Love songs

March 29, 2009 8:40 PM | Related Categories: Music

Last week's music was a simple but effective love song by Robert Burns. There was quite a lot in the comments about it and I don't have much more to say - other than go and listen to it if you didn't already!

The last few musical offerings have been English vocal works, so I thought I'd redress the balance by posting some examples from other European parts.

The first one of these is also about love, but with a bit of a twist. It's by a well known German collaboration although it steals a famous phrase from the French.

Music for Sunday 29th March

Next week I think I'll be going fully French

Nanna's Lied - Brecht! (Maybe I should'nt give the answer immediately?) :-)

To please you, I have made some b&w on my blog!

Peter - no problem. And correct of course. I'm think I might give up the guessing game with these posts. My original idea was that I would think of some music that also had something interesting or unusual associated with it, give people a week to listen to it and then say something the next week. Doesn't seem to be working too well though!

I'm sure you know, but maybe someone else can give us the French connection.

I believe that I should let someone really French take care of the "French connection", like Nathalie, Cergie ... or somone else.

I think your idea of bringing in music is really nice, guessing game or not! I have also a feeling that you have had some really interesting dialogues the last weeks. You should just continue to encourage the comments part!

An interesting inversion of the idea of a "love song".

Où sont les neiges d'antan? Where indeed? Or, as was once said as the punch-line on a famous panel show: "Wear Arthur's nose of fiesta year."
