Uma das mais preciosas obras de Bedrich Smetana (1824-1884) é o seu Quarteto de cordas no. 1, dito “Da minha vida”. É, portanto, uma autobiografia parcial – ele ainda faria muita coisa importante. Mas este ano representa um ponto importante da vida do compositor: foi quando ficou claro que sua surdez era grave e definitiva.Apresentado por Aroldo Glomb com Aarão Barreto na bancada.

She prevented war and death on an immense scale, in acts that could earn the Nobel Peace Prize today. But History enshrined Sisi, Empress of Austria, as a vain beauty queen. The smear campaign was personal, not political: it started with her own tyrannical mother-in-law. Can Sisi conquer her own self-doubt, and drag draconian Austria into the modern world? Our guest is Nancy Goldstone, author of The Rebel Empresses: Elisabeth of Austria and Eugenie of France, Power and Glamor in the Struggle for Europe. _________________ Music in the episode includes works by Johann Strauss, Joseph Suk, Giuseppe Verdi, Bedrich Smetana, Johannes Brahms, Franz Schubert, Franz Liszt, and Kevin MacLeod.

Nhà soạn nhạc người Ý Antonio Vivaldi không phải là kẻ si tình duy nhất trao trọn trái tin cho Nàng Xuân. Bản Symphonie số 1 của nhạc sĩ người Đức Robert Schumann cũng mang tên Xuân. Trong sự nghiệp ngắn ngủi, nhạc sĩ dương cầm Mendelssohn đã để lại cho hậu thế khúc Xuân Ca. Vũ điệu mùa Xuân của tác giả người Pháp Debussy là sự vui tươi trong một ngày mới. Nhịp điệu dồn dập, thôi thúc trong Lễ Đăng Quang Mùa Xuân của Stravinsky hừng hực nhựa sống. Ý xuân trong những khúc xuân caNhưng đâu cần phải mang tên Xuân mới là là hơi thở mùa xuân. Nhạc phẩm Die Moldau mang tên con sông Vltava chảy qua thành phố Praha, Tiệp Khắc đã trở một trong những biểu tượng lớn nhất của Mùa Xuân nhờ nhà soạn nhạc Bedrich Smetana (1824-1881).Vlatava là con sông dài nhất, hơn 430 km, của Tiệp Khắc và dưới thời kỳ còn bị vương quốc Áo đô hộ, con sông được biết đến nhiều hơn dưới tên gọi là dòng Die Moldau. Nhạc sĩ Smetana năm 1874, trên đỉnh cao danh vọng, đã mang hết bầu nhiệt huyết để soạn một tuyển tập nhạc gồm 6 bản, mà trong đó Die Moldau được biết đến nhiều hơn cả. Khúc nhạc này nổi tiếng nhờ giai điệu du dương, bay bổng nhẹ nhàng với một vài nốt nhạc dễ nghe, dễ nhớ. Dường như giai điệu ấy bắt nguồn từ một bài hát dân gian, đậm tình dân tộc của người dân sứ Tiệp. Nhưng không chỉ có thế. Trong tác phẩm này Smetana thả bước theo hai dòng suối nhỏ ở thượng nguồn sâu thẳm trong vùng Bohemia : hai mạch nước quấn vào nhau thành một con sông nấp mình trong rừng sâu, đem nước sống tưới mát đồng cỏ, làng quê, vươn ra đến thành phố trước khi hòa nhập vào với con sông lớn Elbe … Trong suốt hành trình đó, có tiếng suối reo, có đám cưới đồng quê, có ánh trăng vàng… Nước có lúc hiền hoà, khi thì cuồng nhiệt siết chảy như như thác đổ …Khát vọng tự doNhạc sĩ Bedrich Smetana sinh ra trong một gia đình đông con tại thị trấn Litomysl vùng Bohemia Tiệp Khắc. Là một người có tinh thần yêu nước cao, ông sớm sáng tác những khúc quân ca, hòa mình với cuộc nổi dậy năm 1848 bùng lên tại Praha. … Smetana cũng đã trải qua một thời gian dài ở Thụy Điển trước khi về điều hành trường nhạc và một nhà hát ở thủ đô Tiệp Khắc… Từ thập niên 1860 ông ấp ủ dự án sáng tác một tập nhạc với những bài ca yêu nước. Năm 1874 ông bắt đầu soạn tuyển tập lấy tên là Ma Vlast, Tổ Quốc Tôi. Trong nhạc phẩm Die Moldau Smetana mượn hình ảnh con sông hiền hòa để nói lên khát vọng tự do của cả một dân tộc. Cũng chính vì thế mà bản nhạc này luôn đồng hành với người dân Tiệp Khắc trong mỗi cuộc đấu tranh : Thập niên 1940, Die Moldau là biểu tượng kháng chiến của người dân Tiệp chống Đức Quốc Xã. Nhạc phẩm này hành với phong trào nổi dậy Mùa Xuân Praha năm 1968 chống lại bàn tay sắt của Liên Xô. Cũng ca khúc này trở thành biểu tượng của cuộc Cánh Mạng Nhung 1989 lật đổ chế độ Cộng Sản.Từ năm 1946 bản Die Moldau luôn là tác phẩm đầu tiên trỗi lên vào mỗi lễ hội âm nhạc Festival Mùa Xuân Praha, được tổ chức đúng ngày giỗ nhạc sĩ Bedrich Smetana 12 tháng 5 hàng năm. Tháng 5 ở Tiệp vẫn còn là mùa xuân…Vỗ cánh chim bayChim hót trên cành hay con chim rời tổ cũng là biểu tượng của mùa xuân. Phải chăng vì thế mà nhạc phẩm ít được biết đến The Lark Ascending của nhà soạn nhạc người Anh Raph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) được xem là một trong những khúc xuân ca độc đáo nhất. Đến với tác phẩm này, ta không khỏi nghĩ đến bài thơ của Huy Cận được sáng tác năm 1964 : « Con chim chiền chiệnBay vút, vút caoLòng đầy yêu mếnKhúc hát ngọt ngào  (…)Con chim chiền chiện,Hồn xanh quê nhàSáng nay lại hót,Tưng bừng lòng ta » Được xem là một trong những nhà soạn nhạc có ảnh hưởng lớn nhất của Anh Quốc ở nửa đầu thế kỷ XX, Raph Vaughan Williams lấy nguồn cảm hứng từ hình cảnh con chim rời tổ, tự do bay lượn, ca hát trên trời cao khi ông sáng tác bản concerto The Lark Ascending. Tiếng vĩ cầm ở đây thánh thót như tiếng chim, « vút, vút cao » để một ngày nào nó « tung cánh chim tìm về tổ ấm »  …Bảo Giao hưởng Đồng quê Bức họa đồng quê, cảnh sông nước hữu tình, tiếng chim hót… cũng gợi lên hình ảnh mùa xuân trong lòng nhạc sĩ Beethoven (1770-1827) khi ông soạn bản Giao Hưởng Đồng Quê -La Symphonie Pastorale. Đây là bản giao hưởng số 6, được soạn cùng lúc với bản Symphonie số 5 mà chính tác giả đã gọi là bản Giao Hưởng của Định Mệnh. Beethoven trong vai nhạc trưởng đã điều khiển dàn nhạc suốt hơn 4 giờ đồng hồ trong đêm 22/12/1808. Một chương trình quá dài khiến cả hai bản giao hưởng rất nổi tiếng của ông đã bị nhiều tiếng chê bai. Khán giả thành Vienne khi đó hoàn toàn lạnh nhạt với hai trong số 9 bản symphonie mang tên Beethoven.Trở lại với bản Giao Hưởng Đồng Quê : khác với thường lệ đây là một bản Symphonie gồm đến 5 phần, ngay từ khuông nhạc đầu teien, tác giả đã đưa người nghe bước vào một khung trời bình yên, nơi có nắng ấm. nhạc phẩm này như một bức họa đồng quê : ta trông thấy Beethoven thả bước trên những cánh đồng, hương cỏ và những nụ hoa chớm nở chào đón khách bộ hành.Những con lạch tưới mát ruộng đồng, những bầy sơn ca, họa mi, chim sáo hòa vang tiếng hót.. Những đôi trai gái cười vui dưới bóng hàng cây ...  Rồi những hạt mưa xuân, giông tố, chim muông thu mình vào tổ.. .. những hạt mưa nhẹ dần, những mầm cây đâm trồi nẩy lộc …

The Grammy-nominated Neave Trio consists of violinist Anna Williams, cellist Mikhail Veselov, and pianist Eri Nakamura. They state their goal simply: To Engage. To Exchange. To Connect. Their 2024 album ROOTED features works centered around folk music by composers Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Bedrich Smetana, Joseph Suk, and Frank Martin. Neave Trio spoke with Suzanne about their collaborative process, and the touching story of how their ensemble got its name.

Bedrich Smetanas Moldau zählt zu den berühmtesten Klassikhits. Kaum jemand, der diese sanft dahingleitende, klangmalerische Tondichtung nicht kennt.  Doch weit weniger bekannt ist, dass die Moldau Teil eines grösseren Ganzen ist, eines 6-teiligen Zyklus mit dem Titel «Má vlast» (mein Vaterland) - eine Art Visitenkarte von Smetanas Heimat.  Das Werk hat bis heute für die Tschechen eine stark identitätsstiftende Funktion: Es ist eine Art musikalische Bibel mit alten Sagen sowie der Geschichte und der Landschaft Böhmens. So wird mit «Má vlast» auch alljährlich die Konzertsaison des «Prager Frühlings» eröffnet. In «Vyšehrad» erzählt ein wandernder Sänger von kühnen Heldentaten aus längst vergangenen Zeiten, dann verfolgt Smetana den Lauf der «Moldau», der durch «Böhmens Hain und Flur» geht, er erzählt die Geschichte der Amazone «Sárka», und er setzt den hussitischen Freiheitskämpfern samt ihrer Stadt «Tábor» ein Denkmal. In der letzten sinfonischen Dichtung geht es schliesslich um den sagenumwobenen Hügel «Blaník». Zu Smetanas 200. Geburtstag vergleicht Eva Oertle mit ihren Gästen, der Dirigentin Lena-Lisa Wüstendörfer und dem Musikwissenschaftler Hans-Georg Hofmann, Ausschnitte aus älteren und neueren Aufnahmen von Smetanas «Má vlast».

Commemorem el 199

Along with Antonin Dvorak and Bedrich Smetana, Leos Janacek is known as one of the three great Czech composers. He was born in Moravia, part of the Austrian Empire at the time, and became passionately interested in studying the folk music of his Moravian culture. After World War I, when the empire collapsed and Moravia became incorporated into the new country of Czechoslovakia, those nationalistic sentiments only increased, and Janacek was the perfect person to express those feelings through his music, seeing as his interest in the folk music of his homeland had been a lifelong passion for him. Enter the Sinfonietta, written in 1926, commissioned by none other than a Gymnastics festival! A sinfonietta is usually a smaller scale piece than a symphony, shorter, with a lighter orchestration and a lighter touch. But Janacek was always a rebel, and his Sinfonietta is a symphony in all but name, featuring an absolutely massive brass section that lustily performs the nationliaistic fanfares that Janacek gleefully adds  to the music. The Sinfonietta is an expression of patriotic love for Janacek's homeland, but it is also a piece that shows off so many of the things that make Janacek such a unique and underrated composer, his love of short fragmented melodies, his shocks and surprises, his innovative use of orchestration, and more. If you're not familiar with Janacek's music, the Sinfonietta is the perfect entry point, so come join us on this Patreon-sponsored episode!

Carlos Iribarren | La música checa es una habitual en nuestros auditorios y en Hoy Toca no tenemos ninguna duda de que se lo ha ganado a pulso por su gran calidad. Los 3 autores del programa de hoy son conocidos internacionalmente, sobre todo Antonin Dvorak y Bedrich Smetana. El tercero, nacido en Bohemia también, es Zdenek Fibich, cuyo talento queda patente en el movimiento seleccionado por Carlos para la ocasión. Hoy escucharemos movimientos ligeros de las primeras sinfonías de estos 3 autores mientras Carlos y Mario comentan algunos detalles, curiosidades y lo que va surgiendo alrededor de estas 3 brillantes obras sinfónicas. Esperamos que disfrutéis de la nueva entrega de Hoy Toca, el programa de Clásica FM que te quiere sorprender.

Bedrich Smetanas Klaviertrio op. 15 ist trotz aller Lebendigkeit und Energie Trauermusik. 1855 war seine geliebte vierjährige Tochter Friederike unerwartet an Scharlach gestorben. Die Trauer um seine musikalisch so talentierte Tochter verarbeitete Smetana in seinem Klaviertrio. Bei der Uraufführung war man geteilter Meinung – die einen hielten Smetanas Klaviertrio für ein ganz grosses Werk der Kammermusik, andere kritisierten die schroffen Passagen, die Brüche – und dass es keinen langsamen Satz enthält. Heute wird das Trio regelmässig gespielt; auf dem CD-Markt ist es reichlich vertreten. Jenny Berg vergleicht gemeinsam mit ihren beiden Gästen, der Pianistin Maki Wiederkehr und der Musikwissenschaftlerin Verena Naegele, fünf verschiedene Einspielungen dieses mitreissenden, hochromantischen Werks.

In this episode, we look at Hedwig's Theme from the Harry Potter series written by John Williams. We look at the origins being written for the trailer as well as how it is adapted over the course of all 8 films both by John Williams and the other three composers, Patrick Doyle, Nicholas Hooper and Alexandre Desplat. Along these lines, we see how this theme tells the story of Harry, Hogwarts, and owls. In other words, the world of magic.

Synopsis On today's date in 1868, the Czech composer Bedrich Smetana helped lay the foundation stone for Prague's future National Theatre. As the stone was driven into the soil with a ceremonial mallet, Smetana exclaimed, “In music is the life of the Czechs!” That same evening at Prague's New Town Theatre Smetana conducted the premiere performance of his new opera “Dalibor.” It's worthy of note that one of the players in the orchestra was a 26-year old violist and fellow composer named Antonin Dvorak. The subject matter of “Dalibor” seemed theatrically apt for the occasion: a Czech legend about a rebellious 15th century knight imprisoned for supporting a peasant uprising. During his imprisonment, according to the legend, Dalibor learned to play the violin so beautifully that people came to listen to him outside the window of the Prague Castle tower in which he was held. Thirteen years after the premiere of “Dalibor,” the National Theatre opened on June 11, 1881. For that gala occasion, another Smetana opera, “Libuse,” received its premiere performance. Sadly, by that time Smetana was completely deaf, mentally ailing, and desperately poor. To add insult to injury, the directors of the new theater had neglected to invite him to the gala premiere of his own opera! Despite the inexcusable snub, Smetana found his way into the theater, and, when called on the stage and recognized by the audience, was acknowledged with thunderous applause.

Synopsis Ask a serious music lover to name major figures in 20th century music and it's likely the names Schoenberg, Stravinsky and Bartók will crop up. But in addition to those Austrian, Russian, and Hungarian composers, a lively group of Italian modernists were also active throughout the 20th century  – only their names and music are not so well-known. One of them was Goffredo Petrassi, born in 1904. Petrassi became one of the leading figures in a group of Italian composers that included Luigi Dallapiccola, Alfredo Casella, and Gian Francesco Malipiero. This group tried to compensate for Italy's almost total preoccupation with opera by concentrating more on instrumental pieces. Petrassi's own musical influences range from the Italian Renaissance music he sang as a young choirboy in Rome to the works of abstract painters like Jackson Pollock that he viewed when visiting America. Petrassi's largest body of work was his eight Concertos for Orchestra composed between 1933 and 1972, but in his final years he turned to chamber works, such as this “Autumn Sestina” completed in 1982, scored for six instruments. When asked where the “Autumn” in the title came from, the 78-year-old Petrassi responded: “Perhaps it's got something to do with my age.”  Music Played in Today's Program Goffredo Petrassi (1904 - 2003) — Sestina d'autunno (Compania; Andrea Molino, cond.)

No guest today! Just Danielle and Maggie. We can talk about a lot things…. But we wanted to talk to what it's been like to have our kids back to in-person school, COVID updates, Advent and Year End.Maggie said, yes let's start with Advent. It's the season we're in, both in the Church Calendar and in our lives with COVID. It's the waiting, the darkness, but also the anticipation. This is parallel to the long season of COVID we're in.For Maggie's family:  Historically kids have done the little chocolate calendars and it taught them about anticipation in a very embodied sense—every morning they woke up with excitement to go to the calendar and the anticipation as the calendar was a countdown of sorts until Christmas Day.It lacked spiritual depth and connectionLast year we used Advent Conversation cards from “Kids Read Truth” – these were fabulous as they had varying prompts for kids of different ages so each child was able to engage the conversation at their level of understanding.This year we are doing a “Jesse Tree” – which helps connect the customs of decorating the Christmas Tree to events leading up to Jesus' birth. “The ornaments of the Jesse tree tell the story of God in the Old Testament, connecting the Advent season with the faithfulness of God across thousands of years of history.”Also this year, more aware of the Advent candles – I've always seen them but this year I am learning their meaning and hope that in the future I can incorporate that into what we do as a family.Learning about the advent candles of – Hope, Faith, Joy and PeaceWhat I'm seeing around my community: I have a number of friends that are using An Advent devotional put out by “Reclaiming my Theology” – My people are examining and rethinking right now. They are processing harmful and bad theology and trying to reclaim their faith -- They are recreating, reimagining, reconnecting in new and deeper ways. It's truly beautiful to watch and come along side.For Danielle, Advent start with her daughter Julie. She usually pulks out paper and draws a nativity scene. Five years ago, when she was only nine years old, she painted the nativity scene on a wall of their house. You can see this years' drawing (it's on Instagram and is the cover art for this podcast episode)—all the people in the scene have their eyes closed, but the animals and the angels have their eyes open. Baby Jesus is portrayed as a tried, maybe even a little frustrated, baby that's sleep is being interrupted by the crowd. They're family also does the Chocolate calendars and Marvel LEGO advent (Maggie too!)Danielle's grandma passed away right before Thanksgiving; she just feels dead tired. In those places where she's desired to be more intentional, she just feels she can't. The memorial service was help far away and so she and her family watched via live stream. She noticed the next day that her kids just couldn't settle, they just wanted to lay around. It's felt like a passing of a generation and the tiredness of the year they've had. So on Sunday, rather then attending or listening to a church service, they just gathered in their living room and watched Pentatonix music videos, singing along and talking about which Christmas carol they feel most connected to. So overall this year's advent has been more informal or maybe less intentional for their family, but no less meaningful. Maggie loves how Julie is leading this space for her family. She too loves seeing her Advent drawings every year. And that because Julie has painted a nativity scene on the wall of their house, it's up all year round. Maggie totally feels the tired weariness Danielle is talking about. She said by odd coincidence or God's intentional plan, her grandma also passed away, the day after Thanksgiving. She's tired, dead tired, and sometimes feels not in to Christmas this year. For instance, she has one strand of lights up on her house when normally she would do the whole house… But that is the amount of energy she has for it this year: one strand on the front of the house. And it doesn't feel any less meaningful or intentional, like Danielle said, it is just the capacity that their family has right now for the season they are in. Danielle said it also speaks to the long season that we've all been in for COVID. She knows that other people have experienced far more death than she. And yet, we're coming up on two years and this Christmas is one that feels more like normal…. To have a death in her family feels like, “really?!?” Her favorite Christmas Carol is “O Holy Night” and there's a line about “the weary world rejoices,” and she feels like, yeah that's where we're at right now. Profound weariness of a COVID season that is coming up on two years. Maggie says yes, it has been a long two years; in fact it has felt like five years. Part of the weariness for Maggie is this feeling “when will this end?” I've stopped watching the COVID numbers in our area because it was easy to ride it like an emotional rollercoaster. She's had friends and family near and far see loved ones get sick, a few who passed away, more who've recovered and some with long term lasting side effects. She's watched and experienced myself the divisiveness of vaccines and how there's a strong sense of the binary nature of things – “it's either this or that” without holding space for complexity or nuance. The increased emotional disruption, the increased anxiety, loneliness, and social pressure…It is affecting everyone, this long haul. Danielle's seen increase in depression and anxiety, connectedness and disconnectedness. Almost everyone is having conversations around vaccines, mask wearing, racism, systemic oppression, critical race theory, natural disasters. She told the Lord, really? You couldn't have waited on that?? It's a cocktail storm—at times there are breaks where you can see the sun and it feels like it will be better, other times where you're caught up in and things are crashing in. She says it's hard in the fragments in our family to address these bigger things: racism, systemic oppression, faith, abortion, sex trafficking… She mentions the Jeffery Epstein trial and the Maxwell who facilitating the trafficking of the girls. She finds people to be on this side or that side and there's no shared reality. Danielle believes that this is a lot of where Jesus was born into: empire and oppressed people waiting for hope and there's not a shared reality. Jesus stepped in to all of that mess… and here we are in 2021 and it feels like the same things.Maggie says this connection Danielle made brings her a lot of comfort—that Jesus, in his embodied self, experienced the same kind of jarring reality of Empire – Oppressed People when He was born into this world. Because this is the season of God with us and He is with us in what we are currently experiencing. This is nothing new for Him—He knows, embodied-ly, what we are experiencing embodied-ly. Danielle asks Maggie, Where do you find yourself in the naivety story? She hasn't thought of it before. She gives her an example from her daughter's naivety scene: The angels are Adam Toledo, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. In the scene they have their eyes open and are smiling. We talk about Jesus being outside of space and time and yet He entered a particular space and time. Somehow her daughter's imagination, they were there in that space and time. And maybe they are there as we re-live the nativity this year. What catches Maggie most about Julie's picture is the eyes. The people directly in the scene have their eyes closed, those outside the scene looking in—like the angels—have their eyes open. “I'm pondering what that looks likes for me: am I someone who has their eyes open to what is happening presently or am I someone who had their eyes closed?” Maggie says she want to be in that scene Julie created someone who has their eyes open and yet she feels the embodied-ness of that scene and those in it have their eyes closed. “I feel caught.” She asks Danielle where she is in the scene?Danielle feels similarly—she's been thinking about it more because her daughter drew it and art has all these layers and “what does this all mean?” She says that because she is in the present she probably has her eyes closed, feeling it and living it, moving through it 2021. In some ways to bear all that has happened in 2021, she's had to have her eyes closed to some things. “That feels so true,” Maggie adds, “because how could we possibly bear it all?” And Maggie thinks that makes a lot of sense for the picture too—when we are fully embodied and present, it is a lot to take in—collectively, culturally, individually, COVID, systemic racism, the legal system, upcoming election. Danielle asks Maggie what wrapping up this year looks for her. It's actually the second year ending in COVID, so what does Prep for the end of 2021 look like?  Usual is to reflect back on the year, create an inventory of sorts. For years I've used Jennie Allen's Dream Guide, which I think I mentioned last year… I'll set goes professional, personal, spiritually, etc. This year, because of what her family has been through, she wants to provide a space for her kids to process. Jo Saxton and Steph O'Brien have a “Hello Goodbye” end of the year guide and this year I saw they have one for kids and families. So I bought that and am looking forward to as a family look back on the hard year and help them process their experiences and dream for what's ahead. Make meaning, there are things we are going to keep from this year; resilience, new theology, new friends, etc. And there are things that we need to say goodbye to. So this year in particular it feels really good to try this practice because with as much as we are holding as adults and parents, their little bodies are holding it too, and school and family. Comes from a desire to create space, make a ritual or a practice to make meaning. Danielle has also thought about Jo and Steph's “Hello Goodbye” and for her family she's wanting to write down the thing they want to, as a family, say goodbye to and then burn it. “My family likes fire!” Her 10-year-old Ben has hidden a package of firecrackers in his room and was asking when they should light them off. Danielle was thinking at New Year's so they can let go of the year. The kids have been back to school this year, an emotional rollercoaster. it's been hard to adjust, hard to make friends. With the new year she is hoping some of rust from isolation will fall off. Maggie loves the meaning making, intentionality of the firecrackers. She says the lighting off firecrackers is visceral and sensational – there will be the loud auditory, the bright visual, the felt heat of the fire as it's lit. It feels really powerful to have the senses awakened in that moment; powerful and also meaningful intellectually and physically. Danielle asks Maggie, “Where do you hope to go? Can you even hope for next year?” Maggie says she is cautious about hope. I want to hope and I do hope. The last two years has caused me to be afraid of in my imagination – to reign in what I can do professional, what we can do as a family. It's caused me to think small; things feel hard and scary. It is a different level of what is possible. Saying something out loud feels dangerous.Danielle is hoping for more rest. When talking with her business coach, under every category business, personal, family etc. was REST. I want to find more rest, sometimes I have time and I can't rest. I need to think through other ways to rest, for her body, for work, for her family. There are so many urgent needs and I want to be involved in those, but not if I am not rested. Maggie said yes! That feels like defiant kindness, to herself, her family, her community. Danielle is reading: Mostly blogs, news and her instagram feed. Stuff on racism. The Atlantic. Her friends' paper. Danielle is listening to: Just finished the Rise and Fall of Mars Hill podcast. Been listening to the soundtracks of movies all the way through – right now it's the new West Side Story and imagine what's happening. Danielle is inspired by: her kids. Pursing music, art, sports, and fun. They love to love life. Kids were like why should we buy wrapping paper? We have all this scrap paper we can just decorate it and use it. New way of thinking about recycling!Maggie is reading:Chuck DeGroat's “When Narcissism Comes to Church," it just seemed like this was the year that needed this book Reading aloud Watership Down by Richard Adams to her son Levi. Maggie is listening to:Yes I too finished the Rise and Fall of Mars Hill and really recommend everyone listen to it. What I'm listening to now is Classical music, which is a shift for me. Mozart, Bach, Dvorak. But what's really hitting me is Bedrich Smetana's “The Moldau.” I first heard the song in college taking a Music Appreciation class.  It's a symphonic poem about the river Vltava in his home country of as it builds from a little stream in Bavaria through the Czech countryside to a full rushing water way in the heart of Prague. I love the way the music captures the building, creating musical pictures. it's whimsical and enchanting and I feel it deeply in my body when I listen to it. Maggie is inspired by:People. The folks I'm journeying with in Story Work at the Allender Center. My friends and their resilient faith amidst deconstruction of theology and ecclesiology. My community and how much they've come alongside and supported me and my family these past few weeks. I'm filled with awe and gratitude for these and many more defiant acts of kindness, a display of humanity. Danielle said after all that she wants to start another conversation. Maggie laughs, we really could talk about anything!Last minute wisdom from Maggie: “Allow it.” Allow whatever comes up for you to be there. Acknowledge it, name, put words to it if you want to. And then also rest and soul care—find out what's restful to you and allow yourself to have. From Danielle: Keep listening to the Arise Podcast and share it with your friends.Holiday is a commercial international thing. Find a place to chill out, maybe it's someplace inside you that's safe. Marinate in what your feelings. Be who you are, where you are.

Born in Sheffield to a father who had come to Britain on the Kindertransport, he started his research career working on unexplained symptoms and syndromes, leading progressive and sometimes controversial work on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Disagreement about whether the condition is physical or psychological continues to this day and although Simon’s studies helped develop a treatment programme, there is still no cure. Later he switched his attention to the military, exploring Gulf War Syndrome, PTSD, the risk and benefit of military service, social and psychological outcomes for ex-service personnel and historic aspects of war and psychiatry. In 1996 he established the Gulf War Illness Research Unit which subsequently became the King’s Centre for Military Health Research. He completed a term as president of the Royal Society of Medicine – the first psychiatrist to occupy the post - and in 2017 he led an independent review of the Mental Health Act.

11 mai 1986. Près d’un siècle après la course au pôle de Cook et Peary, l’explorateur français Jean-Louis Étienne parvient au pôle Nord, seul avec ses chiens de traîneau, après soixante-trois jours épuisants de crapahutage... Il vient de traverser un interminable chaos de glace, dépassant tout ce qu’il avait pu imaginer : « C’est un labyrinthe hérissé de blocs cisaillés, écrit-il, brusquement dressés les uns contre les autres dans un désordre infernal. » Ce qu’il y a de fascinant, chez les grands randonneurs explorateurs, c’est leur aptitude à traduire dans les mots l’infini de certaines sensations de voyage : « J’ai l’impression d’évoluer au sein d’un cimetière antédiluvien », raconte-t-il. « J’ai pénétré enfin dans le cercle enchanté, au cœur de la citadelle cristalline (...) avec la sensation extraordinaire de me faufiler subrepticement dans un univers de conte de fées. » Lorsqu’il touche les 89° 993’ de latitude nord, l’explorateur est si ému qu’il en pleure.

Hugo, Lamartine, Musset, Baudelaire, George Sand... En 1855, ces grands auteurs, parmi une trentaine d’autres, rendent hommage à Claude-François Denecourt, dans un ouvrage remis en main propre à l’intéressé lors d’un banquet à Paris. Son titre de gloire ? Avoir mis à la mode la forêt de Fontainebleau – bientôt terrain de jeu des peintres de l’École de Barbizon – mais, plus encore, avoir inventorié ses essences, fixé ses sentiers de randonnée, bâti partout des marches en pavés de grès... Denecourt a écrit un guide célèbre, sans cesse réédité, qui accompagne le promeneur dans sa découverte. Théophile Gautier n’ira-t-il pas jusqu’à le comparer à Sylvain, la divinité des bois ? « Son paletot est couleur bois, dit-il, son pantalon noisette, ses mains, hâlées par l’air, font saillir des muscles semblables à des nervures de chêne ; ses cheveux mêlés ressemblent à des broussailles ; (...) ses pieds mordent le sol comme des racines."

Parmi les marches effectuées par le journaliste Jacques Lanzmann,  celle de 1983, à travers la partie désertique d’Israël, aura peut-être  été la plus rude : l’aridité est cruelle dans le Néguev. À l’époque, Tsahal effectue des essais militaires dans le Sinaï, et  le moins que l’on puisse dire est que cela ne facilite pas la vie de  notre randonneur de l’extrême : « Avions et chars lancent leur  mitraille, écrira Lanzmann pour Paris Match. Ça pète de partout. Des  pans de montagne s’écroulent. On sursaute en marchant. On sursaute en  dormant. Des fusées éclairantes descendent du ciel, suspendues à leur  petit parachute. » Au bout de ce parcours du combattant, apparaîtra pourtant la cime  chère à Moïse : « Oh, mont magique, sommet divin ! Nous voici enfin  venus à toi. Les yeux aimantés sur l’horizon chromo, où les roses et les  bleus vaporeux dansent une sorte de folle sarabande, nous contemplons  le chemin parcouru. » D’autant plus beau qu’il fut difficile.   CRÉDITS Un  podcast interprété par Franck Ferrand.

En 1930, il est rare qu’une femme soit grand reporter ; plus rare encore qu’elle se rende au cœur de l’URSS stalinienne, à la découverte de la Russie profonde ! Voilà pourtant le genre d’exploit auquel se livre Ella Maillart, une jeune Suisse, championne olympique de voile en solitaire – en attendant de briller dans des épreuves de ski alpin... Rien n’arrête Ella. Nous l’avons suivie dans le nord du Caucase, affrontant les éléments, telle « une femme bottée de mouton, le teint cuit par l’altitude ou le vent du désert, qui explore des régions inaccessibles » – la pochade est de Paul Morand. Un jour qu’elle a été mordue au mollet par un chien, son guide, la voyant diminuée, l’interroge du regard : « Jeune étrangère, que veux-tu faire ? (...) » Continuer ? Abandonner ? « Quoi que tu fasses, toi seule décides et en supportes les conséquences. » Ella Maillart décide de continuer, et nous entraîne dans sa folle aventure.

« Une certaine nostalgie s’attache aux choses qui disparaissent,  écrivait Théodore Monod, quand on les a aimées. » C’est peu de dire de  ce naturaliste, professeur au Museum national d’histoire naturelle  disparu en l’an 2000, qu’il aura aimé le désert. Parmi toutes ses pérégrinations, nous avons retenu celle de 1934-1935  à travers le Sahara occidental, au nord de la Mauritanie. Et recueilli  dans ses carnets, ou dans son livre, Méharées, les notations pleines de  justesses qui restituent sous sa plume les souffrances d’un marcheur,  l’éblouissement d’un scientifique et d’un poète. Dans un autre ouvrage, L’émeraude des Garamantes, il écrit : «  L’entrée en religion implique la soumission à une règle. L’entrée “en”  Sahara place également le postulant devant un certain nombre  d’exigences, éléments d’un genre de vie spécifique et dont tout vieux  profès reconnaîtra les bienfaits. » Des bienfaits que le pèlerin des  sables ne garde pas pour lui ; lui, se veut prodigue des leçons qu’il a  reçues.

Le Japon de l’après-guerre, un pays meurtri, en mutation profonde : tel est le cadre des marches qu’effectue Nicolas Bouvier, lors de son second séjour dans l’archipel, au début des années 1960.  J’ai aimé suivre les pas de ce baroudeur à la barbe fournie, amoureux des horizons vastes, mais fumant cigarette sur cigarette... Laissant derrière lui sa femme et ses enfants, Bouvier emprunte des routes anciennes, s’invite dans les sanctuaires shinto, assiste à des combats de sumo... Sans relâche, au temps de la photo argentique, il mitraille les singularités du Japon – et les commente dans un style incisif. L’un de ses haïkus préférés dit : « Va toujours à pied ; mange simplement ; ne dors jamais deux fois dans la même auberge ; ne t’engage pas dans des bavardages stériles. Regarde au fond de toi-même. » Lui-même aurait pu se fixer des règles à ce point ascétiques. Son voyage au Japon sera suivi de bien d’autres ; mais jamais plus l’observateur ne vibrera autant avec son sujet. CRÉDITS Un podcast interprété par Franck Ferrand. Auteur : Christophe Dard.

C’est en juin 1912, peu de temps avant cette Grande Guerre qui devait le voir périr, que Charles Péguy entreprend son fameux pèlerinage à Chartres. Il est accompagné de son fils, Marcel, 14 ans, et du jeune Alain-Fournier, alors en train d’écrire son Grand Meaulnes. Dans un long poème, Présentation de la Beauce à Notre-Dame de Chartres, le poète devait immortaliser son périple jusqu’à l’apparition, au loin, du somptueux édifice : « Mais vous apparaissez, reine mystérieuse./ Cette pointe là-bas dans le moutonnement/ Des moissons et des bois et dans le flottement/ De l’extrême horizon ce n’est point une yeuse »... Un autre petit chef-d’œuvre, Les cinq prières dans la cathédrale de Chartres, nous révèle ses oraisons devant la statue de Notre-Dame du Pilier. Ressusciter ce pèlerinage fondateur et ceux qui l’ont suivi m’a permis de mieux cerner Péguy et les « grâces inouïes » qu’il a reçues à Chartres. CRÉDITS Un podcast interprété par Franck Ferrand.

145 175 kilomètres en 87 600 heures – qui dira mieux ? À la Belle Époque, une certaine frénésie s’empare des esprits et des corps ; alors que naît le sport moderne, certains se lancent à eux-mêmes des défis a priori surhumains, à cheval ou à bicyclette... Yves Gallot, lui, n’a besoin d’aucune monture, puisqu’il est tout bonnement devenu le roi de la marche ! « L’homme-vapeur », comme l’appellent certains journalistes, est allé jusqu’en Amérique, apprendre chez les Sioux une technique de marche rapide. De sorte qu’en 1897, il fera mieux qu’un cavalier célèbre en parcourant, 50 heures durant, 278 kilomètres ! Je me suis amusé à feuilleter son livre, L’art de marcher, et ses déclarations truculentes dans le Journal des voyages : « Une force irrésistible me pousse à marcher. Et puis, on a son amour-propre ; on veut faire plus que les autres ; on aime voir son nom couvert de louanges ; on s’entend acclamer : le roi des marcheurs, le champion du monde – et dame !

Solitaire et taciturne, Paul Cézanne, natif d’Aix-en-Provence où il passera le plus clair de sa vie, fait figure de peintre casanier. Volontiers on se le figure immobile ou presque, assis sur son tabouret, peuplant silencieusement ses toiles de natures mortes et de paysages – et créant au passage, en deux dimensions, un délicieux univers... Et pourtant : rares, sans doute, auront été les artistes à s’être à ce point déplacés, cherchant sans relâche le meilleur point de vue sur un sujet favori – la montagne Sainte-Victoire. « Regardez-la, lançait-il, quel élan ! Quelle impérieuse soif de soleil ! Et quelle mélancolie, le soir, quand toute cette pesanteur retombe ! » Jour après jour, des années durant, Cézanne l’aura sillonnée, sa Provence ; il aura marché sans trêve, sans autre but que la beauté. Cela devait faire de lui, forcément, un personnage tout désigné pour notre série« Pèlerins dans l’âme » et créer l’occasion rêvée de montrer celui qui chemine pour mieux se fondre dans le paysage.

À quoi ressemblait un pèlerinage en Terre sainte aux premiers siècles de l’ère chrétienne ? Je me suis penché sur le cas d’Égérie, riche habitante de l’Empire romain qui, à la fin du IVe siècle, sillonne la Galilée sur les pas de Jésus. D’où vient cette mystérieuse pèlerine ? De Galice, d’Aquitaine, de Narbonnaise ? Nul ne saurait le dire. On la suit dans ses pérégrinations grâce à son journal, découvert en 1884 à la bibliothèque d’Arezzo, en Toscane. Imaginons-la affrontant les dangers du voyage pour nourrir sa foi. Dans l’un des beaux passages de sa narration, elle demande à un prêtre qui l’accompagne de la conduire sur les lieux où saint Jean-Baptiste avait baptisé. Il la mène jusqu’à un merveilleux verger : « Il nous y a montré, dit-elle, en son milieu, une fontaine d’une eau tout à fait excellente et pure (...) devant laquelle il y avait un bassin ; c’est là que Jean-Baptiste avait exercé son activité. » Quand l’émotion, intacte, franchit les siècles...

Immortelle randonnée : avec ce beau titre et une pointe d’humour, l’académicien Jean-Christophe Rufin signe son pèlerinage à Saint-Jacques de Compostelle. Pas étonnant que Le Pèlerin m’ait convié à communiquer la sève d’un tel récit aux auditeurs de notre série « Pèlerins dans l’âme ». Les souvenirs de ce voyageur attentif sont à la fois prosaïques et profonds, mêlés de notations quotidiennes et de vastes perspectives. Les souffrances physiques, les sacrifices, les vexations du marcheur ne nous sont pas épargnées ; mais elles se trouvent ponctuées d’instants ineffables : « J’eus droit à des crépuscules nimbés de brume dorée et à des aubes apaisées, violettes comme des lèvres de nouveau-né, s’émeut ainsi Jean-Christophe Rufin. Dans mon sommeil toujours léger se mêlaient le jappement des chiens, loin dans les fermes, et le murmure tout proche du ressac qui ourdissait sans relâche son complot millénaire contre les terres. » Au bout du chemin, le marcheur « humble, discret, bousculé par le monde moderne » se présente à la grand-messe des pèlerins et assiste à l’allumage du botafumeiro, l’encensoir géant de la basilique Saint-Jacques. La catharsis a opéré ; chez nous autant qu’en lui.   CRÉDITS Un podcast interprété par Franck Ferrand. Auteur : Christophe Dard. Direction éditoriale et voix : Catherine Lalanne.

Saviez-vous qu’Aurore Dupin, mieux connue sous son nom de plume George Sand, avait beaucoup marché ? Mais oui : vers la fin de la décennie 1850, partant de son Nohant, dans l’Indre, elle a arpenté sans relâche les sentes du Berry, notamment le long de « la Creuse aux belles eaux bleues rayées de rochers blancs et de remous écumeux ». Randonnant en compagnie choisie, elle tombe un beau soir sur le bourg de Gargilesse : « C’est un nid bâti au fond d’un entonnoir de collines rocheuses où se sont glissées des zones de terre végétale. (...) Vingt sources courant dans les plis du rocher, ou surgissant dans les enclos herbus, entretiennent la beauté de la végétation environnante », écrit-elle de sa plume généreuse.  Gargilesse lui plaira tant qu’elle finira par y acquérir une petite maison – elle se visite toujours – pour y abriter ses amours avec Alexandre Manceau. George Sand viendra le plus possible à pied, passer là des journées bien douces...  Pour Le Pèlerin, j’ai tenté d’en fixer la couleur, prenant soin de le faire avec ses mots à elle : « Les rivages herbus, les arbres, les terrains étincelants au soleil, qui baisse et rougit. Tout est rose, chaud, d’un calme sublime. » CRÉDITS Un podcast interprété par Franck Ferrand. Auteur : Christophe Dard. Direction éditoriale et voix : Catherine Lalanne.

Baroudeur, moraliste, aventurier, esthète, honnête homme égaré dans notre XXIe siècle, Sylvain Tesson est tout cela, sans doute ; mais à mes yeux, il est d’abord un remarquable écrivain.  Quand Le Pèlerin m’a  demandé de raconter à ma façon l’une de ses longues marches à travers le monde – 25 000 km parcourus à travers 35 pays – j’aurais pu choisir, sa pérégrination extrême de la Sibérie à l’Inde. J’ai préféré le suivre,  l’accompagner par la pensée, dans le défi qu’en 2014, après un accident grave, il s’est lancé à lui-même : traverser la France à pied depuis le Mercantour, au bord de l’Italie, jusqu’au cap de La Hague, en évitant  soigneusement les grands axes et les zones urbaines. Une France des chemins noirs et des pays perdus, des friches et des jachères, des confins et des terroirs...  À la fin, presque remis, en tout cas régénéré, il louera le destin de lui avoir « accordé la grâce de marcher à nouveau tout son soûl et de dormir à la belle étoile, sur les avant-postes vivables : les vires des parois, les sous-bois, les bords des falaises. » Avec ce sens du raccourci qui n’appartient qu’à lui, il écrit : « Le pays était là, sous mon dos. » Chaque jeudi, écoutez un nouvel épisode sur les plateformes de podcast et sur notre site   www.lepelerin.com CRÉDITS Un podcast interprété par Franck Ferrand.

Béatifié en 2005 par le pape Benoît XVI, Charles de Foucauld fait figure, à nos yeux, d’incarnation moderne de la fraternité universelle. Le marcheur du désert, l’ami des Touaregs, paraît un peu figé dans la posture idéale du grand méditatif.  C’est justement dans l’intention de bousculer cette image que je me suis complu, à l’invitation du Pèlerin, à présenter d’abord une autre facette du personnage où l’on voit un Charles de Foucauld de Pontbriand jeune, indiscipliné, menant sans trop de freins une vie qu’il est permis de qualifier de dissolue...  Nous voyons ce garçon de 25 ans découvrir, bien avant le Hoggar, la partie marocaine du Sahara et se familiariser avec les charmes et les affres du désert, sa dureté presque inhumaine et son vide absolu. Ensuite seulement – converti en l’église Saint-Augustin de Paris, entré au monastère de Nazareth, ordonné prêtre au diocèse de Viviers et parti pour le désert algérien, à Béni Abbès –, il atteindra la dimension que nous admirons tant chez lui : « Je veux habituer tous les habitants, écrira-t-il à sa cousine, chrétiens, musulmans, juifs et idolâtres, à me regarder comme leur frère.

Loué soit le mari d’Alexandra David-Néel, pour la générosité avec laquelle il n’aura cessé de financer les expéditions de son épouse ! Sans sa constance, l’une des marcheuses les plus intrépides du XXe siècle n’aurait pu tester ses limites. Dans le récit que je lui consacre pour Le Pèlerin, je saisis Alexandra David-Néel à la gare Saint-Lazare, le 12 mai 1925, revenant de quatorze années ininterrompues de marche à travers l’Orient, jusqu’à la mythique capitale du Tibet, alors interdite aux étrangers : Lhassa. Grimés, déguisés en mendiants, Alexandra et son fils adoptif, Yongden, auront dû cacher leur identité et déjouer cent embûches, s’abreuver de neige fondue et se nourrir du cuir de leurs bottes, pour aller au bout de leur pérégrination. Quelques mois plus tôt, ils ont passé le Nouvel An tibétain sur le toit du monde : « Les toits d’or des temples lançaient de brefs éclairs, raconte-t-elle. Le soleil merveilleux de l’Asie centrale illuminait le paysage... Tout vibrait, gorgé de lumière, semblant prêt à se transformer en flammes. » Éblouissement inoubliable, dont la voyageuse rapporte la leçon jusqu’aux quais d’une gare parisienne...

Giacomo Puccini's opera La Boheme is about struggling artists in Paris. Its title means "the bohemian lifestyle." But Bohemia isn't in France; it's in the Czech Republic. Other composers such as Antonin Dvorak, Bedrich Smetana, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Jules Massenet, were also inspired by this part of the world, using its music and describing its beautiful countryside in their works.

Some composer’s names might be hard to pronounce, but they sure sound better than they would in English. Giuseppe Verdi’s name, for example, would be Joe Green; Gustav Mahler would be Gus Painter; and Johann S. Bach would be John S. Brook. And in this same alternate universe, Czech composer Bedrich Smetana’s name is Fred Sour Cream! In Fred’s honor, here is an excerpt from his famous “Moldau,” a piece inspired by the Czech river running through hundreds of miles of dairyland.

Bedrich Smetana hat nur drei Kammermusikwerke geschrieben. Zwei davon haben unmittelbare autobiographische Bezüge:

At the core of Czech cultural identity is this week's piece - Ma Vlast by Bedrich Smetana. Written in the late 19th century, it's a series of six symphonic poems. For a western audience the most popular and best loved is Vltava, a soundscape which conjures up vivid images of the river which runs through Prague. Jan Kaplan is a Czech born film-maker who has lived in the UK since 1968. He describes the 'educational concerts' he had to attend as a young boy when - bored to tears - he would endure long performances of Smetana's music. However, as an adult living in exile, his experience of Czech culture was tinged with a remote sense of patriotism and he grew to appreciate his national composer. When - following the 1989 Velvet revolution - he was eventually able to return home, he witnessed one of the most famous and moving performances of Ma Vlast at Smetana Hall in 1990. Also at that concert was musicologist, Professor Jan Smaczny, who describes his memories of that evening, and explains the history and mythology portrayed in Ma Vlast. Producer: Karen Gregor.

Listen to the interview here!Tell me a little about yourself and your writing.I’ve been writing for years, off and on, but I never tried writing historical fiction until I re-read Christopher Marlowe’s play Edward the Second online and became fascinated by the historical background to the play. I began researching the reign of Edward II, and when I stumbled across the story of his niece, Eleanor de Clare, I knew I had to tell her story. Her story became my novel, The Traitor’s Wife, and her eldest son’s story became my second novel, Hugh and Bess: A Love Story. I’m now working on a novel set during the Wars of the Roses.Tell me about the story that you've created a soundtrack/playlist for.The Traitor’s Wife, set in fourteenth-century England, follows the dramatic changes in fortune of Eleanor de Clare, favorite niece of the ill-fated Edward II and the wife of Hugh le Despenser, who’s believed by many to have been Edward II’s lover. Eleanor at various times in her life was a lady in waiting to Edward II’s queen, the wife of the most powerful (and most hated) man in England, a prisoner in the Tower of London, an accused thief, and the subject of litigation between two men who each claimed to be her husband.What is your playlist?Bedrich Smetana, “The Moldau,” from Ma Vlast. This piece is a musical depiction of a river, and it reminds me of Eleanor’s uncle Edward II, who enjoyed rowing and swimming at a time when both pastimes were considered far beneath the nobility.Carl Orff's “Oh, Fortuna,” from Carmina Burana. The terrible scene where Eleanor’s first husband is executed always takes place to this piece in my head.Edward William Elgar, Enigma Variation No.9: Adagio (Nimrod). A lovely piece of music that I associate with my novel, though I can’t really explain why.Bruce Springsteen, “Rosalita” —for the scene where Eleanor elopes with her second husband.Bruce Springsteen, “Dancing in the Dark.” This was a long novel, and I love the line in this song: “I’m sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book.”There are others, but I would have to hear them on the radio to remember them. I should steal my daughter’s iPod.What does music mean to you? To your writing?I enjoy music a great deal, from rock to classical to truly awful pop, though I can’t say it has had a profound effect on me or my writing. It’s just something I like to have with me and that I would miss terribly if it wasn’t around.What kind of music do you like to write to?I don’t listen to music when I write fiction—I find that it negatively affects my concentration. Strangely, my day job with a legal publisher involves writing too, but there’s no creativity involved, so I don’t find the classical music I have in the background distracting. But with fiction, the only sound is my computer keys tapping.If this story was made into a movie, who would you want to do the soundtrack?That’s a very hard question for me to answer, because with the exception of Marie Antoinette, most of the movies I’ve seen in the last few years have been comedies. Adrian Johnston did the soundtrack for the BBC miniseries “Our Mutual Friend” about a decade ago, which I really liked, and Patrick Doyle has done the soundtrack for a number of films I’ve enjoyed. But I had to go to the Internet Movie Database to get their names—I’m not at all au courant on these matters.To learn more about Susan, visit her website.Next week, I interview author Jason Erik Lundberg.
