[1457]
{D Well, } {F uh, } what is your favorite kind of music? /
WMN: 3962-0_3962-19
Dialogue: 3962-0
[1468]
{D Well, } I have to say my favorite type of music would probably be, {F uh, } classical music. /
[1457]
{F Oh, } same here. /
[1468]
{F Oh, } really. /
[1457]
Yeah. /
[1468]
What type of music do you like in the classical area, /{C or } what [ era <
[1457]
{F Oh, } {D well, } I guess I like a wide range. {F Uh, } everything [ from, + {F uh, } from ] Baroque through at least some modern music. /
[1468]
Uh-huh. /
[1457]
{C And } my wife and I these days are especially into opera. /We've been sort of opera fans for a few years now. /
[1468]
{F Um, } do you go to the operas that they sing English or go to the ones that they sing other languages? /
[1457]
{D Well, } we, {F uh, } generally, - /the places we've gone they sing in the original languages. /
[1468]
Uh-huh. /
[1457]
Like the Dallas opera here normally does, I guess. /
[1468]
Uh-huh. /[ I, + I ] haven't gotten into that too much because, [ I, + {F uh, } if I ] don't know the story line and, {F um, } I don't speak the language, then I have difficult time, comprehending what's going on. /
[1457]
{D Well, } one thing that's helped us a lot is that, {F uh, } [ you, + {D you know, } you ] can buy a lot of these operas now on [ video casse-, + {F uh, } video tape -- ] /
[1468]
Uh-huh. /
[1457]
-- {C and so } we have quite a collection of those, /{C and } you watch them at home, /{C and } they have subtitles, /{C so } [ you, + you ] figure out what's going on after a while, /{C and then } you can enjoy it in the, {F uh, } theater. /
[1468]
Oh. /
[1457]
{C But, } {D you know, } the, {F uh, } Dallas opera now has, {F uh, } super titles [ on, + on ] all their performances I think. /
[1468]
What is that? /
[1457]
{D Well, } [ they, + they ] give [ an, + {F uh, } an ] English translation [ on a, + on a ] screen up above the stage. /
[1468]
{F Oh, } I didn't know that. /
[1457]
Yeah. /
[1468]
That can help people like me. /
[1457]
[1468]
[1457]
[1468]
Vivaldi is probably my favorite, {F uh, } composer. /
[1457]
Yeah, /{D well, } I really like Vivaldi. /{F Uh, } he's, {F uh, } definitely [ one of the, + one of the ] top of that era. /
[1468]
Yeah. /I like Baroque music, /
[1457]
[1468]
I like full body music, {F uh, } [ with the, + {F um, } {F um, } with ] brass and winds, woodwinds, instruments, # {D you know. } # /
[1457]
# Uh-huh. # /
[1468]
Course I like, {F uh, } also string instruments, /{C and } I have two string instruments in my house. {F Uh, } instrument players, /both my sons play string instruments. /One plays the cello /{C and } the other one plays the viola. /
[1457]
Oh
[1468]
{C So, } I get to go to at least four or five concerts a year
[1457]
Uh-huh. /[ How, + how ] old are they? /
[1468]
One is thirteen and one is eleven. /
[1457]
{C So } they're doing this in school, or what? /
[1468]
Yes. /
[1457]
Uh-huh. /
[1468]
Yes (( )) . /
[1457]
{D Well, } you've got half a string quartet there. /
[1468]
Yeah. /We're on our way. /
[1457]
Yeah. /
[1468]
{C So, } {F uh, } {F um, } I try to enjoy all of it. /
[1457]
{D Well, } since you seem to like, {F uh, } Italian music, have you ever, {F uh, } gotten into Gabrielli or anybody there in that era, the, {F uh, } period right before, actually before Vivaldi, I guess? /
[1468]
{F Um, } a little bit, /{C but, } {F um, } a lot of the, {F um, } music I don't know about, {F uh, } as far as the titles, /{C and } I have to listen to it, [ and -- +
[1457]
Uh-huh. /
[1468]
-- and ] figure out,
[1457]
[1468]
what I'm listening to. - /{F Um, } I do belong to a Musical Heritage Society. /
[1457]
{F Oh, } yes, /uh-huh. /
[1468]
Do you belong to that? /
[1457]
No, /I don't, /{C but } I think I know what it is. /Isn't that a, {F uh, } {F uh, } {D see, } - /can't you get records through that or something, recordings? /
[1468]
You can get recordings. /{F Uh, } they know have them on compact disc [ [ or -- +
[1457]
Uh-huh. /
[1468]
-- or, ] + {F uh, } or ] cassettes or L P -s, /{C and, } {F uh, } [ they do their, + they do ] a lot of original recordings themselves. /
[1457]
Yes, /yeah, /I think, {F uh. } /
[1468]
{C But } [ they also, + {F uh, } they also, ] {F uh, } go to the different composers, or the different, I guess, - /what do you call them
[1457]
{F Uh. } /
[1468]
-- [ the con-, + the conductors. ] /
[1457]
{F Uh, } yes, /right
[1468]
Yeah. /They go to conductors, {F uh, } /[ {C and, } + {C and } ] they actually have them perform the music, /{C and } they record it. /
[1457]
{C So, } they're actually commissioned performances. /
[1468]
Sure. /A lot of them are. /
[1457]
Uh-huh. /
[1468]
{C Or } they will [ kno-, +
[1457]
[1468]
find ] out when they're performing, /{C and } they will, {F uh, } record the music at that time. /{C And so, } {F uh, } it is, {F uh, } {F uh, } high quality grade music, /{C and, } of course, now [ they're getting, + they also have ] a jazz section, /{C and } they also have a, {F uh, } more contemporary and American --
[1457]
Uh-huh. /
[1468]
-- {F uh, } composer section. /
[1457]
{D Well, } I had [ go-, + heard good ] things about the, {F uh, } Music Heritage Society, /{C but } if I get involved in one of those things, I end up spending all my money [ on -- +
[1468]
[1457]
-- on ] music. /
[1468]
{D Well, } you can control it. /
[1457]
I [ almost, + {F uh, } almost, ] {F uh, } bankrupted myself out of college as a freshman when I got into the Columbia Record Club many years ago. /
[1468]
{F Oh, } really. /
[1457]
Yeah, /my roommate signed me up. /He got a bonus record, /{C and } I got a lot of bills
[1468]
I see. /
[1457]
{C So } we have to watch that. /
[1468]
{D Well, } that's good. /
[1457]
{F Uh, } do you play any instrument yourself? /
