The idea of pursuing a career as a musician came early and was supported by his parents: At the age of 13, Maurice Ravel receives lessons at a private music school and studies immediately afterwards. There is little motivation left when Ravel fails his intermediate exam and has to leave the master class right away. Nevertheless, one work in particular composed by Ravel, the “Boléro”, is one of the best known and most frequently played pieces of music in the world. Ravel not only works on the Boléro with the greatest care and attention to detail, he often takes a long time to complete his works – due to the complexity and accuracy of his works, he is also called the “Swiss watchmaker” among composers. Regarding his orchestral work “Boléro” – eponymous with the dance genre – Maurice Ravel commented one day: “My masterpiece? The Boléro, of course. It’s just a pity that it contains no music at all”. Beginning with the probably best-known, always constant (ostinato) rhythm, the snare drum opens the piece in pianissimo. It accompanies the two 16-bar melodies (melody A and B) throughout, which are repeated eighteen times – first solo, then by several registers in unison. They occur in the form AA BB until the last two repetitions. In the climax of the climax, A and B follow each other “undoubled”. The melodies are varied only in the shaping of the instrumentation – and thus the timbre – resulting in a majestic crescendo until the end of the boléro.WDR Klassik

Lyrics
I wanna make Something beautiful For you and from you To show you To show you I adore you Oh you
And your journey Towards me Which I see And I see All you push through Mad for you And because of you
I couldn’t thank you in ten thousand years If I cried ten thousand rivers of tears Ah, but you know the soul And you know what makes it gold You give life through blood Blood, blood Blood, blood Oh, blood, blood
Oh I wanna make something so lovely for you ‘Cause I promised that’s what I’d do for you With the Bible, I stole I know you forgave my soul because Such was my need on a chronic Christmas Eve And I think we’re agreed That it should have been free And you sang to me
They dress the wounds of my poor people As though they’re nothing Saying, “Peace, peace” When there’s no peace They dress the wounds of my poor people As though they’re nothing Saying, “Peace, peace, peace” When there’s no peace
Days without number Now can a bride forget her jewels? Or a maid her ornaments? Yet, my people forgotten me
Days without number Days without number And in their want Who’ll dress their wounds? Who’ll dress their wounds?
Lyrics: Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side, The summer’s gone and all the roses falling, It’s you, it’s you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow, Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow, It’s I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow, Oh, Danny Boy, oh Danny boy I love you so! But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying, If I am dead, as dead I may well be Ye’ll come and find the place where I am lying, And kneel and say an Ave there for me; And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me, And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be, For you will bend and tell me that you love me, And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!
Last night as I lay dreamin’ Of pleasant days gone by Me mind bein’ bent on rambling To Ireland I did fly I stepped on board a vision and I followed with the wind Till first I came to anchor at The cross at Spancil Hill
It being the 23rd of June The day before the fair Where Ireland’s sons and daughters And friends assembled there The young, the old The brave and the bold came Their duty to fulfill At the parish church near Clooney A mile from Spancil Hill
I went to see my neighbours to See what they might say The old ones were all dead and gone The young ones turning grey I met the tailor Quigley He’s as bold as ever still He used to mend my britches when I lived in Spancil Hill
I took a flying visit to my one and only love She’s as white as any lily As gentle as a dove She threw her arms around Me, saying “Johnny, i love you still” She is Nell, the farmer’s daughter The pride of Spancil Hill
I dreamt I held and kissed her As in the days of old Saying, “Johnny, you’re only joking As many’s the time before” But the cock, he crew in the morning He crew both loud and shrill I awoke in California Many miles from Spancil Hill

Beautiful child Beautiful child You are a beautiful child And I am a fool once more
You fell in love when I was only ten The years disappeared Much has gone by since then I bite my lip, can you send me away? You touch, I have no choice (ooh, ooh) I have to stay (ooh) Ooh, I had to stay Ooh, I had to stay
Sleepless child There is so little time Your eyes say yes But you don’t say yes Well I wish that you were mine I wish that you were mine
You say it will be harder in the morning I wait for you to say, just go Your hands held mine so few hours (I fell into love) But I’m not a child anymore
I’m not a child anymore I’m tall enough to reach for the stars I’m old enough to love you from afar Too trusting? Yes But then women usually are
I’m not a child anymore I’m not a child, oh no (I’m tall enough to reach for the stars) I will do as I’m told (I’m old enough to love you from afar) Even if I never hold you again (too trusting? Yes, but then women usually are) Hold you again (hold you again)
Sleepless child There is so little time (I will do as I am told) Your eyes say yes, but you don’t say yes (Even if I never hold you again) I wish that you were mine (hold you again) I wish that you were mine (even if I never hold you again) Well I wish that you were mine (hold you again) Well I wish that you were mine
Tough You think you’ve got the stuff You’re telling me and anyone You’re hard enough
You don’t have to put up a fight You don’t have to always be right Let me take some of the punches For you tonight
Listen to me now I need to let you know You don’t have to go it alone
And it’s you when I look in the mirror And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
We fight all the time You and I, that’s alright We’re the same soul don’t need, I don’t need to hear you say That if we weren’t so alike You’d like me a whole lot more
Listen to me now I need to let you know You don’t have to go it alone
And it’s you when I look in the mirror And it’s you when I don’t pick up the phone Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
I know that we don’t talk I’m sick of it all Can you hear me when I sing? You’re the reason I sing You’re the reason why the opera is in me
Hey now Still got to let you know A house doesn’t make a home Don’t leave me here alone
And it’s you when I look in the mirror And it’s you that makes it hard to let go Sometimes you can’t make it on your own Sometimes you can’t make it Best you can do, is to fake it Sometimes you can’t make it on your own
