Beautiful visual illustrations of music

[Ouled Nails]

chip in! There's so much imagination in combining visual art with music! Who comes to mind, here, first and foremost?!!!

 

[Corno Dolce]

I see the Tango accompanied by the music of Astor Piazzolla - something my gal and I will be performing later on this evening with some friends of ours at a private party.

 

[Ouled Nails]

Perfect answer!!!!
Take a shot at it, my dear sir. I can thing of dozens of gorgeous CD covers that fit the music like hand in glove. Hypérion, perhaps?

 

[Corno Dolce]

Here's something:

The canvas illustrates my favorite organ composer after JSBach, namely, Charles Arnauld Tournemire sitting at the organ console of Ste. Clotilde in Paris. The canvas comes from a collection of 51 triptychs entitled "The Mystic Image Cycle" by Tom M. Walker - here's a link:

Enjoy!

I like Tournemire, too, but why not make this exercise into a stimulating game by withholding the answer for a moment, say, twenty-four hours?:grin: Obviously, the visual representation should be relatively explicit.
cheers

 

[Corno Dolce]

Woops! Sorry if I made a mistake - I certainly did not want to let the cat out of the bag too early

 

[Ouled Nails]

No mistake. We're merely negotiating the terms of ... who knows what?!! I see that you include French in your signature. How fluent are you in French?
BTW, it's still your turn.

 

[Corno Dolce]

How fluent in French am I? Just barely enough to save my neck and read the newspapers.

Still my turn? Yikes - Ummm, lets see now:

Hope this works.......

 

[Ouled Nails]

It's RELATIVELY explicit.:grin::grin::grin:
Boy, is this a shot in the dark or what?!
Sacrificial Lamb: "Desseins éternels" from La Nativité du Seigneur (Messiaen)

 

[Ouled Nails]

Fellow Magle-rites take a shot at this, because CD will be withholding his enigmatic answer for the next 23:35 hours.....

 

[methodistgirl]

The picture makes me think of Ginger Rodgers and Fred Astair dancing.

Ooh, what a fantastic idea, ON! :up:

Aw, my pc keeps timing out on the link CD posted. I'll have to check back later.

This should be great fun! :grin:

Edit- Ok, I've seen it, and that's a toughy. Obviously I'm not as well versed in organ works as you organists. So I'll agree with ON's answer. :grin:

 

[Corno Dolce]

Oh my goodness ON - Am I known for "enigmatic answers"? :crazy:

Heavens to Betsy.......What have I done?
If thats the case then I don't think that anyone on this forum will get the idea behind the picture that I posted.

Apropos "Sacrificial Lamb" - In Messiaen's "La Nativite Du Seigneur" there is a movement entitled "Jesus Accepte La Souffrance"(Jesus Accepts The Suffering) - Messiaen so perfectly captures the horror that will befall Christ.

 

[Contratrombone64]

Jesus Accepte La Souffrance needed translation??? Are you kidding!

 

[rojo]

Are we ready for CD's answer yet? I know I am. Plus I've got one I'd like to share...

 

[Corno Dolce]

Ok dear ones - this might be an anti-climactic moment for you:

The organ pictured is the one in Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and the various exposed pipes and their arrangement have been likened to "French-Fried Forest". I know its a REAL stretch of the imagination but since Disney has been known for its musico/film-matic/family fun fare, I felt it a challenge for MIMFers. Yeah, I know what you are now thinking: "What a horrible dud that Corno Dolce posted - he is a bit *touched* with lunacy.

Alright - how about this one then:

[alexiakl]

oh my god, this is amazing.. It looks like movies

 

[Corno Dolce]

Yep, it is amazing - The mad King Ludwig II died two years before this castle was completely finished.
