Něma-li ústa tvá, Bůh to ví, vylíbám odpověď s nich! If mute are your lips, I swear to God, They will answer to my kiss! One more Rusalka illustration. This one isn't for the calendar but I thought it would be a pity not to make a drawing for this part of the libretto 💖

Tchaikovsky:
- the first movement orchestral tutti is SO BEAUTIFUL every time I listen to it I cannot help but smile. it waters my crops and cleans my pores. I don't know how one moment in a piece is able to hold such emotional power over a person but that's Tchaikovsky for you ig. - also the trill where it resolves at the end of the cadenza. and then the flute comes in with the main melody. it's so comforting - almost hopeful?? - the melodic lines and countermelodies are so nice there's really nice bassoon and cello lines in the first movement I'm thinking of and there's also a moment in the third movement where the melody gets passed between the clarinet and oboe - the entire concerto is like a warm hug :)
I've left the submission form tab open for three days and I still can't find words to describe how beautiful Tchaik VC is. THE TUTTI IN MVT 1 MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME

OTD in Music History: Composer Antonin Dvorak (1841 - 1904) leads the London Philharmonic in the world premiere of his immortal Cello Concerto, with English cellist Leo Stern (1862 - 1904) playing the soloist’s part. It is immediately hailed as a masterpiece, and to this day, it is widely hailed as the finest cello concerto ever written. Upon hearing it for the first time, Dvorak's good friend Johannes Brahms (1833 – 1897) allegedly remarked: “Why on Earth didn’t I know that one could write a cello concerto like this? If I had only known, I would have written one myself long ago…” The first Bohemian composer to truly achieve worldwide recognition, Dvorak is notable for the strong "nationalist" bent of his music. Bedrich Smetana (1824 - 1884) -- Dvorak’s senior by 17 years -- had already laid the foundations of the Czech nationalist movement in music, and is recognized as “The Father of Czech Music” within the Czech Republic, but after Smetana’s tragic early death from syphilis, it fell to Dvorak to develop and extend this legacy in an impressive series of works that have achieved lasting popularity comparable with any music to come out of Germany, France, Italy, or Russia. The secret to Dvorak's success lies first and foremost in his incredible gift for melody, and secondarily in the instantly recognizable and delightfully fresh Czech folk character displayed in much of his best music. Dvorak composed in all major musical genres, and his oeuvre contains works that can justifiably be hailed as true masterpieces in every single major form – a very unusual accomplishment, even among the rarified ranks of “the great composers.” PICTURED: A beautiful “Imperial”-sized cabinet photograph of Dvorak, which Dvorak signed and inscribed to Hungarian music critic Andor Merkler in Budapest in 1899. This photo was signed on the occasion of the first performance of Dvorak’s Cello Concerto to take place with Dvorak conducting *and* Hanus Wihan serving as the soloist. (Wihan was the cellist who had requested that Dvorak write the concerto, as well as the dedicatee of the work – but for logistical reasons, Stern had ended up giving the world premiere several years earlier.)

More Dvorak!
this is the main theme from movement 4 written out for lead guitar. this is the same starting point as my previous post, although that analysis covered only the part marked A.
Tumblr media
A is the main theme,
B is the theme, but the root moves to A. (a safe modulation, which usually doesn't force the harmony to change)
C is a variation, which starts the same, but ends abruptly, and is played an octave up. (it functions as a outro/transition)
D is a note I added to make the excerpt resolve.
the theme is centered around the tonic, E (except when its A), and moves up to the third, and then down to the fifth.
this can be viewed as implying a i-v progression, or outlining an i chord, with diatonic passing tones. I think both perspectives are correct.
Note; that the unaccompanied melody Implies a modulation in section B, which gives it a kind of meta chord progression (or key progression). That progression is;
e | e | a | e
i | i | iv | i
which is very similar to harmony chord progression the occurs underneath each section, except that the harmony finished its progression in 8 bars (repeating 4 times), and the melody takes 26 bars (and doesn't repeat).
this kind of self-similar structure is common to many types of music, and works very well.

Kiss me, just kiss me, give me peace, Never shall I turn to the world, Kiss me if need be till I'm dead!
I kept feeling a bit unhappy with the last illustration for the 2024 calendar. More so because it's the most epic (and my favorite) part of the opera. So, here is a new version, hopefully, no one will be disappointed by that :')

Halloween Countdown Day 4:
Beware the old ponds and brooks, for they are the haunt of the Rusalka!
One of my Halloween costumes this year is the Rusalka, the ghostly "mermaid" of Slavic folklore. Rusalka (plural Rusalki) are feminine water spirits bound to water and appear in myths and superstitions all over Eastern Europe and and Russia. In the Pre Christian past, Rusaliki were benevolent water deities who emerged from rivers and ponds in spring to bring rain to the natural world as well as humans' crops. 
However, in later centuries Rusalki became associated with ghosts of young women who took their own lives by drowning, usually after suffering abuse and betrayal by men. Therefore, the image of the Rusalka in modern folklore is a vengeful ghostly maiden who lures men to their doom by seducing them and drowning them in ponds or rivers in rural environments. They are also known to tickle their victims to death or force them to dance until they die of exhaustion. 
In art, Rusalki appear as beautiful young women dressed in pale coloured long dresses with flower crowns languishing by bodies of water or folk dancing in meadows on summer nights. Rusalki are also said to have legs rather than fish tails, but that they lack feet or cannot stand up on land and must lean on a willow tree. This is where I drew my inspiration for this costume. 
The most famous story about this folklore character is Antonin Dvorak's opera Rusalka, a retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's story The Lilttle Mermaid. This opera contains the romantic "Song to the Moon". In this story, the Rusalka is a sympathetic character who naively pursues a selfish and promiscuous man. Don't worry, he gets what he deserves in the end!
My interpretation of the Rusalka is a guardian spirit of the ponds and brooks who will wreak vengeance on anyone who dares pollute or disrespect her habitat.

Bands
I know one necessarily asked and no one probably cares, but i wanted to list my favorite bands (not in order). Most are metal (folk metal/viking metal, most especially), but some are just general alternative rock, i guess.
Anyways, here they are:
Skáldmöld (iceland)
Fejd (sweden)
Månegarm (sweden)
Blind Guardian (germany)
9mm Parabellum Bullet (japan)
Merry (japan)
Honorable mentions: SuidAkrA (germany), Nightmare (japan), & Meijibray (japan). (i have only ever listened to exactly one song from each of them, but all three are very good songs)
Also. Another honorable mention is The Hu (mongolia). Not one of my favourites, but i think they are cool enough to mention.
When I don't listen to Metal/Alt Rock (since i am definitely not always in the mood), here are others i like:
Tchaikovsky (romantic/"classical")
Antonio Vivaldi (baroque/"classical")
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (classical/baroque/"classical")
Antonín Dvořák (romantic/"classical")
Joshua Messic (folk?/hammered dulcimer*)
Dancing Hammers (folk?/hammered dulcimer)
Victoria Van Arnam (folk?/hammered dulcimer)
*a hammered dulcimer is a string instrument sort of like a sideways harp or a guzheng, and is played by "hammering" it with little mallets.
**also. i cannot stand beethoven. i know he is popular but i can't stand it. there is a reason he was not on the list
***i do not know the moral standing of any of these bands, or if they've done anything problematic or anything. It's been a long time since i've been able to enjoy music, and i don't want to ruin what i have right now, because o don't know how long it will last
