Sad

Reflection, grief, loneliness: classical music has the power to capture the human spirit when it is at an all time low and can help us understand our feelings. This album portrays different facets of sadness that we have to endure as humans. The great composers knew exactly how this should be interpreted through music. We would like to say enjoy listening but be prepared to have the tissues handy.
  • 1. GRIEF 00:01:28 THIS SLOW, LYRICAL MOVEMENT COMES FROM THE HANDS OF THE ITALIAN COMPOSER MOST KNOWN FOR HIS DEPICTION OF THE SEASONS: ANTONIO VIVALDI. HERE, WE SEE HIS GIFT FOR CREATING EVOCATIVE AND EXPRESSIVE MELODIES AND, WITH THIS, A SENSE OF INTROSPECTION AND CONTEMPLATION. WE BEGIN WITH A SERENE AND CONTEMPLATIVE ATMOSPHERE, THE VIOLIN CENTRE STAGE, ALL THE WHILE INVITING THE LISTENER INTO A WORLD OF BEAUTY AND EMOTIONAL DEPTH. THE MUSIC PROGRESSES UNHURRIEDLY, WITH EACH INSTRUMENT AND MELODY ALLOWED TO RESONATE AND UNFOLD GRADUALLY, AND ARTFUL USE OF DYNAMICS.

  • 7. FALLING LEAVES 00:01:31 HANDEL'S SLOW MOVEMENT REVEALS HOW 20TH-CENTURY FILM COMPOSERS, LIKE ENNIO MORRICONE, DRAW INSPIRATION FROM CLASSICAL GEMS. THE EXPRESSIVE PIECE HIGHLIGHTS THE OBOE'S LYRICAL PROWESS IN A CHAMBER SETTING, CREATING A POWERFUL LAMENT (AS SEEN IN MORRICONE'S 'GABRIEL'S OBOE').

  • 9. DRUNK MAN'S SONG 00:01:31 THIS EXCERPT FROM CLEMENTI'S PIANO WORK POWERFULLY PORTRAYS THE TRAGIC TALE OF DIDO, ABANDONED BY HER LOVER AENEAS, INSPIRED BY AN OPERA OF THE SAME NAME. THE SLOW TEMPO UNFOLDS WITH DEEP EMOTION AND PATHOS. THE EXPRESSIVE AND POIGNANT MELODY, OFTEN CARRIED BY THE PIANO, EVOKES SOLEMNITY AND MELANCHOLY. THE STUMBLING, SLOW WALTZ-LIKE RHYTHM REFLECTS THE GRIEF OF DIDO, WHO KILLS HERSELF AFTER AENEAS' DEPARTURE. THE PIECE ALSO SUITS THE LAMENT OF SOMEONE INTOXICATED, INSPIRING OUR NEW TITLE.

  • 13. JESTER'S LAMENT 00:01:34 IN THIS PIECE, MOZART SKILLFULLY PORTRAYS LIFE'S SADNESS THROUGH THE WEEPING VIOLIN AND PULSATING STRINGS. THE OPENING CELLO PLUCKING ADDS A TOUCH OF MOCKERY, CONTRASTING WITH THE APPARENT SERIOUSNESS. WHILE MOZART WAS RENOWNED FOR HIS LIGHTHEARTED COMPOSITIONS, HERE, HE ADEPTLY EXPLOITS A TONGUE-IN-CHEEK APPROACH, CREATING A COMPELLING CONTRAST IN THIS POIGNANT MOMENT.

THROUGHOUT, GRIEG'S USE OF DYNAMICS AND PHRASING OF MELODIES CONTRIBUTES TO A SENSE OF EMOTIONAL EXPANSIVENESS, INVITING LISTENERS INTO A SERENE AND CONTEMPLATIVE MUSICAL SPACE. THE MUSIC PROGRESSES WITH A SENSE OF GRACEFUL CONTINUITY, GENTLY RISING AND FALLING LIKE A PEACEFUL CONTEMPLATION. THIS IS A CAPTIVATING AND INTROSPECTIVE MOVEMENT.
