Composed before Rossini's eighteenth birthday, Sinfonia al Conventello (written for performance at "Il Conventello", the estate of his patron, Agostino Triossi) shows the young composer developing orchestral skills that would serve him throughout his life. In fact, Rossini actually reworked the first theme of the overture two years later for "La cambiale di matrimonio". The piece itself is unusual. The sinfonia develops completely in accordance with the Rossinian tradition, though the composer himself was still a good three years away from becoming a well-known artist: thus, we have the traditional andante leading to an allegro of two themes, repeated once; still, there are signs that Rossini was still perfecting his own idiom, as the opening andante, for example, seems undeveloped (a rather striking passage for solo cello at 0:06 notwithstanding), while the main themes (unusually, we have an ABBA structure, rather than the usual ABAB) are not as ideally connected with each other. But the allegro already points to the composer's bright future: the second theme, featuring evocative writing for the double bass includes a short but musically rich solo for the instrument, contrasting superbly with the more upbeat strings, while the final measures (I do not know if it was Marriner's or Rossini's decision to speed up the repeat of the phrase at 3:36 but it works well) seem to build up to an prototypical crescendo of great excitement (which does not properly emerge, though <b>...</b>

The Peninsular War was a contest between France and the allied powers of Spain, the United Kingdom, and Portugal for control of the Iberian Peninsula during the Napoleonic Wars. The war began when French armies invaded Portugal in 1807 and Spain in 1808 and lasted until the Sixth Coalition defeated Napoleon in 1814. The Spanish War of Independence was one of the most successful partisan wars in history and is the origin of the word guerrilla in the English language (from Spanish Guerra de guerrillas or "War of little wars"). However, this guerrilla warfare was costly to both sides. Not only did the 'patriotic' Spaniards trouble the French troops, they also petrified their countrymen with a combination of forced conscription and looting of towns. Many of the partisans were, in fact, either fleeing the law or trying to get rich, although later in the war the authorities tried to make the guerrillas militarily reliable, and many of them formed regular army units, like Espoz y Mina's "Cazadores de Navarra", among others.

Plan of Milledgeville, 1808 Daniel Sturges This hand-drawn plan of Milledgeville, Georgia ranks high among the cartographic artistic treasures in the state of Georgia. It includes unique information about the extent of wetlands, distribution of land owners, and land use functions of Georgia's premier planned city of the early National period. When discovered at the Georgia Archives during move preparations in 2002, the map was in extremely fragile condition. There were significant tears and areas of lost information. In March 2008, with generous support of the Friends of the Georgia Archives, conservation treatment of this treasure was begun by Elizabeth K. Schulte. The backing cloth was removed and the map was humidified and flattened in preparation of mending. Once most of the pieces had been reattached and large tears were repaired, stains were reduced on a suction table. The map was lined with Okawara Japanese tissue. Losses were filled in with toned tissues.
Sven Tuuva - The Battle of Koljonvirta (1808)
This is the famous Battle of Koljonvirta -scene from the 50s Finnish war movie Sven Tuuva, based on the epic poem "The Tales of Ensign Stål" by Finland´s national poet JLRuneberg. Sven Tuuva is a fictional character, a simple-minded, but courageous Savonian soldier during the War of Finland (1808-1809), when Sweden lost Finland to Russia. Don´t worry about the first ten seconds that are freeze-framed, it´s just a windows movie maker glitch. ;)

As a point of interest, I'm uploading two complete early Rossini cantatas for a soloist and chorus, as well as two excepts from a more mature work, again in the form of cantata. "Il pianto d'Armonia sulla morte di Orfeo", in which Harmony (tenor) and attendant nymphs (sung, possibly unintentionally humorously, by a male chorus) mourn the death of Orpheus, master of harmony, was Rossini's first major cantata (1808). Even more interesting, the piece was written as an exercise (which won a prize) at the Liceo Musicale in Bologna and premiered there on the 11 August 1808, when Rossini was some months short of his eighteenth birthday. All this comes as a shock when one has an opportunity to hear the piece itself, attesting to the rhythmic and lyric talent which would define the composer's style in the decade to come. The text (was it chosen by Rossini or "set" by his teachers?) is a turgid piece by one Girolamo Ruggia but, as so often was the case later, the inadequacies of a libretto dont seem to hamper Rossini at all. The piece is divided classically into the succession of sinfonia - chorus - recitative - aria - recitative - aria. Truth be told, not everything is what one could call music of the highest order but there is much to admire. A rich, theatrical Sinfonia with an unusually uplifting central section gives way to a light (almost classicist) choral narrative, accounting Orpheus' poor fate.

www.artehistoria.com Contra lo que puede parecer lógico, tanto el Dos de Mayo como su compañero El Tres de Mayo, no se pintaron al iniciarse la Guerra de la Independencia, sino al finalizar ésta en 1814. Goya se dirige al Consejo de Regencia, presidido por el cardenal D. Luis de Borbón, solicitando ayuda económica para pintar las hazañas del pueblo español, el gran protagonista de la contienda, en su lucha contra Napoleón. Goya ha querido representar aquí un episodio de ira popular: el ataque del pueblo madrileño, mal armado, contra la más poderosa máquina militar del momento, el ejército francés. En el centro de la composición, un mameluco, soldado egipcio bajo órdenes francesas, cae muerto del caballo mientras un madrileño continúa apuñalándole y otro hiere mortalmente al caballo, recogiéndose así la destrucción por sistema, lo ilógico de la guerra. Al fondo, las figuras de los madrileños, con los ojos desorbitados por la rabia, la ira y la indignación acuchillan con sus armas blancas a jinetes y caballos mientras los franceses rechazan el ataque e intentan huir. Es significativo el valor expresivo de sus rostros y de los caballos, cuyo deseo de abandonar el lugar se pone tan de manifiesto como el miedo de sus ojos. En suma, Goya recoge con sus pinceles cómo pudo ser el episodio que encendió la guerra con toda su violencia y su crueldad, para manifestar su posición contraria a esos hechos y dar una lección contra la irracionalidad del ser humano, como correspondía a su <b>...</b>

'Let Erin Remember the Days of Old' is written by Thomas Moore in 1808 with the music based on "The Red Fox". It is a beautiful, lilting Irish melody. Here are the words of Moore's poem: "Let Erin remember the days of old, Ere her faithless sons betray'd her; When Malachi wore the collar of gold, Which he won from her proud invader, When her kings, with standard of green unfurl'd, Led the Red-Branch Knights to danger! Ere the emerald gem of the western world Was set in the crown of a stranger. On Lough Neagh's bank as the fisherman strays, When the clear cold eve's declining, He sees the round towers of other days In the wave beneath him shining: Thus shall memory often, in dreams sublime, Catch a glimpse of the days that are over; Thus, sighing, look through the waves of time, For the long-faded glories they cover."
