Henryk Górecky - Symphonie No.3 - 2nd Movement

"Muito compositores tornaram-se conhecidos mundialmente apenas séculos depois da sua vida, no seu tempo fizeram importantes músicas, provavelmente tiveram o seu grupo de admiradores, mas para muitos, mais não foram do que meros bons profissionais no seio de muitos e são hoje génios na arte de Orfeu.
É normal que se alguém perguntar por grandes músicos falarão de Bach, mas não o seria no seu tempo, tal como actualmente poucos conhecem Olivier Messiaen ou Henryk Górecky, o primeiro foi único, o segundo http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henryk_G%C3%B3recki
experimentou as grandes técnicas de composição do século XX e conheceu o sucesso com a sua 3.ª Sinfonia das Canções Tristes, cujos acordes já me comoveram muitas vezes.
Fica aqui a homenagem do grande músico polaco Henryk Górecky acompanhada de obras primas da pintura, que ontem nos legou a sua obra e abandonou o mundo dos vivos."



Henryk Gorécki (1933) is a polish composer of contemporary classical music. Górecki's most popular piece is his "Third Symphony", also known as the "Symphony of Sorrowful Songs". The work is slow and contemplative, and each of the three movements are composed for orchestra and solo soprano. The libretto for the first movement is taken from a 15th century lament, while second movement uses the words of a teenage girl, Helena Błażusiak, which she wrote on the wall of a Gestapo prison cell in Zakopane to invoke the protection of the Virgin Mary. The third uses the text of a Silesian folk song which describes the pain of a mother searching for a son killed in the Silesian uprisings. The dominant themes of the symphony are motherhood and separation through war. While the first and third movements are written from the perspective of a parent who has lost a child, the second movement is from that of a child separated from a parent.

The first paintings are from El Greco (1541-1614) - a painter, sculptor, and architect of the Spanish Renaissance. El Greco's dramatic and expressionistic style was met with puzzlement by his contemporaries but found appreciation in the 20th century. El Greco is regarded as a precursor of both Expressionism and Cubism, while his personality and works were a source of inspiration for poets and writers such as Rainer Maria Rilke and Nikos Kazantzakis. El Greco has been characterized by modern scholars as an artist so individual that he belongs to no conventional school. He is best known for tortuously elongated figures and often fantastic or phantasmagorical pigmentation, marrying Byzantine traditions with those of Western painting.

The second paintings are from the austrian painter Egon Schiele (1890-1918). A protégé of Gustav Klimt, Schiele was a major figurative painter of the early 20th century. Schiele's work is noted for its intensity, and the many self-portraits the artist produced. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterize Schiele's paintings and drawings mark the artist as an early exponent of Expressionism, although still strongly associated with the art nouveau movement (Jugendstil).
