Der Leiermann (1827) / (1928) / Le Joueur De Vielle (1906) / Шарманщикъ=Sharmanshchik (1910) / The Hurdy-Gurdy Man (2009)



In 2009 Sting recorded a song called "The Hurdy Gurdy Man" (NOT TO BE CONFUSED with the Donovan-song)
The song Sting covered was originally called "Der Leiermann", a song by Franz Schubert, which started life as a poem by Wilhelm Müller.
This poem was contained in Müller's 1824 book Gedichte aus den hinterlassenen Papieren eines reisenden Waldhornisten (=Poems from the posthumous papers of a travelling horn-player), dedicated to the composer Carl Maria von Weber (godfather of Müller's son F. Max Müller), 'as a pledge of his friendship and admiration'. Weber had died in 1826.
"Der Leiermann" was poem #24 of the "Die Winterreise" part in Wilhelm Müller's book.
On the next link you can read the complete book:
"Der Leiermann" as part of "Die Winterreise" is on page 107/108



Müller, a poet, soldier, and Imperial Librarian at Dessau in Prussia (present-day east-central Germany), died in 1827 aged 33, and probably never heard the first musical setting of his poems by Schubert.

Schubert composed the "Die Winterreise" songcycle in two parts, each containing twelve songs, the first part in February 1827 and the second in October 1827. The two parts were also published separately, by Tobias Haslinger, the first on 14 January 1828, and the second (the proofs of which Schubert was still correcting days before his death on 19 November) on 30 December 1828 in a book titled: Winterreise. Von Wilhelm Müller. In Musik gesetzt für eine Singstimme mit Begleitung des Pianoforte von Franz Schubert. 89tes Werk (=Winter Journey. By Wilhelm Müller. Set to music for a singing voice accompanied by the pianoforte by Franz Schubert. 89th work)  (Verlagsnummern (=Publishers number) 5101 bis 5124) (D 911 op. 89)
On 4 March 1827, Schubert had invited a group of friends to his lodgings intending to sing the first group of songs, but he was out when they arrived, and the event was postponed until later in the year, when the full performance was given.
"Der Leiermann" was most likely introduced by Schubert´s friend, the baritone singer Johann Michael Vogl, who introduced Schubert and his songs into many musical households great and small in their tours through Austria during the mid-1820s.
Schubert's last task in life was the correction of the proofs for part 2 of Winterreise, and his thoughts while correcting those of the last song, "Der Leiermann", when his last illness was only too evident, can only be imagined. However, he had heard the whole cycle performed by Vogl (which received an enthusiastic reception).

Here is the autograph manuscript of Der Leiermann from February 1827

Oh Freedom (1860´s) / Sweet Freedom (1931)


"OH FREEDOM" is an African-American spiritual dating from the Civil War of the 1860´s. The author is unknown.
According to oral tradition "Oh Freedom" was used as a marching song by Blacks protesting the Atlanta race riots of 1906. With changes in lyrics, it was used in the 1930´s by organizers of the Southern Tenant Farmer´s Union.
By the time of the Civil Rights Movement, "Oh Freedom" was not generally found in the repertoire of the Black Church congregations. Movement activists familiar with the song culture of the 1930´s, brought the song to the sit-ins and Freedom Rides and into the mass meeting song repertoire.
Odetta made a recording in 1956 and it became an anthem of the Civil Rights movement of the 1960's. Odetta also sang it, when Martin Luther King gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech on August 28, 1963 in Washington, D.C., in front of nearly 250,000 civil rights supporters.


Part of the song was published on page 25 of William E Barton's "Old Plantation Hymns" (1899).
The title there is "Before I'd be a Slave".



It´s also on page 114 of Thomas P. Fenner's "Cabin and Plantation Songs As Sung by the Hampton Students" (1901)
 




The Nance Family seems to be the first artists who recorded this song in 1931, with a different title ("Sweet Freedom") and a slightly different musical setting.

E.R. Nance was a singing-school teacher, who was living in Booneville, North Carolina. He first approached Art Satherley about recording his family at the American Record Corporation in 1930.
Few of the records from their lengthy stay in New York City were ever released, and Nance was very interested in having more of his music available on record. Now familiar with the system and having established a modest track record, Nance approached Brunswick and Gennett.
Both companies decided to take a gamble and in quick succession the Nance Family had recordings out on Brunswick and on Gennett's subsidiaries, Champion and Superior.

Boléro (1928)


"Boléro" is a one-movement orchestral piece by the French composer Maurice Ravel (1875–1937). Originally composed as a ballet commissioned by Russian actress and dancer Ida Rubinstein, the piece, which premiered in 1928, is Ravel's most famous musical composition.
The composition was a sensational success when it was premiered at the Paris Opéra on 22 November 1928, with choreography by Bronislava Nijinska and designs and scenario by Alexandre Benois. The orchestra of the Opéra was conducted by Walther Straram.


The piece was first published by the Parisian firm Durand in 1929.

See next link for complete score:    Ravel_-_Bolero_Full_Score_Durand_1929_.pdf


The first recording session of the "Bolero" in 1930 by the Grand Orchestre Symphonique, directed by Piero Coppola, was attended by Ravel himself.

In 1934 George Raft and Carole Lombard starred in the film Bolero, which ended with them performing a dance to the music.




In 1977 "Allegro Non Troppo", a sophisticated parody of Walt Disney's Fantasia directed by Bruno Bozzetto, uses "Boléro" as the theme for a segment where an entire evolutionary sequence arises on an alien planet from the residue in the bottom of a Coke bottle discarded by a visiting human astronaut.

Watch it here:




In the 1979 movie "10", the character played by Bo Derek asks "Did you ever do it to Ravel's Bolero?", a reference to the idea that the work is a good accompaniment to lovemaking. A four-minute excerpt of Boléro is used during the subsequent sex scene.




(c) Tomita (1979)


A 7" and 12" single of "Bolero" was released in the UK by popular demand in the light of the success of the movie "10" starring Bo Derek and Dudley Moore. It actually hit the Top 75!


Listen here:




Frank Zappa admired the piece, saying it "has one of the best melodies ever written", and performed an arrangement of it on his 1988 world tour. A reggae version of Ravel's "Boléro" is featured on his live album "The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life".

Nintendo composer Koji_Kondo (credited as Konchan) had at first wanted to use "Boléro" as the title screen music for  The_Legend_of_Zelda_(video_game). Due to copyright issues, however, he had to scrap the idea and compose original music of his own. He wrote a new arrangement of the overworld theme within one day.

Watch it here:


The theme was later revisited in Ocarina_of_Time's music "Bolero of Fire", which also uses the same snare drum ostinato

Gökvalsen (1913) / Cuckoo Waltz (1918) / Coucou ! / Kuckuckswalzer / Koekoek-Wals



It is probably less well known that popular composer Emanuel Jonasson (1886-1956), called "Gok-Jonas", was also a military musician. His big hit number was "Gökvalsen", which has become a world success and one of the world's most played smaller pieces of music. According to a popular storytelling, he would have had the idea of ​​Gökvalsen as a musician at Gyllene Göken cinema in Stockholm in the 1910's. However, this story is contradicted by the fact that the cinema Gyllene Göken started in 1912 and that Gökvalsen was born in 1909 on Fristad Hed.
Another story is put forward by Ejnar Lyth. According to this, Gökvalsen would have been "pushed forward" on a one-piece accordion by the farmer's son Sigge Karlsson, who performed it at K 1's Christmas ball in 1912. Jonasson would have "taken over" the melody.



The first recorded version seems to be by Bröderna Sundquist (=Brothers Sundquist)
