You're probably wondering what this has to do with Michael Hutchence, but if you look Jay mentioned how when you're famous you need to keep up your image and stuff and sometimes it's hell. Well Barbra told Rosie yesterday that she gained stage fright after she became famous because of having to live up to this "Goddess" image that people portray to her... She said it's a pain in the neck and she gets afraid she'll mess up sometimes and disappoint her fans. I doubt Jewel will ever get like that :) She tells peopole to shut up for crying out loud hehehe "Hey if you wanna talk that's fine but can you do it outside? Thanks" hehehe stops right in the middle of the song too (fragile flame on the jewel rocks the paradise tape) Either way I know what he means and I hope i explained it to anyone that didn't get it? :) I love you guys oh btw I know what they mean personally too. In school we had a talent show and a Class awards at the end of October and I decided to sing along with my friend Sarah who played her guitar, right? And people had heard us before hand and were oohing and aahing about us and it was so pressuring to do my best and stuff that when I got onstage i was so chicken to sing... it's really hard... I felt like crap the whole time before cuz i felt like i was going to screw up and I didn't want to embarrass msyself. Needless to say I did pretty good and we got 4th place... ANd for the awards.. well they gave me best smile ;) ttyl - -linda the lovable angel "i don't wanna look like some kinda fool i don't wanna break my heart over you i'm building a wall and everyday it's getitng higher this time i won't end up another victim of love" - erasure ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 22 Nov 1997 13:56:57 -0800 From: deanorez@juno.com (Gerard D Perez) Subject: History Lesson Hey, Adrian Great post on Italian early baroque/late renaissance music. I've been studying music history for a little while and it was good to see the kind of information that will broaden list member's minds -- and maybe attract them to music other than pop or jazz. Another thing about Claudio Monteverdi was that his musical style was deeply rooted in his understanding of Plato's ideas concerning music. He literally interpreted Plato's statement that music is composed of text, the combination of sounds, and rhythm -- because Plato listed text first, it was of prime import; music was secondary and was subservient to the text. Also interesting is Monteverdi's influence of Plato's concept of Ethos -- the ability of music to move the affections and to affect the entire person. This might be another reason why Jewel was attracted to this piece or more specifically Monteverdi. She's always had a passion for ancient Greek philosophy which, evidently, can be directly associated with musical principles of the Gothic Period all the way to the late Baroque Period. Madrigals, essentially, are poems musically composed in the vernacular. Again, we all know Jewel is a very prolific poet so here is another relation to her influence on this era. I believe you're right with "Lascia te, mi morire," in that it might not be an operatic aria. The bulk of Monteverdi's arias came from Book VII Concerto (1619). Book VI, on the other hand, is more renowned for having some of the finest madrigals written in the early Baroque period.I'm anxious to hear how she interpreted the piece vocally. There are so many intricacies in Monteverdi's work. His use of chromaticism and dissonance are unchallenged within his generation of composers. Again, thanks for the great post. Hopefully, at least one person took interest in this. I certainly did.

I ruined a very beautiful thing and I can never get it back. I know that you will probably never speak to me again. That kills me. Whether or not we wouldn't have gotten back together, I don't know, but I always hoped that you would be in my life one way or another. I never lied about how I feel for you. I still love you with all of my heart and soul. I can't believe that I fucked up so badly. Somehow I can go on. I love you Rachel Denise Matin, and I always will. I never meant to hurt you.

Thanks Marco for the correct spelling of "Lasciatemi morire" - that's made it possible to find additional links to this trail. As one goes deeper into the history of music, more of the human story emerges. Monteverdi's wife, Claudia, died the same year he composed his first opera, "L'Orpheo". In 1608, the year after "L'Orpheo" was published, he composed a second opera, "L'Arianna". This is one of his "lost" works as the following excerpt explains: "The earliest opera to retain a place in modern repertoire is Monteverdi's L'Orfeo, a dramatic version of the story of the legendary Orpheus, the musician who sought to bring his beloved Eurydice back from the Underworld by the power of music. This was written for the court of the Duke of Mantua in 1607, with a libretto by Alessandro Striggio. A second opera of the period, L'Arianna, dealing with the fate of the Cretan princess Ariadne, deserted on the island of Naxos by the Athenian prince she had rescued, Theseus, is lost, although the famous Lament of Arianna survives both as a solo song and in the form of a madrigal. The words are by the Florentine nobleman Ottavio Rinuccini, who provided the text for the ballet Il Ballo dell'ingrate." Part I of the Lament of Arianna ("Lamento d'Arianna") is "Lasciatemi morire". Here's a description found on-line about how this work evolved from the original opera into the form by which it's now known: "Despite the great historical significance of opera, and the huge emotional impact still readily made by his Vespers of 1610, it is important to remember that Monteverdi's output is centered on the madrigal. It is here that he perfects his ideas, and here that he goes on to explore them to the fullest. A kaleidoscopic variety of emotions is nowhere more readily discernible. Indeed this consummation is brought out clearly at the beginning of the book, with Arianna's Lament, Monteverdi's most popular madrigal cycle and arranged directly from his opera Arianna. The Sixth Book goes on to be perhaps Monteverdi's most intimately emotional. A new invigoration of various novel texts was achieved by a combination of dramatic recitation and choral declamation." There's a nice Monteverdi web-site @ and you can hear a MIDI sound clip of "Lasciatemi morire" at the Santa Barbara High School Madrigal Singers web-site @ Bravo Jewel! ------------------------------ End of jewel-digest V2 #894 ***************************
