Song of the day?

[Albwin]

And here now the song I wanted to post today. I still continue with traditional music, now with the Japanese song "Sōran bushi", a work song of the fishermen of Hokkaido sung when catching herring and musically performed by Ensemle Sakura.

Today I feel like posting dancing music again. The chosen piece is a "Volte", an (originally) French dance from the Early Baroque, i.e. form the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. Originally found on a CD focused on the dances of Michael Praetorius, this very Volte chosen here was composed by an anonymus. The dance is musically performed by Collegium Terpsichore.

(Lyrics)
When my dad died
The worms ate out both his eyes
His soul flew right up in the sky
I cried myself to sleep
My mother lies
Alone on her back at night
Adding up hours till her demise
She counts herself to sleep
When my sister finds
My body closed up like the blinds
I tell her I promise, it's fine
But she cries herself to sleep
The men in black ties
Arrive at the house in surprise
To find a little girl by your side
In the wood box where you're sleeping
I still see you
Inside of this god-awful house
You move awfully quiet now
And I still feel you everywhere
You told me
This has always been worth livin'
But what's really worth
Living anymore?

Today I continue with French dancing music. "La Quinte Estampie Real" is, literally translated, the fifth royal Estampie, the Estampie being a dance popular in Medieval France. This very dance comes from "Le Manuscrit de Roi", a Medieval French manuscript filled with Estampies and other dances whose contents date from ca. 1270 to 1320 AD. The fifth Estampie is musically performed by the ensemble Hespèrion XXI.

Today I have chosen the song "Sound the Trumpet" from "Come, ye sons of Art: Ode for the Birthday of Queen Mary" composed by Henry Purcell to a text from Nahum Tate in 1694 and sung by countertenors Andreas Schöll and Christophe Dumaux. I shall not say more about the music, for the YouTube video has the lyrics included. The Queen Mary originally celebrated is Queen Mary II of England.

"Out of Mana"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbvXx_oEyWY

Spoiler

First write down all of your fears
Then sweep the feathers you've preened
Next you should dominate
All the quests everyone said were too hard
Unless you go back to sleep

Don't run out of mana
Or we'll back down
I want you to know
If you feel ready to go
I can read the rest to myself
Hell is digital
You've smashed to smithereens

We've filled out all of the forms
Translated all of our dreams
Free love and perfected every inch
Weeknights down at the gym
Took every thing that we pleased

Don't crack up
Don't lose touch
I want you to know
If you feel ready to go
I can read the rest to myself
Hell is digital
You'll pray to pieces

I'll break and create life
Oh praise player one
Infinite lives, the time will come up

Did we build Babel together
Jibber jabber, changing colors
Aliens talking to airplanes
Every time the place is the same
Hope we can do this forever

Don't black out
Or we'll back down
I want you to know
If you feel ready to go
I can read the rest to myself
Hell is digital
I'm burnt to little bits
I'm psycho
Can you know this?

I have to go
I want to say I'm in love with you
And I'm more than the skin of my teeth
I digress
I am a mess, I'm in love with you
I will go without water or sleep
I'm a ghost
I can't say I know that I'm even here
Or is this some eternal test
Hold me close
I'll never know if it's more or less
No reset

My song of the day is "Ich bin a Bal-agole" or "I am a coachman" as it would be translated. This song from the New Jewish School was composed by Solomon Rosowsky based on a traditional Yiddish folk song. Its tragicomic Yiddish lyrics tell of a Jewish coachman whose work is seemingly without end and who seems to have no luck with his job, be it that he transports thieves at night who urge him to drive even faster for they will surely be chased and daybeak is close, be it that he transports women who just won't stop cackling and chattering because of which he cusses at them to get possessed by an evil spirit. The text is sung by mezzosoprano Helene Schneiderman accompanied by Jascha Nemtsov on the piano.

My choice of the day is the Spanish song "Niña, si encontrares a Cupido" composed by an anonymus in around 1700. The title can be translated as "Girl, if you encounter Cupido". This love song tells a girl what to do if she encounters Cupido, the god of love, while asleep and how to coverse with him in dreams. The piece is sung by Maria Luz Alvarez and musically accompanied by Accentus Austria.

Today I chose a traditional folk song from North Korea, though the traditional North Korean music also practiced in South Korea nowadays. This song called "Yawolseon-yuga" which can be trandlated as "Boatride by Moonlight" tells about, well, what its title implies. It is sung by Yu Ji-suk.
