I stood upon the shore Often has a sigh from your harp escaped and watched in sweet peace A sweet holy chord from you the cheery fish's bath The better time of heaven revealing to me. in the clear little brook. You, gracious art, I thank you for it. A fisher with his. rod Auf dem Wasser zu singen (To be sung on the Water) stood at the water-side, and watched with cold blood Amid the shimmer of mirroring waves as the fish swam about. The rocking boat glides like a swan; So long as the clearness of the water On the gently shimmering waves of joy remained intact, I thought, The soul glides just like the boat; he would not be able to capture the trout From the sky the sun's last rays shine down, with his fishing rod. Dancing all around the boat. But finally the thief grew weary Above the treetops of the grove in the west of waiting. He stirred up The pleasant ruddy glow beckons to us, the brook and made it muddy, Beneath the branches of the grove in the east and before I realized it, The reeds whisper in the ruddy glow; his fishing rod was twitching: And in the blushing glow the soul the fish was squirming there, Breathes heavenly joy and the calm of the grove. and with raging blood I gazed at the betrayed fish. Alas, on dewy wings does time Fly from me on the rippling waves. At the golden fountain Tomorrow, on shimmering wings, will time of youth, you linger so confidently; Escape me, as it did yesterday and today, But think of the trout, Until I met myself, with loftier, splendid wings, and if you see danger, flee! Shall escape the passage of time. Mostly it is from lack Vier Canzonen of cleverness that maidens miss the angling seducers. I So beware! otherwise you may bleed too late! Do not approach the urn Which contains my bones, This pitiful earth Du Bist die Ruh (You are Peace) Is sacred to my grief. Thou art repose I spurn the hyacinths you bring, and gentle peace. I do not want your tears. All earthly woes What use to the dead where thou art cease. are two tears, two flowers? Trouble shall flee Faithless one! You should have far from my soul; offered me a ray of hope My heart by thee while I still dragged out my life shall be made whole. in the vale of sighs.

My tented eyes from gloom of night The lone nightingale See Paradise, Flies from the hedge to the ash-tree, full of thy light. And sighing all the while, Calls to his faithful love. She, who can hardly hear him, Comes from branch to branch, And she seems to say to him: Do not weep, I am here. Above my bed hangs a carbon print of the painting by Gustav Klimt: Schubert. Schubert is singing songs for What lamenting is this, piano by candlelight with three little Viennese Misses. What gentle cries, Irene? Beneath it I scribbled: "One of my gods!

III I often read from Niggli's Schubert biography. Its intent, From that face 1 learned you see, is to present Schubert's life, not Niggli's thoughts to sigh with love, about it.

  • SCHUBOT: Machine Learning Tools for the Automated Analysis of Schubert’S Lieder
    SCHUBOT: Machine Learning Tools for the Automated Analysis of Schubert's Lieder by Dylan J. Nagler '14 submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for an AB degree with honors in Computer Science and Music Departments of Computer Science and Music Harvard College March 3, 2014 ABSTRACT This paper compares various methods for automated musical analysis, applying machine learning techniques to gain insight about the Lieder (art songs) of com- poser Franz Schubert (1797-1828). Known as a rule-breaking, individualistic, and adventurous composer, Schubert produced hundreds of emotionally-charged songs that have challenged music theorists to this day. The algorithms presented in this paper analyze the harmonies, melodies, and texts of these songs. This paper begins with an exploration of the relevant music theory and ma- chine learning algorithms (Chapter 1), alongside a general discussion of the place Schubert holds within the world of music theory. The focus is then turned to automated harmonic analysis and hierarchical decomposition of MusicXML data, presenting new algorithms for phrase-based analysis in the context of past research (Chapter 2). Melodic analysis is then discussed (Chapter 3), using unsupervised clustering methods as a complement to harmonic analyses. This paper then seeks to analyze the texts Schubert chose for his songs in the context of the songs' relevant musical features (Chapter 4), combining natural language processing with feature extraction to pinpoint trends in Schubert's career.

Charleston, WV, 1929) Crumb wrote these songs in 1947, the year he graduated high school and entered Mason College in his native Charleston, West Virginia. His now-wife of 70 years, Elizabeth May Brown, was the first to sing them and they are dedicated to her. They are wholly unlike the works that Crumb eventually became famous for—their sound is more early 20th century art song than the unique and otherworldly sound palette he would later develop. Crumb explained that in West Virginia at that time, Debussy was “almost an ultra-modern.” These songs, with delightful melodies and floating harmonies, show that young Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center Crumb, even before finding his mature style, still had a gift for music that is understated yet emotionally powerful. Crumb suppressed the vast majority of his student compositions but he’s allowed performance of these songs.

  • "Moments Musicaux” and "Impromptus" by Franz Schubert Yoko
    "My song implores from the darkest depths" "Moments Musicaux” and "Impromptus" by Franz Schubert Yoko Kaneko (fortepiano Graf, 1827) Although the life of Franz Schubert (1797-1828) was extremely short (31 years), it was perpetually overflowing with music of extraordinary genius. Did he not write more than a thousand works in 18 years, starting in 1810 (with a "Fantasy" for piano four hands) until his death in 1828, his last known work, according to the Deutsch catalogue, being a fugue ... ? It is true that several compositions remained unfinished, while others did not get beyond the preliminary stages, yet so many great works have come down to us perfectly formed. There are nine complete symphonies together with a tenth which has been reconstituted using existing fragments of music; 21 sonatas for piano together with many other piano pieces, including notably, military marches, the C major “Wanderer Fantasy”, the “Valses Sentimentales”, six “Moments Musicaux”, the “Hungarian Melody” “for piano, two books of four “Impromptus”, the “Fantasy" in F minor for piano four hands. The chamber music includes three “sonatinas” for violin and piano, a "Rondo", a “Fantasy" in C major, a Sonata for violin and piano and the “Arpeggione” sonata; fifteen string quartets; six trios either for strings or with piano; two quintets ( the “Trout”, for piano and strings and another for two violins, viola, and two cellos); an “Octet” for strings and winds; 185 chorals; eleven Masses; 15 operas ... and more than two hundred Lieder. The son of a elementary school teacher, expected to become a schoolteacher himself, Franz Schubert's musical gift would soon take over; at the age of 13, he composed a “Fantasy” for piano four hands which is still preserved.

Its third movement is that very minuet mentioned above, now so celebrated and almost unsurpassable in its bewitching elegance, which presents the Baroque courtly dance in stylised form, as if through a veil. If the image of Boccherini as a master of galant dance music has been bound up with this musical gem for generations now, it must be said that this is an unwarranted construct on the part of posterity. For such a notion underestimates the significance that is his rightful due in music history, especially as far as the development of chamber music is concerned.

Higgins a mhaith liom tréaslú leo siúd a d’eagraigh an mórcheolchoirm seo anocht agus, dar ndóigh, leis na ceoltóirí, damhsóirí agus na h-ealaínteoirí ar fad atá ag glacadh páirt sa chéiliúradh céad bhliain seo B den chultúr Ghaelach sa Bhreatain. I would like to extend my congratulations to the organisers and many artists involved in tonight’s Gala Concert, Irish Culture in Britain: A Centenary Celebration. If it is in the shadow of each other we live, it is in the cultural space we celebrate our heritage of words and music, a heritage in which we are both intertwined. As we commemorate the courage, dignity and ideals that characterised the events and people of 1916, we also celebrate the depth of connection between Ireland and Britain. Tonight you celebrate not only the rich cultural tradition across these islands, but also its contemporary expression, our new imaginings, and the many creative ways to sustain the artistic work that will form the next chapter of our shared story. Sabina and I would like to thank and congratulate all of those involved in tonight’s performance for their dedication and hard work in bringing about such a special evening, and in particular to John Gilhooly, who has made such an important contribution to the Ireland 2016 centenary programme. I wish to also congratulate Ann Murray on the presentation of the Wigmore Medal, in recognition of her significant international career.
