Gaspard of the Night, No. 1: OndineMaurice Ravel
If you’re well-versed in French literature, the title Gaspard de la nuit might remind you of the poetry collection by Louis Bertrand, born in 19th-century France.
The work discussed here, however, is Maurice Ravel’s suite for solo piano of the same name, which was indeed inspired by three poems included in Bertrand’s collection.
Of the three pieces, let’s introduce the first, Ondine, as it suits the theme of music to hear in the hot summer.
“Ondine” is the name of the water spirit among the four classical elemental spirits, and in Japan the name “Undine” may be more familiar.
When it comes to Ravel’s water-themed piano works, one might think of Jeux d’eau, but this Ondine is a piece you should definitely know.
It depicts the story of Ondine, who falls in love with a human, and—through Ravel’s characteristic, highly sophisticated technique—delicately yet dramatically expresses both the emotions of the spirit whose love is unfulfilled and the image of pouring, torrential rain.
Logos of the DawnMay’n
It is the second opening theme of the anime Aquarion Logos.
Sung so that deep feelings and hidden passion overflow in the chorus, this song is a must-listen even for those who aren’t interested in Aquarion Logos.
Ready, set, go!Mr.Children
This is a song that was used as the ending theme in fiscal year 2005.
It is included on Mr.Children’s single “Yon-Jigen Four Dimensions.” While the sound alone gives a refreshing impression, a closer look at the lyrics reveals emotions akin to the poignancy of contemplating the transition from childhood to adulthood.
With words that symbolize childlike qualities appearing throughout, the song also seems to portray the confusion of someone in the midst of growing up, bewildered by their own changes.
It carries a mysterious atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and bittersweet.
People crossing the crosswalkMr.Children
The so-called “legendary hidden gem” The People Crossing the Crosswalk.
It’s a song that focuses on crosswalks we usually pass by without a second thought, singing about the human stories we witness there.
It’s included as the second track on the single GIFT, released in 2010.
The highest note that appears in this song is G4—quite low by Mr.
Children’s standards.
In terms of range, it’s a very singable song.
The challenging part lies in the rhythm and delivery.
If you’re not used to a spoken, narrative style of singing, you might find it difficult.
The key to handling the verse sections, which are particularly wordy, is to approach them as if you’re speaking rather than “singing.” If you try to belt it, your voice may become too loud, or you might struggle to keep up with the speed of the lyrics.
Sing with the gentle feeling of speaking to someone.
