The translation for the song title is Oh of my dearly beloved. This aria is a blend of baroque and romantic vocal writing techniques, and not only succeeds in creating a cohesive whole, but in creating a particularly lovely and memorable musical work. It starts with a delicate, very subtly ornamented theme echoed in the accompaniment, and then slowly rises to a passionate declamation, and then returns to the earlier theme. The two parts are utterly seamless, each perfectly complementing the other.
“Panis Angelicus” by Cesar Franck was Leonell third performance. César Franck was born on December 10, 1822, in Liege, Netherlands. He entered the Liege conservatory at age 8 and later attended the Paris Conservatory. He left early to perform with his brother, which was ultimately a setback for his career. He became an organ professor at the Paris Conservatory in 1872. His compositions, such as Symphony in D Minor, are noted for their melodic flights. He died in 1890.
“Panis Angelicus,” was a popular hymn for the World War II generation and, during the 1940s and 1950s, it could be heard at almost every wedding. As this generation has aged, the hymn has made a resurgence as a devotional song for funeral liturgies. Its stirring melody and harmonization perfectly capture the heart of Cesar Franck’s devout Catholic

    Music has been invariably elucidated throughout history altering the definition of what is considered melodic, and revolutionizing the manner in which pieces are composed and one of the most prominent periods of musical transformations was the 17th century. It was during these influential times in which music was subjected to the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, both signifying turbulent times for the church and both fundamental in the salvation of polyphonic musical composition as we know it today. Composer John Jenkins’s Fantasia is a prime example of a piece born on the scrupulous limitations of this era. Fantasia No. 13 is a piece scored for chordophones, most particularly a string quartet with double bass, the arrangement…

    This picture is black and white of young boy called Flavio, feeding rice to his younger brother Zacarias. My first impression of Flavio’s archive was that it seemed to be a very sad story. This photo shows the horrors of poverty and Flavio’s strength to survive, and even the courage to accept death without even thinking about himself but of his brothers and sisters. I did some research and found out that Flavio is a 12-year-old boy who has the huge responsibility of being an adult. He is able to accept this responsibility while still remaining vibrant and hopeful even though Flavio is suffering from a physical illness, poverty, overwork and worry.…

    Johannes Brahms’s Piano Concerto No.1 in D Minor is split into three movements of varying texture and feel. Full of tension and release, the piece reflects both Brahms’s other works and his life during the time of its composition. Although initially received in 1859 to an overwhelmingly negative reaction, (Lunday 127) the concerto grew in popularity with the help of Clara Schumann and remains a popular composition to this day (Staines 97). Throughout the piece, the delicate balances of romanticism and classicism, of virtuosity and restraint, and of darkness and warmth are maintained and showcased. Beginning with the mighty and tragic Maestoso, the angular first theme is introduced by the orchestra alone.…
