My entry for Macro Monday - Musical Instrument
This is Elizabeth Anderson performing, though from this angle she's somewhat unidentifiable. Charlie was stuck in high gear so I didn't get to listen long, but she's awesome (performing with her brother Ben).
Anyway, I hope everyone's having a great week.
Recently been given my Great Grandmother's violin. Her name was Aimée Junker MacNeill. Need a little work.
The Violin Player this lady was playing the violin at a turn of the century reenactment at the pioneer village in North Carolina.
My wife commissioned this Gibertoni & Nalin violin over a year ago from Milan and we finally collected it at the weekend. Much practice for her and many photo opportunities for me.
El violÃn (del italiano violino, diminutivo de viola) es un instrumento de cuerda de la familia del violÃn.
En los violines antiguos, las cuerdas eran de tripa. Hoy pueden ser también de metal o de tripa entorchada con aluminio, plata o acero; la cuerda en mi, la más aguda ―llamada cantino― es directamente un hilo de acero, y, ocasionalmente, de oro. En la actualidad se están fabricando cuerdas de materiales sintéticos que tienden a reunir la sonoridad lograda por la flexibilidad de la tripa y la resistencia de los metales.
Además del efecto logrado por el arco sobre las cuerdas, se pueden conseguir otros: pizzicato (pellizcando las cuerdas como en el arpa o la guitarra, pero con otra posición), trémolo (moviendo el arco arriba y abajo muy rápido), vibrato (oscilando ligeramente los dedos sobre las cuerdas), glissando (deslizando los dedos de una posición a otra), col legno (tocando con la parte de madera del arco), sul ponticello (tocando cerca del puente), sul tasto (tocando sobre el diapasón), etcétera.
Las partituras de música para violÃn usan siempre la clave de sol, llamada antiguamente «clave de violÃn».
Well it was battered and scared,
And the auctioneer felt it was hardly worth his while,
To waste much time on the old violin but he held it up with a smile,
Well it sure ain't much but its all we got left I guess we ought to sell it to,
Oh, now who'll start the bid on this old violin?
Just one more and we'll be through.
And then he cried one give me one dollar,
Who'll make it two only two dollars who'll make it three,
Three dollars twice now that's a good price,
Now who's gonna bid for me?
Raise up your hand now don't wait any longer the auctions about to end,
Who's got four Just one dollar more to bid on this old violin?
Well the air was hot and the people stood around as the sun was setting low,
From the back of the crowd a gray haired man,
Came forward and picked up the bow,
He wiped the dust from the old violin then he tightened up the strings,
Then he played out a melody pure and sweet, sweeter than the Angels sing,
And then the music stopped and the auctioneer,
With a voice that was quiet and low he said now what am I bid,
For this old violin and he held it up with a bow.
And then he cried out one give me one thousand,
Who'll make it two only two thousand who'll make it three,
Three thousand twice you know that's a good price,
Common who's gonna to bid for me?
And the people cried out what made the change we don't understand,
Then the auctioneer stopped and he said with a smile,
It was the touch of the Master's hand.
You know threes many a man with his life out of tune,
Battered and scared with sin and he's auctioned cheap,
To a thankless world much like that old violin,
Oh, but then the Master comes,
And that old foolish crowd they never understand,
The worth of a soul and the change that is rought,
Just by one touch of the Masters hand.
And then he cried out one give me one thousand,
Who'll make it two only two thousand who'll make it three,
Three thousand twice you know that's a good price,
Common who's gonna bid for me?
And the people cried out what made the change we don't understand,
Then the auctioneer stopped and he said with a smile,
It was the touch, that's all it was; it was the touch of the Master's hand,
It was the touch of the Master's hand; oh, it was the touch of the Master's hand.
A bit of fun in Photoshop, Lightroom and Nik Collection. A worn out half size violin and some sheet music. Many layers later and I called it Decomposing.
Inspired with Nessun Dorma from Violin Fantasy on Puccini's 'Turandot' by Vanessa Mae.
