Georg Philipp Telemann – Sonata in E minor for Flute and Harpsichord

Performers

Alex Murray – traverso (flute by Goulding, late 1700s, pitch A=440)

Martha Goldstein – harpsichord


Instruments & Historical Context

The harpsichord, built in 1600 by Pisarensis of Pisa, belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Philip Padelford and is preserved at the University of Washington School of Music.

It was restored by Lutz Bungart and Glenn White, and lent for this recording by Terry Moore, Director of Music at the University of Washington at the time.

All tuning is mean-tone temperament, giving the performance a historically authentic color.

The basso continuo was realized by Martha Goldstein.


Overview

This sonata, typical of Telemann’s elegant chamber music style, highlights the lyrical dialogue between the traverso and harpsichord.
Rich in expressive melodies and subtle counterpoint, the work balances virtuosity with graceful ornamentation, exemplifying the refined aesthetic of early 18th-century German chamber music.

Georg Philipp Telemann – Sonata in E minor for Flute and Harpsichord

Majestic

[Verse]
My sister lives in LA, in the city of Angels
I'm down the coast, in San Diego
Our book club is small, but we love it the most
Just us two
our dogs at our feet
Bree and Sara
Coney and Gus
The best book club ever, is just us. 

[Chorus]
We’re reading through the pages of  The Silent Planet
By C.S Lewis, laughing at the twists
How did he think of this?
Asking each other "Can you imagine this?"
Whiskey for you
Hot Chai for me
Crunching ice and sipping hot tea
What a lovely scene

[Verse 2]

Even though I'm miles away
when you read a line
Your voice lights up my room
I sip my tea and grin
and say, wait, read that part again
Coney breathes softly
Gus dreams of happy, hunting trails
When it's my turn to read
Bree and Sara wag their stubby little tails


[Pre-chorus]
Oh, Ransom’s on a journey in Malacandria
And so are we
Sisters on a grand adventure into the galaxy

[Chorus]
We’re reading through the pages of The Silent Planet
By C.S Lewis, laughing at the twists
How did he think of this?
Asking each other "Can you imagine this?"
Whiskey for you
Hot Chai for me
Crunching ice and sipping hot tea
What a lovely scene

[Bridge]
How the story ends
we don't yet know
Every page a portal, Into the unknown 
It’s not about the ending
It’s not about the plot
It’s about spending time with my sister,
that I love so much

I hope the best book club ever...
lasts forever....

Best Book Club  Ever

Te olvidé

Yo pensaba que me amabas,
nunca vi que me engañabas.
Quizás porque te quería,
como hoy ya no podría.

Por un tiempo fui sin rumbo,
sin sosiego ni un segundo.
La herida ya no sangraba
pero el daño no amainaba.

Estribillo

Todo aquello terminó,
te marchaste y me olvidé.
Fue muy duro lo sé bien
pero el sol ya apareció.
-----------------

Hoy mi vida sigue andando,
ya no vivo en el pasado.
Lo que duele se disuelve
y el amor ya no me muerde.

Estribillo

I forgot you

I thought you loved me,
I never saw that you were cheating on me.
Maybe because I loved you,
like I couldn't today.

For a while I was aimless,
without a second's rest.

The wound no longer bled,
but the damage didn't subside.

Chorus

All that ended,
you left, and I forgot.

It was very hard, I know,
but the sun has risen.
-----------------

Today my life goes on,
I no longer live in the past.
What hurts dissolves,
and love no longer bites me.

Chorus

Te olvidé AC

Lyrics:

This Is the Way Our Love Goes

This is the way our love goes
through all the days
through all the days
through all the nights
against all the odds

This is the way our love goes
facing all this pain
crying in the rain
waiting for you, my love

Since this war has begun, my love
my heart is beating for you
and all my love, and all my life
are one and the same, just for you, my love

This is the way our love goes
now it’s not the time
now it’s only time for war

This is the way our love goes
through all this strife
through the end of this war

Since this war has begun, my love
my heart is beating for you, my love
and all my life is now one with your life
my only love

This is the way our love goes
through all the days
through all the nights
against all the odds

This is the way our love goes
facing all this pain
crying in the rain
desperately waiting for you

Until the end of this doom

This Is the Way Our Love Goes

Lyrics Wildsilences

Tu ne m'aideras pas, je ne veux être nulle part, mais voici ton rêve. Toi et moi, perdus dans les rêves, perdus dans les rêves, perdus dans les rêves. Je ne veux pas être ailleurs, tomber dans le noir, tomber dans les arbres, perdu dans mes rêves. Tu étais là, tombant dans le noir, dans des rêves d'avant.

You won't help me, I don't want to be anywhere, but here is your dream.
You and me, lost in dreams, lost in dreams, lost in dreams.
I don't want to be anywhere else, falling to the dark, falling to trees, where lost in dreams.
Here was you, falling to the dark, into dreams before.

GHOSTS OF BATACLAN. 🎧 .  feat Wildsilences

A bright, determined anthem for anyone willing to fight, no matter their strength or skill.

The upbeat guitars and driving rhythm capture a fierce spark rising in the smallest moments, a flicker like fireflies that refuses to burn out. It’s a reminder that even the faintest glow can stand its ground against the darkness.

ONCE UPON A TIME  ✨✨. 🎧 .

Ivo, a che livello sei, dopo l'italiano?

I started as a DJ when I was 38 years old. That was in 2019.                                   I bought a mixer and two  players with my social security money.
It's possible that I'll get old with it.
Funk and Rock'n'roll mean something to me, so in electronic music, with soft and destructive sounds, I look for hard and clear beats, then the bass is missing. It should drive and sound funky.
