They Should Have Known - Sgt. Major [from The Funhouse Comp Thing]

Lessons From The Ancestors - Steve Peters

 

A study in the modalities of human vocalization, paned by bells. The whole is gorgeously rendered, but the successive joints (if successive is exactly the right word here) between bell segment and MOHV segment, and from MOHV segment to bell segment, are exquisitely timed and tuned, each flip a revelation in both directions.

 

Mohrentanz - Tielman Susato - David Di Fiore

 

In listening to older music I am often struck by how differently the balance of focus among beat, meter, and phrase is handled from composer to composer, and from century to century. Here they come out almost equal to my ear, with phrase perhaps slyly holding a finger on the scale.

 

Quai fora, donna - Gesualdo - Consort of Musicke, Anthony Rooley

 

The textural shifts are as alarming as the harmonic.

 

Konzert in F BWV 1046 - J.S. Bach - Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, Herbert von Karajan

Sonata in C minor Wq. 48 #4 - C.P.E. Bach - Bob van Asperen

 

A hall of parenthetical mirrors, the infra-movement variety of affect looks forward to the Mahlerian world-symphonies.

Quartet in E-flat Op. 1. #2 - Haydn - Tatrai Quartet

 

This lives in its hinges.

 

Symphony in B-flat K74g - Mozart - Academy of Ancient Music, Christopher Hogwood

 

But this lives in how firmly it anchors the sense of scale-degree inside the particulars of its melodies.

 

Sonata in G op. 49 #2 - Beethoven - Arthur Schnabel

Symphony in B-flat D.485 - Schubert - Vienna Philharmonic, Karl Münchinger

 

And this, though the finale is phoned in, lives in the highly charged color of its modulatory sequences.

 

In Session at the Tintinabulary

 

easily the best guitar case of the bunch
