Classicalite's Five Best: Rosh Hashanah Musical Works
Five Quickies: Il Divo on Broadway, Zach Braff in 'Bullets Over Broadway,' Chris Thile's Mandolin Bach, Verizon's Droid Mozart Ad, Brolin Family Rock Opera
And with the world's best musicians, singers, dancers and actors going back to repertory work after their summer stocks, there's more good news happening now than there was, say, back in August. Swingin’ on the Gallows Pole: Harlots, Hugs and Haupstimme in Schoenberg's "Galgenlied" [TRANSLATION]
With a metrical duration of 13 measures (plus an anacrusis) and an overall existence of slightly less than 20 seconds, "Galgenlied"--the 12th of Arnold Schoenberg's 'Dreimal Sieben Gedichte' from the minor Belgian Symbolist Albert Giraud's '50 Rondels Bergamaques'--is the shortest, most concise movement of the former's 1912 melodrama 'Pierrot Lunaire, Op. 21.'
