(HD 720p) Venetian Boat Song (Songs Without Words), Mendelssohn
Loading...
Uploaded by romympanlilio on Apr 10, 2011
Characterized by a rhythm reminiscent of the gondolier's stroke, Venetian Boat Song is one of the six "songs" of the eight volumes of Songs Without Words written by Felix Mendelssohn. Mendelssohn himself resisted attempts to interpret the Songs too literally, and objected when a friend sought to put words to them to make them literal songs: "What the music I love expresses to me, is not thought too indefinite to put into words, but on the contrary, too definite"
The images I used are those of Burano's, an island in the Venetian Lagoon, which could more correctly be called an archipelago of four islands linked by bridges. It lies near Torcello at the northern end of the Lagoon, and is known for its lacework and multi-colored houses. The eerie reflections of the mult-colored houses on the Venetian waters provide the theme of this video. .
