Here are two songs you are sure to remember. They were both written by Edvard Grieg, and were posted here last year around this time (before I knew how to do sound effects!)
This was one of the first songs I learned in the music program at school. It is titled “Gymnopedie No. 1” by Eric Satie. Most versions are slower than this, but since we all have busy schedules I gave it a quicker tempo.
Here are some more songs from the book “Piano Literature Volume One.“ Also, did you know that I lettered in three different sports in high school? They were all in lower case, however…..
This song is called Pour Mettre Comme Un Homme Habile. In English it means “To Put Like a Skillful Man.” (I think it might be missing something in translation). It was written way back in the 1500’s by Orlando Di Lasso.
On another note, have you ever wondered why the word “tummy” is used for the word “stomach?” Shouldn’t it be “Stummy?”
No TambourineWith TambourineName That TuneAnd This One Too
Tuesday’s song is fresh off the press. It is called Videntes stellam mag which translates to When They Saw The Star (at least according to my online translator). It was written in the 1500’s by Orlando Di Lasso, also known as “The King of Renaissance Music.” It has five lines of music.
Make that twomore. They were written in the 1500’s by my new favorite composer Orlando Di Lasso. I just added a little flavor to them. Each version has the same instruments, just arranged differently.
The first is titled “A Voi Guglielmo Invitto.” According to the online translator, that means “To You William Unconquered.”
And the second one is titled “O la o che bon eccho.” That translates to “The Echo Song” on translate.com. (Another translator uses the word “ecstasy” but I am going with echo because this site is G-rated.)
My word! what a lovely echo! let’s try it out. Pleased to meet you! Ha ha ha ha ha, let’s all laugh! Oh my fine companion? What do you want? I’d like you to sing a song Why? Why should I? Why not? Because I don’t want to. Why don’t you want to? Because I don’t feel like it! Shut up I say! You shut up, you big fool! Yes Sir! Come now, no more! Let’s go! Goodbye good echo! Goodbye good echo! Peace be with you. That’s enough, enough, enough!
