Kimmy Skota ♫ Casta Diva ♫ André Rieu

Kimmy Skota
André Rieu

"Casta Diva"
Aria from the Opera Norma by Bellini

Casta Diva, che inargenti
Queste sacre antiche piante
A noi volgi il bel sembiante
Senza nube e senza vel
Tempra, o Diva
Tempra tu de cori ardenti
Tempra ancora lo zelo audace
Spargi in terra quella pace
Che regnar tu fai nel ciel

Norma, the head priestess, leads her people in a mesmerising prayer to the goddess of the moon ('Casta diva' translates as 'chaste goddess').

It's an exquisite example of the 'bel canto' style and is also, famously, one of the most challenging pieces ever written for soprano: it requires both a delicately flexible voice, for those vocal fireworks, but also a strong and powerful instrument over a large range of notes.

How To End 🍎The Food Waste Fiasco 🌱

How To End
🍏 The Food Waste Fiasco 🍎

  Rob Greenfield

The amount of  food we waste every year is absurd.

Special thanks to TED.

There are millions around the world who don’t know where their next meal will come from. Rob is on a mission to solve this problem. We can all easily be a part of the solution… and it starts with a dumpster.

TEDxTeen opening music by BlackDoe

Rob is an adventurer, activist, and dude making a difference. His purpose is to inspire health, happiness, and freedom on Earth and he’s dedicated his life to this mission. He has cycled across the United States, twice, on a bamboo bicycle, went 1,000 days without showering, and has dove into thousands of dumpsters across America, all to inspire positive social and environmental change. When not out adventuring he lives off the grid in a fifty-square-foot tiny home in San Diego. His extreme adventures and activism campaigns may appear unattainable at first glance but within them are an abundance of simple lessons and tips that can be adapted into any life to live with more happiness, health, and freedom.

Food Waste
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
(HBO)

Producers, sellers, and consumers waste tons of food. John Oliver discusses the shocking amount of food we don’t eat.

Food Waste: Breaking the habit
Fiona Jongejans
TEDxMaastricht

It may sound almost ridiculous, but that doesn’t make it less true. While 4.6 billion euros worth of food is thrown away in the Netherlands every year, 1.4 million people in our country live below the poverty line and cannot afford a sufficiently healthy diet. [Filmed at TEDxMaastricht]

Educated as industrial designer, Fiona Jongejans believes that design and creativity can play a bigger role in our society today. It can be a catalyst for social innovation and bring people and organizations together. This year, she decided to put her energy into one of the many challenges our society is currently facing. 
Fiona Jongejans has set herself the goal of bridging the gap between food waste and food poverty. She argues that we must shorten the distance between producer and consumer in order to give back value to our food and by doing so, to enhance the sustainability of our food chain. The real cure to the problem of food waste is to reconsider our behavior as consumers: by changing the way we buy, plan and cook our meals.

Together with three other young entrepreneurs, Fiona Jongejans has set up the SUR+ project, an online platform aiming to connect local food banks and fruit and vegetable farmers in a very simple and low threshold manner.

Today I Learned (TIL)
We Waste One-Third of Food Worldwide

When you were a kid, your mom probably made you stay at the dinner table until you finished your peas. Most of us eventually gave in, swallowing the evil little green bits like pills with milk. It was torture at the time, but mom had the right idea—and not just because peas are good for you.

Incredibly Dramatic Final Works By Composers ♫

Most Incredibly Dramatic
Final Works
By Composers

Mozart on his deathbed

Not all composers benefit from having their last works be masterworks. But a number have been able to create profound and lasting artistic statements in the final pieces they wrote before they died, a correlation that music historian Jan Swafford has explored.  These five works all show their composers at the height of their powers, even though they all would pass on shortly thereafter.

Mozart’s Requiem is perhaps the most renowned work—not solely in classical music—but among all artist endeavors that was partially written in a deathbed. The circumstances surrounding the work are almost as famous at the music itself: A cloaked, mysterious stranger offered Mozart the commission on the behalf of an anonymous patron. However, while Mozart was composing the piece, the work seems to have become more and more about its author facing his last days. Upon its premiere, the Requiem appeared under the name of the man who commissioned it, Count Franz von Walsegg, but several years later, Constanze Mozart convinced him to give credit to the true composer. Walsegg called it Mozart’s swan song.

2. Bela Bartok: Piano Concerto No. 3

News of Bela Bartok’s failing health had spread through music circles when Serge Koussevitzky commissioned him to write what would become his great Concerto for Orchestra. However, the final piece Bartok’s wrote was the Third Piano Concerto, which he composed during the summer of 1945, while he was hospitalized with the final stages of leukemia. He was able to finish all but the last 17 bars before he died on September 27 of that year. The work was intended as a present to his wife Ditta, who was, like her husband, an esteemed pianist.

3.  Richard Strauss: Last Four Songs

Richard Strauss may not have intended his Last Four Songs to be the final four works that he would write, even though three of the four deal explicitly with death and he was in his mid-80s at the time. He composed them individually. The first three, Frühling, September, Beim Schlafengehen, are based on poems by Herman Hesse. The fourth Im Abendrot uses a Joseph von Eichendorff text. Written one year before he died in 1949, they were titled, published and premiered with Kristen Flagstad and the Philharmonia Orchestra in London, all posthumously.

4. Pergolesi: Stabat Mater

Giovani Battista Pergolesi was already in poor health when he was commissioned to write his Stabat Mater. However, his condition worsened in as he worked on the score. In 1736, suffering from what appears to have been tuberculosis, Pergolesi moved into a Fransican monastery outside of Naples. He successfully completed the score, but died only weeks later at the age of 26. In death, the composer achieved greater fame, says Baroque music specialist Simon Heighes: "Just when everyone realised what a good thing he was... it was too late.”

5.  Schubert: Winterreise

Franz Schubert was confined to his bed, dying of what probably was syphilis when he began correcting the proofs of the second book of his song cycle Winterreise. He began composing the piece, a set of 24 songs that narrate a man’s journey outside on a cold wintry night, toward his eventual death, just over a year earlier and the first book of 12 songs had been published. But the second dozen songs, which contain the most chilling moments, such as the final “Der Leiermann” were published posthumously.

Comments
Les from Miami, Florida
I've always been curious about what revisions as well as the order of the acts Offenbach would have made had he lived long enough to see "Les Contes D'Hoffman", "The Tales of Hoffman", staged. I also agree wholeheartedly with the works chosen, as well as "Turandot" and "Quattro Pezzi Sacri".

The Verdi For Sacred Pieces are unsurpassed.
Apr. 11 2014 10:11 AM  Rick O'CONNELL from Queens NY

To me the hands down winner is Bizet's final piece Carmen, especially given its author's youth and the status of the piece as one of the greatest operas ever written
Apr. 10 2014 09:08 PM  Carol Luparella from Elmwood Park, NJ

Bruckner's 9th Symphony.  Apr. 10 2014 07:38 PM  Jamie from Brooklyn

While I don't object to any of your choices, the first example that came to mind of a towering masterpiece left incomplete at the composer's death was Berg's Lulu.
Apr. 10 2014 05:01 PM  Robert St.Onge from Cochiti Lake,NM

Two works come to mind: Puccini's 'Turandot' which was left unfinshed but which did stop at the section of the death of Liu; and the final work of Brahms, the 'Chorale Preludes, Op. 122, the last of which is entitled "O Welt, ich muss dich lassen" (O world, I must leave you).  Apr. 10 2014 04:45 PM
