Ok, I'm neglecting a bit 'this blog. The point is that, although I'm naturally talkative, not finding myself very interesting blog in general, I would like to keep me sober and do not overload on this page of my thoughts, knowing that the average time attention of a man on the internet today is not even enough to enable them to attain at the end, for example, this long sentence of Cicero. A website would be much more comfortable. But since this is a blog, must submit to the dictates of this neo-baroque form that requires the superfluous words.
Which brings us back to one of the main problems that I face now: the image of the choir. I give great importance to visual PRESS but unfortunately money Makes The World Go Round. Without money it is difficult to convince someone a:
- elaborare un logo per il Komos. Ricordo che siamo giunti alla conclusione che dovrebbe rappresentare un fauno danzante, per richiamare il lato dionisiaco della parola Komos, il simbolo nietzschiano della critica alla modernità. Naturalmente i riferimenti grafici possibili sono molteplici: il famoso affiche di Bakst per il Prélude à l'aprés-midi d'un faune di Debussy (da Mallarmé), tutta la produzione vascolare e statuaria greca e romana (la nota statua di Pompei (o Ercolano?)), i fauni di Picasso, ecc...
- elaborare la grafica di una pagina rappresentativa (da inserire nel sito del Cassero)
- fare delle belle foto al coro. Il problema principale è rappresentato dal fatto che l'illuminazione the hall of the bridge is very poor and we do the tests in the evening.
Now I just finished responding to an interview that appears in the January / February of the journal of the bridge. But I'm a bit 'worried about the photos. What we have done so far are all rather disappointing and do not show in any way that chunks of meat are komosnauti (to put it as that goes)! I hope the magazine does not go to press immediately, and there is time next Monday (December 22) to make other pictures, although unfortunately some of the boys there will be more flavorful because they have already gone home for the holidays. But those who are more than enough to satisfy the most discerning palates. The problem will find the appropriate lighting. If any of the (2?) Readers of this blog wants to contribute by bringing the poles, floodlights or the like, please!
For those interested to have news about the music of the choir (this affair in which each side so take care) I will say that we are studying the chorus of pilgrims from Wagner's Tannhäuser and Love Alone of Rorem. Coming to two popular French songs by Francis Poulenc's exquisite pen.
Finally, I am organizing our first concert to be held at the bridge house at some time during the first weeks of March. It will be a celebration a bit 'crazy in which the choir will perform in repertory più eclettico immaginabile e ci saranno degli ospiti molto divertenti (o almeno, spero che possano venire). Vi darò tutti i dettagli quando li saprò.
E quindi devo anche sistemare le faccende economiche, contattare gli sponsor, ecc... Ciò mi ricorda anche che devo nominare un segretario!
