Right now these amazing moments make me shrug my shoulders with pity. The way art is improving, I don't know where it'll end up. So while we're waiting, let's have another drink." RIGHT NOW THESE AMAZING MOMENTS MAKE ME SHRUG MY SHOULDERS WITH PITY THE WAIARD IS IMPROVING I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO LEND UP SO WHILE WE'RE WAITING LET'S HAVE ANOTHER DRINK
thy of serving as a model for a composer, should have recognized two things: first, that the syllables, long or short, have no fixed length, nor even a set relationship between their lengths and, second, that passion uses prosody almost as it likes--it can work across the greatest intervals. A man who cries out in the depths of his grief, 'Ah, what an unhappy creature I am,' lifts the opening syllable of exclamation to the highest and shrillest note and brings the others down to the most solemn and low notes, going through the octave or an even greater interval, giving to each sound the quantity which suits the turn of the melody, without offending the ear, and without either the long or the short syllables maintaining the length or brevity of normal speech. How far we've come since the time when we used to point to the parenthetical comments in Armide --"The conqueror of Renaud, if anyone can be"--or "Obey, don't hesitate" from Indes galantes--as amazing moments of musical expression! HAT ITS ENERGY MADE IT WORTHY OF SERVING AS A MODEL FOR A COMPOSER SHOULD HAVE RECOGNIZED TWO THINGS FIRST THAT THE SYLLABLES LONG OR SHORT HAVE NO FIXED LENGTH NOT EVEN A SET RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEIR LENGTHS AND SECOND THAT PASSION USES PROSODY ALMOST AS IT LIKES IT CAN WORK ACROSS THE GREATEST INTERVALS A MAN WHO CRIES OUT IN THE DEPTHS OF HIS GRIEF AH WHAT AN UNHAPPY CREATURE I AM LIFTS THE OPENING SYLLABLE OF EXCLAMATION TO THE HIGHEST AND SHRILLEST NOTE AND BRINGS THE OTHERS DOWN TO THE MOST SOLEMN AND LOW NOTES GOING THROUGH THE ACTIVE OR AN EVEN GREATER INTERVAL GIVING TO EACH SOUND THE QUANTITY WHICH SUITS THE TURN OF THE MELODY WITHOUT OFFENDING THE EAR AND WITHOUT EITHER THE LONG OR THE SHORT SYLLABLES MAINTAINING THE LENGTH OR BREVITY OF NORMAL SPEECH HOW FAR WE'VE COME SINCE THE TIME WHEN WE USED TO POINT TO THE PARENTHETICAL COMMENTS IN OUR MIDDAY THE CONQUEROR OF REYNARD IF ANY ONE CAN BE OR OBEY DON'T HESITATE FROM INDE GALLANT HAS AMAZING MOMENTS OF MUSICAL EXPRESSION
