Look at me, Leonard Look at me one last time1 La lenteur lui seyait comme à un autre le souffle. Sa voix grave, si près de l’inaudible, transgressait toutes les règles des feuilles de musique. Son corps était reptilien, gris, maigre. Son visage grivelé était serti d’yeux noirs, petits, sans grande expression. Une tristesse dans le regard, celui d’un saint-bernard. Humphrey Bogart sans son costume trois pièces en gabardine. Il se tenait debout près de la contrebasse au milieu d’une fumée blanche. -

Morre Leonard Cohen, Autor De '
Disciplina - Língua Estrangeira Moderna - Morre Leonard Cohen, autor de ''Hallelujah" LEM Enviado por: [email protected] Postado em:11/11/2016 Música e poesia em luto pela morte de Leonard Cohen Autor de ''Hallelujah'', que virou monge budista e saiu do exílio para recuperar o dinheiro roubado pelo empresário, faleceu nessa quinta-feira, aos 82 anos de idade. O lendário cantor e compositor Leonard Cohen, cujo trabalho inspirou músicos por mais de cinco décadas, morreu nesta quinta-feira, aos 82 anos. A gravadora de Cohen confirmou a notícia por meio da página oficial do artista no Facebook. “É com profundo pesar que informamos que o lendário poeta, compositor e artista Leonard Cohen faleceu”, diz a nota oficial. “Perdemos um dos mais reverenciados e profícuos visionários da música. As cerimônias fúnebres em memória a ele acontecerão em Los Angeles, em data a ser divulgada. A família pede privacidade durante seu período de luto.” A causa da morte não foi divulgada. Cohen foi uma espécie de líder velado de um pequeno grupo de cantores e compositores extremamente influentes que emergiram nos anos 60 e no início dos anos 70. “Entre eles, apenas Bob Dylan alcançou uma influência mais profunda em sua geração e talvez apenas Paul Simon e seu colega canadense Joni Mitchell se igualam a ele como letrista”, descreveu a revista Rolling Stone. Ele foi também um dos poucos artistas de sua geração a experimentar o sucesso no topo de seus 80 anos, lançando um álbum final, You Want It Darker, mês passado. -
As a New Generation Discovers Leonard Cohen's Dark Humour Kris Kirk Ruffles the Great Man's Back Pages by Kris Kirk
I stumbled out of bed. I got ready for the struggle. I smoked a cigarette, and I tightened up my gut. I said, This can't be me, must be my double. And I can't forget I can't forget I can't forget but I don't remember what. I Can't Forget I'm Your Man The following article is from Poetry Commotion, June 18, 1988. As a New Generation Discovers Leonard Cohen's Dark Humour Kris Kirk Ruffles the Great Man's Back Pages By Kris Kirk "The American attitude to Leonard Cohen is that I don't know how to sing -- 'These are great songs, sure is sad somebody else ain't singing 'em' - and that I'm marginal, totally outside the mainstream. It may finally be changing with this album, who knows? But I'm lucky I've always had a modest audience in Europe, otherwise I'd really be out of luck." Leonard Cohen chuckles. He chuckles a lot. Like his latest I'm Your Man album - with its famed "Lenny eats a banana" cover and its declaration (in "Tower of Song") that "I was born with the gift of a golden voice" - the so-called master of gloom is dead droll, particularly when he's sending himself up. "I agree this album's probably my best so far," he growls, lighting up yet another fag. "I think maybe I'm beginning to get the hang of it now." After how long? "Oh, after 20-odd years..." With a sell-out European tour culminating in a packed-to-the-gills additional third gig at the Royal Albert Hall, the rehabilitation -- resurrection from the dead -- of Cohen proceeds apace. -

Newsletter Escola De Música Da Junta De Freguesia Da Vila De Prado
Newsletter Escola de Música da Junta de Freguesia da Vila de Prado Julho a Dezembro de 2016/ Nº7 A Escola de Música da Junta de Freguesia da Vila de Prado lembra nesta edição um dos maiores compositores de todos os tempos: Leonard Cohen (1934-2016) Poeta, escritor e compositor. Nasceu em Montreal, na província do Québec, Canadá. Iniciou a sua atividade musical com 17 anos num trio de música Country, e paralelamente começa a escrever os seus primeiros poemas. Em 1956 lança o seu primeiro livro de poesia, Let us compare mythologies, seguido em 1961 por The spice box of Earth que lhe confere fama internacional. Escreveu mais obras ao longo da sua vida e em 2011 foi o vencedor do Prémo Príncipe das Astúrias das Letras. Consagrado como escritor decidiu tornar-se compositor e muda-se da Grécia para os Estados Unidos onde conheceu a cantora Judy Collins que grava duas das suas composições no seu disco In My Life (1966). Outros discos se seguiram “Songs from a room” (anos 60), Songs of love and hate (anos 70), Live songs (1973 disco ao vivo). Em 1974, Cohen decide se afastar do mundo da música, resultado não só de uma confessa falta de inspiração, mas também de sua insatisfação com as exigências do mercado. Regressa em 1977 com Death of a Ladies Man, trabalho marcado por grande insatisfação do cantor com os produtores. Em 1979 reaproxima-se do estilo dos seus primeiros trabalhos com Recent Songs, seguiu-se mais um período de reclusão, no qual se dedicou à escrita e ao estudo do Budismo. -
Leonard Cohen: a Crack in Everything the Jewish Museum April 12 – September 8, 2019
Leonard Cohen: A Crack in Everything The Jewish Museum April 12 – September 8, 2019 Exhibition Wall Texts LEONARD COHEN: MOMENTS COMPILED BY CHANTAL RINGUET Topos_JM_LC_WallTexts_24p.indd 1 4/4/19 12:34 PM SEPTEMBER 21, 1934 BIRTH OF LEONARD NORMAN COHEN IN WESTMOUNT Born into a Westmount Jewish family that was part of Montreal’s Anglo elite, Leonard Norman Cohen was the second child of Masha Klinitsky- Klein and Nathan Bernard Cohen. Lyon Cohen, Leonard’s paternal grandfather, a well- known businessman and philanthropist, was an important figure in the Jewish community. He started the Freedman Company, one of the largest clothing manufacturers in Montreal, and cofounded the Canadian Jewish Times (1897), the first English- language Jewish newspaper in Canada. Lyon Cohen was also president of several organizations, including the Canadian Jewish Congress and Congregation Shaar Hashomayim. He helped Jewish immigrants from the Russian Empire settle in Canada—among them, from Lithuania, the learned Rabbi Solomon Klinitsky- Klein and his family. Lyon’s son, Nathan Cohen, a lieutenant in the Canadian army and World War I veteran, later ran the family business. From his father, the young Leonard inherited a love of suits; from his mother, Masha, who trained as a nurse, he received his charisma and his love of songs. Cohen’s well- to- do family was quite different from the Jewish masses who arrived in Montreal in the early twentieth century. Many of these immigrants spoke Yiddish as their native language and worked in garment factories. Despite his extensive travels and his residence in Los Angeles, Cohen always returned to Montreal to “renew his neurotic affiliations,” as he often repeated in interviews.
