Tomas Tranströmers förtätade, genomlysta bilder ger oss inte enbart en ny tillgång till det verkliga. I programmet visar vi att Tranströmers lyrik även klingar av musik. Han spelade själv piano. I det femte och sista programmet i serien Musiken har ordet står poeten och pianisten Tomas Tranströmer i fokus. Vi hör honom läsa egna dikter och dessutom själv spela pianostycken för vänster hand.   Vi möter poeten Eva Ström, tonsättaren och dirigenten Bo Holten, pianisten och tonsättaren Daniel Stagno och tonsättaren och musikern Catharina Backman.   2011 fick poeten Tomas Tranströmer Nobelpriset i litteratur med motiveringen: för att han i förtätade, genomlysta bilder ger oss ny tillgång till det verkliga. I programmet visar vi att Tranströmers lyrik även klingar av musik.   Poeten och författaren Eva Ström fick diktsamlingen Den halvfärdiga himlen redan som tonåring.   -Tranströmers dikter var musik från första stund! Där finns gåtfullhet och mystik. Där finns även hot, ångest och skräck, men han beskriver också räddningen, och det är ofta musiken som ger tröst, säger Eva Ström, och ger exempel från dikterna Namnet och Carillon.   Danske tonsättaren och dirigenten Bo Holten komponerade musikstycket Resan mot C av två av Tranströmers dikter Resan och C-dur, som står efter varandra i diktsamlingen Den halvfärdiga himlen.   -Jag använder två kompletta körer som kastar ljus över temat från två olika håll. När kör ett lider känner kör två glädje och vice versa. Stycket går från mörker mot ljus, mot låga register till helt ljusa register i musiken, förklarar Bo Holten.   I stycket lade Bo Holten in klingande fragment av en sång många svenskar känner till, Den blomstertid nu kommer, för att skapa en varm och trygg känsla.   -Det finns människor som tror att smärta och lidande är djupare känslor än glädje. Det är fel, anser Bo Holten.   Pianisten och tonsättaren Daniel Stagno har länge intresserat sig för vänsterhandskompositioner och har skrivit ett sådant stycke inspirerat av Tranströmers dikt Kyrie. Stagno skrev också 17 sånger för piano och bayton baserade på dikter av nobelpristagaren.   -Hans poesi ger enorm inspiration, och det är svårt att låta bli att komponera till dem, säger Daniel Stagno.   Tonsättaren och musikern Catharina Backman valde en dikt av Tranströmer som har plats för musik, nämligen Minusgrader med den inledande frasen Vi är på en fest som inte älskar oss.   -Det är en kort prosatext som var rolig att tonsätta! En känsla av kyla och ensamhet grep dock tag i mig när jag läste orden - om festen som en växlingsbangård där Kalla kolosser står på skenor i dimman. Då lät jag en man i kören uttrycka en gråtares klagosång, en kontemplativ sorgefras, som påminner om östeuropeisk folkmusik, säger Catharina Backman.   -Vid uruppförandet i Storkyrkan i Stockholm blev den minutlånga inledningen av musikstycket bortcensurerad, berättar Catharina Backman. Där gestaltas en fest med partymusik och sorl där körmedlemmarna citerar fraser ur dikten. Det var tydligen alltför magstarkt för kyrkan!         Tomas Tranströmer, The Official Website: http://tomastranstromer.net   Tomas Tranströmer, Albert Bonniers Förlag: http://www.albertbonniersforlag.se/Forfattare/Forfattarpresentation/?personId=5920   Tomas Tranströmer, Svenska Akademin: http://www.svenskaakademien.se/nobelpriset_i_litteratur/pristagarna/tomas_transtromer     Eva Ström, blogg:http://evastrom.blogg.se   Eva Ström, Albert Bonniers förlag: http://www.albertbonniersforlag.se/Forfattare/Forfattarpresentation/?personId=6086     Bo Holten, Bach Cantatas:http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Bio/Holten-Bo.htm     Daniel Stagnos hemsida:http://www.stagno.net   Daniel Stagno, Wikipedia:http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Stagno     Catharina Backman, STIM: http://www.mic.stim.se/avd/mic/prod/micv6.nsf/docsbycodename/soekresultat?opendocument&fraga=Catharina%20BACKMAN   Catharina Backman, Wikipedia: http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catharina_Backman Låtlista: Sonata in F major Hob.

In the second half of my conversation with Italian bass Maurizio Muraro, we discuss the text to Don Bartolo's aria "A un dottor della mia sorte" from Il barbiere di Siviglia. This time we concentrate on the rule of "raddoppiamento sintattico" (called phrasal doubling in English), the combination GLI [ʎ], S before a voiced consonant (which becomes a voiced [z]) and when to roll or not roll Rs! You can find a libretto for Il barbiere di Siviglia at the Opernführer. Scroll down to Aria No.8 (remember to make sure it's on L for libretto and I for Italian!). The fabulous website resources that I mentioned in this episode are: Technology for the Classical Singer, a must-have resource for all of us, with blog postings on everything from foreign language dictionaries to the free treatises on singing at IMSLP to where to find accompaniment tracks. She also has amazing video tutorials to teach us all how to get the most out of our technology! SingersBabel, a diction website with video clips that allow you to see the text and IPA transcription while you listen! Focusing on French, German and English repertoire right now, it has a large selection of pieces to choose from, including Bach Cantatas and choral repertoire! And don't forget to have a good chuckle over Bugs Bunny's classic Rabbit of Seville :-) As always, please feel free to contact me with questions, comments or suggestions here, at the Facebook page, on Twitter or directly at ellen@ellenrissinger.com
