Sinfonia: On the Trail of the Iberian Hurdy-Gurdy | Crowdfunding Intro & Movie Trailer




My story on the trail of the zanfona (Hurdy-Gurdy) in Spain, with interviews, concerts & great music


Well, for starters, it's not just from Spain–but more about that later. I'd like to tell you about my project, which has been important to me for years but has been 'parked' as a result of, well, life. But first: Who am I? What is this project about, and why might you be interested in helping out? And will you make a difference if you give to my crowdfunding campaign?

I'm a musician, first and foremost–a singer (tenor), and I love studying about music history, delving into manuscripts: I'm a music nerd for sure. I love medieval music, and I do a lot of it, but I studied voice performance at university, with all that it entails: solo vocal repertoire, chamber music, choral works, opera, you name it. But I also have loved traditional music my whole life, and through Galician trad I found about this incredible instrument, called zanfona. In English, it's called hurdy-gurdy.

In 2005 I applied for and received a Fulbright Fellowship to go to Spain and study the zanfona in Spain's history and culture (the was the official title of my project, anyhow). I had a great time, but unfortunately there were a few snafus in my collaborations. Most moments were stellar, and so many people along the way were incredibly helpful. However, an idea that I had—to write a book about the zanfona's history—never panned out. Still, I continued speaking to people, who opened their doors and hearts to me about an instrument and music they loved. They were a passionate group, these hurdygurdyists, and excited about the instrument's present-day renaissance in Spain. I shot some film here and there, took field notes and photos, recorded interviews. When I came up short for book material, I decided that video would be the way to go. So the following year, I made plans and started saving up for a short video documentary on the zanfona.

I had a great team, and we shot wonderful footage through central and northern Spain. To this archive, I added festival footage and interviews shot by collaborators who I hired in the years following. But I got so busy with the higher priorities of school and family life, that I had to leave the footage to one side, unedited and lonely...but with your help all of this will change!

NOTE: Stay tuned for "Take 2: Sinfonia" Crowdfunding Coming very soon on IndieGoGo!The original campaign ended on February 14th and fell a bit short (!) so I'm soon going to try again. Thanks to everyone for your continued interest and support!

  • The Circle Pit –

You may or may not remember the Lamb of Gurdy incident from last year. Either way, the brilliant Hurdy Gurdy musician going by the name of Helvetion has returned! This time ’round, she decided to tackle the Monuments track “Jinn” and to say she smashes it might actually be an understatement. It’s rare to see the Hurdy get so Gurdy. So get nerdy and watch one of the best covers you’ll likely see in awhile.
Beyond this, Helvetion has a wide series of Eluveitie covers that are fully worth checking out along with the aforementioned Lamb of God cover. You can find more and subscribe over on her YouTube channel by clicking here. All hail Helvetion!

A Viela de Roda no Brasil: Viela "baratinha" no eBay, o mito.


"Nature morte à la vielle" -  Henri Horace
A pressa é inimiga da perfeição. 
Essa máxima, ainda que clichê ao extremo, é a mais pura verdade para nós, músicos. Temos que ter calma na hora de aprender uma peça nova, na hora de lidar com aquela frase que embola os dedos e o mais importante de tudo, no nosso caso, antes mesmo de morrermos trocando cordas: comprando um instrumento... *

* (google translate): Haste is the enemy of perfection.This maxim, although cliché the extreme, it is so true for us, musicians. We have to take it easy at the time to learn a new piece, when dealing with that phrase to lump together the fingers and most important of all, in our case, even before we die changing strings: buying an instrument...

29 MAY - Bourdon in het Bos; Putten, NL | Stichting Draailier en Doedelzak




Op zondag 29 mei is er weer Bourdon in het Bos bij Putten. Dan zijn er geen workshops, cursussen of concerten maar deze dag is speciaal voor samenspelen, jammen en sessies. Ook andere instrumenten zijn natuurlijk welkom! Aarzel dan ook niet, meld je direct aan via onderstaand formulier en nodig je vrienden uit om mee te spelen!
Het lijkt ons leuk als alle deelnemers iets lekkers (zoet of hartig) meenemen. We kunnen het eten op een grote tafel uitstallen en er met z‟n allen de hele middag van genieten. Als organisatie zorgen we voor koffie en thee en voor een lekkere kop soep aan het eind van de middag.
Bourdon in het Bos wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door:

"voor optimale communicatie met de Franse overheden"
tel. 06 17 92 61 17

Repertoire

Tijdens het samenspelen kan er natuurlijk van alles gebeuren. Iedereen kan een melodie inzetten. Maar vooraf sturen we bladmuziek zodat er in iedergeval wat gemeenschappelijk repertoire is.

Repertoire
- Pour qouy
- Monferrino
- Adèle Blanc Sec
Wals voor Polle
Kadril van Mechelen
Sous ta fenêtre (Het klopt dat de partij voor de trekzak in een andere toonsoort staat dan de partij voor de draailier en doedelzak. We spelen de partijen afwisselend)
- Une demi seconde.
Branle des Cheveaux
Il est bien temps
Lucy
Bourree du Secrétaire (ook in mp3 of midi)
Marguerite
Panic at the cafe polka
Tes jolies patins blancs

Locatie

Deze dag vindt plaats bij het gebouw van Scoutinggroep Kon-Tiki dat midden in in het Speulder- en Sprielderbos bij Putten staat. Mocht het slecht weer zijn, dan biedt dit gebouw voldoende ruimte om in kleinere en grotere groepen samen te spelen.
Het adres is:
Garderenseweg 144-B
3881 NC Putten

Met het openbaar vervoer is deze locatie ook goed te bereiken: neem vanaf station Putten buslijn 107 (richting Ede). Stap uit bij Bushalte School Schovenhorst. Zie ook de actuele tijden op OV9292.nl.

La Nièvre rencontre le Québec - update

https://labelleentente.wordpress.com

Comme promis, le voici, le site internet dédié au festival la Nièvre rencontre le Québec! Toutes les informations ne...
Posted by La Nièvre rencontre le Québec on Friday, December 25, 2015




« La belle entente » sera donnée :
– À la Maison de la Culture de Nevers et de la Nièvre, le samedi 2 avril – 20 heures 30 (Saison Culturelle de la MCNN)
INFOS/RÉSERVATIONS : mcnn.fr ou 03.86.93.09.09 
24€-15€

– À la grande halle de Luzy le dimanche 3 avril – 16 heures- en partenariat avec la Ville de Luzy et La Communauté de Communes des Portes Sud du Morvan.
Une co-production AMTCN / Maison de la Culture de Nevers – Nièvre Composition et direction musicales : Dominique Forges
Avec le groupe québécois Le Vent du Nord
Nicolas Boulerice (Vielle, accordéon- Piano, voix), Simon Beaudry (Bouzouki, guitare et voix), Réjean Brunet ( basses, accordéon diatonique, guimbarde et piano, voix) et Olivier Demers (violon, guitare, pieds, mandoline et voix) 
L’Ensemble Musique Traditionnelle de Nevers
Des musiciens professionnels invités et La chorale Poly’sons ainsi que les classes de cornemuse de Clamecy et Nevers.
70 INSTRUMENTISTES ET CHANTEURS
Le bois/la forêt est une thématique très présente dans la chanson traditionnelle française (notamment collectée en Nièvre) et québécoise. Il y avait de quoi s’en inspirer pour composer une création riche en timbres, en voix, en rythmes et mélodies avec les couleurs irlando/écossaises qui caractérisent la musique québécoise.
Dominique Forges, habitué à l’exercice d’écriture pour de grandes formations, compose des paroles et musiques, adapte des chansons québécoises, arrange des titres proposés par Le vent du nord. On y entendra même de la trompe de chasse paraît-il… 15 titres devraient assurer plus d’une heure trente de concert.
« La belle entente » sera le moment fort de « la Nièvre rencontre le Québec », non seulement par la dimension de l’orchestre et la présence des quatre talentueux artistes de « Le vent du nord », mais aussi parce que c’est une production qui émane de notre territoire, impliquant instrumentistes et chanteurs nivernais, professionnels et amateurs, jeunes et adultes, et élèves des écoles de musique. La Nièvre est une terre de culture aime-t-on à dire, une création musicale comme « la belle entente » se veut en être le témoin.
