A Lenten Musical Journey, Day 27

Last updated on: March 16, 2015 at 4:03 pm By Joseph Susanka

I can never stay away from Bach for long. As evidenced by today’s selection, his “Komm, süßer Tod:” Komm, süßer Tod, komm selge Ruh! Komm führe mich in Friede, Weil ich der Welt bin müde, Ach komm! ich wart auf dich, Komm bald und führe mich, Drück mir die Augen zu. Komm, selge Ruh! Come, sweet death, come blessed rest! Come lead me to peace For I am weary of the world, Oh come! I wait for you, Come soon and lead me, Close my eyes. Come, blessed rest! Attribution(s): “Johann Sebastian... Read more

SSF: “Home Sweet Home”

Last updated on: March 16, 2015 at 6:14 pm By Joseph Susanka

I love me a good anthropomorphic tear-jerker. And today’s short film certainly fits that particular bill. (I was reminded of Disney’s animated adaptation of Virginia Lee Burton’s “The Little House” when I first saw this one. Similar in tone and even in look, though not quite as upbeat at the end.) The story of a house which escapes from its suburban foundations and sets off on an epic journey. Created by the talented Pierre Clenet, Alejandro Diaz, Romain Mazevet, and Stéphane Paccolat, made in Supinfocom Arles during... Read more

Jumping the gun on St. Joseph’s feast just a bit, but I simply cannot help myself. And so, here’s another Bruckner motet for today, this time his soaring, searing “Os Justi Meditabitur.” (Bonus brass version HERE.) Os justi meditabitur sapientiam, et lingua ejus loquetur judicium. Lex Dei ejus in corde ipsius: et non supplantabuntur gressus ejus. Alleluia. Inveni David servum meum, oleo sancto meo unxi eum. Alleluia. The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks what is... Read more

Vietnamese Cave + DJI Phantom 2 Drone = Stunning Video

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 6:10 pm By Joseph Susanka

Full-Screen and HD and take it away! Stunning. The location is Hang Sơn Đoòng (“Mountain River Cave”) in Vietnam, and the short’s creator is Ryan Deboodt. And with a bit of help from Laughing Squid, the two of ’em pretty much made my Sunday. Attribution(s): “Generic Vietnamese Cave” provided by Shutterstock. Although it’s hard to call anything as spectacular as that “generic.” Read more

In keeping with our (albeit brief) Saturday tradition, here is “Quando corpus morietur” from the Stabat Mater of Luigi Boccherini. (I didn’t even know Boccherini had a Stabat Mater until I started this project. Very cool!) Quando corpus morietur, Fac, ut animæ donetur Paradisi Gloria. Amen When my body dies Grant that to my soul is given The glory of paradise.

Each Piano, A Masterpiece

Last updated on: March 13, 2015 at 5:42 pm By Joseph Susanka

For some strange reason (connected to reworking their podcast delivery system, I think), the folks at NPR Control sent me a sort-of-random podcast this week. From something they did back in 2011. Something from the folks at Morning Edition called “Musical Innovation: A Grander Grand Piano.” Best mistake ever. Most pianos have 88 keys. And most great piano music comes from the middle of the keyboard — only rarely do the player’s fingers venture onto the tinkly keys at the top of... Read more

Today, “Christus Factus Est,” from Anton Bruckner. Christus factus est pro nobis obediens usque ad mortem, mortem autem crucis. Propter quod et Deus exaltavit illum et dedit illi nomen, Christ became obedient for us unto death, even to the death, death on the cross. Therefore God exalted Him and gave Him a name which is above all names. Attribution(s): “Anton Bruckner” by Josef Büche, licensed under Public Domain via Wikimedia Commons; “Bells” via Shutterstock.

Today’s selection is from the “Really Short and Really Sweet” category — almost too sweet for it’s subject matter, in fact — and comes from Franz Joseph Haydn’s lesser-known (but obviously-talented) brother, Johann Michael Haydn. I know him mostly for his wonderful pair of trumpet concerti, but his list of sacred compositions is quite imposing, as well. Here’s “In monti Oliveti,” from his Nine Responsories for Holy Week: In monte Oliveti ad patrem oravit: Pater si fieri potest transeat a me... Read more

Saying “Good-Bye” to Sherlock Holmes

Last updated on: March 12, 2015 at 10:15 am By Joseph Susanka

Stand with me here upon the terrace, for it may be the last quiet talk that we shall ever have. A friend who knows that I’m a) just a bit of a movie fan(atic), and b) that I’m almost as much of a fan(atic) when it comes to Sherlock Holmes, recently asked for my thoughts on the first clip we’ve seen from Bill Condon’s upcoming film project, Mr. Holmes. My initial thought? Much as I love Sir Ian, I prefer my Holmes a bit... Read more
