Music for Film

In this episode we focused on compositions written for film. These pieces can stand by themselves, but were intended to be play with a cinematic work.

We can't access the play list at the moment, so it is a mystery! You'll have to figure it out on your own.

NO WAVE NO DIEGO DOWN BUT NOT DEAD

Second Viennese School

The Second Viennese School consisted mainly of three composers: Alban Berg, Arnold Schoenberg, and Anton Webern. Schoenberg formally broke down tonality in the Western music and it hasn't been the same since. Thus there are people who find the works of these composers inaccessible (some even call it "not real music"). We think it's great. While tonal music is ultimately predictable, atonal music is always fresh and full of surprises. Here we played some tonal and atonal pieces by these great three.

1. "5 orchestral pieces" - Arnold Schoenberg

2. "Sonata, Op. 1" - Alban Berg

3. "Slow Movement for String Quartet" - Anton Webern

4. "5 Movements for String Quartet" - Anton Webern

5. "Suite for Piano, Op. 25" - Arnold Schoenberg

6. "Piano Quintet" - Anton Webern

7. "5 Lieder on poems, Op. 4" - Anton Webern

8. "5 Movements, Op. 5" - Anton Webern

9. "5 Pieces for Orchestra" - Anton Webern

French Pop

This week we considered French Pop, perhaps the polar opposite of the krautrock. It's great stuff though; simple, catchy, romantic, all the good mushy stuff. Too bad though, because the server got screwed somehow and didn't record the show. Well, here is a play list of what we played. Although No Wave No Diego usually plays music that is on the "cutting edge," we still think a simple good pop melody goes a long way.

1. "Boum!" - Charles Trenet 2. "Alice" - Chat3. "La derive" - Chat4. "Petit con" - Chat 5. "Je te vois" - Chat 6. "Melody" - Serge Gainsbourg 7. "Gloria" - Coralie Clement 8. "Mai 40" - Jacques Brel 9. "Cybele's Reverie" - Stereolab 10."Percolator" - Stereolab 11."Slogan" - Blonde Redhead 12."Faut-il Que Je T'Aime" - France Gall 13."Musique Automatique" - Stereo Total 14."Doigts" - Francoise Hardy 15."Le Forme et le fond" - Keren Ann 16."Paris Combo" - Fibre de Verre 17."Marilou Sous la Neige" - Serge Gainsbourg 18."Si la Photo Est" - Bonne Barbara 19."Cet Air La" - France Gall 20."C'est Pas Faciled'etre une Fille" - France Gall21."La Polka du Roi" - Charles Trenet 22."Des Ronds Dans l'Eau" - Francoise Hardy 23."La Bière" - Jacques Brel 24."Les Bonbons" - Jacques Brel 25."Miss Rebellion des Hormones" - Stereo Total 26."Ballade de Melody Nelson" - Serge Gainsbourg 27."L'illusionniste" - Karen Ann 28."La Vie en Rose" - Edith Piaf
