The journey from Phil's to Bad's was quick, at least in Robin's mind. Her wings were clipped, or it would be even faster, but the entire way there, she giggled to herself, thinking about how stupid Quackity was to think she wouldn't and how worth it the look on his face would be when she did.

Cold wind bit at the tips of her wings as she came up on the structure of Bad's house. she pressed the tawny feathers to her back, looking around. Quackity had said he was outside, right?

"I'm here to kiss a duck!" she shouted through cupped hands.

A few months ago, the symphony in my city went bankrupt and closed permanently. I was shocked. My SIL and I had season's tickets and were preparing to go to the first concert that very week. I had extra tickets so my kids could go to Music and Magic later in the season. The year before, I had brought my oldest for the first time to see Cirque du Symphony (Cirque du Soleil + symphony) and he loved it. I'm not sure he loved the music but he enjoyed the performance.

I'd been going since a friend in university gave me her extra tickets. Back then I could go for about $25 as a student and sit anywhere in the house. My SIL and I aren't rich, we paid for tickets in the back of the mezzanine. We weren't terribly cultured, we went to the Pops series which had dancing and other performances, not the Classic series. But I loved it, I love when the music goes straight through your body and fills you up. I miss that feeling. You can't get it with pre-recorded music. Now I can't have it again unless I want to drive for hours.

I just feel profoundly sad about it. I went to the bankruptcy meeting and I felt so betrayed. They never told the public, it was completely out of the blue. They didn't ask us to try to save them. Now it's gone and it may never come back. And I sat there beside the musicians who had no idea what they would do now, because symphonies everywhere are closing and there aren't new ones taking their place. Something is gone that I wanted for my children and this is the first time I've experienced that feeling. It's dreadful. Also, the meeting was filmed and I cried on local TV (did not realize they were filming me until my in-laws texted me...)

I know it's a hard time for everyone, and maybe we don't have enough money to support the arts. And maybe people don't care anymore, I was often one of the youngest people in the audience. But I regret this loss. The arts are important in an intangible way that I can't describe. I loved living in a smaller city with a symphony, I don't anymore.

It died, and I am only a single person, and I can't bring it back.

Ballroom Playlist & Moodboard

I’m so happy to finally be able to post this! My secret pal was @noesapphic for the @choicesfandomappreciation event! Below I made a fancy schmancy mood board and a wee ballroom playlist I’d like to imagine Marianna and Ernest dance to :’) I hope you like it!  (Weird little music history fact: Mozart was a…humorous guy. He wrote poems and letters about farts…to his FAMILY who also loved the occasional fart joke). *Another fun fact! Sonata No. 16 in C Major is used a lot in Choices stories as background music. I am ninety-nine percent sure haha.

Sonata No. 16 in C Major, Mozart

Sauteuse in Dm/F

The Sussex Waltz, Mozart

Badinerie, Bach

The Skaters’ Waltz, Andre Rieu

The Blue Danube Waltz, Strauss

Ave Maria, Bach

Étude Op. 25, No. 1 in A-flat major, Chopin

Hbd Mahler 8

Happy anniversary to Mahler's symphony #8, aka symphony of a thousand, named for the number of people that will be involved in performing it.

I have never heard the whole thing because it doesn't seem like something that can be recorded and replayed. But I fully support it just on a conceptual level:

Part I is based on the Latin text of Veni creator spiritus ("Come, Creator Spirit"), a ninth-century Christian hymn for Pentecost, and Part II is a setting of the words from the closing scene of Goethe's Faust. The two parts are unified by a common idea, that of redemption through the power of love, a unity conveyed through shared musical themes.

Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 might have been his last. A superstitious man, he noted that two previous important Viennese symphonists, Beethoven and Schubert, had both died after completing nine symphonies; (...) at the time that he created this piece, it was seen as a final statement, as the last symphony of a man who excelled in the field. Thus, it had to be the most magnificent of all.

Here's an interesting radio comment about it with some excerpts:

Dvorak Birthday Symphony post!

Since the birthday boy pretty much disavowed his first 4 symphonies, let's just jump straight to Symphony 5, where stuff undeniably gets really good.

Symphony 5

Symphony 6

Symphony 7

Symphony 8

And finally Symphony 9. If you only listen to one Dvorak, listen to this.

Time has independent ultimate significance; it is of more majesty and more provocative of awe than even a sky studded with stars. Gliding gently in the most ancient of all splendors, it tells so much more than space can say in its broken language of things, playing symphonies upon the instruments of isolated beings, unlocking the earth and making it happen.

Robin- who was still getting used to being Robin, honestly, was in her room. Tallulah was staying over at Phil's for the weekend, and so, like the fun-killing mother she was, Robin had decided she would spend a night or two at Phil's, too. She wasn't his daughter, like they'd told Tallulah (and they'd have to tell her the truth eventually), but they were still close. There was a bond forged at the end and the beginning of the world, and that was hard to break.

Stretching, she scratched gently at her tawny brown feathers, cleaning out a tiny bit of the dirt clinging to them. She would need to preen them soon, she was sure of it. It would be a pain, but it would feel a lot better.

Review of Schubert: Symphonies Nos. 8 "Unfinished" and 9 "The Great," with Jordi Savall and Le Concert des Nations

The year 2022 must have been the year of Schubert, with at least three major sets of the composer’s Symphonies Nos. 8 and 9 appearing, one from Herbert Blomstedt and the Gewandhaus Orchestra (DG), another from Rene Jacobs and the B’Rock Orchestra (Pentatone), and this newest and best one of all from Jordi Savall and Le Concert des Nations (AliaVox). Such extraordinary attention couldn’t happen to a nicer composer.

Weill Not So Vile

Weill Not So Vile

By Kurt Weill (1900 –1950) I have: stand-alones of Symphonies 1 & 2; Mahogonny/Seven Deadly Sins; Three Penny Opera (Konig Ensemble); Three Penny Opera (Lotte Lenya). As mp3: Ute Lemper: Sings Weill; Lotte Lenya: Sings Weill. As lp to CD transfer: Berlin to Broadway/Martha Schlamme sings Weill; Lost in the Stars: The Music of Kurt Weill. My first exposure to Weill was, like many, Bobby Darin’s…
