Fri, 24 November 2006 In this episode we play the 2nd half of Sonata No.4 by Ludwig van Beethoven that we started in an earlier episode. There is much care and detail that Beethoven put into this piece. There are tempo changes, accented notes and complex rhythms. The music gets suddenly louder or softer. This music is characteristic of Beethoven's later period where he combined a lot of structures and changed things around. The movement starts with a slow section that is almost timeless in nature. You can hear a quote of the theme from the first movement. Later begins a faster more energetic section. There are a lot of interruptions but eventually the music drives towards the end. We hope you enjoy it. For feedback please e-mail cellojourney@gmail.com or leave comments.

Thu, 24 August 2006 The music
for this episode is Papillon (Butterfly) by Gabriel Faure. Recently I
happened to watch a butterfly in a field. It was either flying around
quickly or it would land to rest and you could see its beautiful wings.
In this piece there are fast parts and melodic parts. I think these
represent the behavior of a butterfly. I
hope you enjoy it. For feedback please e-mail cellojourney@gmail.com or leave comments on cellojourney.com Direct download: Cello_Journey_14_August_21_2006_Papillon_Butterfly_by_Faure_iPod_Edition.mp4 Category: podcasts -- posted at: 12:57 AM Comments[0] |

Mon, 14 August 2006 This is a special edition of Cello Journey. There is a pair of nice swans that live nearby and I thought I would put together a video of them along with the music of The Swan. They always swim together. I hope you enjoy it. Episode Info: In this episode we play a famous piece by the French composer Camille Saint-Saens called The Swan. It is a part of the Carnival of The Animals which is an orchestral suite but this is a section where the cello represents a swan and the accompaniment represents the rippling waters that the swan glides upon.

The music for this episode is the Hungarian Rhapsody by David Popper. It contains a number of Hungarian melodies and songs. The video is a bit out of sync with the audio towards the end.

Mon, 8 May 2006 In this episode I play another piece by David Popper. It is called a Tarantella. This type of dance comes from southern Italy. It is danced by couples and I think it is still played at some weddings to this day. It is fairly energetic, upbeat and I hope it gives you a bit of energy too. I recorded the comments separately because I found it hard to concentrate right after talking.

Tue, 2 May 2006 The music for this episode is a dance written by David Popper. He
lived about one hundred years ago and he was fairly well known at the
time. He travelled and performed on the cello and also wrote lots of
cello music. He must have been a very hardworking person. I think
this music is a bit lighter and more fun. It is a dance called a
Gavotte. Direct download: Cello_Journey_6_-_April_24_2006_-_iPod_Edition.mp4 Category: podcasts -- posted at: 7:15 PM Comments[0] |
Tue, 2 May 2006 There are some holidays coming up so I thought I would play something
more reflective and thoughtful. This is a dance called an Allamande,
also by Bach. I always think of it as being a bit shy at the beginning
and more outgoing towards the end. Please e-mail feedback to cellojourney@gmail.com Direct download: Cello_Journey_5_-_April_13_2006_-_iPod_Edition.mp4 Category: podcasts -- posted at: 7:14 PM Comments[0] |
Tue, 2 May 2006 In this episode I play a slower dance also by Bach. It is called a
Sarabande. You can try to imagine someone dancing to it if you like.

Tue, 2 May 2006 This episode I play something dance-like and folk-like. It is also
written by Bach. I will probably play more Bach in the future since he
wrote so much good music for solo cello. The feedback has been really
encouraging and I look forward to more. Thank you for watching. Direct download: Cello_Journey_3_-_April_1_2006_-_iPod_Edition.mp4 Category: podcasts -- posted at: 7:12 PM Comments[0] |
Tue, 2 May 2006 The music in this episode is The Swan by Camille Saint-Saens. It is
more singing in quality. This piece is normally played with a piano.
