Many thanks UkrainianTracksuit for your interesting experience about how you came about this most unusual song.
I “fell” for it when I heard it and thought about my recent sepsis-survival and realized that “The Highwayman” is indeed a most unusual and most encouraging survival-song and is very encouraging in its own way, because, after all, it points out that we are still here and, most importantly, alive…  :waving;

G.F.Haendel - Watermusic (Minuett I-II-etc) played and wonderfully danced by the English Bach Festival Musicians & Dancers at the Banqueting House in Whitehall London. Unfortunately the picture quality is not good, but it does convey the fun of Baroque dancing.

G.F.Haendel - Watermusic (PART II: Air-Menuet-Bourreé-etc.)
Again with the English Bach Festival Musicians and Dancers at The Banqueting House – Whitehall London and fortunately this time with a much better picture quality…

When I (hopefully soon ) feel a little better I am going to read "Memoirs of Madame du Barry" by Pidansat de Mairobert.
 
Jeanne Bécu, Comtesse du Barry (19 August 1743 – 8 December 1793) was the very last Maîtresse-en-titre of Louis XV of France and one of the victims of the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution ... and today I came across this most interesting and eerie "A night at the Palace of Versailles" and the sound certainly emphasizes the unusual eeriness of Versailles as it is now:

and ... there is also "a day at Versailles" :

Jacqueline Mary du Pré  (1945 - 1987) was a British cellist. At a young age, she achieved enduring mainstream popularity. Despite her short career, she is regarded as one of the greatest cellists of all time.
Her career was cut short by multiple sclerosis, which forced her to stop performing at the age of 28; she died 14 years later at the age of 42.

Sorry to share this  :P but the odd Serbian language songs that I picked up while being in Balkan grocers have come back to my mind with the whole Novak Đoković soap opera. Maybe it will be an earworm for you too.  :lol;

Alexandra (1942-1969)

My friend the tree:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWOz6NcAVOk

I've wanted to see you again for a long time
my old childhood friend,
I had a lot to say to you
and knew you would understand me.
I came to you when I was a little girl
with all the child worries.
I felt safe with you
and all my sorrow flew away.
I cried in your arms
you stroked me with your green leaves
over my hair, my old friend.

My friend the tree is dead
he fell in the early morning.

You fell this morning, I was late
you will never sway in the wind again
you must lie fallen on the way,
and some who pass by
he doesn't care about the rest of life
and tears at your green branches,
who bow to the ground, dying.
who will give me the rest now
that I found in your shadow?
I lost my best friend
that linked me to my childhood.

My friend the tree is dead...

Soon a house of glass and stone will grow
where he was knocked down
soon gray walls will rise
where he lies in the sunshine.
Maybe there will be a miracle
I will secretly wait
maybe a garden blooms in front of the house,
and he comes to life again.
But then he is still weak and small,
and though many years pass
he will never be the same.

Michel Sardou (born 1947 in Paris, France)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DD7f3yUZEQ

Lyrics of the song My last dream will be for you by Michel Sardou

They took my pens,
My office, my papers,
Found behind my back
My unpaid bills.
They took my car,
My apartment, my TV.
They told me "You're a pan,
You've got it for years!"
They came one morning
In Colombo raincoats,
Bailiffs, notaries,
URSSAF and taxes.

I saw them satisfied
Of duty accomplished,
The media, the Palace

And then everything that follows
But my love,
They won't have it.
my last dream
Will be for you.

They took my songs,
My piano, my checkbook.
They put in the truck
My beautiful signed paintings.
They took my suits,
My addresses, my fingerprints,
My tapes, my thrillers.
The others filed a complaint.
They put me in sight
My company accounts.
They told me "Watch out
And then to your health!"


I saw them satisfied
Of duty accomplished,
The media, the Palace
And then everything that follows
But my love,
They won't have it.
my last dream
Will be for you.

They took my boat,
They read my mail.
They took me...

Two renaissance dances (composed in 1613) by Erasmus Widmann (1572–1634), mandolin guitar mandocello.
Erasmus Widmann was a South German composer. He was born at Schwäbisch Hall and studied in Tübingen. His first musical positions were in Eisenerz (1596), Graz (1596), Schwäbisch Hall, and from 1602 Kapellmeister to Count Wolfgang von Hohenlohe-Weikersheim until the count's death in 1610. Then he became cantor and organist at Rothenburg ob der Tauber.

Michel Charles Sardou (26th January 1947 in Paris, France) is a French singer and occasional actor. He is known not only for his love songs ("La maladie d'amour", "Je vais t'aimer"), but also for songs dealing with various social and political issues, such as the rights of women in Islamic countries ("Musulmanes"), clerical celibacy ("Le curé"), colonialism ("Le temps des colonies", "Ils ont le pétrole mais c'est tout") or the death penalty ("Je suis pour"). Another sometimes controversial theme found in some of his songs ("Les Ricains" and "Monsieur le Président de France" for example) is his respect and support for the culture and foreign policies of the United States of America.

English Translation of Vladimir Ilitch (first release in French by Michel Sardou in 1983)

P.S. I have tried very hard to create a chance for this song to be enjoyed without any commercials but unfortunately this seems to be impossible and I am very sorry about that... if by any chance anyone here is able to cut-out these terrible commercials I would be very grateful indeed...

A Siberian wind blows over Bohemia.
Women are angry at mill doors.
From the banks of the Volga to the Niemen delta,
Time has passed, it has passed for nothing.
Since no god in heaven is interested in us,
Lenin, stand up,
They've gone mad!
 
You, Vladimir Ilyich,
You're right, you laugh.
You who have traveled in an armored wagon.
When you see the Holy Father your cousin from Poland
Bless all his followers in his armored car.
 
You, Vladimir Ilyich,
At least you shiver
Seeing the drawers of the bureaucracy
Filled with all the names of people imprisoned
Or the ones sent to die at the country's frontiers ...
 
You, Vladimir Ilyich,
In the sun beyond the grave,
How many years is it necessary to earn four feet under?
When we know the price we put in a bomb;
Lenin, stand up,
they've gone mad!
 
Where are the paths of hope?
In which night in the depths of which fog?
Nothing has changed, the damned of the earth
They didn't find the way out of hell.
 
You, who had dreamed
The equality of men,
You must fall from above into your eternity,
In front of all these old men in superb uniforms,
And these homes for the people in their private quarters.
 
You, Vladimir Ilyich,
If you are the prophet,
Come and talk to us again in the heart of Moscow,
And spread the news across the planet:
'Friends of the human race, they have become mad'!

Here Richard Tauber (1891 Linz Austria-1948 London GB) sings the song composed by Schubert-Tauber-Clutsam for the film “Blossom Time” (1934). I heard this powerful song many years ago, could not find it again and fortunately today I could listen to it again when watching the Biographical movie about Franz Schubert (1797 – 1828) called “Blossom Time”.

Jean-Philippe Rameau, (baptized September 25, 1683, Dijon, France—died September 12, 1764, Paris), French composer of the late Baroque period, best known today for his harpsichord music, operas, and works in other theatrical genres but in his lifetime also famous as a music theorist.

One of his best liked songs and hopefully the translation is not too bad to convey his poetry and hopefully these terrible commercials are not too awful to bear but unfortunately these days one has to "qualify" and first "get over" these terrible commercials in order to be permitted to listen to some good music on youtube ...  :embarassed: ... that is always the trouble with getting something for free ... there is always a catch, isn't there ... ?




You, you, you

When it rains, the rainbows grow
When it snows, the stars grow
When the sun is down, butterflies grow
And always, always I like you!
You, you, you are
my only word
You you you
mean everything!
The laughing, the screaming
Leaving, staying
The hour, the minute, the moment
The house and the city, the wind and the leaf
The breathing, the dying
And the music
you, you, you are
my only word
You you you
mean everything
you, you, you are
my only word
You you you
mean everything
The grass and the snow, the earth and the sea
Searching, finding and losing
Running, turning, sleeping, seeing
Falling, flying, ABC
When it rains, the rainbows grow
When it snows, the stars grow
When the sun is down, butterflies grow
And always
And always
And I always like you!

Camille & Julie are the Berthollet sisters, two extraordinarily gifted musical siblings from the idyllic Rhône-Alpes region in France. Camille (17) plays violin and cello and Julie (19) violin and viola. They became celebrities in France when the then 15-year-old Camille won Prodigies, a TV show for classical virtuosos under the age of 16. After captivating more than four million viewers on the France 2 network with her searing rendition of ‘Summer’ from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Camille was immediately signed to Warner Classics, her debut album (featuring her older sister as duo partner) going on to achieve Gold status with more than 80,000 copies sold in France alone. On their second album together, with the support of the Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, the sibling sensations reveal the poise, maturity and musical prowess they have continued to develop since Prodigies, confirming their talent goes far beyond the TV phenomenon that launched their bright careers.

One very favourite English landscape-painter is Sebastian Pether  (1793 - 1844), also called Moonlight-Pether, mainly because his work consists of wonderful moody moonlight-paintings and fascinating sunsets. Many of Sebastian Pether’s paintings were collected by Henry Huttleston Rogers 1st Lord Fairhaven (1896 - 1966) of Anglesey Abbey in the County of Cambridge and some of Sebastian Pether’s paintings shown here harmonize very well with the Moonlight Sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770 – 1827).
