Chopin Documentary – The Women Behind The Music

I LOVE Chopin’s music SO MUCH!!! His music speaks full of emotions.

Asides from his life with opera singers, once I heard some people say Chopin’s music was not suitable for ballet because the flaw of the music could not make dancers do much dancing work. I strongly disagree with it.

Chopin and Ballet:

1. Les Sylphides

1. Polonaise in A major, Op. 40, No. 1
2. Nocturne in F major, Op. 15, No. 1
3. Mazurka in C sharp minor, Op. 50, No. 3
4. Waltz in C sharp minor, Op. 64, No.2
5. Tarantella in A flat major, Op. 43

(Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Sylphides)

2. La Dame aux Camélias

The whole ballet is with Chopin’s music although I haven’t got a chance to full scene ballet of La Dame aux Camélias. The video above is La Dame aux Camélias pas de deux with “Chopin’s Ballade No. 1, Op. 23 in G minor” which is the same music used in he great scene from The Pianist:

3. In the Night (choreographed by Jerome Robbins)

Sorry for the missing first PDD, but listen to the full scene ballet music with Chopin:

Nocturne Op.27 No.1 in C sharp minor

Nocturne Op.55 No.1 in F minor

Nocturne Op.55 No.2 in E Flat

Nocturne Op.9 No.2 in E flat major

4. Contemporary – Ludmila pagliero, Concour Opera National de Paris

Waltz Op. 64, No. 3

Although this an incomplete video, I do wish to see full scene of this ballet!!! So beautiful!!!

Anymore ballets with Chopin’s music? Is Chopin’s music not suited for ballet?

Soundtracks of the Tudors

This music brings me tears every time when I listen to it.

The death of Jane Seymour, the only wife of Henry VIII’s received a Queen’s funeral.

I’m an atheist, but chorals, cathedrals and churches make me feel peaceful. Chorals, you don’t have to understand what they’re singing, you just enjoy the melody.

 

The love between Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn.

Michael Bublé – Home

Someone commented on the video, it’s very beautiful:

“Home is the place your heart roams in complete freedom. Home can be your lover’s arms, your favorite book, your time with God, mornings soaking up the sunrise…….but never forget, life is best spent loving and serving the people around you.”
