - I did add some details to them and one key character). We work out the story beats and then, because he's still nervous about being in the same space, as we did on The Brain, we split up scenes - I'll write two scenes, he'll write the following two, and so it goes. When it's all done, we read through it and begin making it all of a piece.
