Sons em Trânsito arranca com festa da música cigana
..."O festival Sons em Trânsito (SET) arranca esta noite, no Teatro Aveirense, para quatro dias de espectáculos, recheados diferentes sonoridades que vão desde a música cigana, passando pela italiana ou até mesmo cabo-verdiana. Mas há mais. O palco das músicas do mundo tem ainda espaço para os ritmos canadianos, portugueses e ingleses. Começando pelo início, que é como quem diz, pelo primeiro dia. Hoje, às 21.30 horas, sobem ao palco 23 músicos ciganos. A Fanfare Ciocarlia regressa a Portugal, e a Aveiro, para apresentar o seu novo álbum, "Queens and Kings". Para quem acompanha o SET desde o início, pode ter a sensação de um regresso ao passado, ao primeiro festival. Este grupo romeno foi o grande responsável pela existência do festival e marcou presença na primeira edição. Poderá ser um regresso ao passado, mas um passado bom e, desta vez, um pouco diferente.
A Fanfare Ciocarlia não se irá apresentar sozinha em palco. Para este espectáculo foram convidados cantores e bailarinos ciganos que prometem, mais uma vez, um concerto único, marcado pelo som dos metais, mas também pela euforia da música cigana."....

Alfredo Casella
Alfredo Casella Turin, July 25, 1883 - Rome, March 5, 1947 was an Italian composer.
Casella came from a musical family; his grandfather, a friend of Paganini's, was first cello in the San Carlo Theater in Lisbon and eventually was soloist in the Royal Chapel in Torino. Alfredo's father and two uncles, Carlo, Cesare, and Gioacchino were all professional cellists of some note; his mother was a pianist, and gave Alfredo his first lessons. He entered the Conservatoire de Paris in 1896 to study piano under Louis Diémer and composition under Gabriel Fauré, where Enesco and Ravel were classmates. During his Parisian period, Debussy, DeFalla, and Stravinsky were acquaintances, and he was in contact with Busoni, Mahler, and Richard Strauss as well. Casella developed an admiration for Debussy after hearing the Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune in 1898, but pursued a more romantic vein stemming from Richard Strauss and Mahler in his own writing of this period, rather than turning to impressionism. His first symphony of 1905 is from this time, and it is with this work that Casella made his debut as a conductor when he led the symphony's premiere in Monte Carlo in 1908.
Back in Italy during the World War I he began teaching piano at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome. Casella was one of the best-known Italian piano virtuosos of his generation, and together with Arturo Bonucci (cello) and Alberto Poltronieri (violin), he formed the Trio Italiano in 1930, which played to great acclaim in Europe and the U.S. His stature as a pianist and his work with the Trio gave rise to some of his best known works, including A Notte Alta, the Sonatina, Nove Pezzi, and the Six Studies, Op. 70, for piano. For the Trio to play on tour, he wrote the Sonata a Tre and the Triple Concerto. Casella had his biggest success with the ballet La Giara, set to a scenario of Pirandello's; other notable works include Italia, the Concerto Romano, Partita and Scarlattiana for Piano and Orchestra, the Violin and Cello Concerti, Paganiniana, and the Concerto for Piano, Strings, Timpani and Percussion. Amongst his chamber works, both Cello Sonatas are played with some frequency, as is the very beautiful late Harp Sonata, and the music for Flute and Piano. Casella also made live-recording player piano music rolls for the Aeolian Duo-Art system all of which survive today and can be heard.
In 1923, together with Gabriele D'Annunzio and Gian Francesco Malipiero from Venice, he founded an association to promote the spread of modern Italian music, the "Corporation of the New Music".
The resurrection of Vivaldi's works in the 20th century is mostly thanks to the efforts of Alfredo Casella, who in 1939, organised the now historic Vivaldi Week, in which the poet Ezra Pound was also involved. Since then, Vivaldi's compositions have enjoyed almost universal success, and the advent of historically informed performance has catapulted him to stardom once again. In 1947, the Venetian businessman Antonio Fanna founded the Istituto Italiano Antonio Vivaldi, with the composer Gian Francesco Malipiero as its artistic director, with the purpose of promoting Vivaldi's music and putting out new editions of his works. Casella's work on behalf of his Italian Baroque forebearers put him at the center of the early 20th Century NeoClassical revival in music, and influenced his own compositions profoundly.
The generazione dell'ottanta ("generation of '80", including Alfano, Casella, Malipiero, Ildebrando Pizzetti, and Respighi - all composers born around 1880, the post-Puccini generation - usually concentrated on writing instrumental works, rather than the operas in which Puccini and his musical forebears had specialised. Members of this generation were the dominant figures in Italian music after Puccini's death in 1924; they had their counterparts in Italian literature and painting. Casella, who was especially passionate about painting, accumulated an important collection of art and sculptures. Casella was perhaps the most "international" in outlook and stylistic influences of the generazione dell'ottanta, owing at least in part to his early musical training in Paris and the circle in which he lived and worked while there.

Pavilhão Multiusos de Guimarães
Guimarães é uma cidade portuguesa situada no Distrito de Braga, região Norte e subregião do Ave (uma das subregiões mais industrializadas do país), com uma população de 52 182 habitantes, repartidos por uma malha urbana de 23,5 km², em 20 freguesias e com uma densidade populacional de 2 223,9 hab\km².É sede de um município com 242,85 km² de área e 162 572 habitantes (2006), subdividido em 69 freguesias, sendo que a maioria da população reside na cidade e na sua zona periférica. O município é limitado a norte pelo município de Póvoa de Lanhoso, a leste por Fafe, a sul por Felgueiras, Vizela e Santo Tirso, a oeste por Vila Nova de Famalicão e a noroeste por Braga.
É uma cidade histórica, com um papel crucial na formação de Portugal, e que conta já com mais de um milénio desde a sua formação, altura em que era designada como Vimaranes
Guimarães é uma das mais importantes cidades históricas do país, sendo o seu centro histórico considerado Património Cultural da Humanidade, tornando-a definitivamente um dos maiores centros turísticos da região. As suas ruas e monumentos respiram história e encantam quem a visita.
A Guimarães actual soube conciliar, da melhor forma, a história e consequente manutenção do património com o dinamismo e empreendedorismo que caracterizam as cidades modernas.
Guimarães é muitas vezes designada como "Cidade Berço", devido ao facto aí ter sido estabelecido o centro administrativo do Condado Portucalense por D. Henrique e por seu filho D. Afonso Henriques poder ter nascido nesta cidade e fundamentalmente pela importância histórica que a Batalha de São Mamede, travada na periferia da cidade em 24 de Junho de 1128, teve para a formação da nacionalidade. Contudo, as necessidades da Reconquista e de protecção de territórios a sul, levou esse mesmo centro para Coimbra em 1129.
Os "Vimaranenses" são orgulhosamente tratados por "Conquistadores", fruto dessa herança histórica de conquista iniciada precisamente em Guimarães

Nicolò Paganini (1782-1840)
Nicolò Paganini (1782-1840)
Nicolo Paganini was born in Genoa, Italy, Oct 27, 1782. He was one of six children born to Teresa and Antonio Paganini. He was an Italian violinist and a composer, considered by many as the greatest of all time.
He received music lessons from his father before he was 6 years old and later from the best instructors in Genoa. He began to perform in public and composed his first sonata in 1790. In 1795 he went to Parma, Italy to study but the teachers there told him they could do nothing more for him. He then commenced on a course of self-training so rigorous that he often played 15 hours a day. In 1797 he started his concert tours, which for many years consisted of triumph after triumph. From 1805 to 1808 he was the court solo violinist at Lucca, appointed by Napoleon’s sister Elisa Bacciocchi. In 1809 Nicolo became a free-lance soloist performing his own music. He performed concerts throughout Italy.
In early 1828 Nicolo began a six and half year tour that started in Vienna and ended in Paris in September 1834. During the two and half year period from August 1828 to February, 1831 he visited some 40 cities in Germany, Bohemia, and Poland. Performances in Vienna, Paris, and London were hailed widely, and his tour in 1832 through England and Scotland made him wealthy.
His playing of tender passages was so beautiful that his audiences often burst into tears, and yet, he could perform with such force and velocity that at Vienna one listener became half crazed and declared that for some days that he had seen the Devil helping the violinist.
Once his fame was established, Paganini’s life was a mixture of triumphs and personal excesses. He earned large sums of money but he indulged recklessly in gambling and other forms of dissipation. On one occasion he was forced to pawn his violin. Having requested the loan of a violin from a wealthy French merchant so that he could fulfill an engagement, he was given a Guarnerius violin by the merchant and later refused to take it back when the concert was over. It was Paganini’s treasure and was bequeathed to the people of Genoa by the violinist and is still carefully preserved in that city
Paganini’s genius as a player overshadows his work as a composer. He wrote much of his music for his own performances, music so difficult that it was commonly thought that he entered into a pack with the Devil. His compositions included 24 caprices (published in 1820) for unaccompanied violin that are among the most difficult works ever written for the instrument. He also challenged musicians with such compositions as his 12 sonatas for violin and guitar; 6 violin concerti; and 6 quartets for violin, viola, cello, and guitar.
According to Philip Sandblom in his book Creativity and Disease few geniuses have experienced such lucky agonies as Paganini, bedeviled by a host of chronic complaints, including Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, marked by excessive flexibility of the joints. “This enabled Paganini to perform the astonishing double-stoppings and roulades for which he was famous”, Sandblom writes. “His wrist was so loose that he could move and twist it in all directions. Although his hand was not disproportional he could thus double its reach and play in the first three positions without shifting.”
It is well known that Paganini rarely practiced after his 30th birthday. Those who were closely associated with him used to marvel at his brilliant technique and watched him closely to discover how he retained it.
In performance Paganini enjoyed playing tricks, like tuning one of his strings a semitone high, or playing the majority of a piece on one string after breaking the other three. He astounded audiences with techniques that included harmonics, double stops, pizzicato with the left as well as the right hand, and near impossible fingerings and bowings. Antonia Bianchi, a singer who toured with Nicolo in 1825, bore him a son, Cyrus Alexander on July 23, 1825. Although they were never married, he did lavish affection on his son for the rest of his life.

Niccolò Paganini (Gênova, 27 de outubro de 1782 – Nice, 27 de maio de 1840) foi um compositor italiano que revolucionou a arte de tocar violino. Em 1833 recusou Haroldo na Itália, peça para viola e orquestra encomendada por Hector Berlioz, alegando que seu solo era fácil demais.
Quando criança era constantemente obrigado pelo próprio pai a estudar violino muitas horas por dia, sob ameaça de castigos severos. Em seus primeiros concertos públicos foi considerado uma criança prodígio. Após de libertar-se da custodia do pai-déspota, começou a carreira como virtuoso do violino, em toda a Itália. Ficou famoso também pelo seu estilo da vida rebelde, freqüentemente gastando todo seu o dinheiro em jogos e diversões noturnas. Durante os anos 1800-1805 desapareceu completamente da vida pública.

Diz a lenda que passou estes anos na prisão.Embora, no início de sua vida profissional desse os seus concertos apenas na Itália, sua fama como violinista-virtuoso logo espalhou-se por toda Europa.
Só em 1828 saiu da Itália para uma viagem de concertos no estrangeiro. Tocou na Áustria, Alemanha e França entre outros países, sempre com grande sucesso.
Os últimos anos da sua vida foram passados em Nice. Apesar de muito rico, ficou doente de tuberculose e não podia falar.
O estilo de vida de Niccolò Paganini e a sua aparência mefistofélica deram origem a historias de que o seu virtuosismo era devido a um pacto com o demônio.

Song of the Day: The Black Canary
Artist: The Black Canary
Track: "The Redifussion"Album: The Black Canary (2006) Listen here
About the music:
It has been said of Nick Drake that you could turn the volume up all the way and it would never be loud. The same can be said for the more relaxed song from the Canary's two-track debut. Its liquid organs, raspy vocals and delicate percussion never reach above a whisper, breezing past rather than assaulting listeners. To borrow from Sly Stone: "Pretty, pretty, pretty as a picture." Why to know it.
Because this band says more in two tracks than most do in 12.

Arttu Takalo Neverstopdreaming disco do vibrafonista finlandês Arttu Takalo, que ousa desafiar as convenções musicais há 15 anos. Este seu segundo disco a solo mostra toda a melancolia e virtuosismo da sua música, tão contemporânea quanto ousada, com influências de jazz, rock, clássicas e de tudo o mais o que vem à mão e que pode enriquecer a sua música.
