Put together in an oral arrangement by Hawkins and saxophonists Julian Dash and Bill Johnson, it was a big hit with dancers -and an even bigger hit when Glenn Miller came out with his copycat version the following year. After it was adopted as the Hawkins band's theme, it became an anthem at their home ballroom comparable to Chick Webb's celebrated Stompin' at the Savoy.

Robert Charlebois et Louise Forestier -- CALIFORNIE --

Via: https://youtube.com

(PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR ENGLISH) En 1968, Charlebois, géant de la chanson québécoise a entrepris un voyage de trois mois en Californie où il a subi l'influence de la contre-culture et a fait la connaissance des meilleurs musiciens rock d'Amérique. Sa musique a commencé à s'électrifier et ses textes, qui empruntaient le langage populaire, exprimaient une poésie toute urbaine. Ses chansons, Lindberg et California défrisent le public venu écouter de la belle chansonnette. De retour de son voyage décoiffant en Californie, il a bouleversé la conception musicale et scénique en présentant (avec Mouffe, Louise Forestier et Yvon Deschamps) "L'osstidcho", un antispectacle qui allait transgresser les règles, créer un précédent, et devenir une oeuvre de référence. C'est ici qu'il a fait remarquer au grand public son anticonformisme. Félix Leclerc disait, "Robert Charlebois c'est le néon, Gilles Vigneault, l'ampoule électrique, et moi la lampe à l'huile". Dans les deux chansons, Lindberg et California, on entend la qualité d'interprétation du duo Charlebois-Forestier. Les deux chansons se trouvent dans son quatrième album, "Lindberg" (1968) en pleine période psychédélique. In 1968, Robert Charlebois, a giant in the Québécois song, went to California for three months where he experienced the inlfuences of the counterculture and got to know the best American rock musicians. His music became explosive and the lyrics, which were taken from the popular language, expressed a very urban poetry. His songs, Lindberg and California unglued the public audiences who had come to hear the usual little songs. Upon returning from his trip to California, he completely turned around the musical and stage presentations by performing (with Mouffe, Louise Forestier and Yvon DesChamps) the "Osstidcho" ( the damned show) an anti-performance which went beyond the appropriate rules (of music and behavior), created a precedent and became a work of reference. It was here that he got the public audiences to notice his non-conformity. Félix Leclerc used to say, "Robert Charlebois is the neon sign, Gilles Vigneault is the electric bulb and I'm the oil lamp." In the two songs, Lindberg and California, we can hear the quality performance of the Charlebois-Forestier duo. The two songs can be found in his fourth album, "Lindberg" (1968) as a perfect reflection of the psychedelic era. Lyrics translation: The plough is passing through the sky (clouds look like they've been plowed...i.e. "plough skies") And I'm coming down slowly The plane's red and white staircase Which brings me, every night.. To California, to California, to California. Is it the money in the sun (the bright, golden sun) The yellow of taxis or that of the orange ones Which scatter in the night To light up life? In California, in California, in California A gray motor (engine) in the fog Pushes me to the end of nowhere in the midst of angels in the night Pints of golden milk Are pasteurized in the headlights In California, in California, in California Little ten and a half year-old blacks (reference to Miles Davis) Play the electric trumpet better than my friends All along the Pacific Their purple guitars complement each other In California, in California, in California I looked for you when I woke up Where were you? The wind was blowing in my ears I will buy the white truck (the acid) Which will bring us back to Springtime In California, in California, in California

Braucht Deutschland die Atombombe, Claudia Major? | Nur eine Frage

Via: https://youtube.com

Im neuen Podcast Nur eine Frage stellt ZEIT-Chefredakteur Jochen Wegner einfache, aber grundlegende Fragen, auf die eine klare Antwort schwer zu finden ist. Er befragt die bestmögliche Expertin, den bestmöglichen Experten, den wir für das jeweilige Thema finden können – und versucht, eine klare Antwort zu bekommen. In dieser Folge fragt er die Sicherheitsexpertin Claudia Major, ob Deutschland eigene Atomwaffen anschaffen sollte. Major ist eine der profiliertesten deutschen Sicherheitsexpertinnen. Sie ist Vizepräsidentin für transatlantische Sicherheitsinitiativen beim German Marshall Fund und berät die Bundesregierung in Sicherheitsfragen. Ihr Spezialgebiet sind die Auswirkungen des russischen Angriffskriegs auf die transatlantischen Beziehungen, die nukleare Ordnung und wie man die EU und die Ukraine langfristig sichern kann. Major erklärt, warum sie eine deutsche Atombombe nicht nur für unnötig, sondern sogar für einen schweren Fehler hält: Ein atomarer Alleingang Deutschlands würde die Welt unsicherer machen, weil es andere Länder ermutigte, ebenfalls nuklear aufzurüsten. Major plädiert dafür, dass Deutschland und andere europäische Staaten erst einmal konventionell stark aufrüsten müssen. Der Aufbau eines eigenen europäischen Nukleararsenals wäre dann ein weiterer möglicher Schritt, den man gehen könne. "Atomwaffen sind eigentlich keine Kriegsführungs-, sondern zutiefst politische Waffen", sagt Major und meint damit die abschreckende Wirkung, die ihr möglicher Einsatz entfaltet. Es gelte, potenziellen Angreifern zu vermitteln, dass die Kosten eines Angriffs viel höher wären als der Nutzen. Auf dieser Annahme beruhe die riskante Ordnung in einer Welt mit Atomwaffen. Doch diese Ordnung wackelt: Laut Major funktioniert die atomare Abschreckung durch US-amerikanische Atombomben gegenüber Russland zwar noch. Aber die Verlässlichkeit der USA unter Präsident Donald Trump stehe infrage, und Europa müsse mittelfristig eine eigene Abwehrstrategie entwickeln. Für eine atomare Neuausrichtung in Europa sieht Major drei Szenarien: eine gemeinsame europäische Bombe, nationale Alleingänge einzelner Staaten oder ein Modell, das auf Frankreichs und Großbritanniens vorhandenen Atomarsenalen aufbaut. Die Sicherheitsexpertin hält nur Letzteres für realistisch, wenn auch nicht für perfekt. Denn weder Frankreich noch Großbritannien verstehen ihre Atomwaffen als Schutzschild für ganz Europa. Es müsse eine neue europäische Nuklearstrategie entwickelt werden. Eines bleibe in jedem Fall klar: "Jegliche Veränderung der nuklearen Ordnung, egal wie wir daran herumdoktern, bedeutet für alle Betroffenen, für die Europäer, aber auch für die anderen, für Russland, für China: Instabilität." Auch dürften die Europäer die Amerikaner bei einer Neuausrichtung ihrer Sicherheitsstrategie nicht vor den Kopf stoßen, sagt Major. Für sie ist die Frage nach der Atombombe ohnehin nicht die entscheidende. Viel grundlegender fragt sie: Wie können Deutschland und Europa sich wirksam schützen? Im Podcast spricht sie über glaubwürdige Abschreckung durch weitreichende Waffen, Flug- und Raketenabwehr, ausreichende Truppenstärke und Verteidigung gegen hybride Kriegsführung wie Cyberattacken, Propaganda und Sabotage. Majors Antwort auf unsere eine Frage in dieser Folge: "Deutschland braucht nukleare Abschreckung, aber keine eigenen Atombomben."

Richard Strauss: Parergon on Symphonia Domestica for Piano "Left Hand" Op.73 (1925) by Wittgenstein

Via: https://youtube.com

Richard Strauss: Parergon on Symphonia Domestica for Piano "Left Hand" and Orchestra, Op.73 (1925) Piano: Paul Wittgenstein (1887-1961) Austrian-​American Orchestra: The Boston Records Orchestra Conductor: Eric Simon Released: Boston Records 1959 Label: Boston Records – BST-1011 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo Recorded At – Symphony Hall, Boston Matrix / Runout (Label Side A): K8OY-7883 Parergon (the Greek word means ‟addendum” or ‟supplement”), which, as Strauss’ sketches attest, was based on the ideas of ("Illness and Recovery"). Score: 1. (Langsam und schleppend) 00:01 F1 Introduction Orchestra (Slow and dragging) 00:19 "Elements of the child’s theme F14, from Sinfonia Domestica". 02:07 F2 Piano (in freiem, sehr leidenschaftlichem Vortag) - (in a free, very passionate) 03:26 F4 04:31 F6 05:25 F7 child theme 2.

F = Rehearsal number in the ‎full orchestral score. ********************** Composed from 1924–25 Premiered on June 10, 1925 in Dresden by Paul Wittgenstein with the Berlin Philharmonic Instruments: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 1 English horn, 2 clarinets, 1 bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, 1 contrabassoon, 5 French horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, 1 tuba, timpani, harp, 24 violins, 9 violas, 8 cellos, 6 double basses, & Solo Piano (Left Hand). History: In 1924, Richard Strauss received a commission from Paul Wittgenstein, a pianist who lost his right arm in World War I, to compose a work for piano left hand & orchestra. The pianist, older brother of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, came from a prominent Viennese family; their father, Karl, was a steel magnate, arts patron, and host of a salon where many of the greatest luminaries of the time, including Brahms, were regular guests. Strauss had known the Wittgenstein family before the war, and he used to play piano duets with Paul when the latter was a child. The commission reached Strauss at a time when he had just finished his autobiographical opera Intermezzo. In the opera, Kapellmeister Storch & his wife had a young son named Franz, just as the Strausses did in real life. But the opera captures a much earlier moment in the Strausses’ lives; by 1924, Franz Strauss was a grown man. Recently married, he contracted typhus on his honeymoon in Egypt & for a while his life was in danger. Under these circumstances, Strauss’ thoughts naturally turned to his Symphonia Domestica, written two decades earlier, also inspired by his family life. Franz was a child then, and he was given a lyrical theme that, along with the themes of his parents, formed the basis of much of the work. Elements of the child’s theme, now ‟grown up,” inform the Parergon (the Greek word means ‟addendum” or ‟supplement”), which, as Strauss’ sketches attest, was based on the ideas of illness and recovery. Structure: The conflict between those two opposite emotional poles generates the entire structure of the work, as an extensive, brooding, and chromatically complex introduction gives way to a more upbeat, faster section with a soaring, energetic theme. Yet this material is abruptly cut off and the uncertainties return with some more agitated & dissonant music. After a meditative interlude culminating in a cadenza, the woodwinds intone a peaceful song which symbolizes the simple world of the child. This hymn-like tune turns out to be a variant of the soaring theme we heard before; it returns in its original form & is given a dazzling development. The peaceful version of the theme reappears, now sounding more lyrical in a richer orchestration, before the grandiose & triumphant ending.

Objective, Burma! Franz Waxman

Via: https://youtube.com

In 1944, Capt. Charlie Nelson (Errol Flynn) leads a platoon of paratroopers into Burma to blow up a Japanese radar station in advance of the allied invasion. They're accompanied on the mission by Mark William (Henry Hull), an American journalist who is there to write about their exploits. The mission goes off without a hitch and without the loss of any men. The plan was for them to be picked up by two transport airplanes at an old landing strip but a Japanese patrol prevents them from doing so. The men are now forced to march towards the front lines, however the closer they get, the greater the number of Japanese troops they will face. In creating his soundscape, Waxman composed five primary themes and a number of reoccurring motifs, including; the long-lined Main Theme, which is borne by surging strings and woodwinds dramatico. “Main Title” offers a powerful score highlight where Waxman introduces his primary themes and perfectly establishes the tone of the film. We open dramatically with gong strikes, then trumpets militare. Waxman sows tension atop dire chords and snare drums bellicoso, entwined within this martial passage, which creates a tense and powerful synergy. The musical narrative is grim as the planned mission is daunting and full of risk. The tremolo strings of flight and horns militare support the flight of an American Liberator reconnaissance plane scanning for Japanese troop movement below.
