Posted by ArlegZ at Sept. 10, 2024

1694: the first French opera composed by a woman is premiered at the Academie royale de musique.

Her gamble paid off, with six performances and the admiration of posterity: this flamboyant work has finally been brought back to the public by Reinoud van Mechelen.

Fin dall'infanzia, la scrittrice israeliana ne ha collezionati parecchi portandoseli dietro anche negli spostamenti più difficili di donna impegnata in varie cause, da Tel Aviv al Giappone e poi di nuovo a Gerusalemme..

Shifra Horn - Figlie di Gerusalemme eBooks & eLearning

Posted by Karabas91 at Oct. 23, 2024

«Il mio mentore e maestro Amos Oz affermava che per scrivere un libro devono essersi avverate due condizioni: un’infanzia difficile e una nonna che racconta le storie. Quelle due condizioni in me si sono realizzate». La scrittrice quarantenne Alexandra siede in una stanza di fronte alla bellezza senza tempo delle colline di Gerusalemme. Ha deciso di scrivere la storia della sua famiglia prendendo ispirazione dalla casa avita, oggi trasformata in residenza per artisti. Un luogo che fa tornare a galla le memorie delle sue antenate.

Posted by Karabas91 at July 10, 2018

"Quattro madri" racconta la storia di quattro generazioni di donne durante l'ultimo secolo a Gerusalemme. Amal, appartenente alla quinta generazione, è disperata poiché il marito, dopo la nascita del primo figlio, se n'è andato senza lasciare traccia. Al contrario sua madre, sua nonna e sua bisnonna si rallegrano dell'evento: la nascita di un maschio sano significa, infatti, che la lunga maledizione che pesava sulla loro stirpe è finita e non ci sarà più nessuna figlia femmina a ereditarla. Per consolarla, le donne raccontano ad Amal la storia di questa maledizione e la rassicurano sul suo destino e su quello di tutta la famiglia. Una famiglia di donne straordinarie: Mazal, l'orfana, dal cui matrimonio segnato dalla sciagura prende il via la maledizione; la bellissima Sarah, sua figlia, dai bei capelli dorati simbolo del suo potere taumaturgico..

Posted by delpotro at Feb. 28, 2018

The musical talents of Elizabeth-Claude Jacquet, who became Jacquet de La Guerre at her marriage in 1684 to the organist Marin de la Guerre, attracted the patronage of Louis XIVs court while she was still little more than a child. She was an admired singer, virtuoso player of the harpsichord and composer of at least one opera (Cphale et Procris, 1694), a number of cantatas both secular and sacred, trio sonatas and the harpsichord works recorded here.

Illinois Jacquet - The Illinois Jacquet Story: Flying Home (1944-1951/2002) Music

Posted by Domestos at July 9, 2018

Jean-Baptiste "Illinois" Jacquet (October 30, 1922 – July 22, 2004) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist, best remembered for his solo on "Flying Home", critically recognized as the first R&B saxophone solo. Although he was a pioneer of the honking tenor saxophone that became a regular feature of jazz playing and a hallmark of early rock and roll, Jacquet was a skilled and melodic improviser, both on up-tempo tunes and ballads. He doubled on the bassoon, one of only a few jazz musicians to use the instrument.

In 1981 Tenor Sax legend Illinois Jacquet pursued his career-long dream of assembling a truly great big jazz band in the tradition of his mentors, Count Basie and Lionel Hampton, bands with whom he recorded and toured in his youth. He would apply all the wisdom and experience he gleaned as their sideman, as well as from his years of leadership over his many small groups, and would include songs he made famous with his 'little big band' of the 1940s. The Illinois Jacquet Big Band was filled with luminaries and young stars, but unfortunately would only record one studio album entitled 'Jacquet's Got It' on Atlantic Records, in 1987. Here we have a very early snapshot of what that band was like at the world famous Village Vanguard club in 1987, New York City.

Elisabeth Jacquet (Couperin’s senior by three years) was a remarkable girl. A member of a family of musicians, at the age of only five she attracted the benevolent attention of Louis XIV by her harpsichord playing, and subsequently was taken under the wing of his favourite, Mme de Montespan. At 18 she married the organist Marin de la Guerre and became famous for the concerts she gave at her home, in which her powers of improvisation were greatly admired. She wrote trio sonatas, an opera (the first one by a woman to be produced in France), violin sonatas that include double-stopping, and two books of Cantates francaises on Old Testament subjects.
