O Belamo—

[star-warrior]

Where are you?

Why have you forsaken me?

Are you playing with my emotions?

Are you pococurante?

He was despiséd

He was rejected

A man of sorrows

and acquainted with grief.

 

[Cormac135]

Is our gallant hero still lost to us.

Such is the human condition.

I hope Kallipolis and his fellow-God-fearers aren't offended that I reused these words from The Messiah.

I am NOT comparing myself to his Jesus, Lord and Saviour, who suffered humiliation while making His soul an offering for sin and making an intercession for the transgressors, no.

And anyway, Belamo I now you love Haendel.

In fact I adore the ouverture

pathetic.

 

[pat grimshaw]

And i know you like Haendel's We Like Sheep.

Handel was genius. I love all his music. Even the 'religious' stuff is great, although I usually prefer all that nonsense to be sung in a language that I don't understand ... so anything other than English really.

 

[Essex Boy]

Well if Handel's the man of the moment you can count me in.

Just for you. (I hope you haven't seen this before.)

The fascinating Belamo loves these visual representations of sound.

He's rational and analytic and scorns sensuous emotions and love.

He loves the mathematics of Bach and Haendel compared to the slushy romanticism of Dvorak and Tchaikovsky.

If the fascinating Belamo were here he'd be telling Miss Hepburn in no uncertain terms that the rain in Spain does not stay mainly in the plains.

 

[pat grimshaw]

I wonder how Belamo's agile brain would get round the epic sentences produced by that Californian genderist named judith butler, e.g.—

The move from a structuralist account in which capital is understood to structure social relations in relatively homologous ways to a view of hegemony in which power relations are subject to repetition, convergence, and rearticulation brought the question of temporality into the thinking of structure, and marked a shift from a form of Althusserian theory that takes structural totalities as theoretical objects to one in which the insights into the contingent possibility of structure inaugurate a renewed conception of hegemony as bound up with the contingent sites and strategies of the rearticulation of power.

 

[kallipolis]

^Clearly too simplistic a notion for Judith Butler to get her brain to assimilate, when the wisest of people articulate their thoughts without need to focus on a pedantic thought that fails to convey its meaning, beyond the impression that its author knows better than the rest of the species.

 

[rareboy]

^ Pretty much this.

But it reads like the kind of thing that Belamo would tell the rest of us that we are just too stupid to appreciate.

 

[zoltanspawn]

I never thought he was that precise.

 

[JerryPic]

Anyways, I hope he's alright... out there somewhere

It is also perfectly possible to love the mathematics of Bach, Handel, and other great baroque composers ... and yet also enjoy and love the emotional melodies of Dvorak, Tchaikovsky, and other great romantics. Music never has to be a case of either/or. I actually feel quite sorry for those with a restricted appreciation of musical genres.
