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

Baby I know that we’ve got trouble in the fields When the bankers swarm like locust out there turning away our yield The trains roll by our silos, silver in the rain They leave our pockets full of nothing But our dreams and the golden grain
Have you seen the folks in line downtown at the station They’re all buying their ticket out and talking the great depression Our parents had their hard times fifty years ago When they stood out in these empty fields in dust as deep as snow
And all this trouble in our fields If this rain can fall, these wounds can heal They’ll never take our native soil But if we sell that new John Deere And then we’ll work these crops with sweat and tears You’ll be the mule I’ll be the plow Come harvest time we’ll work it out There’s still a lot of love, here in these troubled fields
There’s a book up on the shelf about the dust bowl days And there’s a little bit of you and a little bit of me In the photos on every page Now our children live in the city and they rest upon our shoulders They never want the rain to fall or the weather to get colder
And all this trouble in our fields If this rain can fall, these wounds can heal They’ll never take our native soil But if we sell that new John Deere And then we’ll work these crops with sweat and tears You’ll be the mule I’ll be the plow Come harvest time we’ll work it out There’s still a lot of love, here in these troubled fields
You’ll be the mule I’ll be the plow Come harvest time we’ll work it out There’s still a lot of love, here in these troubled fields

I lost myself on a cool damp night I gave myself in that misty light Was hypnotized by a strange delight Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree Put my heart in its recipe It makes me see what I want to see And be what I want to be
When I think more than I want to think I do things I never should do I drink much more that I ought to drink Because it brings me back you
Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love Listen to me, I cannot see clearly Isn’t that she, coming to me nearly here?
Lilac wine is sweet and heady where’s my love? Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where’s my love? Listen to me, why is everything so hazy? Isn’t that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?
Lilac wine, I feel unready for my love Feel unready for my love
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I’m begging of you please don’t take my man Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don’t take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare With flaming locks of auburn hair With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green Your smile is like a breath of spring Your voice is soft like summer rain And I cannot compete with you Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep And there’s nothing I can do to keep From crying when he calls your name Jolene
And I can easily understand How you could easily take my man But you don’t know what he means to me Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I’m begging of you please don’t take my man Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don’t take him just because you can
You could have your choice of men But I could never love again He’s the only one for me Jolene
I had to have this talk with you My happiness depends on you And whatever you decide to do Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene I’m begging of you please don’t take my man Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene Please don’t take him even though you can Jolene, Jolene
Oscar award’s nomination, I think it’s the best one in all of the others.
Lyrics
Sing to me softly your tales of woe I’ll cradle you closely, I won’t let go I’ll speak to you gently of what I know Don’t you cry
Lay your head down, darling The moon is sailing by The stars are softly shining The tide is full and high
We’ll fly to the edge, not as distant as it seems And maybe we’ll find out the key to your dreams So you just lay your head down, darling Sleep now, la-la-la-la-la
Winds blow, rains fall But it’s warm by the fire’s light Hush, don’t you see you’re here with me? And there’s dawn at the end of the night
Lay your head down, darling The moon is sailing by The stars are softly shining The tide is full and high
We’ll fly to the edge, not as distant as it seems And maybe we’ll find out the key to your dreams So you just lay your head down, darling Sleep now, la-la-la-la-la
Well I didn’t see much future When I left the Christian brothers school So I waved it goodbye with a wistful smile And I left the girls of Tuam And sometimes when I’m reminiscing I see the prefabs and my old friends And I know that they’ll be changed or gone By the time I get home again
And I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Yes I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
Well the ould fella left me to Shannon Was the last time I travelled that road and as I turned left at Claregalway I could feel a lump in my throat As I pictured the thousands of times That I travelled that well worn track And I know that things would be different If I ever decide to go back
And I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Yes I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
Now as I tumble down highways Or filthy overcrowded trains There’s no one to talk to in transit So I sit there and daydream in vain And behind all these muddled up problems Of living on a foreign soil I can still see the twists and turns on the road From the square to the town of the tribes
And I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Yes I wish I was on that N 17 (Stone walls and the grasses green) Travelling with just my thoughts and dreams
