...This is a truly great work.  When I place it into Tuchuk life...I imagine the 1st riding out towards a great battle.  You can hear the steps of the kaiila.  A young Warrior (Violas) then sings to His Companion...singing His love for her...and that He may not come back.  She (Violins) sings back to Him, of her love for Him...and her pride.   :'(   I have played the cello several times in this work, and just played the walking kaiila.  At times like that...I wished that I played the violin.   :-\

...When Izee' and her children had been left at a fort by Ragnar for a while, Stefan and Katniss raised some money to feed the family by performing instruments that Izee' had 'liberated'... ::)

...Izee' had been lured out of the Forests, and had been Companioned.  She gave birth to Tristan in the slums of Turia, her Companion had left, and she was destitute.  She sings this to Tristan when he was young, to make sure that he knows that he is protected.  As he grew up, he saw her act as she promised, when she protected him and his brothers and sisters.  Later...when he grew up...he sang a similar song to her...to comfort her, and let her know that she would always have a Protector.   :)

...Izee' gets pissed off at Aslaug, and yells at her...Izee's other daughters stay silent... >:(

...This aria amazes me...the 'bell-like' intervals of the non-verbal part is astonishing...only a gifted soprano can sing them...and I bet that she has to practice them very hard.   :)

...Oh...Aslaug apologized at breakfast...and Izee' just gave her a blank look.   ???  Izee' had been drinking "Old Yesterday' with Ciel the night before.    :P

...Orneryness is inherited...NO DOUBT!!!   :o  Earlier this year, my Sister flew to Kansas, and she and I flew back to CA, leaving ALL of my stuff behind.   :(  My daughter and her husband volunteered to fly to Kansas, and drive my SUV back, along with my two cellos and my gamba.  All three of the instruments are in 'hard cases', and the gamba is just a little smaller than a cello.  It took them 4 days, they just took their leisure, and stopped many times to see historical sites.  My daughter had fun when they checked into a hotel... :)...she would strap the gamba to her back, and carry a cello in each hand...her husband carried their luggage.  People would stare at them, and ask if they were musicians.  They would nod, and say that they were traveling to give a concert.  Once they made up 'Russian' accents, and said that they were with the Moscow Philarmonic.   ::)  Anyway, here is what it is like to travel with just ONE cello.   ::)

...Johanna and her sisters sing this to their brothers, and to Tristans' Orlu...

https://youtu.be/JT435mVbZsQ

...Later, Tristan and His Orlu sing it as they get ready for battle...

...At the recent battle with the Kassar, the 1st Oralu was briefly  holding a defensive action against the Kassar, so that the wagons with our supplies and children could get further away.  The Ubar stood on the stirrups of His kaiila for an ehn, looking over the battleground...and saw an opening!  He shouted and made signals to the Orluman of the 7th!  Tristan heard and saw the Order and Signals, and led His Orlu to the right, and they raced their kaiila down a depressed area, and then emerged at the flank of the Kassar!  Tristan had understood the Order...and He led His Orlu straight into the Kassar...and they did NOT STOP!  They rode their kaiila into the Kassar, and did NOT slow down!  They trampled infantry and fought mounted warriors as they continued their charge.   >:(  The Kassar were disrupted...and Ragnar ordered the 3rd and the 5th to attack the opening that the 7th had created!  The Kassar were further disrupted...and the Ubar gave His feral grin as He ordered the remaining Orlumen to ATTACK!...and the Ubar LEAD THE ATTACK!  There were not many of the 1st left alive after the battle...but there were even LESS left of the THREE Kassar Oralus.

...This is a truly lovely Chinese concerto, featuring the ErHu.   :)  I studied the ErHu with a Caucasian violinist, but I never got close to this level of skill.   :-[  I got two of my friends to also study with the violinist, and we behaved badly.   ::)  He said that we could just refer to the instruments as 'Hooos'...and, of course, we would always cut up with silly questions like..."Who's on 1st?"...and he would YELL at us!  :o  This concerto, "The Butterfly Lovers", is based on an old Chinese legend.  A young woman wanted to study and learn, but Chinese women weren't allowed to do that.  So, she disguised herself as a man, and went to a school to study.  She became friends with a Chinese man, and fell in love with him...but she couldn't let him know that 'He' was a woman.  So, she invited him to visit her village, and he could meet her sister, and they could marry.   The young man traveled, and met her, she had taken off the disguise, and fell in love.  But, her Father had already bethrowed her to another man, and...his heart broken...he died.  As she was on her way to the wedding ceremony, a wind kicked up, and they all had to stop.  She saw that it was near his grave, and she went to it to pay her respects, and begged to be with him again.  The earth opened...and she fell in...and died...and...two butterflies emerged from the grave and flew away...together.   :)

I can't do this one with a straight face. Sounds like the tunage playing the last time I took woobie to the oriental buffet for chow.

...*Stands....hands on hips...*   :o  Bro, are you telling me that you only take Woobs to a Chinese BUFFET?????  I mean, my Ex used to take me to places like 'The Empress of Li Hung Lo', and order food that they BROUGHT to us ON PLATES!  (Some of it did look VERY scary, and I ate it...but I never asked, later...what it was.)   :P   But, thinking of it, when I was in school, my friends and I would go to a Chinese buffet and just GORGE!!!!   ;D   Once, my Sorority made a reservation to eat at a Chinese buffet, and they put us in a back room.   :)   We ate ALL of the food that they placed in our room...and then we went out and ate most of the food in the public area.  I was Treasurer of the Sorority...and I had quite an argument with the Owner of the Buffet.  I almost 'went Panther'...but I wrote him another check...but NOT for what he wanted.   ::)  Well, just so that you will know that I am not angry at you...Lancer and I will sing this love song for you and Woobs... ;)

...I have been GUILTY of ALL of these...except leaving the pit...the cello usually doesn't rest very long.   :P  * I also have to add one...fighting with the VIOLIST!!! >:(  I brought in a pad of 'yellow stickies'...and between the songs...I would write an insulting message on one...and lean over and stick it on her music!  I timed it as we were being cued in...and she would have to look at it until she could turn her page!!! ;D  The next performance...she brought in her own pad!!!  And retaliated!!!  We went back and forth, placing 'stickies ' on each others music.   ::)  Ahhh...The conductor called us aside after that performance...and simply said..."CUT IT OUT!!!!"   >:(   We did... ::)

...Just to add to the above...the violist KICKED MY ASS in that contest!   :o  In one song, I had a solo with the baritone in a very soft, yearning song.   :)  He is sitting alone...on stage...looking to his right...and singing of what he needs to do.  Just the strings are playing, very softly, and I am playing the cello in the pit, gently accompanying him...actually 'being' the person that he is singing to.  The violist leaned over, and stuck a 'yellow sticky' on the side of my music as I started my solo!   :o  I won't repeat what she had written...but I was gritting my teeth so hard...squinting my eyes...and CLENCHING my bow...I was doing EVERYTHING I could think of to just not start LAUGHING!!!! :o  After my solo, I just leaned into my cello, my left hand over my mouth...I was laughing so hard...!!!   :o  Luckily, the brass had taken over, and drowned out my improvised 'aria'.   ::)  It was after THAT performance when the Conductor called the two of us to the side, and simply said..."CUT IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!"   >:(

...A  REALLY cute video.  IMHO...the French Horn is ALMOST as majestic as the cello.   :)   Also, Marcus and Izee' briefly appear in this.
