Aloha, Tanja ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Oct 1998 01:29:17 -0700 From: "Adrian du Plessis" Subject: Re: Lasciatemi Morire Dizzy asked about the beautiful piece of music that is Jewel's performance of Lasciatemi Morire. There was some interesting discussion on the list about this almost exactly one year ago. (A search of the Digest Archives'll turn up these posts for those historians among us :) The Future Folklore #3 tapes contain a recording of this song recorded by Mr BB when Jewel appeared at Java Joe's last Thanksgiving. That was the weekend of the Pajama Jam, the launch of the EDA Foundation and other historic events (among them, I met some friends that weekend I'll never forget.) Anyway, following is something I dug out from my earlier posts on "Lasciatemi Morire" for those who weren't around and are wondering, like Dizzy, about this piece: "Previously Jewel has introduced her audience to artists as diverse as Pablo Neruda and Steve Poltz - now it sounds like Claudio Monteverdi will gain some deserved recognition through her voice. 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!" ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Oct 1998 23:27:01 +1000 (EST) From: Jordina Howell Subject: Jewel list Archives. Hi Listers, I am a very new member to the list. My name is Jordie and I have one of Jewel's cds. I find Jewel a very pleasant singer to listen to, someone who hasn't let fame or money get to her as other singers have done. My favourite song by Jewel is "foolish Games". I should mention that I am from Australia - any other Aussies on the list? I am wondering how I can retrieve archives from earlier months? Thanks, Jordie, and Guide dog Iljin! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Oct 1998 10:26:26 -0500 (EST) From: Jennifer Anderson Subject: NJC: bumper stickers ok, i'm volunteering to get the bumber sticker project underway, if enough people are interested in doing it. i think right now (with Christmas coming up), bumper stickers might be a better idea than t-shirts because they will be less expensive and ANYONE would be able to buy one (even if you don't have a car). so, please email me personally (jenniea@purdue.edu) if you are interested in buying a bumper sticker. if i get enough positive responses, i will post to the list that it is going to happen and i will ask for design suggestions (all of you artists out there...get ready!!). when you email me, please put "bumper stickers" in the subject line. thanks! jennie the about to get in way over her head with this project angel ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ``` To me, you're everything But mine -Megan Mann, "Out of Reach" ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ``` ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Oct 1998 16:23:05 -0400 From: Mike Connell Subject: re: Jewel list archives Jordie asked: >I am wondering how I can retrieve archives from earlier months?

It'll be interesting to see how high it goes....I think it'll certainly hit Top10, but I've got no idea if it can do Top 5. Casey's Top 40 can be seen online at http://charter.simplenet.com/kclatest.htm Conversely, "Hands" has yet to his the other major national radio show countdown Top 40, Rick Dee's Top 40. (It'll be there next week, I'm sure :-) Ricks' Top 40 can be found at http://www.rick.com As for Billboards "Hot 100" singles....the online version only shows the top 50 positions, and "Hands" hasn't hit that chart yet. The Billboard Hot 100 can be found at http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot100.html To follow the progress of "Hands" on these and other charts, and "Spirit" once it's released, go to Adam Longfellows' amazing and award winning "Pieces Of Jewel" site and head to the "News" page.

This is from the latest issue (October 24, 1998) of Billboard (the US music trade newspaper). - ----------------------------- JEWEL Hands (3:47) PRODUCER: Patrick Leonard WRITERS: Jewel, P. Leonard PUBLISHERS: WB/Wiggly Tooth, ASCAP Atlantic 8703 (CD Promo) The question here is not whether Jewel's sophomore endeavor is worthy of her previous efforts, but rather how many weeks it will take the folk popster to reach No. 1. Cast aside any preconceptions; it's time to embrace one hell of a new single. Since she's been away, Jewel's vocals have become less affected and less girlish; they're at once creamier and more robust. Protective of her all-important folk roots, this piano-driven number coaxes the world to hold onto faith: "In the end, only kindness matters." The indispensable production chops of Patrick Leonard, a longtime right hand for Madonna, add a smart, edgy backdrop that is finely suited to this midtempo swayer. This will be saturating the airwaves at top 40, hot AC, AC, and adult top 40, and "Hands" could reignite the artist's presence on modern rock, too. >From the stunning "Spirit," due Nov. 17. - ------------------------------ Also in this issue, Hands is at number 22 on the Adult Top 40 airplay chart and at number 30 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart. Unfortunately there's no sign of Hands in the UK airplay charts.

Recently my computer crashed and I lost all the messages that I have been saving from a long time ago. I collected the important messages (especially the ones that Jewel sent herself through MrBB or Hiranya). If anyone has been saving those messages as well, I would really apreciate if someone could forward them to me, i would really apreciate it. thanks Wojtek Kowalewski ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 24 Oct 1998 17:27:21 GMT From: MADwand@earthling.net (MADwand) Subject: Re: Lasciatemi Morirre On Fri, 23 Oct 1998 03:38:21 -0700, Dizzy13 wrote: ::Okay, I just listened to this song for the first time... it gave me chills. ::I love it!

I had this idea for making EDA shirts. A few months ago at some craft store [I think I was crafts canada] I saw a package to make your own T-Shirt. It came with one plain white shirt, an special ink cartridge, and some special paper. What you had to do was use a ink jet printer to print the picture that you want on to the special paper. Then you'd iron the t-shirt with the picture you printed and it worked out pretty well. So, if everyone who wanted a t-shirt could pick up this package [or something similar] it would work out pretty well. We could all collaborate and design a picture together and get EDA's with a homepage to put it up there so everyone could access it and download it/print it out etc. I belive the t-shirt making package was about $12.00 canadian. Which is actually a really good price I think. It will probably be even less for USA EDA's. Of course I realize it could be a bad situation for EDA's without inkjet printers or that are unable to find this thing. But it was just an idea.
