⏩ Raymond Lefevre - Ave Maria (Caccini) 

WIKIPEDIA: Raymond lefèvre (FR. Raymond Lefèvre; 20 November 1929 — 27 June 2008) was a French composer, arranger and conductor. He wrote light instrumental music, the author of soundtracks for films, acted as an accompanist on the records of a number of singers in France.

BIOGRAPHY: on 27 June, arranger, conductor and composer Raymond Lefebvre died in Paris after an illness at the age of 78. Since the early 1960s, he has been a colleague and friend of Paul Moria, when they worked together as arrangers and conductors at Eddie Barclay's Studio. Lefebvre accompanied various singers, of which the most Dalide since the beginning of her career. He recorded music for several film comedies with Louis de Funes. His music is heard in all series of the famous Comedy series about the adventures of the French gendarmes, which was filmed from 1964 to 1982. Thus Lefebvre went down in history as the only composer who worked on such a long project. 

Since the mid-1960s, he was a conductor in the popular song contest television and in 1966 took up his own musical career and becomes R. Lefevre shortening the name by one letter. From this moment on, and within 30 years he recorded popular tunes. Since the 1980s, his son Michel, also a conductor and composer, helped him in his work. After the Field Moriah in the same 1968, Lefebvre came to prominence in the US with his cover version of Michel Polnareff "Ame caline" (Soul coaxing). Since that time, it has come to international fame. In 1972. his orchestra was first invited to Japan, where he toured until recently. 

In 1995, as a flutist, Lefebvre took part in the recording of a Quartet with a unique composition, which in addition to himself were Paul Moria (piano), Frank Purcell (violin) and Francis Ley (accordion). The four of them recorded a melody-Requiem "Quartet for Kobe" in memory of the victims of a major earthquake in Japan

Frederic Chopin - Waltz Rain

Dmitri Shostakovich - The Second Waltz - His music and his life

Dmitri Shostakovich (1906–1975) was a Russian composer and pianist and was one of the most celebrated composers of the 20th century.

Life and Music 

Despite Shostakovich's exceptional talent, it was not until he was nine that he received his first formal piano lessons from his mother, a professional pianist. 

In 1919, composer Alexander Glazunov considered the young Shostakovich ready to begin his studies at the Petrograd Conservatory, where he was director. 

The 19-year-old Shostakovich produced a First Symphony that is an astonishing act of creative prodigy. 

In 1936, Stalin attended a performance of Shostakovich's operatic grotesquerie, Lady Macbeth of the Mtensk District. Dismayed by its lack of positivist flag-saving, the state newspaper, Pravda, slated this "bedlam of noise". 

With the gun of the Soviet regime pointed at his head - and Stalin's finger effectively on the trigger - Shostakovich knew he had to produce a surefire winner. 

The Fifth Symphony, with its universal message of triumph achieved out of adversity, was exactly what the State wanted, and it made him a public hero. 

In 1948, several composers, including Shostakovich and Prokofiev, were hauled over the coals by Pravda for "decadent formalism". 

In 1953 Shostakovich also composed his masterly Tenth Symphony, written - although no one was aware of it at the time - as a reaction against the Stalinist regime, and in the case of the vitriolic Scherzo, a sardonic portrait of Stalin. 

The constant psychological torture had taken its toll, and it seems that in 1960, following the completion of his Eighth String Quartet, Shostakovich contemplated suicide. In 1966 he suffered a heart attack from which he never fully recovered, and which hastened a preoccupation with death which is tangibly realised in his angst-ridden Fourteenth Symphony. 

Shostakovich died a broken man. 

Did you know? 

One of Shostakovich's songs was sung by the cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin over the radio from his spacecraft to Mission Control down on earth.

Frank Sinatra - My Way (Live At Madison Square Garden, New York City / 1...

HIT-STORY: ‘My Way’ by Frank Sinatra

Published August 24, 2022, 2:22 PM

by Robert Requintina, Manila Bulletin

Released in March 1969, singer Paul Anka wrote the hit ballad “My Way” with crooner Frank Sinatra on his mind.

In 1968, Frank hinted to Paul that he was ready to bid showbiz goodbye.

“Kid, I’m fed up. I’m gonna do one more album, and then I’m out of here. You never wrote me that song you always promised. Don’t take too long,” said Frank, 51, to Paul, then 25, in a book entitled “The Life of A Song.”

One sleepless night, Paul sat down at a piano and sensed himself becoming Frank.

“That’s how I got the first line: ‘And now the end is near, and so I face the final curtain’ I thought of him leaving the stage, the lights going out, and started typing like a madman, writing it just the way he talked: “Ate it up…spit it out.”

Paul finished writing the song at 5 a.m. He immediately called Frank to inform him about the song. “When I played the song for him, he said: “That’s kooky, kid. We’re going in.”

These days, “My Way” is still also one of the favorite karaoke songs around the world.

In the Philippines, at least 12 people were shot dead following altercations over the song from 2002 and 2012, according to the book.

In 2016, the UK’s Co-op funeral company revealed that “My Way” is now UK’s most popular choice of funeral song.

Frank passed away on May 14, 1998. He was 82. But “My Way” was never played at his funeral.

The complete lyrics to the song “My Way”:

“My Way”

And now, the end is near

And so I face the final curtain

My friend, I’ll say it clear

I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain

I’ve lived a life that’s full

I traveled each and every highway

And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Regrets, I’ve had a few

But then again, too few to mention

I did what I had to do

And saw it through without exemption

I planned each charted course

Each careful step along the byway

And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew

When I bit off more than I could chew

But through it all, when there was doubt

I ate it up and spit it out

I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried

I’ve had my fill, my share of losing

And now, as tears subside

I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that

And may I say, not in a shy way

Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got?

If not himself, then he has naught

To say the things he truly feels

And not the words of one who kneels

The record shows

I took the blows

And did it my way

Yes, it was my way.
