Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No.7 in A major – Kaleidoscope Chamber Orchestra (HD 1080p)

The Kaleidoscope Chamber Orchestra performs Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No.7 in A major, Op.92. The concert was recorded at First Presbyterian Church in Santa Monica, on November 23, 2014.

✻

Ludwig van Beethoven completed his Seventh Symphony in 1812, but withheld the first performance until December 8, 1813, in Vienna. It is scored for pairs of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, and trumpets, plus timpani and string choir.

1812 was an eventful year for the very famous, seriously deafened Beethoven. July was especially noteworthy. At Teplitz he finally met Goethe (1749-1832), but was disappointed to find (he felt) an aging courtier who was no longer a firebrand or kindred democrat; worse yet, a musical dilettante. A week before that only meeting of German giants, Beethoven had written the letter to his mysterious "immortal beloved" that was discovered posthumously in a secret drawer. Then, toward the end of the year, he meddled unbidden in the affairs of his youngest brother, Johann, who was cohabiting contentedly with a housekeeper. Somehow, he found time to compose the last of his ten sonatas for violin and piano and to complete a new pair of symphonies – the Seventh and Eighth – both begun in 1809. He introduced the Seventh at a charity concert for wounded soldiers, and repeated it four nights later by popular demand.

Richard Wagner called Symphony No.7 "the apotheosis of the dance", meaning of course to praise its Dionysian spirit. But this oxymoron stuck like feathers to hot tar, encouraging irrelevant and awkward choreography (by Isadore Duncan and Léonide Massine among others) and licensing the music appreciation racket to misinterpret Beethoven's intent as well as his content. Wholly abstract and utterly symphonic, the Seventh was his definitive break with stylistic conventions practiced by Mozart, Haydn, and a legion of lesser mortals who copied them. He stretched harmonic rules, and gave breadth to symphonic forms that Haydn and Mozart anticipated. If, in his orchestral music, Beethoven was the last Austro-German Classicist, he did point those who followed him to the path of Romanticism.

While the poco sostenuto introduction begins by observing time-honored rules of harmony, within 62 measures it modulates from A major to the alien keys of C and F major, then back again! The transition from solemn 4/4 meter to 6/8 for the balance of an evergreen vivace movement (in sonata form) further exemplifies Beethoven's conceptual stretch.

Coming from the 20-minute funeral march of his earlier Eroica Symphony, Beethoven created an allegretto "slow" movement. He established a funerary mood (without its being specifically elegiac) through the repetition of a 2/4 rhythmic motif in A minor, the most somber key of the tempered scale. A minor serves more than an expressive function, moreover; it readies us for the reappearance of F major in a tumultuous five-part Scherzo marked Presto. Two trios go slower (assai meno presto), in D major – a long distance harmonically in 1812 from the work's A major tonic. The beginning of a third trio turns into a short coda capped by five fortissimo chords.

A major finally returns in the final movement. Here more than anywhere else in his orchestral music, Beethoven became a race-car driver. As in the "slow" movement, the rhythm is 2/4, but sonata-form replaces ABA. And there's a grand coda longer than the exposition, the development, or the reprise, which, furthermore, begins in B minor! But modulations bring it back to A major in time for a heart-pounding final lap with the accelerator pressed to the floor.

Kaleidoscope Chamber Orchestra: About

Vision. We envision a world where our commitment to a collaborative artistic process results in profound orchestral performances that inspire people to pursue cooperation and artistry in their own creative, professional and personal lives.

Mission. Kaleidoscope is a conductorless chamber orchestra dedicated to enriching lives through exhilarating concert experiences, artistic excellence, musician leadership, and connecting with the diverse communities of Los Angeles.

Core Values
• We believe that our collective of musicians has ideas that are worthy of respect and consideration; that each member has a voice worth hearing; that every person, given the chance and tools, can help to create great art.
• We believe that pursuing a democratic process within the orchestra will improve the quality of the performance, fulfill the collective vision of the ensemble, and create a unique experience not found in traditional orchestras.
• We believe in developing an infrastructure that supports, empowers, and values its musicians.
• We believe in bringing our performances and artistic process to audiences who have little or no exposure to symphonic music with the belief that the experience will enrich the lives of both the audience and the performers.

Artistic Intent. We perform orchestral music that speaks profoundly to our community and is both representative of its time and timeless, whether written today or centuries ago. We stretch the boundaries for what is thought possible without a conductor, both by musicians and audiences, to allow us all to grow through the process. We regularly collaborate with living composers because their music represents our time. We design programs that explore less conventional concert experiences and allow audiences to feel more personally connected to music and the musicians who perform it.

Community Engagement and Education. Kaleidoscope is committed to music education for all ages and is happy to offer a "pay what you can" model to eliminate the barrier of a set ticket price. We want everyone in Los Angeles to have the opportunity to experience great classical music in person by a professional orchestra, think about what that experience means, and pay what makes them happy. We also perform many additional free concerts in schools, hospitals, shelters, and other underserved parts of our community.

We recently started a music education program at a title I elementary school in Culver City, providing music instruction to 200 students each week. With additional funding, we are planning to expand this program to other grades and other schools in the future. Not only do we want every child in Los Angeles to love listening to music, we want every child to have the opportunity to read, play, and write music, too.

Remembering Elmer Davis, an original BSI

By Tarihçi at 00:00 No comments

The early Sherlockians, those men and women who read the stories of the Canon before there was a completed Canon, fascinate me. So I loved the talk Mary Ann Bradley, BSI, gave at the annual field trip of the Illustrious Clients of Indianapolis this past Saturday.

Speaking at an old railroad depot in Aurora, IN, now a history library, she talked about Aurora native Elmer Davis. Davis was one of the journalistic giants of his day, for whom there is no parallel in our own time. Importantly for Sherlockians, he also wrote the Constitution and Buy-Laws of the Baker Street Irregulars around the time Christopher Morley formed the BSI in 1934. He was an original member, present at that first dinner.

Two of the most famous lines of the “Buy-Laws” reflect the tongue-in-cheek spirit of the document:

4. All other business shall be left for the monthly meetings.
5. There shall be no monthly meetings.

Davis was a highly paid commentator for CBS during World War II ($53,000 a year) but took a hefty pay cut to head the Office of War Information at the request of a fellow Baker Street Irregular, President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In that role, Davis set the gold standard for maximum openness in wartime.

Until Mary Ann’s talk, however, my greatest exposure to Elmer Davis was fictional. He appears as a character in The War of the World Mystery and Baker Street Irregular, two thoroughly enjoyable novels. Perhaps that’s fitting. Davis appeared as himself in the classic science fiction film, The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Diamond Wedding Anniversary for Albert and Paola of Belgium

By Tarihçi at 12:33 No comments

Sixty years ago today, on 2 July 1959, the Prince of Liège and Donna Paola Ruffo di Calabria were married at the Cathedral of St Michael and St Gudula in Brussels. The groom Albert was the son of King Léopold III of the Belgians and the late Queen Astrid (née Sweden). The bride was the daughter of Princess Luisa Ruffo di Calabria (née Gazelli dei Conti di Rossana) and the late Prince Fulco Ruffo di Calabria. Albert and Paola eventually had three children: Philippe, Astrid, and Laurent. Albert II succeeded as King of the Belgians after the death of his older brother Baudouin in 1993. In 2013, King Albert II abdicated in favour of his son Philippe.

Paint Projects Around the House

By Fitness ve Body Blogçusu at 07:30 bathroom, decorating, flowers, house, outside, summer No comments

This was the first year this peony bloomed! I think I need more of the variety!

I thought you might like to see a couple of pictures of the freshly painted bathroom! Ah! Fresh paint always feels so nice!

I ordered a bent "Radiator Brush" from Wooster Paintbrushes. The minute I saw it on amazon, I knew I needed one! So far, I have only used it for painting the front of a radiator, so not sure it if really helps reaching behind and getting all the nooks and crannies. But it sure is cool!

Besides painting the radiator in the above picture, I have also been working on two more radiator that will be installed this fall. So far, I have them scraped and primed.

It is amazing what details they put on these old beauties!

I think I mentioned before that I painted the back entry/stairs the same time I painted the bathroom. This space gets a lot of traffic, so I decided the steps also needed a paint re-fresh. It is hard to find a time when I know the ins and outs will be at a minimum! So far I have only been able to paint the blue. Since the squares are all ready there, I just used a craft brush to re-paint the squares and border. I still love this feature!

Also getting a coat of paint is this little table I picked up at a garage sale! It was covered in silver spray paint when I got it. This is just after I finished washing it down with hose. All the old paint just came right off!

That is when I discovered the "wicker" wrapped around the legs wasn't actually wicker! The wooden legs were turned on a lathe to look like ridges of wicker. Isn't that cool? I am thinking it must be 1900-1920s, with possibly a replaced table top.

Isn't it sweet? I am so excited to have discovered this little gem. I was going to buy another small table from Ikea for the porch, but this one is much better!

I had to sneak in a few summer flower pictures too! The baskets on the fence are so lovely this year with geraniums.

And Kerri enjoying a little porch time with us!

It is almost hydrangea season!

Last week marked the one year anniversary of the Brick House! Gosh! I can't believe it has already been a year!

+ Fürst Ferdinand zu Hohenlohe-Bartenstein (1942-2019)

Fürst Ferdinand zu Hohenlohe-Bartenstein

(1942-2019)

It is with regret that we announce the passing of Fürst Ferdinand zu Hohenlohe-Bartenstein. After a long illness, he succumbed yesterday at hospital in Schwäbisch Hall.

The late Fürst Ferdinand zu Hohenlohe-Bartenstein and

his eldest son Hereditary Prince Maximilian.

Ferdinand zu Hohenlohe-Bartenstein was born at Bartenstein, the family estate, on March 6, 1942. He was the only son of Karl, 8th Fürst zu Hohenlohe-Bartenstein (1905-1950) and of his wife the former Baroness Clara von Meyern-Hohenberg (1912-2001). Ferdinand had two older sisters, both surviving him: Franziska (b. 1937), married firstly to Alexander Frowein, and secondly to Baron Maximilien de Watteville-Berckheim (1940-2013); and Henriette (b. 1938), married since 1964 to Count Hans Veit zu Toerring-Jettenbach (b. 1935), Head of House.

Grand Duke Ferdinando IV of Tuscany.

Among Ferdinand's most illustrious ancestors was Archduchess Anna of Austria-Tuscany (1879-1961), one of the children of Grand Duke Ferdinando IV of Tuscany (1835-1908) and his second wife, the former Princess Alicia of Bourbon-Parma (1849-1935). Among Archduchess Anna's siblings were two notorious 'black sheep': Archduchess Louise, who married and bolted King Friedrich August III of Saxony, and Archduke Leopold Ferdinand, who renounced his titles and adopted the name 'Leopold Wolfling', ending his days as a grocer in Vienna. Needless to say, Archduchess Anna's descendants were far more conventional than her siblings.

Archduchess Anna of Austria-Tuscany.

Archduchess Anna married Johannes, 7th Fürst zu Hohenlohe-Bartenstein (1863-1921) in 1901, before the shenanigans of her sister Louise ruined the marital opportunities of her younger sisters. The couple had six children: Maria Rosa (1903-1999), who married (and divorced) Josef Hugo Waldenmeier (1879-1961); Fürst Karl; Fürst Albrecht zu Hohenlohe-Jagtsberg (1906-1996), who married Countess Theresa von Geldern-Egmont, founder of the line of HOHENLOHE-JAGTSBERG; Elisabeth (1907-1927); Margarethe (1909-1985), married to Raffaele Corsi di Turri dei Baroni di Turri (1908-1990); and Friedrich (1910-1985), who married Marie Claire Buet de Villars (1916-2012).

When it came time to find a consort, Fürst Ferdinand didn't look faraway. In 1971, at Oettingen, he married Princess Franziska zu Oettingen-Oettingen und Oettingen-Spielberg (1947-2011). She was the first child of Fürst Alois zu Oettingen-Oettingen und Oettingen-Spielberg (1920-1975), and of his wife, the former Countess Elisabeth zu Lynar (1922-2005). Franziska's siblings included, among others: Alexandra (b. 1948), who married Fürst Hubertus Fugger von Babenhausen (b. 1946); Fürst Albrecht (b. 1951), married to the former Angela Jank (b. 1951), close friends of the Prince of Wales; and Margarita (1957-2000), who was married to Prince Franz Lobkowicz (b. 1957).

Schloß Bartenstein.

As the only son of his father, Ferdinand inherited the family's estates in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. These properties, located mainly in a region called Hohenloher-Land, were administered from Schloß Bartenstein, the family seat.

The late Fürst Ferdinand zu Hohenlohe-Bartenstein.

Soon after their honeymoon, Ferdinand and Franziska set about to building a family of their own. The couple eventually had five children: Maximilian (b. 1972), who married Cristina Vozzi Castriota Scanderberg; Felix (b. 1973), married to doña Cristina Gutiérrez-Maturana-Larios y Kalachnikof (a daughter from the complicated second marriage of the late Spanish aristocrat the Marqués de Paul); Alice (b. 1978), who married Prince Christian zu Sayn-Wittegenstein-Berleburg; Margherita (b. 1979); and Georgina (b. 1982), who married Count Clemens Douglas. Fürstin Franziska predeceased her husband in 2011.

Our sincere condolences to the princely family...RIP...
