Navarre (English /nəˈvɑr/; Spanish: Navarra; Basque: Nafarroa), officially the Chartered Community of Navarre (Spanish: Comunidad Foral de Navarra [komuniˈðað foˈɾal de naˈβara]; Basque: Nafarroako Foru Erkidegoa [nafaroako foɾu erkidegoa]), is an autonomous community in northern Spain, bordering the Basque Country, La Rioja, and Aragon in Spain and Aquitaine in France. The capital is the city of Pamplona (or Iruña in Basque).
During the time of the Roman Empire, the territory of the province was inhabited by the Vascones, a pre-Roman tribe who populated the southern slopes of the Pyrenees. In the northern, mountaineous areas the Vascones escaped large-scale Roman settlement but not so in the flatter areas to the south which were amenable to large-scale Roman farming.
The area was never fully subjugated either by the Visigoths or by the Moors. In AD 778, the Basques defeated a Frankish army in the Battle of Roncevaux Pass. Two generations later, in 824, the chieftain Iñigo Arista was chosen King of Pamplona, laying a foundation for the later Kingdom of Navarre. That kingdom reached its zenith during the reign of Sancho III of Navarre and covered the area of the present-day Navarre, Basque country, and La Rioja, together with parts of modern Cantabria, Castile and León, and Aragon.
Gil Shaham (born February 19, 1971) is an Israeli-American violinist.
Gil Shaham was born in Urbana, Illinois, while his parents, Israeli scientists, were on an academic fellowship at the University of Illinois. His father Jacob was an astrophysicist, and his mother, Meira Diskin, was a cytogeneticist. His sister is the pianist Orli Shaham. He is a graduate of the Horace Mann School in Riverdale, New York. The family returned to Jerusalem when Gil was two. At the age of seven, Shaham began taking violin lessons from Samuel Bernstein at the Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem. In 1980, when Shaham was nine years old, he played for Isaac Stern, Nathan Milstein and Henryk Szeryng, and attended the Aspen Music School in Colorado, studying with Dorothy DeLay (the teacher of many other leading artists, including Itzhak Perlman and Sarah Chang) and Jens Ellerman.
Shaham is married to the Australian-born violinist Adele Anthony. They have two children, Elijah and Ella Mei.
At age 10, Shaham debuted as soloist with the Jerusalem Symphony, conducted by the violinist Alexander Schneider. Less than a year later Shaham performed with Israel's foremost orchestra, the Israel Philharmonic, which was conducted by Zubin Mehta. At age 11, in 1982, Shaham won first prize in the Claremont Competition and was admitted to the Juilliard School in New York, where he studied with Dorothy DeLay and Hyo Kang. In addition, both he and his younger sister, the pianist Orli Shaham, attended Columbia University.
Adele Anthony (born 1971) is an Australian-American violinist. She attended Dernancourt Primary School, South Australia. A native of Tasmania, she studied violin at the University of Adelaide and the Juilliard School.
At 13, Anthony was the youngest winner of the ABC Instrumental and Vocal Competition, performing the Violin Concerto by Jean Sibelius with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra. She was later the winner of the 1996 Carl Nielsen International violin competition. She studied with Dorothy DeLay at the Juilliard School in New York for eight years.
Her recordings include the Philip Glass Violin Concerto (1999/2000 on Naxos Records), Arvo Pärt's Tabula Rasa with Gil Shaham, Neeme Järvi and the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra (on Deutsche Grammophon) and Ross Edwards' Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, Maninyas / Sibelius's Violin Concerto in D Minor, op 47 with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra conducted by Arvo Volmer (Canary Classics CC09).
She is married to violinist Gil Shaham.
The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra is a Grammy Award-winning classical music chamber orchestra based in New York City. It is known for its collaborative leadership style in which the musicians, not a conductor, interpret the score.
Orpheus was founded in 1972, by cellist Julian Fifer and a group of fellow musicians who aspired to perform orchestral repertoire using chamber music ensemble techniques. Central to its distinctive personality is its unique practice of sharing and rotating leadership roles. For every work, the members of the orchestra select the concertmaster and the principal players for each section. These players constitute the core group, whose role is to form the initial concept of the piece and to shape the rehearsal process. In the final rehearsals, all members of the orchestra participate in refining the interpretation and execution, with members taking turns listening from the hall for balance, blend, articulation, dynamic range and clarity of expression.
Recognized internationally as one of the world's great orchestras, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra has been playing to music lovers on four continents for 34 years. For the past twenty-six seasons, the centerpiece of each Orpheus season has been its concert series at New York's Carnegie Hall. Accompanying the critical acclaim for Orpheus' live appearances are numerous distinctions and awards, including a 2001 Grammy Award for Shadow Dances: Stravinsky Miniatures, a 1998 Grammy nomination for its recording of Mozart piano concerti with Richard Goode, the 1998 "Ensemble of the Year" award by Musical America, as well as performances on Herbie Hancock's Grammy-winning Gershwin's World. On May 16, 2010, the orchestra was awarded an honorary degree from Case Western Reserve University at the university's graduation ceremony alongside Katie Couric and M. Cherif Bassiouni.
Igor Oistrakh (Ukrainian: Ігор Давидович Ойстрах; Russian: Игорь Давидович Ойстрах; born April 27, 1931) is a Ukrainian violinist.
He was born in Odessa, Ukraine (then part of the Soviet Union) and is the son of Tamara Rotareva and violinist David Oistrakh. He attended the Central Music School in Moscow and made his concert debut in 1948. From 1949 to 1955 he studied at the Moscow Conservatory, winning first prizes and international competitions in Eastern Europe. He then joined the faculty of the Conservatory in 1958, becoming a lecturer in 1965. Since 1996 Igor Oistrakh has held the post of Professor of the Royal Conservatory in Brussels.
He has appeared frequently internationally, both as a soloist and in joint recitals with his father, or with his father conducting.
He is noted for his lean, modernist interpretations.
The asteroid 42516 Oistrach was named in his (and his father's) honour.
Mother I've lost my way
Oh mother I'm being hunted
By ghosts with pointy beaks
To catch me and wrap me up in their sheets
This is the sharpest place in the world
I get cut every which way I turn
And if somewhere I've lost my way
And if somewhere I lost my way
At night when I think they're asleep
I run out and I hide in a tree
The moon comes up over my head
It taunts me and I long for my bed
This is the sharpest place in the world
I get cut every which way I turn
And if somewhere I've lost my way
And if somewhere I lost my way
This is the sharpest place in the world
I get cut every which way I turn
And if somewhere I've lost my way
The winter's coming and it takes your place
A love that flashes & then fades away
And I know you won't stay
But I can't let you go
They'll pull the pieces 'til it falls apart
They're taking punches at this work of art
And I know you're not far
But I need you close
Torn and frayed
Sad faced today
Concrete and paint
But all of it grey
You barely know me
I'm a lonely man
And I've been trying as hard as I can
Trying to make everyone understand
Understand
When someone's different does it make you hate
Or want to take them in and make them safe
With the kind of love that makes you stay up late
And wait
You're waiting
The winter's coming now they'll trace our tracks
Our vivid colors all just fade to black
And you want them all back
But they're gone
Now I'm cool blue
When I'm with you
I get so happy I can breathe
Your thoughts they comfort me
They swirl up in blue green
Lavender and pink
But I don't want to fall apart
I can't start again
I'm in love
I'm in love
With life
In a city of grey,
a group of faceless people live far far away.
I've heard they take more than they give.
The freezing rain
is all that taps on their lonely window panes.
Violins play such a sad song for them.
Oh, the winter will come,
and bury everyone.
It will turn green to grey.
And though I beg for you to stay.
Protect them from feeling lonely.
And oh, summer girl,
You're bright in a grey world,
Like a summer sun.
Do come, don't burn anyone.
Protect them from feeling lonely.
Good night, moon.
Said she must go from my window.
I thought she would return soon.
Oh, the winter will come,
and bury everyone.
It will turn green to grey.
And though I beg for you to stay.
Protect them from feeling lonely.
And oh, summer girl,
You're bright in a grey world,
Like a summer sun.
Do come, don't burn anyone.
Protect them from feeling lonely.
Old man winter, he's coming.
I'm so cold. [x2]
Oh, summer girl,
You're bright in a grey world,
Like a summer sun.
Do come, don't burn anyone.
You've come & gone so fast
But we still feel what we feel
You want what won't last
But I want what's real
It's Valentines today
But you haven't found your way back
I've got hearts in my eyes
For you across the sky
I'll buy you roses of red
When the sky is blue
You love me then
And I'll love you too
You walked away from me
I am sad now
I can't see
I've got hearts in my eyes
But you make the sting
I'll buy you roses of red
When the sky is blue
You loved me then
And I'll love you too
Oh I'll love you too
I sent a letter to you
My spirit it is free
You're in a foreign land
But I've got all I need
It's Valentines today
And all I have to say is
I still love you
Watch out bombs are falling
Don't fall out of love
Say that your heart
That my heart, that it's not broken
And the witch is forever haunting
She'll haunt you into fear
Hide under the stairs, pray to god
She won't find me here
Bomber pilot
How could you drop your bomb
You don't even know me at all
Bomber pilot
Bomber pilot
I hope you lose your way
Maybe could just live for one more day
Bomber pilot
And one it's for your country
And two it's all for me
Oh no
Bomber pilot
I hope you lose your way
Maybe could just live for one more day
Bomber pilot
Bomber pilot
How could you drop your bomb
You don't even know me at all
Bomber pilot
Bomber pilot
I hope you lose your way
Please always look out for me and let me know
That someone's always there
My summer sun is sinking low and I don't want to
Be here when it's goes
My summer's ending
It's ending
It's over
Cool kiss of autumn on this summer face
The rustle of the leaves can take the sting away
And I know winter's just a few more days
Leaves start to fall... All the leaves fall
And now it's fall, don't let it fall
Please always look out for me and let me know
That someone's always near
My summer sun is sinking low and I don't want to
Oh anxiety
You're mine all the time
You're my one and only
You're mine all the time
And you're a cavity
You're mine all the time
Pull it out, though it hurts
It's good for me
You're mine all the time
Get it right the first time
Or you'll be alone, I say
Get it right the first time
Or you'll be alone
I must say
Get it right the first time
Or you'll be alone
You're a cavity
You're mine all the time
You're my one & only
You're mine all the time
Get it right the first time
Or you'll be alone, I say
Get there in a straight line
Or you'll be alone, I must say
Or you'll be alone, I say
And get it right the first time
Or you'll be alone, I must say
Get it right the first time
Or you'll be alone, I say
And get it right the first time
Doom doo ba de da
Doom doom ba de da [x3]
Sure, I know, you're just confused.
And I'm sure you're just misused
by all of those guys you're leading on.
And I'm sure you need more time to think about your life.
And all of those unholy things that you've done.
Oh look you're crying in your hole;
Drowning and no one cares,
And no one can hear.
Your self pity anymore.
& Oh look you've been fucked again
And regarded by all your friends as a whore.
And I don't need you anymore.
Doom doo ba de da
Doom doom ba de da [x3]
Off to church, you're feeling dirty.
God loves you oh so much.
& You can hide your guilt
under your, your dress and pretty hair.
& Oh look you're crying in your hole;
Drowning and no one cares,
And no one can hear.
Your self pity anymore.
& Oh look you've been fucked again.
And regarded by all your friends as a whore.
I love you, I love you, I love you..This might be love,
but I don't want to speak too soon;
& worry you. (whoaa)
I know it's love and I can't get enough of you.
What to do? (whoaa)
This must be love,
But everytime you look away
there's no way to know.
And heart ache's start
when love falls short
on where we meet.
And love makes time like walking
blind right down the pier.
I love you, I love you, I love you..
This might be love,
but I don't want to speak too soon;
& worry you. (whoaa)
I know it's love,
& I can't get enough of you, enough of you. (whoaa)
This must be love but everytime you go away,
there's no way to know.
And she's alright.
I'm out of mind. She's out of sight.
& love makes time like walking blind.
I'm walking blind.
I love you, I love you, I love you..
This might be love,
but I don't want to speak too soon;
& worry you. (whoaa)
I know it's love,
And I can't get enough of you,
What to do? (whoaa)
This must be love but everytime you go away,
there's no way to know.
It's time to lay the kids down to sleep
And pray the lord their souls to keep
For if they cry in fear that I might not come back
It's in the haunted forest where the witch cooks her kids
And I'm delirious as she sings me her song
The cops and the dogs are close behind
To save me from her knives
They pull me out just in time
But in Antarctica it's a place where I don't feel alone
In Antarctica our worries are buried in the snow
And the witch can't find me here
And all of my friends are there
And I'll find my heart in Antarctica
And I'll find my heart in Antarctica
I've been in this car far way too long
It's twisted my back all wrong
I can't open my hands
They are far way to wake
And fall it only comes twice a year
Once in autumn and once for fear
I blame it on all my tears
I blame it on all my tears
In Antarctica it's a place where I don't feel alone
In Antarctica our worries are buried in the snow
And the witch can't find me here
And all of my friends are there
And I'll find my heart in Antarctica
And I'll find my heart in Antarctica
And we'll never part in Antarctica
We walk hand in hand
Through a winterland
Lips so cold they turn blue
And match your eyes a bit
You look so nice like this
It's like I've never seen you
And all these companies
With all their factories
Want to turn our snow into water
And no one's drinking it
They all just sink in it
And all that's blue to turns to gray
When snow starts to fall
I'm gonna play in it
Stop everything and lay in it
I'll watch a world slow down
When my job here is done
I'm gonna run back home
But I don't wanna be alone
So you can come along if you want
Just come along if you want
When snow starts to fall
I'm gonna to play in it
Stop everything and lay in it
I'll watch a world slow down
When my job here is done
I'm gonna run back home
But I don't wanna be alone
So you can come along if you want
Just come along if you want
Don't make a mess of it
Don't make a mess of this
Don't make a mess of this
Kate she paints her hands
Dreams of Japan
Thinks of flowers & snow
She gets to go away from her home
Away from this dreadful town
Her parents say she's not home enough
She knows they're not in love
She paints her pictures of flowers
Sleep
Go to sleep
Just close your eyes
And fall away
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Just close your eyes
And fall away
Go to
Kate she's in a strings band
She's made brand new friends
She's the queen of it all
They just don't understand
It's out of her hands
It's out of her mind
Her parents say she's not at home enough
She ignores they're not in love
She can't explain enough
She's tired
Sleep
Go to sleep
Just close your eyes
And fall away
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Just close your eyes
And fall away
Go to sleep
And she's not sure she could ever be
All the things that they need her to be
No & she's not sure she could call on us
Cause if she tried she might not get to sleep tonight
And I can't wait for
I can't wait for
I can't wait for
I can't wait for
I can't wait for
I can't wait for
I can't wait for
I can't wait for
I can't wait for
I can't wait for
I can't wait for
No, I can't wait for
Sleep
Just close your eyes
And fall away
You've been on my mind today
I had a dream I heard you say
something made me feel this way, it's nice
You had called me baby like,
We'd been together for some time
It had never crossed my mind before
When I pass a country road
I have to wonder where it goes
A friendly face a pleasant place to live
But country roads they turn to black
And all the houses start to stack
And now I don't know where I'm at, at all
You've been on my mind today
I had a dream I heard you say
It's wintertime I'm delighted All the snow has fall'n all
the pain is gone I know that she loves as we walk through
I don't want to go inside
When the sun comes out
This loneliness is haunting me
It will never stop
I'll always dream of her
Those summer days & those summer nights
Old man winters come
To attack my summer sun
Bombs fall once more
Send my brother off to war
Think I'm losing one of my best friends
And she speaks to me
Tucks me into sleep
The comfort of her hands
I don't want to go inside
When the sun comes out
This loneliness is haunting me
It will never stop
I'll always dream of her
Those summer days & those summer nights
Summer sun returns
To attack me with sunburns
And dusk clears once more
Send my brother back from war
He's a ghost of my best friend
And she speaks to me
Tucks me into sleep
The comfort of her hands
I don't want to go inside
When the sun comes out
This loneliness is haunting me
It will never stop
I'll always dream of her
Those summer days & those summer nights
I don't want to go inside
When the sun comes out
This loneliness is haunting me
It will never stop
I'll always dream of her
In the fall we burn the leaves
It gets dark now soon
And my heart breaks
And my mom bakes the
I don't want it to hurt anymore
This ghost just breaks my heart
I don't want it to hurt anymore
Sun shines through the empty trees
Children watch black & white tv
And my heart breaks
And my mom bakes the
I don't want it to hurt anymore
This ghost just breaks my heart
Be my valentine.
We'll walk through the park;
afraid of the dark.
I need you here.
Say you won't leave.
Say you won't leave me. (whoaaa.)
Say you won't leave me.
Be my valentine.
Slow dance with me;
what a pair. Yeah.
Be my valentine.
Play unchained melody,
And always be near.
My valentine
We'll fight in the car .
It's a long way home.
I need you here.
Say you won't leave.
Say you won't leave me. (Ohhh.)
Say you won't leave me.
And be my valentine.
Slow dance with me;
what a pair. Yeah.
Be my valentine.
Play unchained melody,
And always be near.
Be my valentine.
Slow dance with me;
what a pair. Yeah.
Be my valentine.
Play unchained melody,
Tied to my desk
After seven years of convenience
I think that I've finally felt
I think that I've found myself
I think that I've been sold out
Working for a madhouse
Quick doc. put on your smock
his heart has stopped, his jaw's locked
He's fallen from his penthouse home
His nerves have exploded
When I finally got there
It looks as though they beat me here
It had been overlooked
Not quite like in a book
I think I've been sold out
