Canzon triste
Henri Duparc (21 gennaio 1848 - 1933): Chanson triste (1868) su testo di Jean Lahor alias Henri Cazalis. Jessye Norman, soprano; Dalton Baldwin, pianoforte.
Dans ton cœur dort un clair de lune
Un doux clair de lune d’été
Et pour fuir la vie importune
Je me noierai dans ta clarté.
J’oublierai les douleurs passées,
Mon amour, quand tu berceras
Mon triste coeur et mes pensées
Dans le calme aimant de…

Durand Jones & Kara Jackson Live Show Review: 5/9, Lincoln Hall, Chicago
BY JORDAN MAINZER
Even if you’re familiar with the retro stylings of Durand Jones & The Indications, Wait Til I Get Over (Dead Oceans) is a reintroduction. The solo debut for Jones is inspired by his roots in Hillaryville, Louisiana, a town established as part of reparations to previously enslaved Black folks, and it sees him grappling with his biographical history while gaining a greater sense of self. Contextualized in the duality of the South--the beauty of the landscapes and the simultaneous institutional racism that’s devastated it--Jones’ record traverses a swath of Black music, from soul and rock and roll to R&B and gospel. With spoken word interludes, hymnals, prayers, and laments, all backed by guitar, bass, keys, and drums, he’s provided a contemporary classic.
Playing his first solo show in Chicago on Tuesday at Lincoln Hall, Jones brought many of the album’s players with him, including drummer Ben Lumsdaine, guitarist Drake Ritter, keyboardist Matt Romy, and bassist Glenn Myers. They gave all the songs on Wait Til I Get Over the “Lord Have Mercy” treatment. On that first single from the record, Jones sings, “Can you see me in those sad, smiling eyes?” emphasizing the further contradictions within himself, his desire to overcome by keeping on. Similarly, it was the celebratory aspects of the music that shone live, the raw guitars and slinky bass and Jones’ dancing. He let out cathartic James Brown-level screams during “I Want You”, a described prayer for music written during a stint working at a science lab before music was his full-time employment. Though the orchestral flourishes on the studio versions of songs like “Gerri Marie” and “That Feeling” give them a cinematic feel, the songs didn’t lack drama on Tuesday. The moment Jones walked out on stage, clad in a fitted blue suit with white stripes, a saxophone in one hand and a drink in the other, you knew you were in for a show.
Further, sharing the stories behind the album, both in the rollout to the release of Wait Til I Get Over and Tuesday night, proved therapeutic for Jones, who has been citing James Baldwin’s belief in “strength in vulnerability.” That includes both the blue-eyed doo wop of “Sadie” and “That Feeling”, the latter of which was not only the first breakup song Jones has ever written but his first love song written to another man, effectively his coming out as bisexual. During the middle of “Some Day We’ll All Be Free”, essentially a Donny Hathaway cover with a verse from rapper Skypp injected in middle, Jones cited another vanguard of Black art, Nina Simone. “To be free is to live without fear,” he quoted over the band’s percussive funk, later declaring, “Love will win.” It’s the same sense of radical optimism that permeates a song like “See It Through”, existing alongside the doubts and sorrow, and the very ethos of Wait Til I Get Over. Towards the end of the show, Jones admitted that he almost had to cancel the tour; a bout with food poisoning led to 3 ER trips and a lost voice. But with patience and belief, Jones has used the spirit of the album and seemingly every show to move one step closer to where he needs to go, personally and communally.
Oak Park’s Kara Jackson has also released a hell of a debut, Why Does The Earth Give Us People To Love? (September); like Jones’, her set acted more as an introduction of a newfound voice than a faithful recreation of her released songs. Playing acoustically, Jackson sang a few new tunes in a short set, plus two from her 2019 EP A Song for Every Chamber of the Heart and Karen Dalton’s “Right, Wrong or Ready”. The latter showcased a few of the talents that would extend throughout the set: Jackson’s smoky, controlled, octave-leaping voice, her dexterous finger-picked guitar playing, her effective tempo changes. But the songs from Why Does The Earth were the true indicators of her poetry. At multiple times, the audience howled with laughter at Jackson’s directness. “Every man thinks I’m his fuckin’ mother,” she sang on “therapy”. “And if seeing you naked wasn’t such a bargain / It would be a home run,” she quipped on “no fun/party” right as her dress strap inadvertently fell, an admitted possible cosmic wink. Of course, “dickhead blues”, whose very announcement garnered the most cheers to an audience clearly already familiar with Jackson, was the highlight. The crowd wowed at how her wordplay and delivery followed along with her guitars during lines like, “My dilemma is always a dickhead / Who’s drunk on the daily news / Like coyotes in culottes / Clawin’ for coffee in open-toed shoes.”
I admit that I can’t wait to hear what Jackson’s new songs sound like with a full band, should she decide to play with one. On the album, she collaborated with Chicago wunderkinds KAINA, NNAMDÏ, and Sen Morimoto, whose lush, shimmering instrumentation alongside Jodi’s slide guitar gives many of the album’s songs a borderline theatrical feel, the furthest thing from Tuesday’s stark arrangements. Jackson was never going to play 7-minute epics like “free” and “rat” in a short opening set, nor the heartbreaking title track of her new album, an ode to romantic and platonic love, inspired by the death of a dear friend in high school. “I’ve buried old and young / I’ve watched them lower a saint / We’re only waiting our turn / Call that living?” she sings. Its wistfulness would not have been the best way to prime a crowd for Jones’ life-affirming songs, which Jackson undoubtedly knew. What she does have in common with Jones is the sheer ability to punch you in the gut, with a one-liner, bluesy guitar lick, or an octave change. Inevitably and deservedly, in due time, they’ll both be headlining bigger stages and reaching more people with the power of their stories.

*Throws down blankets and sleeping bags* TOP 5 CATS OF ALL TIME!? If not cats then books of all time? And why would you recommend them? Also any sweet gossp goin on? ANd who u crushin on?
good morning, my friend!
top five cats of all time in precise order:
eliza.
grace.
miesca.
mookie.
ben.
some of you may recall that last year i asked for book recs because i was trying to get back into reading. happy to report i read 12 books last year as was my goal and that this year i've already read 10! so now, some recommendations (not a top 5 really but let's see how we fare...):
small angels by lauren owen. a little bit of horror, mostly suspense. read this last year and it was my fave book of 2022.
the shades of magic series by v.e. schwab. i read this earlier this year and fucking devoured this trilogy. i love the world & the characters & i'm so excited to delve into some of the other material related to it.
giovanni's room by james baldwin. baldwin is one of my fave authors of all time and i am currently making my way back through his works starting with go tell it on the mountain. giovanni's room is stil probably the most beautifully rendered novel i've ever read.
the light pirate by lily brooks-dalton. really, really beautifully written and heartbreaking. the shifting perspective is evocative and then crushing. definitely very much about climate change and so i can't necessarily recommend if you suffer from as much environmental existentialism as i do, but it's a very worthwhile read.
the hobbit by j.r.r. tolkien which i'm sure you've already read but which i cannot make a list of books without including.
no hot goss, i'm afraid. i live a pretty sheltered life with very few exciting things happening in it a;ldkjfasl;dfj. aside from kakashi, i'd say my main crushes rn are holland and lila from shades of magic and alucard from castlevania, ahaha.

“When out of Egypt Israel was brought
From among the barbarians
When out of heathendom
The children of Jacob were brought
Then Judea was dedicated to God
And Israel glorified
As the heir to His kingdom.“
“So that no longer
Can the heathen ask in mockery:
‘Where is your all-powerful God
Who watches over you?’
The Lord, our God, is enthroned in heaven
And whatever He would do
He does, Almighty, kind, and wise.“

Las 10 (+1) mejores canciones francesas de la historia (VI)
7.
Henri Duparc: Chanson triste
Triste historia la de Duparc, para quien habría que invertir los términos del adagio clásico. Vita longa, ars brevis. Vivió 85 años, pero dejó de componer a los 38 por sus recurrentes problemas mentales. Para entonces había destruido buena parte de su obra. Por suerte amnistió trece de sus canciones, compuestas todas entre 1868 y 1885, y de las que llegó a orquestar ocho. A estas trece se unieron luego otras cuatro escritas entre sus 20 y 21 años de edad (1868-69) que habían sido convenientemente repudiadas, pero no destruidas, para conformar uno de los corpus más exquisitos de la historia de la música.
Discípulo de Cesar Franck, admirador a la vez de Berlioz y de Wagner, en las canciones de Duparc flota continuamente el ambiente dramático del teatro, como si la escena (inexistente) en un recital estuviera sutilmente sugerida por la especialísima fusión que el compositor lograba entre la voz (con abundantes recursos declamatorios), el acompañamiento (de extraordinaria riqueza armónica y con eficaces apuntes retóricos) y el texto. El poder evocativo de Duparc aparece ya en la primera de esas trece canciones que consideró dignas de perdurar, Chanson triste, escrita en 1868 (es decir, a los 20 años) sobre un poema de Jean Lahor.
A partir de una nota pedal en el bajo, Duparc compone un acompañamiento casi exclusivamente de arpegios con escalas que suben y bajan sucesivamente en torno a un juego de modulaciones que parecen sugerir las ondulaciones del corazón mecido en los brazos de la amada. ¿Se sintió ya Duparc concernido por expresiones que aludían a la “cabeza enferma” y la curación a través del amor? Quién sabe. En 1904, el compositor restaba importancia a sus canciones: “No me habléis de genio. [...] He compuesto algunas melodías en las que simplemente puse mi alma con absoluta sinceridad: ese es todo mi mérito. Ahora aquella pequeña fuente se ha secado, eso es todo; sólo me afecta a mí, pero lo extraño mucho. [...] Para mí, la música inspirada por un poema no tiene razón de ser si no es capaz de añadir algo a ese poema, si no es capaz de hacerlo más incisivo para las almas que se conmueven con la expresión musical; pero hay poemas perfectos, tan plenos en sí mismos que diría yo que la música –incluso la más bella, la que soy incapaz de hacer– sólo puede achicarlos”.
Ofrezco una versión de la maravillosa Elly Ameling con el acompañamiento del ilustre Dalton Baldwin en el ya lejanísimo año de 1980. La traducción del poema es mía.

Chanson triste
Dans ton coeur dort un clair de lune,
Un doux clair de lune d’été,
Et pour fuir la vie importune,
Je me noierai dans ta clarté.
J’oublierai les douleurs passées,
Mon amour, quand tu berceras
Mon triste coeur et mes pensées
Dans le calme aimant de tes bras.
Tu prendras ma tête malade,
Oh! quelquefois, sur tes genoux,
Et lui diras une ballade
Qui semblera parler de nous;
Et dans tes yeux pleins de tristesse,
Dans tes yeux alors je boirai
Tant de baisers et de tendresses
Que peut-être je guérirai.
Canción triste
En tu corazón duerme la luz de la luna,
la dulce claridad de una luna de verano,
y por huir de las contrariedades de la vida,
me anegaré en tu claridad.
Olvidaré los dolores pasados,
amor mío, cuando acunes
mi triste corazón y mis cuitas
en la calma amorosa de tus brazos.
Tomarás mi cabeza enferma,
¡oh!, a veces, en tu regazo
y me cantarás una balada
que parecerá hablar de nosotros;
y de tus ojos llenos de tristeza,
de tus ojos tomaré entonces
tantos besos y caricias
que quizás me cure.

Year of Wonder selection Day 7 - performed by the Queen, versatile American Opera singer Jessye Norman ♥️ composed by French composer and pianist Francis Poulenc
I did let this book get away from me a little and will spend the weekend catching up. However, this piece.. I just heard this beautiful piece from the 7th and omg, my heart. It was like the Angels came down and graced me with their presence. I felt a tear well up in the corner of my eye. It's definitely the inclusion of Jessye's vocals on this selection.
However, Clemency Burton-Hill hits the nail on the head with this selection for Day 7, what a wonderful way to end the first seven days of a new year. If the year started on a Sunday and you heard this magnificent piece of music in Saturday night right before the clock stroke midnight, the majesty of it, the breathtaking nature of it, could almost feel like starting the year all over again anew. It would almost feel like a do-over.
Im so taken away by this selection today that I’m so glad someone compiled this playlist for year of wonder on both Apple Music and Spotify.
Considering the layers of classical music, how many times a piece has been reimagined by this virtuoso or that, it would have been so hard for me to find the one that really shines. I’m so glad someone more experienced with classical than me put together the playlists to really capture the beauty of what Clemency Burton-Hill is sharing in Year of Wonder.
I couldn’t imagine experiencing ‘Les Chemins de l’amour” any other way that hearing Jessye Norman sing it, now that I’ve heard her sing it. It’s so, so beautiful. Hear it for yourself!
Onward to the rest of the days!
