Klasik Müzik - Ravel-Pavane for Dead Princess

Septette for a Dead Princess. Has anyone else made the connection?

gershwin copied his style i think

Beau . Merci

however, as i listen, i hear the princess come to life again!

Música divina música. Pra acalmar minha alma, meu coração!

Listening to this while raining outside...perfect...

I’m a french horn player. I love playing Mahler, Tchaikovsky, Prokofiev . . . But the horn solo at the beginning of this piece will always be my favorite solo to play.

This article in English has it right: https://en.schott-music.com/shop/pavane-pour-une-infante-defunte-no232623.html

Actually, in French (the original language, and the original title) it's "Pavane pour une Infante Défunte" which almost sounds like a poem in 5 words because of the alliterations and the repetition of consonants (especially the "v"). The piece has nothing to do with a deceased princess though allegedly it would have to do with a certain Princesse de Polignac... whom Ravel never knew.The English Wikipedia article doesn't mention this, but the French version does: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavane_pour_une_infante_d%C3%A9funteThis article in English has it right: https://en.schott-music.com/shop/pavane-pour-une-infante-defunte-no232623.html

Kousei would not play this shitKaori is not a princess, she is a star

Favourite piece ever

Awesome is too puny a word to describe this composition and this rendering

Pavane for an Infant in Default

PLAYED THIS AT MY MOTHER'S WAKE.

Reminds me of all the love I have lost, all the opportunities I have let slip by, and yet all the beauty that still awaits me as well as the darkness.

Ddi they play this at Di's funeral? I mix it up with that Faun thingyo

Sounds like Carlitos way song

The gentle rain is more beautiful while listening to....

scenic and beautiful

Паван для мёртвой принсесы.

Found this due to Soundcloud comments on Nujabes Aruarian Dance and im glad I checked out the link :D

The beauty of being brought up in a working class home is there is so much I have yet to discover, I always had a feeling for classical music though, school was a great start and I discovered that I already knew and loved some classical music from school, Joy from"The Planets" was my first discovery because I found I had been listening {and even singing it } as "I vow to thee my Country" for years. I later found that Holst was asked to write a hyme but was so worn out he just couldnt do it and it was his daughter that said why didnt he use part of "Joy" as the hyme and so it was. Since then I discovered some wonderful music and a great love of opera too, especially Puccini

La primera vez que escuche un fragmento de ésta composición fue en la pelicula de Batman, el caballero de la noche asciende. La escena en que Bruce baila con Gatubela y me encantó.

AMAZING............people will still listen to this in 500 years......

I am crying

I’m a big fan of classic music but didn’t had my particular taste....But Rabel is so amazing. His music is like seeing Monet in a museum with a sea-view.

Too much pain an saddnes. This makes really sense. The best thing i ever saw for love

I love the breathiness of the lower strings as a new phrase enters. Or maybe the conductor is grunting like a jazz musician?!

The image captures the mood so well

there's a lot of emotional dads in this comment section and it makes my heart warm

me: the title is so beautiful and totally bring out all my imagination to the pieceRavel: wtv the title has nothing to do with the composition, i just like sound of those words lolme:

Thank you for the upload but it's a real shame that the painting is not in some ultra HD resolution as it deserves to be.

Got my composers mixed meant Debussy’s Trois Nocturnes. It’ too late. Time to sleep.

If you like this also try Ravel’s Trois Nocturnes or his spectacular Daphnis et Chloe. Either works wonders if you need music to day dream by or just to relax to as I will soon do after writing this tonight. ciao.

3:40 I was expecting the Shrek theme to begin while hearing these notes

it all makes sense now...

At 3:40, Ravel's musical road diverges, the diverged road leads into the realm of Shrek, but he chooses to stick with his pavane.

que bella melodía.. muy reflexiva

Sorry sent dislike message in error twice. Absolutely love this music. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏

Arnt they all, dead that is, Only now its the little miss princess thats left

Is the oboe a little flat or is it my ears?

I wish I could tell. Ur ears must be really fine-tuned.

Fantastic !!1 Dear !!!

Exquisite

listening in the dark during a thunderstorm while depressed as fuck about this grim point in my life, and my bleak future, or lack thereof

u can ride it out my man... i believe in you, and remember no one can predict the future so don't be so sure that yours will turn out bleak.

@immaSHRIMP thanks dude, appreciate it

who all came here after watching the dark knight rises

Hoi Nicole

this is some good shit right here

Who's here after watching the Ball scene from the Dark Knight Rises?

I hear a lot of Ghibli in this

0:33 I almost listen to Aruarian dance in this part

I never listened to this while my grandma was alive. She died only a month ago. She was a princess. I treated my own grandmother wrong. This song is for her.

I have always treasured this since I was a young pup in the early 1950's.

Did you know this song would cause a chain of inspiration, with the most recent example being Nujabes's Aruarian Dance?

It sounds pretty similar to Respighi! I love it!

NPR played this after reporting the news that Princess Diana had died, such a sad moment.

Glad I didn't hear it at the time. It would have devastated me.

This classical music piece is perfect for bedtime and traveling using your imagination.

Your lie in april.

love this

Anyone knows the story behind the title?

Sound like "the bygone days" from porco rosso to anyone else?

For those looking for something similar to this joe hisaishi has a similar style

Takashi Yoshimatsu as well

Ravel, Debussy, Satie, Fauré, l'école française dans sa beauté et subtilité, souffle délicat de "luxe, calme et volupté"

This reminds me of Rurouni Kenshin Trust and betrayal or something like that 😌

il y a des instants de beaute de melancolie apaisants en ecoutant cette merveilleuse pavane dans ce monde brutal tellement necessaires

The first 10 seconds reminds me of another piece I don't know the name to. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

3:40, I find it intriguing that the melody here is vaguely mimicking that of 'Dies Irae'. After all, Dies Irae is otherwise known as the melody of Death.. Fitting for a piece like this.

I swear this was featured in the third? Harry Potter movie! It sounds so similar to some of the score

This song helped me in 1999 when I was away , such wisdom I thank you Mozart

But.....it was written by Ravel, at a time when Mozart was long dead.

Oh ok it was on a tape cassettes that I was informed in was he this is very interesting

Calming, sad and sensual at the same time

I got to play first horn for this in my college orchestra one semester. It is still one of my very favorite pieces ever.

This was so magical to listen to. Where has Ravel's music been all my life? 💫

https://youtu.be/4fvx551LxAg

I think about Anastasia Romanov.

Sublime

Such a beautiful piece! In my orchestra I'm playing the 2nd french horn part on a trombone and it's so difficult to get the sound right, but when I do it's so pretty :)

ağlamadan dinleyemiyorum:(

Please. Play this at my funeral.. ♡

Are you only a princess ? One day in Arles the baker girl said to my daughter 'for you my nice princess !" And Eléonore said "eh mum, the lady knows me !" :°

@Laurent Lapinte Lestang of course yes. My dad never lied to me (u.u)

Some points from the programme for "CONCERT MUSIQUE AU MUSEE 2004 - Andrew Russo".Ravel said of the piece [nb it's not a "song"]: "Ce n'est pas la déploration funèbre d'une infante qui vient de mourir mais bien l'évocation d'une pavane qu'aurait pu danser telle petite princesse, jadis, à la cour d'Espagne." (Marnat , 1986). [Marnat: did the Ravel catalogue]Basically: It's not a funereal dirge for an infanta [Spanish princess, nb not "enfant", child] who has just died but the evocation of a pavane which such a princess might have danced, at that time, at the Spanish court.Piece dedicated to Winnaretta Singer, the princess Edmond de Polignac, one of the Singer sewing machine family; she died 1943, the piece is 1899, so she's not the "dead princess." [what follows tl;dr, I know, my own input]So what is the significance of "pour une" [for a]? --not pavane danced by, but written or danced on behalf of? (OK I take the point that Spanish "por" is tricky to translate, into French or English, but even if a Spanish infanta is evoked it's a French title, of course.) Even if Ravel says it's not a threnody, the funereal dance aspect surely comes through here? But I think one line of reasoning might go something like this: Ravel offers his "pavane" (musical composition, ground-breaking in the period, maybe not recognisable or danceable by 17th century Paduans, or even infantas of the 17th century) to a living princess (Singer/Polignac). He wants her to have something the critics would like (apparently it didn't work out that way, although of course the public loves it). She's helping pay his bills, she's hardly his Venus (or Edmond's for that matter) but she is his Maecenas (probably misspelled, Virgil's patron). But he's also projecting himself back to the 17th century (cp. Velazquez): what kind of pavane would a then-living infanta dance to in a melancholy mood (cp. Burton's c. 1630s Anatomy of Melancholy, melancholia can be good)? Of course, such a "real" infanta, ie a historical one, would be long-dead ("defunct") by 1899. So: "pour une": in his imagination, offered to a real infanta by a real composer in say 1670, but also, in reality, a work offered to another real princess in 1899, but to listen to, rather than to dance to.Oh, and since this comment is already VERY long: "se pavaner" in French means essentially to "strut about." I get the impression of a peacock, which in French is "paon". [You can replace the "o" with "wa" to get the verb, ie pa-wa-aner", and the noun follows , or vice versa] Adds a touch, maybe. OK, so it's supposed to be a dance from Padua, but maybe Ravel (French, not Italian) got his roots somehow twisted?

This is what they should have played at Lady Diana’s funeral.

Hate to critique such a wonderful piece of work but this version ( like most orchestral renditions of this piece ) do this piece such an injustice. The original piece for piano written by Ravel is not mournful or sad - Ravel never really wrote a sad piece in his life - it is reflective certainly but it maintain’s the Ravelian warmth everyone adores so dearly. The way this piece is performed makes it seem like a dead pavane for a princess as opposed to a pavane for a dead princess ( which itself is a nothing title as Ravel himself he simply enjoyed the phrase “infante defunte” ). This piece is supposed to be just as full of life as any other piece of Ravel - just with a sombre undertone. Those who butcher this piece are very lucky that it is impossible to make Ravel sound truly awful.

TomCL 2000 no hate but such a beautiful piece sounds pretty soothing when it’s more sad

Tallwhalebob Gaming I beg that you listen to a version closer to the original. Of course it is all subjective, but this piece was written to sound a certain way and this performance doesn’t do that.

TomCL 2000 I actually like both and in my opinion I kinda like the sad version better but that’s our different opinions 🤷‍♀️

Source to the original?

theLoveRocketjr https://youtu.be/oPHSHZssOLs this the performance closest to the original tempo on YouTube.

Came here after I watch Mr. Brain (jdrama),i really like this version. Although in the drama it is piano version..

She is gone nowThe people dancenot for the life lostbut the life foundSmooth steps on blank stoneAll but the princewho mourns alone

If only they knew what life it would bring.

Divine poetry!

Maurice's music is incredibly rich and colourful.

Can this masterpiece save and heal the darkness and suffering of people,s mind ？ I don't know . However , this masterpiece quietly penetrates my heart .From Tokyo in Japan Which national are you watching this video ？

It can, definitely.Just this moment it does for me.

si émouvant j'adore Ravel et Debussy et Mahler ce tableau est magnifique merci .

I think what makes this particular performance so good is that it is the "dream of olden days" that Ravel intended when writing this piece, instead of being a sad song. It is true that this version brings a sort of debussy-esque feeling to it, which to my eyes is an immense compliment.

3:10... part b of Impressions by saxophonist John Coltrane

Porcco Rosso with the rip off

Rest in peace, Naomi

La princesse est morte, vive la Reine... 💕

No actual princesses were harmed in the making of this pavane.

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Maurice Ravel was a French composer, the original name was : « Pavane pour une infante défunte. »

@herve30able1 Refering to the nobiliary title, not to an infant.

don't be so sure Clifford

Hilarious
