Beschreibung

"Le Papillon and the Candle" is an award-winning musical composition, recognized as one of the winners of the “Fables of Leonardo da Vinci in Music” competition, organized by theCarano4Children foundation and judged by Stefano Cucci on behalf of Maestro Ennio Morricone. This work is a vivid musical interpretation of Leonardo da Vinci's fable The Butterfly and the Candle, written in both English and French, with the two characters expressing themselves in different languages. Eclectic in style, the piece blends simple, lyrical melodies sung by children with virtuosic accompaniment and demanding solo passages. This composition exists in four distinct versions: one for soprano, baritone, and piano; another adding a children’s choir; a third incorporating a string quartet alongside the choir, soloists, and piano; and a purely instrumental version for string quartet. Optional staging ideas enhance the theatrical nature of the performance. For instance, the soprano could light a candle during the opening piano bars and hold it throughout the performance, while the baritone blows out the candle at the conclusion. Countless other staging possibilities exist, and performers are strongly encouraged to explore these to bring additional dramatic depth to the piece.

    A serious look at the lyrics of metal’s biggest band, disentangling double meanings, explaining stories, uncovering sources, and illuminating themes such as hope, despair, rage, resilience, power, liberty, justice, love, death, and insanity.
    		 
    More than 40 years since their formation, and 125 million album sales later, Metallica is as relevant as ever. Much has been written about the band, but The Meaning of Metallica is the first book to focus exclusively on their lyrics.
    		 
    Their mighty guitar riffs and pounding drums are legendary, but Metallica’s words match the intensity of their tunes. Lead singer James Hetfield writes rock poetry dealing with death, war, addiction, alienation, corruption, freedom, religion, and other weighty topics. Painting a rainbow of emotions with a deft palette, subtle but not obscure, Hetfield’s lyrics deserve careful attention. A master of narrative, Metallica makes listeners care about a vast array of characters, from a vengeful God, to a suicidal teenager, to a man in mid-life crisis.
    		 
    The Meaning of Metallica is like a riveting conversation with a close friend. A thematic tour de force that traces Hetfield’s lyrical development across the decades, this companion examines everything from deep cuts like “Confusion” to megahits like “Enter Sandman.” Sure to spark debate and discussion, The Meaning of Metallica provides a close reading of lyrics dense with details and rich with allusions.
