Holy. SHIT.

I THINK I ACCIDENTALLY PREDICTED THE FUTURE A YEAR AGO.

Context: Trailing Solitude is a song I created almost a year ago. It's a song about how I felt around that time and represented my own anxiety.

Nowadays, it sounds like a song I would make about Eddie Dear. It has, I SHIT YOU NOT, the sound design and heartbeat and everything.

If I ever make the Frankly Dear AU teaser, it will play this song. Mind you, I'm still making a trailer thingie for the AU, but this will be the placeholder teaser.

J.S. Bach - Orchestral Suite no.3 in D Major, BWV 1068 (c.1730)

I want to say I was listening to this one in my rocking chair next to my books on music. Or with wine and cheese at someone's party. No, I put this on while I washed the dishes. I thought I'd share my old post on this same piece but realized that I'd never written about this suite. And I don't have anything profound or introspective to say about it. It made taking down this mountain if dirty dishes feel like a grand accomplishment. It's a reminder that this music was written for the audience to enjoy. It doesn't have to be treated like music theory homework. That being said, I do like looking at the history of the orchestral suite, which would develop into the symphony. What can we hear from Bach's Proto-Symphony no.3? The Orchestral Suite was a carryover from France's Ouvertures. It would start with a slow section to draw in the audience, and then a lively counterpunctual exercise. After the "heavier" opening movement, the rest of the pieces are light dances, galanteries (minuets, bourrées, courantes, sarabandes, gavottes, allemandes, gigues, etc.). Because the German political elite had a taste for French art, they would have music played during their banquets and parties. Bach had no real interest in this kind of music (which would be a decent income source) because he was already dedicated to writing church music. But what few he did leave behind (we only have four Orchestral Suites attributed to him) sounds like great party music. The Suite in D Major is scored for 3 trumpets, timpani, oboes, violins, viola, basso continuo, giving it a louder sound than the others. The Ouverture starts with the slower grand statement announced by the trumpets and timpani. As you'd expect from Bach, this opens into a counterpunctual explorations of the melodies that developed out of the opening, but with the vibrancy of Vivaldi's fast paced concertos. The ending section cuts back and ends with a more subdued coda. The Air of this suite has stuck in our culture through films and TV, popular for its beautiful melodies. I remember first hearing it in the most ironic example I know; played during the library scene in Seven (or "Se7en") from the 1995 film. The ugliness and depraved misanthropy in the film is contrasted for a moment by the idealized "beautiful music" by an idealized "Great Composer". I thought it was showing the spectrum of human minds, that the "greatest" Baroque composer comes from the same human family as a lunatic serial killer using the Christian "Seven Deadly Sins" for gruesome punishments against his victims. Listening to it now I think it's fascinating that someone could have been touched or moved by the gorgeous Aria without words Bach wrote for whatever party or occasion, and she would have no idea that the same music would be heard again as so many of these festival pieces were back then. The latter dances show off the trumpets to make each one boisterous and lively. Two Gavottes with heavy emphasis on the beat, an upbeat Bourrée, and ending on the always fun and swaying Gigue. Of these dances I think I love Bach's gigues the most because they're always densely woven with his long waves of counterpoint across each instrument to create a dance that makes me think of old pub drinking songs or sailors dancing and drinking at sea. Another reminder that this music is supposed to be fun and enjoyable for anyone, and you can turn your own living room into an 18th century court for fun.

Movements:

Ouverture

Air

Gavotte I/II

Bourrée

Gigue

Not to be an old nerd on main but I really think more young people should go to classical orchestra concerts.

It is wild to me that classical music has this reputation of being elitist when in fact it’s easily the most affordable kind of concert you can go to. Classical music orchestras are desperate to get young people in the door because the majority of their patrons are elderly and when those patrons die, the art of live classical/instrumental music will die with them if younger folks don’t show up to keep the concerts going. If you are under the age of 40, there’s a good chance that your local orchestra has a discount for you, and possibly a steep one at that. If you’re a high school or college student, you might be eligible for a student discount, which could be even better. And if you’re bringing family or friends, there might be group discounts.

But even if there’s no special deal, these concerts can still be surprisingly cheap, in large part because many of them don’t make you buy through the greedy extortion clusterfuck that is Ticketmaster. I literally got a front row seat at an orchestra concert for just TWELVE DOLLARS and heard some of the best music of my life while doing it. Music that is so amazing it can move you to tears. And that kind of pricing isn’t unusual in my city. Hell, there are even some concerts around here that are FREE.

It kills me to see young people feeling like they have to miss out on the joy of live music just because they can’t afford to shell out hundreds of dollars in Ticketmaster fees when a much easier and more affordable option is right there.

Also? The idea that classical music is solely the domain of White men from the 1800s is not true. There are women and people of color in the orchestras, in conductor/director positions, and there are women and POC composers from a range of eras whose work gets played. I attend a lot of orchestra concerts and I’ve heard beautiful music from all over the world from composers and performers in all kinds of demographics. I’ve heard music that was composed within my parents’ lifetimes and music that was about being queer. And I never paid much for any of it.

It’s true that these concerts aren’t very flashy. There’s no special effects, big screens, dance numbers, or sparkly outfits. But that’s the point. You’re meant to focus on the music and the story it’s telling, with no distractions. It’s one or two hours of relaxing songs that allow you to just let your mind wander and imagine. It’s much better for people with sensory issues who get overwhelmed easily, and it lets you safely get the cheap seats without any worries that you’ll be missing too much because you don’t really need to see what’s on stage, you just need to hear it. And if the venue is any good, you will definitely be able to hear from wherever you are.

Anyway support your local orchestra and fuck Ticketmaster up its ass.

the funniest thing happened at practice yesterday (orchestra)

me and my friend: *sitting there, violining away, happy to have the melody for once, even if we have to share it with the first violins*

my friend: *keeps ignoring accidentals*

conductor: *sighs, taking arms down, scowling at the music sheets to intimidate them*

me: *points at accidentals, looking at my friend intensely*

conductor (barely audible): it’s B flat for gods sake (then, very loudly) who in the violins keeps playing B?

violins 2: *intimidated avoiding eye contact*

my friend (whispering to me): I don’t get it

girl behind us: guess you’re just not that sharp

me: *bites lip to not laugh too loud*

my friend: *does the same*

*stifled giggles from harpist and percussionist* *whispering between the trumpets*

*stifled giggles and whispering from the flutes*

bassist, bassoonist (almost in sync, very loudly): I don’t get it

celli: *loud laughing*

my crush (also a cellist): *tries not to laugh but fails horribly, looks at me*

me: *stares back, blushing because she acknowledges my existence*

conductor (confused): what’s so funny?

me (whispering): nothing, just a very flat joke

girl behind me: nice

conductor: *chuckles awkwardly before going back to the usual one-week-pre-concert persona* we’ll take that again, from the top- don’t you roll your eyes at me, [crush’s name]

Imagine if FE3H used classic orchestra pieces (including the most memed ones) for the BGM instead of an original score.

Here are my ideas:

Edelgard/Black Eagles: Gustav Holst's "Mars, the Bringer of War"

Dimitri/Blue Lions: Edvard Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King"

Claude/Golden Deer: Edvard Grieg's "Morning Mood"

I'm also trying to think of classical pieces for the other characters, and pivotal plot points. I was thinking "Flight of the Bumblebee" for Ferdinand, "Night on Bald Mountain" anytime something villainous happens, and maybe the "1812 Overture" whenever there's a victory for the good guys (any route). Maybe "Aquarium" from the Carnival of the Animals for Flayn...suggestions are welcome!

double bass is the prettiest and best sounding instrument to me. The low notes are comforting to me while the high notes are luring, almost siren like. The bass is also really big so it's more awesome then cello. Cello sucks. The players of a bass to me are caring, they don't let people tell them what to think or do. If they let someone tell them what to do they would have been playing the cello or violin. The bass is just such a pretty sounding and lookin instrument.
