Red and Purple attempting a dialog of the car-me-lites (TM). Red is singing Blanche today, and Purple is singing the Marquis de la Force who is with her at the Ford Theatre. The two meet on a subway car named Desire, in New York, on the West Side, First Toy Story when Grand Mercury is in Retrograde and Red is Blacklisted. It's complicated.

having feelings about this at 12:30 am and realizing that there may not be another stretch of seventy-one seconds in opera that make me feel as devastatingly seen as this

(met 1987 with maria ewing as blanche de la force)

Every once in a while I think about the final movement of the Poulenc Stabat Mater and just have to sort of sit there and gibber, mentally, at the sheer levels of yearning expressed in it

#francis poulenc #i sang in this piece last year #with jeanine de bique as the soprano soloist #and while the choir conductor drama got pretty upsetting #i adore this piece #so many feelings #we did the dialogues des carmelites final scene in the same concert with de bique as blanche #the other nuns were women from the chorus #(not me of course i am not in the top 15 singers)#(and i was not in the choir when auditions were held)#when i talked to people about the concert the carmelites overshadowed everything #which is understandable but also #the stabat mater is so good #that final amen #it's the most anguished thing ever #we've been singing about paradise but we are NOT YET THERE #Youtube

Classical Pride

I know I'm too late for Pride Month. And I wasn't planning on posting much this year related to Pride, mostly because the category of "queer composers" includes a large span of styles and eras where the sexuality or gender identity may not necessarily be relevant to the music.

However (at the very least here in America) the political atmosphere has made queerness "controversial" again, and whenever there's a vocal effort to erase queerness and insist upon a heteronormative view of culture, history, biology, psychology, morality, etc. it only ever leads to real world harm for all of us.

So I don't think Pride Month should end just because the corporate calendar is ready for the next marketable holiday or season; don't be afraid to say "Gay" or "Trans" or "Queer", we exist and have always existed and here are some contributions to classical music history (with a few significant Jazz composers).

This list is a mix, mostly music by LGBT composers (either those who self-identify, or those who were alive before the category was articulated but evidence shows they could be classified as "queer"), and some that are on queer subjects (i.e. the only Bach piece here is an aria he wrote for a cantata where the sun god Phoebus (Apollo) mourns the death of his lover Hyacinth, and accepts that through love he is never truly dead).

If there are any LGBT composers, or thematic works, that you think should be included, please let me know!

Kinda hate that the blorbos took over my mind because I'll be at the opera (bless student discounts) enjoying myself, hear "J'ai le fil autour de mon cou/J'ai ta voix autour de mon cou" ("I've got the [phone]cord around my neck/I've got your voice around my neck") and immediatly be like

that would make a great vegaspete fanfiction

today is july 17, 2023, aka the 229th anniversary of the execution of the martyrs of compiègne and the date of the ending of poulenc’s dialogues des carmélites.

one of the most devastating scenes in all opera.
