Aquí el video original de Wonderful world, en el que desfilan personalidades políticas -y alguna científica, como Einstein- de los años 60

In the film Witness , appears  this music in this romantic scene:  the character played by Harrison Ford dances with an Amish widow while singing this song. (He has fallen in love with her while hiding from bad guys on her farm.) 

Y aquí la secuencia en la que suena la canción en la inolvidable película de Peter Weir Witness, retitulada en castellano como Único testigo, sirviendo de leit motiv del baile de Harrison Ford y Kelly McGillis, en su papel de la chica amish Rachel. !Esas miradas...! Una de las secuencias más tiernas y amorosas del séptimo arte en una película eterna sobre un paisaje de corrupción y choques culturales y religiosos. Vamos, de plena actualidad.

What a great article I’ve found today from The University of Oxford about singing. Here’s some quotes:

The physiological benefits of singing, and music more generally, have long been explored. Music making exercises the brain as well as the body, but singing is particularly beneficial for improving breathing, posture and muscle tension. Listening to and participating in music has been shown to be effective in pain relief, too, probably due to the release of neurochemicals such as β-endorphin (a natural painkiller responsible for the “high” experienced after intense exercise).
Singing has also been shown to improve our sense of happiness and wellbeing.

First Score of recorder.

I propose an interesting song: Summer in Brazil by E. Huerta. It has a nice melody, is simple to play, the rhythm is catchy, and it serves us to say goodbye to the summer and talk about the summer experiences, especially the musical one.

In groups of 4 invent a body percussion rhytm for this song:

SING EDELWEISS

This song comes from the 1959 Broadway musical The Sound Of Music, which was made into a popular film in 1965.

 In the play, Captain Von Trapp uses it to describe the way he feels about his love for Austria that is slowly dying away due to the Nazis and the Third Reich.

 The song was written by the show's composers, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein.

Viewers also had no idea that it's wasn't Plummer's voice on the song. The plan was to have him sing, but despite lessons he took before filming, his singing voice proved far from film quality (especially when juxtaposed with Julie Andrews) and a professional singer named Bill Lee was brought in to overdub his singing parts.


The lyrics are in the book: page 81

Black Eyed Peas vuelven a preguntarse "Where is the Love?" recordando a Aylan y los conflictos raciales.

Impactados por los atentados del 11 de septiembre de 2001 en Nueva York, la banda de hip hop Black Eyed Peas se preguntaban ¿Dónde está el amor? en el que fue el lanzamiento que les consagró ante las masas en el año 2003. Where is the love regresa 13 años después, en forma de canción solidaria y con otra producción, como respuesta del grupo a la oleada de violencia y conflicto que vive el mundo en los últimos tiempos.

El tema parece ser tan popular como lo fue en su día; y los problemas que denunciaban en sus rimas, tanto o más intenso de lo que lo eran entonces. En sus siete primeras horas de publicación, el vídeo promocional roza los 3 millones de reproducciones.

En esta nueva grabación, rodada en blanco y negro , se muestran icónicas imágenes que han sido noticia recientemente, como la imagen del cadáver de Aylan Kurdi, el niño sirio fallecido hace justo un año en las costas de Turquía, los conflictos raciales en Baton Rougue (Estados Unidos) y el intento de golpe de estado en Turquía.
