Fiumicello che con l’onda | Carlo Eustachio | NOI - Maikki Säikkä, soprano & Tuomas Kourula, theorbo
Fiumicello che con l’onda is a cantata by an almost unknown Italian composer, Carlo Eustachio. Such is the wealth of wonderful music from seicento Italy that even composing a masterpiece like "Fiumicello" doesn't get you mentioned anywhere. Fortunately the song survived in manuscript and is now gradually gaining favour. We were glad to add our contribution!
The somewhat mysterious text, also by Eustachio, is sung to a little river, flowing to and dissolving into the sea - we knew we had to use this evocative image in our video! Maikki took the brave plunge and ended up so far from the shoreline that the situation started to look a bit alarming. She survived, even if the video seems to suggest otherwise.

Paul McCartney has said that there's a song by Sting that he would have liked to have written: Fields of Gold. Some of McCartney's songs, like Yesterday or Let It Be, almost feel like the song has existed for ever as an archetype, and the composer has only been a medium through which it came to be known to the rest of us. Fields of Gold is in the same timeless category, and so a very suitable p...

"Une jeune fillette" is a traditional ballad, originally from Italy, where it is usually known as La Monica. The song became popular in the renaissance and spread throughout Europe, being sung in many languages and in many variations: Une Jeune Pucelle is another variant. The story is a sad and touching one - a young girl is forced to join a convent and become a nun against her will and despite...
J.S Bach: Prelude from the 1st Cello suite in G major | Tuomas Kourula, theorbo
มุมมอง 6095 หลายเดือนก่อน
Johann Sebastian Bach's Prelude in G major is probably the most frequently heard piece for solo cello. It is familiar to many, often from film soundtracks, for example Master and Commander - and many others. It is not so familiar played on the theorbo, however. On theorbo the piece retains most of the depth of sound, but in a different color and guise, and I feel it also gains something not pre...
The most beautiful mélodie by Reynaldo Hahn: "À Chloris" | NOI ensemble

"À Chloris" is one of the most famous mélodies of Reynaldo Hahn (1874-1947). He was born in Venezuela, but lived and worked in France. He had a great talent especially for melodies, as witnessed by this song. The instrumental intro alone is remarkable in how it can use only stepwise movement and still feel totally free-flowing and hypnotically expressive. In this song, there is a blissful feeli...

Si ascendero | Anneliina Rif, soprano & recorder
มุมมอง 39411 หลายเดือนก่อน
This Mozarabic chant probably from the 7th century Spain features Psalm 138:8 according to Biblia Sacra Vulgata "Si ascendero in cælum, tu illic (ibi) es ; si descendero in infernum, ades". The writer gives it a personal flavour by adding a line "Mitte manum tuam Domine, libera me ex inferno inferiore," thus building a scene where the singer is in the lowest hell, but still trusting in God to r...

"Spera, mi disse amore" is a unusual song, full of sudden twists and dramatic changes - it surpises us at every turn. Because of the madrigal's mercurial character, it is especially successful at following the poet's passion and expressing the full effect of the words. What a joy it is to performs music like this! Making a video was a more involved process this time: first, we recorded and shot...

Lionheart! With a nickname like that, it seems you would hardly need any other claim to fame, such is the power of that honorific title to evoke awe. But Richard I, king of England at the end of the 12th century, is a legendary character for others reasons as well. A particular event in his life gave rise to the idiom "king's ransom", still in use today over 800 years later. The same incident a...

John Dowland has several songs that would alone guarantee him a place among the greats. "Come, heavy sleep" from his First Booke of Songes or Ayres (1597) is certainly one of them. English composers were masters of combining memorable, naturally balanced melodies with expressive and at times daring harmonies - a trait which is very much in evidence here. But even so, we feel that here Dowland a...

Thank you for taking the time to comment!
🩵 And the last frame brought the tears - that I had been holding back - to my eyes 🩵 I love you, my fellow NOI.
What a marvelous piece of music by a great composer I did not know about! First thing I absolutely need to say is, after a while since the last time I listened to her: Maikki is utterly magnificent in this. Tremendous breath control, impressive “singing line” - I don’t know if that’s a thing in English? - and delightful dynamics. Stunning. Of course, it all would be meaningless were it not for her honesty and humaneness of both feeling and voice. Tuomas is elegant, stern, and grave, which we are already used to; the sound of his lute is like a clock signaling the time passing by, with its dark and earthy twang adding the much needed richness and weight to the harmony. Simply wonderful, in the unpretending and authentic way I know and love! The video itself also deserves a special mention, as well as the snippets of knowledge you drop on the description box. It makes sense that Maikki is the river that goes to die to the sea. In any case, it’s comforting to know that no Maikkis were damaged in the making of this video 😛! A warm hug from Spain 🥰.
Thank you - once again, your guiding insight cuts right to the heart of the matter! The theorbo player himself also thinks that maybe a little less gravity and weight might suffice, and theorbo’s characteristic darkness could benefit from some whimsy and playfulness ;) something to aim for in the future. And your description of Maikki’s singing is wonderful!
@@TurkuEarlyMusic It is of course a matter of personal taste. I love the dark and weighty aspect of certain string instruments, especially in the deeper end of their tessitura; they feel like an ancient tree sinking their roots into the earth, a very powerful and primal sensation which, in my opinion, suits this piece and its tone very well. At any rate, I think this music is very well written, and the composer certainly knew how certain specific notes would sound and the feelings they would evoke. As for Tuomas, he has already proven how the theorbo can also sound fun, joyful, and even silly sometimes. I wholeheartedly trust his musical taste, and I very much look forward to listening to any new experiment he is willing to indulge in 😃.
Hola Francesc! Yep, no damage done, quite contrary; this was probably the most pleasent shoot ever. I mean actually, what would be better than plunge into a warm sea swell?! 🥰 And thank You again from your overwhelming words. But you know, about the theorbo here, it is actually like the sea current, isn’t it? So, singing on the bass line in this song is like floating on a current - everything is so easy and comfortable, if you just keep following the current 🥰🎶 This really is so well written; a masterpiece, and one of my all time favourites. A warm hug from the shores of the Baltic sea to Spain!
@@maikkisaikka4099 I completely agree with you. It is sometimes hard to find the right words without ranting and ending up writing a whole essay, but I especially love your analogy with the sea, since it’s a very powerful figure to me, personally. I have come to feel that voice and instrument influence each other, actually transforming their own sound to incorporate aspects of the other. A voice without a context might sound beautiful by its own merits, but it may be sometimes akin to a question without an answer. I have the impression that the theorbo here is grounding and supportive of your voice, in a way; not only as a takeoff runway of sorts, from where you can open your wings and fly, but also shining a light over you, under which you effectively change your appearance, revealing a different perspective which would not have been seen without said light. And the same applies the other way. Also, the contrast between both timbres all but accentuate their individual beauty, making them more understandable in the context of this music. I don’t know if anything I just wrote made any sense - it does to me 🤣. Best wishes to the both of you!
Wau! Upea! Ihana!
Kiitos!

Yet another splendid addition to your Stingology! It’s dumbfounding how you always manage to add your personal spin to such well-known works, making them your own, very different to the original versions and not in the least ‘lesser’ or ‘worse’ - as subjective as those words might be. This rendition of Fields of Gold sounds very serene and melancholic, with a somewhat mysterious undertone which was not present in the original. This is why I appreciate your covers so much: you always have interesting ideas to contribute with, adding nuance and perspective to already great compositions. Also, you outdo yourselves time and time again on the visual aspect, too. This video in particular looks so cinematic, evocative, and soothing, with a nostalgic aura that makes me feel like crying - and that’s just another point, you never fail to hit that raw, emotional spot. And I apologise in advance, but I just need to say you both look beautiful and radiant in this. You are just so pure and endearing as always <3. Thank you again for this precious gift - a little sneak-peek into your minds and souls. Big hugs!
Exactly! The song is so well known, perhaps too well - that is what made us steer clear of this until now... But in the end it really is a great song, and we felt we could make a version that communicates other aspects of it than Sting's original, in a worthwhile way. Thank you for commenting, your words help to dissuade any lingering doubt. And the visuals somehow came together serendipitously: we've been having an unusual, dare I say almost Spanish late summer, with lots of sunshine and warm weather - which can be seen in these images, we hope.
@@TurkuEarlyMusic It doesn’t surprise me at all that you decided to keep your distance from this piece, since comparisons are unavoidable and often quite harsh. It also shows your respect towards the original and a deep understanding of the challenges of trying to cover it. Rest assured, you succeeded at creating a version which is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also musically relevant and non-redundant. The visuals are stunning as they always are, no matter the weather or the subject; beauty is in the eye of the beholder - or their camera and editing skills. Also, in regards to the “Spanish late summer” weather, bear in mind that it’s not the same everywhere in Spain. Here in San Sebastián (Northern Spain) it’s been raining a lot and the sky seems perpetually hidden by a cloak of clouds. I love it ^^; I’m more of a chilly, cloudy, foggy, rainy weather guy myself, but I truly appreciate golden afternoons nonetheless. From time to time XD. Thank you for everything. It’s always such a joy to watch, listen to, and read you. Seuraavaan kertaan asti!
