Henry Purcell - Rondo

[TheEdgarvarese12]

such an elevated and heavenly emotion

[77COLLINE]

Pity this version misses the high points of the introductory phrases, otherwise quite pleasant to listen to.  Colline

[dpdamiani]

This is fantastic!!!

[eriksensei2]

this is an amazingly beautiful and touching version, I love it! thanks!

[thiagoblanco]

Rondó

O Rondó vem da dança francesa 'Rondeau' (literalmente 'Roda'), de caráter circular, que também fazia parte da suíte de danças barroca, em que um tema é sempre retomado depois de passar por uma série de variações. O rondó seria assim: Tema A - Tema B - Tema A - Tema C - Tema A e final (A-B-A-C-A).

[JennaLouiseXO]

I can play this on the piano :)

[HARMONICO101]

No one on youtube seems to get yet that the rondeau, being of French origin, is based on dance, and therefore this should be highly rhythmic and vivacious, not slow and moody like some romantic era piece.

[FriendlyCroock]

it`s better like this

[liefvis]

@HARMONICO101

I disagree

Many people know

but u r wrong, afraid

Rondeau has a poetic origin (medieval) and the dance to come in the time of Barok

[SEGAZealot]

@HARMONICO101 And you don't seem to realize that the Europeans know more about this kind of music than anyone else; afterall they created classical music - the very same that has penetrated nearly ever culture on earth. You Canadians know nothing therefore.

[pipebillys]

@SEGAZealot shut the fuck up. it's an absurd deal trying to place borders on human achievement.

[SEGAZealot]

@pipebillys Well that's what borders are there for, lest we have Americans or Canadians claiming they invented the compass and so forth which is just totally incorrect. Give credit where it's due.

[pipebillys]

@SEGAZealot So would you say then, that Americans and Canadians are devoid of any sense of direction?

[SEGAZealot]

Well I'm a traditionalist after all meaning that I believe (for instance) that the Japanese/Chinese have a greater understanding of the nature of martial arts than in the West - mainly due to language and their cultural/spiritual perceptions that originally gave rise to it.

Similarly in this video we have a total reversal; this Chinese player has not grasped the original European designs or motives instead happy with their own performance when it is in reality abysmal:

/watch?v=yR0xxQdiMqY

[SEGAZealot]

@pipebillys So we cannot truly understand anything (whether it be martial arts or classical music) unless we are actively living within that culture so as in order to understand the raison d'être for these things. Just like my earlier post about that Chinese woman's playing.

Yes Australians and Americans derive from Europe but do we go to Vietnam to learn Shaolin Kung Fu just because Vietnam has years of Chinese influence? No we go to China.

[pipebillys]

@SEGAZealot  So I guess nuclear physics should only be restricted to Jews; blues to Black Americans in Harlem.

FALLACY.

[SEGAZealot]

@pipebillys No because I wouldn't expect anyone outside the USA to be more expert on blues than Americans whether black OR white as they are American skin color.

Also the example you give with regards to Jews and physics is rubbished by the fact that it was never created under the influence of the religion itself but under Western doctrine and methodologies. Also nuclear physics could not have occured were it not for the other european scientists such as Newton and Ernst Rutherford.

[SEGAZealot]

as they are American regardless of skin color* sorry

[SEGAZealot]

@pipebillys But anyway you still fail to see what I am trying to say for it's no use saying "Well then because a Jew or black did this blah blah". No, as I said before the raison d'être - the reason for being is what's important here. The reason why Blues music. martial arts, classical music etc came about revolves more around the cultures of those particular countries that created them and whatever else helped to shape them.

[SEGAZealot]

@pipebillys What is a FALLACY is the fact that it sounds preposterous to suggest a group living in Russia knows more about American Blues than the Americans themselves, then turn around and say that someone in Canada knows more about [European] Classical music than the Europeans. Yeah go figure.

[pipebillys]

@SEGAZealot That's absurd. So I guess Zubin Mehta is inferior in his knowledge of classical music to some random european?

Harmonico's analysis was correct, as a matter of fact.

[SEGAZealot]

@pipebillys You said it hun

[SEGAZealot]

@pipebillys Look up 'American Karate' for when you take an art away from it's source it becomes diluted and not a true representation of the art, but a mockery.

[pipebillys]

@SEGAZealot "it's". I rest my case.

[SEGAZealot]

@pipebillys Yes I noticed that but didn't think you'd be pathetic enough to point it out. I was obviously mistaken...

[SEGAZealot]

@pipebillys But to close our little discussion the fact remains that in order to learn from the best regarding Classical music you have to go to Europe - which is what I intend to do. You may be happy with the second-rate teachers in the US, Canada or even here in Australia, but you'll never get the best training from them. By being here you are accepting the fact that you are a fan of European music and you need to accept that my dear.

[pipebillys]

@SEGAZealot America is a large country. We have a lot of dumb rednecks in the provincial areas, but you'd be pleasantly surprised at the level of sophistication you're bound to see in places like new england and the s.f. bay area. also los lngeles, to a limited extent. We're just struck by a nasty shitstorm of chauvinism and christfaggotry, and that's why things look a lot worse, as of now.

[antipants94]

slightly not fast enough

[AlsatianCousin]

It's almost TOO fast.

[1401JSC]

Ah?

What was Purcell's metronome indication?

[monkeytypist]

very poor sound quality.

[illatease]

Whoa...this orchestra sounds very powerful! Just fabulous!

[0hmyblog]

[userblue]

Was nervous, but luckily the visual is not representative of the sound!

[XxElementRockerxX]

That was great BTW, luv the sonng

[jackeddemon]

u mean roneau?

[fwahpanic]

purcell composed two pieces, one with either spelling (:

[jackeddemon]

rondeau is a movement not a piece

[fwahpanic]

rondeau is a movement in addition to chaconne, although these movements are often played as separate orchestral pieces.(sp?).

rondo is a movement in air, minuet, and rondo.

we are playing both in orchestra at the moment.

[FriendlyCroock]

a movement not a piece ?

[yuliekim]
