Tristezza

Description

For this song, I return to my classical roots, in a song consisting solely of vocals.

The creation of “Tristezza,” in a way, was an unplanned journey. An abandoned instrumental composition left behind a few lines of verse, in Italian, that I put to a melody ad-lib, after an unfruitful recording session. It sat for weeks and then another spur-of-the-moment recording session realized the harmonies, again sung unrehearsed.

Subsequent ‘fixes’ of the vocal parts followed—mostly errors in translation that were so kindly corrected by Sil-VER.
Thank you, Sil-VER!
Any errors in pronunciation are mine.

Thank you to those of you who 'previewed' this piece and encouraged me to post it when I was hesitant. You know who you are. Your friendship and support are so greatly appreciated.

Lyrics

Tristezza

Concedi amore al mio cuore ferito.
Gioia alla mia anima stanca,
E alla mia mente, pace

Dammi gioia,
Dammi amore
Dammi consolazione
Dammi pace.

* * * * *

Sadness

Grant love to my wounded heart,
Joy to my weary soul,
And to my mind, peace.

Give me joy.
Give me love.
Give me consolation.
Give me peace.

Echoes of Taverner
This has a wonderful, spiritual quality, uplifting and
redemptive even in its deep sadness. Perfect ending. I am
amazed by the conception, performance and production.

Although Taverner is from England, and writes Orthodox
choral music, I think you would enjoy listening to his work
(if you haven't already). Try "The Lamb."

Excellent, Mystified. A flawless vocal performance.

adequately describe the moving nature of this piece. I'm
very greatful I was allowed to hear the developments....it

breath control is flawless. Mysty, you've done it again.

	Glorious Reflections Synco...thank you! The suggestion that you could imagine an instrumental set to the original, chant-like melody was what got me thinking of ways that I might add layers to it. To make it a fully-realized piece. After listening to it so many times, I'm grateful it still moves you. Thank you, again :) Check out my latest song called For the Beauty of the Earth

	Wonderful Absolutely gorgeous. Haunting. You sing this so wonderfully. A few places on the softer parts where your voice breaks just a little. But all the rest is excellent and captivating. Very nicely mixed too. Just the right tone and acoustics. It's like a longing prayer. Thanks for posting it for us to hear. Check out my latest song called From Nothing

Mystified said 1698 days ago (April 3rd, 2005)

Wonderful
Thank you, Peter, for your comments.
Recording in this classical style was another 'step' for me in getting back into
music again. After several years of little practice, I have some ground to make
up when it comes to returning to 'vocal form.' The breaks you heard are a
reflection of that. As the composition is one of sadness and longing, I
decided not to go back and fix any minor flaws, leaving them as part of the
emotional 'fabric' of the piece.
Hopefully they are not too distracting.

Thanks again, for your careful listening and your kind remarks :)

Wonderful
The couple of little breaks were not really so distracting. They were only
slight, just enough that I thought worth pointing out as an area where you
could improve a little. Just being picky to be constructive, as I know you
understand. Again, lovely. I played this for my mother while I was visiting
over the weekend. She really enjoyed the piece and was quite impressed too.

TobinMueller said 1701 days ago (March 31st, 2005)

Timeless and prayerful
Gorgeous. Italian aria meets middle eastern riffs with
Gregorian chant undertones. Timeless. Prayerful. The
vocal layers are like lives spun around you. You control
your vibrato and make the piece unique by using it so
sparingly, transcending the opera context. So sweet. The
melody is perhaps too tied to the same scale-like phrase
and doesn't ever soar free, which I'd like to hear at least
for a moment, which is one of the reasons it seems more
like chant (and this may have been your intent). But the
harmonies are so wonderful, so evocative, more than
countermelodies, a special kind of trio setting that is
really wonderful. Thank you for this.

Mystified said 1698 days ago (April 3rd, 2005)

Timeless and prayerful
Thank you, Tobin, for listening and for commenting on this piece.
The main voice was recorded impromptu, and as I sang, I was thinking more
of a chant--melodically very controlled, contained, and more of a prayer in
context.
The harmonies, on the other hand, I allowed to soar and reach--more free
than the inhibition of words, though occasionally you will hear a word at the
end of the vocal line (amore, gioia, pace). They are, in a sense, the soul of
the piece, and the longing. These remained originally as they were recorded,
with the exception of fixing a word or two.

Thank you, again, for your comments. You actually have seen more in this
piece than I did at first, and I appreciate your perspective on it.

to do an all-vocal piece for awhile now, though I was not sure what kind it
would be. Well, this one sort of snuck up on me.
I am grateful for your comments and glad you like it enough to have
downloaded it to listen again!

As for the picture. Yes. I drew it several years ago in pencil. It has been
modified in Photoshop with the 'Fresco' render effect to give it a look more
suited to the song. Thank you for noticing and asking!

Liturgical . . .
. . . in quality.

Transcendent. Needs to be sung in a big cathedral -- of
course, who needs to do that when you've got tastefully
done reverb?

You're a very good singer, with excellent ideas for
composition. A wonderful talent.

Also, thanks for your kind words about my "Bach Jazz"
piece.

I just love the soaring high notes on the highest vocal
track. This is just great.

Simply Lovely.
In your bio notes you proclaim your preference for a background role, rather
than center stage.

I'm happy that you chose to move out of the chorus here at MacJams.

Your voice and the piece are simply lovely.

Since you included one of my favorite quotations to end your bio, I'll return
the favor by reminding you of this one... although it's purely from memory:

"When a performer steps up upon a stage, she (or he) is judged more by the
spirit of her performance, than by the performance itself." — Emerson

In both cases, I would judge this to be an exceptional performance.

	This was the song... ... that finally firmly pulled me into music composition. It's been months since I first heard it, but it still sounds just as glorious as ever. I love all the music you do, but I really wish you'd do more like this! :) Check out my latest song called Dance at Merry's Tavern

This was the song...
Wow.
I'm truly stunned by your comment. Thank you for expressing that.
Even though I studied Music, it wasn't until I could record at the keyboard via the
use of computer programs that I discovered how much I loved to improvise and
compose, so I really appreciate your comments.
As for doing something else like Tristezza? I'd like to. We'll see.

Meanwhile, I'll keep an eye out for your compositions here at MJ's.
Thanks so much, again!

thoughts from the bull...
i'm hearing this for the second time tonight. the first was in the Miss
Chaos Remix. while hers is a brilliant remix, in every sense, this is the
remarkable core from whence it was borne. this is the true, honest
form of the sculpture for which another artist has painted upon.

hearing the raw form, it's easy to see how this was a finished project.
this version of the song is pure and unbound. Miss Chaos proved that.
this version is like a spring shower - clean, fresh, vibrant.

thank you for a wonderful piece of music. your talent never ceases to
amaze me.

peace!
