[…] comes Britten's folk-song setting, I will give my love an apple, originally created for voice and guitar. And then something completely different, a song from the 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory; I had forgotten what fun Lesley Bricusse and Anthony Newly's The Candy Man Can was, especially when performed as here with great élan and sense of enjoyment. Georges Enescu's Changeons propos is another, albeit very different, novelty. Setting a medieval French text by Clement Marot (from a set Enescu wrote in 1907/08) this is a one in praise of the pruning knife! Rather striking and why don't we hear more of these songs! We return to Britten, this time his realisation of Purcell's If music by the food of love, and both realisation and performance nudge the song in the direction of art song. Ray Henderson's You're the cream in my coffee was published in 1928 but has been performed […]

Le ton beau de Shostakovich, Hofstadter, etc.
[…] cryptically by DSCH (Shosty's own signature cryptogram), I deduced that Shostakovich would probably order a Double Shot Caramel Hazelnut latte for his daily Starbucks fix. A Double Shot Coffee Hot would perhaps suit his personality better, but I don't think that represents proper ordering protocol. Finally, having cited Radiolab yesterday, I need to mention that one of the most recent episodes features my hero, Douglas Hofstadter, talking about Le Ton beau de Marot*, which is only my favorite book in the history of books. Alas, it was only a brief segment introducing a show devoted to translation, but it did offer a chance to hear the author himself reading a series of translations of the little Clément Marot poem that inspired Hostadter's enormous book. And this reminds me that, of all the dozens of Marot translations arrayed throughout the book, I'm not convinced that any are as […]
