Ludovico Einaudi – Inizio

Played by me on Korg M50 Piano. Song from ”I giorni” (#11). Hope you enjoy. More info and music at: facebook.com/halosphere soundcloud.co…

What does it mean when a musical note (piano; whole) has a double vertical line on either side of it? I was playing a piece by Ludovico Einaudi called “Inizio” and came across this notation–it is the first time I’ve seen it in looking at hundreds of pieces of music. Has anyone else ever seen this? Can you help me out?

it means that particular note is not in the key signature. more specifically.lets say you were playing in the key of .ahhhh.lets just say D minor.D minor only has one sharp (actually it has no sharps, just one flat)So the whole song you play and play and play and everytime you get to a B note, you play it flat cuz B is flat in the key of D minor. But if the B has those two little lines on each side, that means you play it natural, so you’ll just play B, not Bflat, even though B is not in key and Bflat is.feel me? hope that helped

A whole note with pairs of parallel vertical lines on each side would be a double whole note (8 beats). They are not very common, but they do exist. They are usually found as the last note in a piece or in time signatures with eight or more quarter note beats per measure, such as 4/2.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_whole_note

BigJ has it right. In the UK we would call it a ‘breve’.And you really shouldn’t be wasting your time on that terrible instrumental pop.

What was life like in London during the reign of Elizabeth the 1st? I need to find out what life was like in London during this period. Please help? 10 points to the best answerer, its for my English homework.

I suggest you read books around that period,C.J.Sansom has written some excellent ones,some marginally earlier.Even looking around the net will help you to get a “feel”.Don’t be lazy !

In ‘Elizabethan England’ Alison Plowden writes:The heart and centre of Elizabethan London was the City, bounded by the river and by its ancient Roman and medieval walls. The City was the centre of merchantile life, run by the Aldermen, who belonged ot the Liveried Companies, which evolved out of t he medieval guilds. The liveried companies regulated trading practises, laid down standards of workmanship, dctated and suerpvied working conditons and the treatment of apprentices, and provided welfare for orphans, widows, the sick, and maintained almshouses and schools.Along the Strand, connecting London proper with the royal suburb of Westminster, lay a string of great mansions with gardens running down to the river. These houses, many of which are commemorated by modern street names, included Arundel House, Essex House, Somerset House, the Savoy (once John of Gaunt’s palace, Russel, House, Worcester and Durham Houses; all combined to tmake this the most fashionable and exclusive part of the town. Beyond Westminster was the country, with the riverside villages of Chelsea, where Queen Elizabeth had spent some of her girlhood, Putney, Hammersmith and Chiswick, where the boys of WEstminster school were evacuated in time of plague.The Thames, then a crystal stream ‘full of swans white as snow’ according to a foreign visitor, played a vital part in the life of the capital and was alive with craft of every kind – wherries (the taxis of Elizabethan London), plying for hire, private barges, skiffs, lighters and sailing ships – for everyone, from the Queen downwards, used the river for convenience, pleasure and gtrade. Ferries operated from several places, for London Bridge, connecting the c/ity with Southwark and the Dover Road, was still the only other means of crossing from north to South. This bridge, one of the sights of Europe, was an astonishing stlructure built on 20 arches of squared stone 60 ft high and lined on both sides with houses, shops and chapels ‘so that it seemeht more a continual stree than a bridge’. There were towers with gates in them at either end, and a drawbridge which could be raised both for defense and to allow tall-masted ships to pass upstream to the dock basin of Queenshithe. An additional point of interest was the display of shrivelled heads of those executed for high treason which were impaled on poles over the tower guarding the drawbridge – the Duke of Wuttertemberg counted 34 of them on one occasion in 1592.The first thing that must have strukc most visitors was the din: the clatter and hammering from a thousand workshops, the rumble and squeak of cart-wheels, the lowing of cattle being driven to market, the raucous cries of street vendors proclaiming their wares (anything from hot mutton pies to mouse-traps) and the constant noisy sales patter of shopkeepers standing in their doorways to lure the passers-by with their ‘What do ye lack?’The crowds too, with their vigorous and free and easy ways came as something of a shock to the newcomer. Pickpockets and cutpurses mingled with sober groups of merchants in long furred gowns on their way to do business at the new Royal Exchange, and with gaggles of smartly dressed housewives out shopping. Apprentices and maidservants, making and earrnad last as long as they could, joined in backchat with urchins hoping to earn a penny by holding some fine gentleman’s horse. Gangs of boys from rival schools engaged in running battles, using their satchels as weapons, and the drivers of carts and drays exchanged insults and sometimes blows over a disputed right of way.London already had traffic problems. ‘The number of carts, drays and coaches, more than hath been accustomed, the streets and lanes being straitened (narrow) must needs be dangerous, as daily experience proveth.’ wrote John Stow. But there was no stopping the march of progress in ‘the storehouse and mart of all Europe’ the magent which attracted the trade of the civilised world. ‘Most of the inhabitants’ wrote Thomas Platter ‘are employed in commerce. They buy, sell, and trade in all corners of the globe, for which purpose the water serves them well since ships from France, the Netherlands and Germany and other countries land in this city, bringing goods with them and loading others in exchange.’ ‘What can there be in any place under the heavens’ asked the dramatist John Lyly ‘that is not in this nobel city either to be bought or borrowed?’

How did Peter Pan affect our history? or “historical relevance” ?
There are seven statues of Peter Pan playing a set of pipes, cast from a mould by sculptor George Frampton, following an original commission by Barrie in 1912. The statues are in Kensington Gardens in London, England; Liverpool, England; Brussels, Belgium; Camden, New Jersey, United States; Perth, Western Australia; Toronto, Ontario,[2] Canada; and St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada. A new bronze statue by Diarmuid Byron O’Connor was commissioned by Great Ormond Street Hospital in 2000, showing Peter blowing fairy dust; it was unveiled in 2005 by Countess of Wessex. A limited edition of it has been created to raise money for the children’s charity.[3]Three thoroughbred racehorses have been named Peter Pan, the first born in 1904.Peter Pan peanut butter was renamed in 1928, and features a silhouette of him on the label.Peter Pan Bus Lines, founded in 1933, feature the character in their logo, which appears on the sides of their white-and-green buses.Peter Pan Records is a publisher of audio recordings for children, founded in the 1950s.An early 1960s program in which Cuban children were sent unattended to Miami to escape feared mistreatment under the then-new Castro regime was called Operation Peter Pan’ or ‘Operación Pedro Pan’.The term Peter Pan syndrome was popularized in 1983 by a book with that name, about individuals (usually male) with underdeveloped maturity.Peter Pan appears at the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts as a meetable character, and in the dark ride, Peter Pan’s Flight.Peter Pan appears in Shrek and Shrek the Third. Captain Hook appears briefly in Shrek 2 and far more in Shrek the Third.The Disney version of Peter Pan appears in House of Mouse, The Lion King 1½, Mickey’s Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse and the Kingdom Hearts video games.Some have considered the flying scene from Peter Pan to be very similar to that from the 1978 film Superman. In fact, before Superman takes Lois Lane in their famous flight scene, they briefly mention Peter Pan in their conversation.J.R.R.Tolkien’s biographer Humphrey Carpenter has speculated that Tolkien’s impressions of a production of Barrie’s Peter Pan in Birmingham in 1910 “may have had a little to do with” the original conception of Elves of Middle Earth.[4]All Time Low’s song, “Stay Awake (Dreams Only Last For A Night)” was written about Peter PanIn the popular videogame Ocarina of Time, part of The Legend of Zelda series, the race of the Kokiri as well as the main protagonist Link bear a striking resemblance to Disney’s interpretation of Peter Pan wearing green tunics with tights. The Kokiri also share qualities with the Lost Boys as they never grow older. The main protagonist Link along with all the Kokiri children bear fairies from birth and Link’s fairy Navi is reminiscent of Tinkerbell.

Jewish Music – Hava Nagila

What is the name of the Jewish music in Family Guy “Road to Germany”? It was played during the seventh season Family Guy episode called, “Road to Germany”, when Stewie and Bryan go to a bar mitzvah and everyone is dancing.

Download and print Hava Nagila by music Folk sheet music

That music was an original composition by the music director and composer on Family Guy Walter Murphy. The music borrowed heavily from the pace and melody of the song “Hava Nagila” which is a Hebrew folk song that has become a music staple at Jewish weddings

In the Olympics US gymnastics team, what song was on when Ally performed? I can’t quite remember what she was performing but, in general, does anyone know the songs she used? There was a slower tune that sounded like a guitar or similar stringed instrument and the melody was just haunting <3. Please help =] i tried to forget about it but they replayed it and i turned to watch AGAIN at the same part at the end while her parents were watching on XD
Aly Raisman’s floor music is a Hebrew folk song called Hava Nagila. Her floor music can be found here-youtube.com/watch?v=NF7IML_b3Rw

What Pink Floyd song did Aly Raisman use in her floor exercise? The one that got her the gold medal two days ago. Thank you!
“Shine On You Crazy Diamond”, dedicated to their drugged out former bandmate Syd Barrett. Classic Floyd!

Aly Raisman’s music is called Hava Nagila, it’s a Hebrew folk song. It’s not a Pink Floyd song. One of the Russian gymnasts used the Pink Floyd song shine on your crazy diamond.

Pink Floyd may have done a cover, though I doubt it. Anyways, the song she performed to was called ‘Hava Nagila’, which is an old Hebrew folk song. (Aly Raisman is Jewish.)

Sandra Izbasa of Romania used the Pink Floyd song Shine? On You Crazy Diamond. Aly Raisman used Hava Nagila

what kind of music instruments are traditionally played in a jewish wedding for the chupa (walk down the isle) when walking down the isle in a jewish wedding (chupa part of the wedding) what musical instruments are good to have playing and which songs?I know its a matter of taste, but i have none 🙂 so please give me some ideas.Thanks

A jewish couple narrates what happens during a ceremony.beneden.com/wedding/jana&daniel/ceremony.html________________________________________________instruments?The shofar, predecessor of the modern trumpet, is the quintessential Jewish instrument. The association of wind instruments with profound mystical spirituality should come as no surprise, as it is implicit in the word itself! Trumpet (Hebrew: khatzotz’ra) come from “two little words:” khatzu (broken) and tzarot (troubles.)Two other instruments that seem to be particularly popular with Jewish musicians are the violin (Chagall’s depictions of the Shtetl fiddler are only too well-known!) and the clarinet.templesanjose.org/JudaismInfo/song/music.htmjochnowitz.net/Essays/JewishComp.html

I’ve seen violins, string quartets, electric keyboard, regular pianos, jazz trios–anything that suits you. There is no “traditional” Jewish walking to the chuppah music. Anything you want will be fine!Mazel Tov and enjoy your wedding!

What is the Jewish Horah in dance?
The horah (????), which is somewhat different from that of some of the Eastern European countries, is widespread in the Jewish diaspora and played a foundational role in modern Israeli folk dancing. It was brought to Israel by the Romanian settlers in the second half of the 19th century and became the symbol of the reconstruction of the country by the socialistic-agricultural Zionist movement.It is usually performed to Israeli folk songs, and sometimes to Jewish songs, typically to the music of Hava Nagila.To start the dance, everybody forms a circle, holding hands, and steps forward toward the right with the left foot, then follows with the right foot. The left foot is then brought back, followed by the right foot. This is done while holding hands and circling together in a fast and cheerful motion to the right. Large groups allow for the creation of several concentric circles.In the early days, Horah was popular mainly in the Kibbutzim and small communities. Later it became a must in group dances throughout Israel, and at weddings and other celebrations by Jews in Israel, the United States and Canada. The dance appeared in North America in the early 20th century, well before modern Israeli independence, brought directly from Eastern Europe by Jewish immigrants.At bar and bat mitzvahs, it is customary to raise the honoree and his or her family members on a chair during the horah. This is also done nowadays at many Jewish weddings, following the Israeli tradition.The song Hora, sung by Avi Toledano, who represented Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest 1982, is based on this dance.

Anyone here who has knowledge about Jewish music? I am interested in studying Jewish music. Will also post in the music section.
You’re going to have to get more specific than that, I’m afraid. :)Our people have spread to virtually every corner of the globe, and the cultural impact has been profound. My favorite style of Jewish music, for example, consists largely of religious poetry written by the Jews of the Levant. To the untrained ear, it sounds like Arabic music, when in fact, it’s in Hebrew, and the songs themselves are often inspired from the Bible or an ancient Jewish liturgical tradition.Perhaps you mean klezmer? This is a style of Eastern European folk music that for many has become synonymous with “Jewish music” (imagine Hava Nagila being played on the clarinet). In fact, as it happens, I’m currently studying in Hungary and was talking to someone about this style of music. They knew of klezmer, but it did not have for them the connotation of being specifically Jewish. Weird, huh? In any event, to me, Romani (Gypsy) music and Jewish klezmer music are nearly indistinguishable.In any event, Jewish music has changed so much over different time periods and in different places. Then there’s modern Israeli music, much of which isn’t particularly Jewish per se, but from what I’ve heard, the Israelis are known for producing really good techno music.If you could clarify your question as to whether you’re looking for info on Ashkenazi musical traditions, Oriental traditions, Biblical music (note that many psalms begin with instructions as to what instruments should accompany them, and no doubt did, when the Temple stood), etc., I’ll see what I can find for you.
