Nocturne, 10 August, 20 Years Together - Piano Solo

I composed this song, after reading a marvelous poem "The City" by a Greek poet Konstantinos Kavafis.
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantine_P._Cavafy )

Our life is in our hands, depends on us.

p.s. HELP. I'M SEARCHING FOR OTHER LANGUAGES TRANSLATION.
-

The City

[1.08] You said, "I will go to another land, I will go to another sea.
Another city will be found, better than this.
Every effort of mine is condemned by fate;
and my heart is -- like a corpse -- buried.
[1.45] How long in this wasteland will my mind remain.
Wherever I turn my eyes, wherever I may look
I see the black ruins of my life here,
where I spent so many years, and ruined and wasted."

[2.21] New lands you will not find, you will not find other seas.
The city will follow you. You will roam the same
streets. And you will age in the same neighborhoods;
in these same houses you will grow gray.
[4.53] Always you will arrive in this city. To another land -- do not hope --
there is no ship for you, there is no road.
As you have ruined your life here
in this little corner, you have destroyed it in the whole world.
-

La Città

Dicesti: "ad altra città andrò, ad altro mare.
altra città dev'esserci migliore di questa
dove ogni mio tentativo è destinato al fallimento,
e il mio cuore, quesi fossi morto, sepolto.

Fino a quando la mia mente in questo marasma giacerà?
ovunque volgo l'occhio, ovunque guardo
perduti ruderi della mia vita qui scorgo
ove tanti anni ho trascorso e guastato e sciupato."

Nuovi paesi non troverai, né altri mari, né altri mari.
la città, ti seguirà
per le stesse vie circolerai;
nei soliti quartieri andrai invecchiando;
sempre tra queste case ti farai bianco.

A questa città ognora giungerai
per quegli altri paesi, lascia ogni speranza
a te nave non c'è, non c'è nessuna strada.
Così come la tua vita rovinasti qui
in questo piccolo angolo,
su tutta la terra
-

La Ciudad

Dijiste: "Iré a otra ciudad, iré a otro mar.
Otra ciudad ha de hallarse mejor que ésta.
Todo esfuerzo mío es una condena escrita;
y está mi corazón - como un cadáver - sepultado.
Mi espíritu hasta cuándo permanecerá en este marasmo.
Donde mis ojos vuelva, donde quiera que mire
oscuras ruinas de mi vida veo aquí,
donde tantos años pasé y destruí y perdí".

Nuevas tierras no hallarás, no hallarás otros mares.
La ciudad te seguirá. Vagarás
por las mismas calles. Y en los mismos barrios te harás viejo
y en estas mismas casas encanecerás.
Siempre llegarás a esta ciudad. Para otro lugar -no esperes-
no hay barco para ti, no hay camino.
Así como tu vida la arruinaste aquí
en este rincón pequeño, en toda tierra la destruiste. 

-

Η Πόλις

Είπες "Θα πάγω σ`άλλη γη, θα πάγω σ`άλλη θάλασσα.
Μια πόλις άλλη θα βρεθεί καλλίτερη από αυτή.
Κάθε προσπάθειά μου μια καταδίκη είναι γραφτή
κ`είν`η καρδιά μου σαν νεκρός θαμμένη.
Ο νους μου ως πότε μες στον μαρασμόν αυτόν θα μένει.
Όπου το μάτι μου γυρίσω, όπου κι αν δω
ερείπια μαύρα της ζωής μου βλέπω εδώ,
που τόσα χρόνια πέρασα και ρήμαξα και χάλασα."

Καινούριους τόπους δε θα βρεις, δεν θάβρεις άλλες θάλασσες.
Η πόλις θα σε ακολουθεί.Στους δρόμους θα γυρνάς
τους ίδιους.Και στες γειτονιές τες ίδιες θα γερνάς
και μες στα ίδια σπίτια αυτά θ`ασπρίζεις.
Πάντα στην πόλι αυτή θα φτάνεις.Για τα αλλού μην ελπίζεις
δεν έχει πλοίο για σε, δεν έχει οδό.
Έτσι που τη ζωή σου ρήμαξες εδώ
στην κώχη τούτη την μικρή, σ`όλην την γη την χάλασες.

-

die Stadt

Du sagst: "Ich gehe in ein anderes Land, an ein anderes Meer.
Eine andere Stadt muß es geben, besser als diese.
Jede meiner Anstregungen ist vom Schicksal verdammt,
Und mein Herz - wie ein Toter- begraben.

Wie lange wird mein Geist in dieser Ödnis bleiben?
Wohin ich meine Augen wende, wohin ich sehe,
Ich sehe die düsteren Ruinen meines Lebens hier,
Wo ich so viele Jahre verbrachte, verschwendete, verdarb."

Neue Länder wirst Du nicht finden, auch keine neuen Meere,
Die Stadt wird Dir folgen, die immergleichen Straßen wirst Du gehen.
In denselben Vierteln wirst Du alt werden
Und in den gleichen Häusern werden Deine Haare ergrauen.

Du wirst wieder in dieser Stadt ankommen,
Nach neuen Ländern, laß alle Hoffnung fahren!
Es gibt kein Schiff für Dich, keine Straße.
So wie Du hier Dein Leben zerstört hast,
In diesem kleinen Winkel,
So hast Du es auf der ganzen Welt.

-

je zei: "Ik ga naar een ander land, ik ga naar een andere zee.
Een andere stad zal gevonden worden, beter dan deze.
Al mijn  werk wordt veroordeeld door het lot;
en mijn hart is - als een lijk - begraven.
Hoe lang in deze woestenij zullen mijn gedachten blijven.
Overal waarnaar ik mijn ogen richt, waar ik kan kijken,
Zie ik de zwarte ruïnes van mijn leven hier,
waar ik zo vele jaren heb doorgebracht, geruïneerd en verspild."

Nieuwe landen zal je niet vinden, je zal geen andere zeeën vinden.
De stad zal je volgen. Je zal zwerven in dezelfde
straten. En je zal ouder worden in dezelfde buurten;
in dezelfde huizen zal je grijs worden.
Altijd kom je aan in deze stad. Naar een ander land - niet hopen -
is er geen schip voor je, er is geen weg.
Zoals je je leven hebt verpest, hier
in dit hoekje, heb je het vernietigd in de hele wereld.

Composer and Lyrics : MANOS HATZIDAKIS

Μες σ’ αυτή τη βάρκα είμαι μοναχή
κι έχω συντροφιά μου κάτασπρο πουλί
Σημάδι ρίχνω στο γιαλό, μα πώς να σου το πω
Είσαι ένα αστέρι μακρινό, τη νύχτα σε φιλώ

Θέλω να φυτέψω πεύκο λυγερό
για να μεγαλώσει και να το χαρώ
Σημάδι ρίχνω...

Μπλέκω τα μαλλιά μου μ’ άστρα και βροχή
και στα όνειρά μου κάνω προσευχή
Σημάδι ρίχνω...
-
In this boat I am all alone
and I have for company a lily-white bird.
I cast a sing inside the sea, but how can I tell you?
You are a distant star, at night-time I kiss you

I want to plant a pliant pine tree
so that it grows and I rejoice at it
I cast a sign...

I tie my hair up in stars and rain
and in my dreams I say a prayer
I cast a sign...

Μες Σ' Αυτή Την Βάρκα (In This Boat) - Piano Solo

It was seemingly a late Autumn season this year and the leaves held on to their branches a little longer than average this turn of the wheel. I watched as the final remaining members of the deciduous resistance proudly held their ground and clung to their branches, while the wind tried to seduce them to give up their futile attempt at immortality and surrender to the inevitable.  In bold defiance they refused and proudly flew their colorful flags of deep crimson, rust orange, and a shade of yellow so ineffably deep it does not even bare a name. They danced gallantly and gracefully with the wind as they moved in asymmetrical rhythms and flowing tempos - the mathematics of which seemingly beyond human intelligence, boarding on the divine. The eb and flow of the motion together with the beams of sunlight that would burst through the branches and cast a glimmering shimmer onto everything was truly an epically cinematic sight to behold! If I were a cinematographer this is what I would film.  As I am only a composer, I did the best I could with the tools available to my disposal...  I hope you may enjoy it...

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"Autumn Rains" is the second installment in a trio of neoclassical solo piano albums composed, performed, and produced by Andrew Souter. These projects have been two decades in the making and represent a return to traditional music composition, engaging song-writing, and the pure passion of emotional story-telling. This trio represents Andrew's most personal and intimate music. It is quite literally a love project. We hope it may help you on your journey, as it has us...

"Autumn Rains" is music inspired by the spirit of Agape. It is an album dedicated to the concept of spiritual love and universal compassion clothed in the metaphor of transcendental natural beauty. It is an album that simultaneously expresses deep love for both the creator as well as the creation. It is said God gave us music so that we could pray without words. It could be added that nature was provided as an example of exactly how to do this effectively. In this spirit, Autumn Rains is a prayer of gratitude for the opportunity to learn from the natural beauty of this world, and an expression of a sense of respect for the inescapable universal equality that nature imposes. It humbly attempts to capture deep feelings of awe, granduer, idealism, and a belief in the innate goodness of the world even when we all face exceptionally hard lessons.

incl. Essenz von Cupe -White- Cüpe D´Etat Remix.
Hab das Stück gehört und schon an nen Remix gebastelt, als ich den Remix von Cupe hörte und wußte das fehlt noch! Danke, das ich diesen Remix auch verwenden durfte.

Das Leben ist eine Reise,
mal still, mal leise.
Jedes auf seine Weise,
mal laut und schnell.
Wichtig ist im Leben, weitergehen!
Schritt für Schritt!
Schön ist es wenn es Begleiter gibt.
Seien es Menschen oder auch Dinge.
Manche Dinge sind wundervoll wie die Musik von Dirk!
Er ist ein echter Künstler und transportiert soviel in seiner Musik!
Einfach wundervoll!

Danke für die Möglichkeit Hand an eines deiner Stücke legen zu können,Dirk.

Leider bin ich nicht so begabt wie er: 
Ich spiele mich nur gerne und Musik ist ein Hobby.
Ich hoffe trotzdem, den einen oder anderen gefällt was ich mit meinen bescheidenen Mitteln daraus gemacht habe!

Freue mich über jeden Kommentar, jedes Like und jeden Repost.
Vielleicht hört der eine oder andere auch in meine anderen Sachen mal rein.

Danke!

Congratulations to pianist Carlos Márquez from Phoenix / USA (https://soundcloud.com/cmdigital) for the 1st performance of "La grande Petitesse" !!

Only 3 weeks after initiating the challenge (see here: https://soundcloud.com/stephan-beneking/petitesse-150-usd-pianist-new) Carlos sent me on 21st of Jan his spectacular  recording of this very difficult piece - bravo!

Please read the score / sheetmusic while listening, so you can appreciate these 12 minutes of pianistical artistry!

More information about the "Pianist Challenge" and the Booklet with the scores of "Petitesse" you find here: http://www.beneking.com/petitesse

It would be great if other pianists (I know of some who are working on it already...) take on this challenge as well, and hopefully we will be able to listen to more recordings and different interpretations of "La grande Petitesse" from other pianists soon :-)

"Petitesse" Challenge

"La grande Petitesse" - Pianist Challenge - 1st performance by Carlos Márquez

Forgive me but this is something of an indulgence.  

This is a piece that is inspired by older musics in it's entirety.  Nothing surprising.  Every note of it is from a real instrument - which makes it inherently imperfect but perhaps more charming for it.  

In this case the instrument is my arpeggione - Guitarviol 

You can read about it here:

http://brunkard.com/bowing-to-bowed-instruments-guitarviol/

The photo is one I took in a massive forest in Thuringia, Germany over easter.  The title references an Irish philosopher and the world's first and only pantheistic atheist John Toland.  

I've also created a Giorgio Moroder inspired ringtone for iPhone users.  I've no idea why but I'm using it on my phone and it's working!

I saw this picture and I remembered my grandparents.
Stories and images described by the beginning of 900. 
They escaped in boats from Smyrna (Asia Minor), where until a few days before, Greeks and Turks live together peacefully.
Impossible to forget the 1,750,000 refugees, escaped from Ireland in the middle of the nineteenth century, for the great famine.

economic interests, colonialism, wars, deaths, refugees, hunger, racism.

Years go by and the story repeats itself.
Those who are well now, think to be immune to these events, but there is no country in history that has not had such dramatic events.

told an old sick to a young boy: where I am now, you will be and where are you now, I have just been.
think about it.
