This piece was our
soundtrack favorite growing up.
(Al, this piece is close to heart ain't it?) This is an 18th century piece by Mozart, altho I think it is relatively short and I wish it was longer. It reminded me of the King Arthur era, where all are white and gay
(gay as in happy, joyous, celebratorious (is that a word?)). And it is so
never-ending-story theme. :) You know what I mean. ;)
So this week I present to you
Greensleeves by
Mozart.
** The first clip is the piece we usually play with the orchestra, and I thought was the original one, or maybe not...I don't know but the second one so reminds me of King Arthur. Dang I want to watch The Tudors.
OMG!!!!! I LOVE THIS PIECE. PERIOD.

ReplyDeleteAh, Greensleeves -- such a simple piece, but capable of being so elaborate and beautiful at the same time!
ReplyDeleteI recently started listening to Oscar Peterson's work (and he did an awful lot), and on one of his albums is a Jazz-piano version of Greensleeves. It's lovely; look it up, if you can find a copy :)
Really? Jazzy? That would be interesting, and be a good piece for my jazz orchestra...ill try to look it up :D Thanks.
ReplyDeleteQuick google shows this:
