Classical Music Association Thread

[Brassbandmaestro]

Here is a type of game to be enjoyed by everyone here(especially with the run up to Christmas) Someone contributes a piece of music, then someone has to put another one in that has an association or connection...........

Mahler: Symphony No.2 'Resurrection'.

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

An interesting game. My mind's gone blank. Erm,

Et Resurrexit from Bach's B Minor Mass.

[Brassbandmaestro]

La Mort de Cleopatre(berlioz)

[johnb]

Isle of the Dead - Rachmaninov

[Mr Pee]

Isle Anthie- G+S. :whistle:

[Flosshilde]

'Le Baiser de la fee' by Stravinsky

[Flosshilde]

La Mort de Cleopatre(berlioz)

Not entirely sure how this follows on from Et Resurrexit from Bach's B Minor Mass. Was Cleopatra resurected?

[scottycelt]

Hysteria set to music ... ? :erm:

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

The Fairy Queen - Purcell

[Il Grande Inquisitor]

Britten - A MIdsummer Night's Dream

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Elgar - Falstaff

[StephenO]

Walton - Henry V

[Flosshilde]

Falstaff - Verdi (too easy)

[Flosshilde]

Walton - Henry V

Beat me to it, Stephen.

So, in response to yours, I offer Gotterdammerung, by Wagner

[maestro267]

Symphony No. 3 (Eroica) - Beethoven

Both contain a funeral march.

[Il Grande Inquisitor]

Gounod - Funeral March of a Marionette

bbm - Any chance of editing the typo in the thread title?

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Delibes - Coppelia

[Flosshilde]

Tchaikovsky - Nutcracker

[Mahlerei]

Adam - La Poupée de Nuremberg

[Flosshilde]

Wagner - Meistersinger von Nurnberg

which is just too easy - so I'll leave it open for someone else to come up with a cleverer response to Mahlerei's suggestion.

[Mahlerei]

Okay. Is this too tangential?

Spontini - Olympia

[Flosshilde]

Is that the same Olympia as in The Tales of Hoffmann? - ie a mechanical doll.

Let's see - something that's connected but moves us on from puppets;

Orpheus in the Underworld - offenbach

[MrGongGong]

Tangental ?
how about
Kunst Der Fuge : Laibach version (its not often that Bach .....blah blah sorry !)

[Norfolk Born]

Leonard Bernstein - Preludes Fugues and Riffs

[Mahlerei]

Floss

No, I was thinking of Nuremberg. Leni Riefenstahl filmed Hitler's rallies there; she also glorified the Aryan form in Olympia.

Back to the game:

Bernstein - Prelude, Fugue and Riffs

[Roehre]

Toch: Geographische Fuge (recently on TtN)

[Flosshilde]

Floss

No, I was thinking of Nuremberg. Leni Riefenstahl filmed Hitler's rallies there; she also glorified the Aryan form in Olympia.

Back to the game:

Bernstein - Prelude, Fugue and Riffs


Goodness, far too clever for me, Mahlerei :)

Perhaps it would be useful & add to the entertainment if we explained our choices? Rather like listening to the teams on 'Round Britain Quiz' arrive at their answers. The connection I made between Henry V & Gotterdammerung was horses (perhaps that was less subtle than I thought & everyone realised that)

I shall retire (temporarily) & return tomorow, hopefully refreshed.

[greenilex]

Prelude a l'apres-midi d'une faune - Debussy - or is "faune" masculine?

[Mahlerei]

Suppé - Morgen, Mittag, und Abend in Wien

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

J. Strauss II - Morgenblatter

[Uncle Monty]

I must redo my settings. I'm reading threads with the last message at the top, and when I lit upon this thread I was totally mystified. It appeared to be Mornington Crescent :erm:

Even after I went back to message #1, I still wasn't sure. Include me out of this one :smiley:

[Mahlerei]

Sousa - The Thunderer

[Mr Pee]

Thunder and Lightning Polka- J.Strauss II.

Too easy!!

[umslopogaas]

M33 Mr Pee

Thunder and lightning:

the penultimate scene - no. 13, Scena, Terzetto e Tempesta - from Verdi's 'Rigoletto'.

Now ... murder of the wrong victim, anyone?

I wish I'd got in at the start of this when it was still on Resurrection, I would have linked to Messiaen's 'Et Exspecto Resurrectionem Mortuorum'. Never mind, it may still come in useful.

[Flosshilde]

Another Verdi - Trovatore

[Il Grande Inquisitor]

Das Rheingold (anvils... anvils, in case you're wondering)

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Wagner - Das Rheingold (well it has anvils as well - I always associate the two)

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

Oops,you beat me to it. Sorry!

[Mahlerei]

Anvils, eh? How about:

Vakula the Smith - Tchaikovsky

[Il Grande Inquisitor]

Vakula the Smith - Tchaikovsky

Nice. We could either go down the smithy route with Handel's The Harmonious Blacksmith, or stray to Cherevichki (The Slippers) as Tchaikovsky's revision of Vakula. Your call...

[Tevot]

or perhaps something slightly different -;)

"Harmonielehre" by John Adams.

[Mahlerei]

Hi IGI

Knew you'd like the Tchaik - one of your favourites, I think :)

Weill - Kleine Dreigroschenmusik

[Flosshilde]

Tevot, that would follow on from the Harmonious Blacksmith

As a conncection to your suggestion ('The study of Harmony') I propose the Barber of Seville - which has a prominent role for a singing teacher.

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

I suppose Mozart's Marriage of Figaro is a bit obvious here?

[Il Grande Inquisitor]

Corigliano - The Ghosts of Versailles

[Flosshilde]

I know - in outline - the story of the ghosts of Versailles, but not how it woulkd connect with Figaro, Seville, blacksmiths or harmony :erm:

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

I was wondering that too, but I didn't want to look silly. :winkeye:

[Il Grande Inquisitor]

Hi IGI
Knew you'd like the Tchaik - one of your favourites, I think :)
[/I]

Indeed. I had the new Opus Arte dvd of Cherevichki for review recently - beautifully done.


I know - in outline - the story of the ghosts of Versailles, but not how it woulkd connect with Figaro, Seville, blacksmiths or harmony :erm:

The Ghosts of Versailles features many of the characters from Figaro and the Barber.

[Mahlerei]

I think the connection is Beaumarchais. The Ghosts of Versailles is based on his play La Mère coupable (The Guilty Mother).

Ah, I see IGI has already explained the connection.

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

I didn't want to look silly; now I do. :(

[Mahlerei]

EA

Just enjoy the game. We used to have one called Musical Connections and some of those were very tough. I often felt foolish when I couldn't spot the link but I did learn a lot along the way.

bws

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

:)

[Flosshilde]

Corigliano - The Ghosts of Versailles


I think that was the last musical piece to be connected to.

How about 'Turn of the Screw'?

[Flosshilde]

I was wondering that too, but I didn't want to look silly. :winkeye:

I gave up worrying about that a long time ago :laugh:

[Mahlerei]

M. Hercule, I see your Wingrave and raise you...

Amahl and the Night Visitors - also written for TV.

[Bax-of-Delights]

I had to google Saint of Bleecker Street :blush:

Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet.

[Caliban]

Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet.

Shostakovich: Hamlet

Shostakovich: Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk (adultery being the link)

[Suffolkcoastal]

R Strauss: Macbeth

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

But what happened to Michael Torke's "Green"?

[Suffolkcoastal]

I was looking at the Schone Mullerin and forgot about the next page! The same thing almost happened earlier when The Saint of Bleecker Street came up , I was going to follow it with Vanessa.

[Caliban]

R Strauss: Macbeth

Assuming that was the last correct turn:

Weill: Ballad of Mac the Knife

[Suffolkcoastal]

I've got to follow that one again: Martinu: The Tears of the Knife

[Caliban]

I got to follow that one again: Martinu: The Tears of the Knife

[Flosshilde]

Didn't Napoleon wear a three-cornered hat?

I'm afraid not - http://topper10.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/napoleon.jpg

I don't think Tolstoy did, either - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fb/Count_Tolstoy,_with_hat.jpg

[Flosshilde]

El corregidor y la molinera: De Falla

OK then: The Three-Cornered Hat.

as Napoleon didn't wear a three-cornered hat, can I offer Puccini 'Il Tritico' ?

But I wouldn't like to loose the connections following on from War & Peace, so let those stand.

[Flosshilde]

Where's Nicholas Parsons when you need him? Or dear old Humph?

[Eine Alpensinfonie]

I'm afraid not - http://topper10.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/napoleon.jpg

I don't think Tolstoy did, either - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fb/Count_Tolstoy,_with_hat.jpg

Oh, you can't rely on Hollywood. :laugh:

(I think I'd better retire gracefully :blush:)

[Lateralthinking1]

Having only limited knowledge of classical music but being a dab hand at Google, can I suggest Tuur, with two umlauts, Symphony No 6? I think it connects with the Birtwistle rather well. :biggrin:

[Flosshilde]

I think you are connecting with Alison's 'Earth Dances', rather than hmvman's 'Endless Parade' - am I right?

I've had to use google to find out about Tuur, & confirm the following -

Canticles for Benjamin Britten (Part)

[Lateralthinking1]

Yes, Flosshilde, it was Earth Dances. Stratum/strata. It was deviation. You get a point and you now have the subject. There's 45 seconds and the clock starts now.

[Flosshilde]

According to the composer's website - http://www.erkkisven.com/worklist-and-reviews/works-for-orchestra, which I've just looked at - it's to do with the Big Bang. I was thinking of rock strata, hence my assumption that lateralthinking was connecting it with 'Earth Dances'.

[Flosshilde]

Yes, Flosshilde, it was Earth Dances. Stratum/strata. It was deviation. You get a point and you now have the subject. There's 45 seconds and the clock starts now.

I think I've already done it, with Part's Canticle for Benjamin Britten (Estonian composers being the connection)

So, who's going to pick that up & make a connection? :smile:

& I shall follow Hercule's example & retire (just for the night)

[Lateralthinking1]

Yes, spot on. The Birtwistle work is constructed as strata; Tuur's piece is called Strata.

[hmvman]

Cockfosters. Er, sorry, wrong game....:blush:

[Lateralthinking1]

....and yes we'll go with the Arvo Part now (Post 101). :biggrin: I'm handing it back to the experts now that it is on track.

[Il Grande Inquisitor]

Part's Canticle for Benjamin Britten

If we're taking this as the latest entry, then how about linking it to:

Therefore...Tit-willow (Gilbert & Sullivan)

[Suffolkcoastal]

Wondering? I'm completely bamboozled...... from The Medium to Vanessa to Vanessa Mae....and then Land of My Fathers?

Sherlock!!

I can answer the first one, Menotti, the composer of the medium was the librettist of his partner Barber's opera Vanessa.

And as a tribute to dear Hughes Cuenod here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIRgPNkwFxI

[3rd Viennese School]

Tchaikovsky
Symphony numero deux
"Le petite Russian"

Trois VS

[Roehre]

"Le petite Russian"
Btw: little-Russian has got to be understood as Belorussian, not as "small-sized" Russian, as "little Russia" in Tchaikovsky's title is Belorus (or in Germanic languages: White Russia).

Shostakovich: Lady MacBeth of Mtsinsk (place in Belorus IIRC)

[Suffolkcoastal]

Little Russia is the Ukraine, Byelorussia was for many years part of Poland.

[Roehre]

Little Russia is the Ukraine, Byelorussia was for many years part of Poland.
This is a nice one. In German and Dutch "Little Russia" (Kleinrussland, Klein Rusland) is identical with White Russia (Weissrussland, Wit Rusland), is Belarus. Ukraine is Ukraine (German), Oekraine (Dutch) repectively.
indeed, Minsk (present Belarus capital) was until the 2nd Polish divsion (1793) a Polish-Lithuanian town.

But Mtsinsk is in Belarus, so back to the thread's subject: musical association

Shostakovich: Lady macBeth of Mtsinsk.

[Suffolkcoastal]

Ah, but referring to Tchaikovsky's 2nd Symphony, the Little Russia is the Ukraine, as the symphony uses a couple of Ukrainian folktunes and Russians seem to have referred to the Ukraine as Malorusski (small/little Russia).

[Mr Pee]

Mussourgsky- Pictures at an Exhibition- The Great Gate of Kiev.

[Roehre]

The great gate of Kiev is a bit like a triumphal arch, therefore:

Verdi: Triumph march from Aida

[3rd Viennese School]

Thomas Ades Tevot.

Supposed to be arch- like or something.

[3rd Viennese School]

For those of us not in the know (probably only me) could the connections between #186/7/8 be explained please? (so I can get the most out of this fascinating exercise)

186/187/188

Le petite canards.
The word “Petite” is French for little.
As in Tchaikovsky’s little Russian.

If Tchaikovsky was French it would have had Petite in the title.
I think Tchaikovsky would have been at home in France.

.Except he didn’t nick name his symphony!

Hi Sigolene,
That's the difficulty, I know - while one's contemplating a reply, someone gets in there first!. But I'd still like to see someone pick up my challenge in my last post - the connection between 'Twinkle, twinkle little star' & 'Die Fledermaus' (hint - it involves English fantasy literature) & come up with a connection with the latter. :smile:


"while one's contemplating a reply, someone gets in there first!" - Hi Alpen, I see you did just that! & full marks to you :star::bubbly:
