After that comes the translation into English.
The preface and epilogue are finished
Yes, this time there is a short preface and an epilogue.

How do I actually manage to do this??
I keep changing one word in my ballad and I'm never satisfied
Sometimes the "I" is at the beginning, sometimes in the middle or I leave it out altogether
Every time I read over it I don't like it again
I keep getting stuck on it
How can I finish the ballad if I'm going in circles?
I added a new paragraph yesterday that is important for the story, now I want to read through everything and I get stuck on this "I" again 😡

One of my most surprising discoveries recently is Melody Gardot, an American Jazz singer with a quiet, yet precise expressiveness I have not often heard in contemporary singers. Her performance of "Love Me Like a River Does", sung live in Paris with an unnerving intensity, has the power to make you lose track of time.

🎧 In the Fall of 2021, #LilNasX covered "Jolene" on #BBCOne. It's a brilliant genderfuck and #DollyParton loved it! She heard he'd recorded the song, found this performance online and tweeted the clip...
"...it's really good. Of course I love him anyway. I was surprised and I'm honored and flattered. I hope he does good for both of us. Thank you @LilNasX"
He learned that news live on a podcast: "Wait. I'm emotional. I get emotional." 💖
🎧 #WillieNelson dropped a single from his upcoming studio album "Bluegrass" today. Check the cover art—blue grass! 😂 (September 15, 2023).
Willie assembled some friends and went into the studio to record again 12 of his classics.

🎧 #GeorgeMichael is nominated to the Rock and Rock Hall thingy this year. "Father Figure" (1988) is a most-viewed song @ YT.
Note: This song came out 10 years before Michael did.

I just heard #TeentyOnePilots ( #21P ) version of #ElvisPresley’s (I Can’t Help) Falling In Love With You
It took me back a couple decades, to a time when I held my #newborn niece
I was enamored. I was overcome with love and a need to protect her against everything, but I didn’t know any lullabies
I don’t know where it came from, but I softly crooned the #RockAndRoll #king’s #ballad, and watched as that little angel gently #slept in my arms
I think I watched her the whole time 🥰

Thee Lakesiders - “Parachute” (2018)
Thee Lakesiders were a duo out of East Los Angeles. In 2018 they spent 2 days in NY’s Diamond Mine Studio with The Shacks as their backing band.
Those sessions gave us their tune “Parachute”, a dreamy ballad that floats over guitar chanks, brush hits, vibraphone rolls, and Marie’s beautiful and lush vocals.
They’ve since disbanded, but not before they put an undeniably classic 45 out that holds court next to the classics that inspired their sound.
🎧 Love me some #Adele.
In 2008, Adele released "19" when she was about that age and was recognized with the #BritAward "Rising Star" and #GrammyAwards "Best New Artist."
On Christmas Day, she performed "Hometown Glory" on #TOTP—first song she ever wrote a few years before.
Bertolt Brecht - Über Schillers Gedicht „Die Bürgschaft“
O edle Zeit, o menschliches Gebaren!
Der eine ist dem andern etwas schuld.
Der ist tyrannisch, doch er zeigt Geduld
Und lässt den Schuldner auf die Hochzeit fahren.
Der Bürge bleibt. Der Schuldner ist heraus.
Es weist sich, dass natürlich die Natur
Ihm manche Ausflucht bietet, jedoch stur
Kehrt er zurück und löst den Bürgen aus.
Solch ein Gebaren macht Verträge heilig.
In solchen Zeiten kann man auch noch bürgen.
Und, hat’s der Schuldner mit dem Zahlen eilig
Braucht man ihn ja nicht allzustark zu würgen.
Und schließlich zeigte es sich ja auch dann:
Am End war der Tyrann gar kein Tyrann!

Die Bürgschaft (1798) - Friedrich von Schiller
Zu Dionys, dem Tyrannen, schlich
Damon, den Dolch im Gewande:
Ihn schlugen die Häscher in Bande,
"Was wolltest du mit dem Dolche? sprich!"
Entgegnet ihm finster der Wüterich.
"Die Stadt vom Tyrannen befreien!"
"Das sollst du am Kreuze bereuen."
"Ich bin", spricht jener, "zu sterben bereit
Und bitte nicht um mein Leben:
Doch willst du Gnade mir geben,
Ich flehe dich um drei Tage Zeit,
Bis ich die Schwester dem Gatten gefreit;
Ich lasse den Freund dir als Bürgen,
Ihn magst du, entrinn' ich, erwürgen."
Da lächelt der König mit arger List
Und spricht nach kurzem Bedenken:
"Drei Tage will ich dir schenken;
Doch wisse, wenn sie verstrichen, die Frist,
Eh' du zurück mir gegeben bist,
So muss er statt deiner erblassen,
Doch dir ist die Strafe erlassen."
Und er kommt zum Freunde: "Der König gebeut,
dass ich am Kreuz mit dem Leben
Bezahle das frevelnde Streben.
Doch will er mir gönnen drei Tage Zeit,
Bis ich die Schwester dem Gatten gefreit;
So bleib du dem König zum Pfande,
Bis ich komme zu lösen die Bande."
Und schweigend umarmt ihn der treue Freund
Und liefert sich aus dem Tyrannen;
Der andere ziehet von dannen.
Und ehe das dritte Morgenrot scheint,
Hat er schnell mit dem Gatten die Schwester vereint,
Eilt heim mit sorgender Seele,
Damit er die Frist nicht verfehle.
Da gießt unendlicher Regen herab,
Von den Bergen stürzen die Quellen,
Und die Bäche, die Ströme schwellen.
Und er kommt ans Ufer mit wanderndem Stab,
Da reißet die Brücke der Strudel herab,
Und donnernd sprengen die Wogen
Des Gewölbes krachenden Bogen.
Und trostlos irrt er an Ufers Rand:
Wie weit er auch spähet und blicket
Und die Stimme, die rufende, schicket.
Da stößet kein Nachen vom sichern Strand,
Der ihn setze an das gewünschte Land,
Kein Schiffer lenket die Fähre,
Und der wilde Strom wird zum Meere.
Da sinkt er ans Ufer und weint und fleht,
Die Hände zum Zeus erhoben:
"O hemme des Stromes Toben!
Es eilen die Stunden, im Mittag steht
Die Sonne, und wenn sie niedergeht
Und ich kann die Stadt nicht erreichen,
So muss der Freund mir erbleichen."
Doch wachsend erneut sich des Stromes Wut,
Und Welle auf Welle zerrinnet,
Und Stunde an Stunde ertrinnet.
Da treibt ihn die Angst, da fasst er sich Mut
Und wirft sich hinein in die brausende Flut
Und teilt mit gewaltigen Armen
Den Strom, und ein Gott hat Erbarmen.
Und gewinnt das Ufer und eilet fort
Und danket dem rettenden Gotte;
Da stürzet die raubende Rotte
Hervor aus des Waldes nächtlichem Ort,
Den Pfad ihm sperrend, und schnaubert Mord
Und hemmet des Wanderers Eile
Mit drohend geschwungener Keule.
"Was wollt ihr?" ruft er vor Schrecken bleich,
"Ich habe nichts als mein Leben,
Das muss ich dem Könige geben!"
Und entreißt die Keule dem nächsten gleich:
"Um des Freundes willen erbarmet euch!"
Und drei mit gewaltigen Streichen
Erlegt er, die andern entweichen.
Und die Sonne versendet glühenden Brand,
Und von der unendlichen Mühe
Ermattet sinken die Kniee.
"O hast du mich gnädig aus Räubershand,
Aus dem Strom mich gerettet ans heilige Land,
Und soll hier verschmachtend verderben,
Und der Freund mir, der liebende, sterben!"
Und horch! da sprudelt es silberhell,
Ganz nahe, wie rieselndes Rauschen,
Und stille hält er, zu lauschen;
Und sieh, aus dem Felsen, geschwätzig, schnell,
Springt murmelnd hervor ein lebendiger Quell,
Und freudig bückt er sich nieder
Und erfrischet die brennenden Glieder.
Und die Sonne blickt durch der Zweige Grün
Und malt auf den glänzenden Matten
Der Bäume gigantische Schatten;
Und zwei Wanderer sieht er die Straße ziehn,
Will eilenden Laufes vorüber fliehn,
Da hört er die Worte sie sagen:
"Jetzt wird er ans Kreuz geschlagen."
Und die Angst beflügelt den eilenden Fuß,
Ihn jagen der Sorge Qualen;
Da schimmern in Abendrots Strahlen
Von ferne die Zinnen von Syrakus,
Und entgegen kommt ihm Philostratus,
Des Hauses redlicher Hüter,
Der erkennet entsetzt den Gebieter:
"Zurück! du rettest den Freund nicht mehr,
So rette das eigene Leben!
Den Tod erleidet er eben.
Von Stunde zu Stunde gewartet' er
Mit hoffender Seele der Wiederkehr,
Ihm konnte den mutigen Glauben
Der Hohn des Tyrannen nicht rauben."
"Und ist es zu spät, und kann ich ihm nicht,
Ein Retter, willkommen erscheinen,
So soll mich der Tod ihm vereinen.
Des rühme der blut'ge Tyrann sich nicht,
dass der Freund dem Freunde gebrochen die Pflicht,
Er schlachte der Opfer zweie
Und glaube an Liebe und Treue!"
Und die Sonne geht unter, da steht er am Tor,
Und sieht das Kreuz schon erhöhet,
Das die Menge gaffend umstehet;
An dem Seile schon zieht man den Freund empor,
Da zertrennt er gewaltig den dichter Chor:
"Mich, Henker", ruft er, "erwürget!
Da bin ich, für den er gebürget!"
Und Erstaunen ergreifet das Volk umher,
In den Armen liegen sich beide
Und weinen vor Schmerzen und Freude.
Da sieht man kein Augen tränenleer,
Und zum Könige bringt man die Wundermär';
Der fühlt ein menschliches Rühren,
Lässt schnell vor den Thron sie führen,
Und blicket sie lange verwundert an.
Drauf spricht er: "Es ist euch gelungen,
Ihr habt das Herz mir bezwungen;
Und die Treue, sie ist doch kein leerer Wahn -
So nehmet auch mich zum Genossen an:
Ich sei, gewährt mir die Bitte,
In eurem Bunde der dritte!"

#Lenten Stuff - a #16thCentury #ballad by William Elderton.
From MS Ashmole 48.
A good description of #Lent in Tudor England, with complaints (among other things) about an excess of #fish, #leeks and #nettles. It also mentions the traditional figure of #JackaLent, a stuffed effigy, usually made of straw, which was dragged through the streets during Lent, and burned on #PalmSunday.

Do [n't] change a hair for me: The art of jazz rubato
This article examines a number of different performances of jazz ballad melodies in order to investigate the nature of expressive timing used by jazz soloists. Three performances of My Funny Valentine and two performances of Naima, taken from commercial recordings by master soloists, are examined. Expressive timing is seen to be a kind of tempo rubato involving a flexibility of melodic rhythm over a steady underlying beat. A typical strategy used is to begin the melody "late" relative to the accompaniment, and speed up over the course of a phrase. This delay-accelerate strategy is modulated in a number of ways. First, the nominal rhythms of motives are modified so as to preserve their categorical identity; below the level of the motive there is more expressive freedom. Second, there is a strong tendency for melodies to align with the accompaniment at cadential locations, serving to clarify hierarchic phrase structure. Finally, notes belonging to the underlying harmonies tend to be displaced more than nonharmonic tones, a tendency which is more pronounced at downbeats. These rhythmic procedures are thus found to be related to musical structure in a variety of ways.

Carol Rumens considers the #Scots #ballad “The Twa Corbies”, first recorded in Walter Scott’s Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border (1812). The ballad may, of course, be much, much older. Rumens compares it to the English ballad “The Three Ravens”, and asks if the Scots ballad is an older version, which was then sentimentalised – or is it a later, satirical riposte?

An #introduction to me: I'm a cultural historian specialising in the pan-European tradition of singing the news. I just published a book on #execution #ballads, and am working on a bigger project exploring the singing of news on a range of topics and a range of languages. My first book was about scandal at the #French court. I'm currently Honorary Senior Lecturer at the Aus National University.

The smell of rain
drugging our senses with a #ballad
romanticising every road, building, tree;
the rain - a lost lover,
the heart weeps and aches for something
that never had been ours
nostalgic for a time, a place
a person, a song
that lingers on the edges
of what we know to be,
soaking us from outside in
washing away
all that isn't true within

Wow! This atmospheric ballad is just pure magic! Again a masterpiece that has been hidden in the vault for more than three decades. It sounds like a waltz to me (I'm not a waltz expert 😉) and hear that guitar solo at the end!
Solid emphasis on the emotional quotient of funsies.
