Chants D'Auvergne: Vol. II, No. 3: Pastourelle
https://youtu.be/Ke4k0TUDf2U?si=94fn5CpMGFesjdUlThe Chants D'Auvergne are amongst my favourite pieces of vocal music. "Baïlèro" is deservedly widely known, but there are so many others to love; for example, I cannot imagine ever tiring of "Pastourelle".
The songs also make me think about the relationship of folk music to concert music, regionalism in French culture, and the tension between art we like and politics we don't; Canteloube was a conservative who tied his promotion of the traditional music of the French regions to the values of the Vichy regime.

I was just reminded of Hanns Eisler's cantata "Gegen den Krieg". I once sang it with a choir and it was both challenging and beautiful.
And it's so apropos current events.

OK, thanks so much for revisiting with me, the music of my high school years.
Let's close with a beautiful ballad: "My Funny Valentine," live at the Philharmonic Hall, Feb. 1964, NAACP benefit concert.

Getting toward the end of the month....
OK, here's something different that might be odd to some ears: "Saturn," from "Interstellar Space." Things to listen to: (1) how there's cellular time, but not a pulse; (2) how Rashied responds to John's phrasing; (3) how John works the different registers of the tenor, and the overtones. A different vocabulary.

Continuing with funky '70s Miles Davis work, here's a jaunty A/B piece from "Get Up With It" called "Mtume," recorded in 1974. Musicians can be found on the wikipedia page; Miles is on the organ, and on trumpet through a wah-wah. Enjoy.
-
OK, as promised, here's "Black Satin" from Miles Davis' "On the Corner" (1972). Kinda defies category. You can see the extensive musicians list at the wikipedia entry for the album.
-
For Monday, listen to Miles Davis' "He Loved Him Madly," from "Get Up With It" (1974). Begins ambiently, then develops a slow pulse. Haunting.

In 1974 Herbie Hancock released "Thrust." Here's the album closer, "Spank-A-Lee." Maupin's neat and sometimes shouty solo over the top of everything kicks off at 3:05.

Back to Mr. Hancock. "Sextant" wasn't a hit, so it was time to throw down some funk. Here's "Chameleon," from "Head Hunters" (1973). Likely should be played loud.

Listen to "Spanish Key," from Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew" (1970). Large ensemble (see personnel below).

Listen to Miles Davis' "Right Off," recorded in 1970, released in 1971 as part of "A Tribute to Jack Johnson." Got Billy Cobham hittin' the 2 and 4 accents for that rock beat now. Likely should be played loud.

The logical next music to visit with, after "Filles de Kilimanjaro," is "In a Silent Way" (1969). Listen to "It's About that Time." Miles hasn't hooked up a wa-wa pedal yet, but Wayne has switched to soprano, and McLaughlin has arrived. The sound is evolving quickly.

After "Nefertiti" (1968), Miles Davis began to move away from a fully acoustic sound and toward what would be called fusion. Listen to "Tout de Suite," from "Filles de Kilimanjaro" (1968), as they make their way forward:
