Steemit Open Mic Week 134. “Oginski's Polonaise”/"Farewell to Homeland" // "Полонез Огинского"/"Прощание с Родиной". By @alexbiojs
English
Good day, people.
This is my first contribution to Open Mic contest and my first video ever uploaded to somewhere.
Today I present you quite famous “Oginski's Polonaise”.
It was written by Polish composer Michał Kleofas Oginski (1765 – 1833) in 1794.
Polonaise is
a slow dance of Polish origin in triple time, consisting chiefly of an intricate march or procession
[Oxford Dictionary of English, 3rd Edition © Oxford University Press 2010]
As a genre it’s known beginning from the XVIIth century.
They believe that Oginski wrote it while leaving Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, that’s why it’s also known as "Farewell to Homeland".
The word “polonaise” originates from the French word “polonais” which means “Polish”.
It was considered as one of the possible options for the national anthem of Belorussia.
The fragment of the sixth bar of "Farewell to Homeland" is shown on the Belorussian bank note (50 roubles).
Thanks to all the people who help to organize Open Mic contest.
Russian
Доброго дня, народ.
Это мой первый вклад в конкурс Open Mic и мое первое видео, закачанное куда-либо.
Сегодня я представляю вам довольно известный "Полонез Огинского".
Он был написан польским композитором Михаилом Огинским (1765 – 1833 гг.) в 1794 году.
Полонез -
Торжественный бальный танец-шествие трёхдольного размера, происшедший от польского народного танца
[Большой толковый словарь русского языка © С.А. Кузнецов, 2010]
В качестве жанра известен с XVII столетия.
Считается, что это произведение было написано композитором, когда он покидал Речь Посполитую, почему оно также известно как "Прощание с Родиной".
Слово "полонез" происходит от французского слова "polonais", что означает "польский".
Это сочинение рассматривалось в качестве одного из вариантов для государственного гимна Белоруссии.
Фрагмент шестого такта изображен на белорусской банкноте (номиналом 50 рублей).
Спасибо всем, кто помогает организовать конкурс Open Mic.

Muy bella melodía, magnificos matices, felicidades...
gracias,
I like your works/music on Steemit too )
hi.
Seems like the link above (Luzcypher's Announcement For Steem Witness) is incorrect 'cos it contains "center" tag at the end ...luzcypher-s-announcement-for-steem-witness</center.. -> so we get "Sorry! This page doesn't exist." message visiting that.
this is just for your information.
Thanks for the contest, support and all you work.
If you have some time, could you, please, explain me why participants of this contest are allowed to make cover versions of compositions/songs of other people. According to materials I found on the Web people need to get permission / license before performing any others' people works/compositions (and uploading them to YouTube) (especially when there're monetary rewards). Do all users on Steemit who participate in this contest and perform covers really get permission/license from quite busy people like Lady Gaga. Or maybe I just don't understand something and we really can freely make covers of any compositions without asking any permissions?
Please note, that I don't have anything against covers (I myself would like to present some) but I really would wanna know why exactly users here are allowed to do this (cover versions).
A big misconception about copyrighting your music has to do with granting permission. If you have a copyrighted work that has never been published before then yes, an artist, producer, publisher, or record company needs your permission to use your song. Once your song has been published, however, they do not need your permission to use it as long as they pay you the required royalty.
Sites like YouTube have to cover their ass by making policies like they do because they have money and are therefore a target of lawsuits.
Posting your performance of another's song is permissible on YT as long as the monetization is disabled. Steem is not technically money as defined by law so they don't have that exposure.
In fact, you can release a CD with anyone's previously published music on it without asking permission as long as you pay them the royalty. You can read more on this on my post Music Creators Guide To Royalties, And Recording Contracts
I the case of Steemit no artist is going to come after you for covering their song. If by some miracle a performance covering another artist and posted to Steemit were to go viral then a music attorney could and probably would seek compensation, but that is very unlikely to happen otherwise.
People can perform any song they want in a nightclub without paying royalties. That's why we have cover bands and street performers. Only when substantial amounts of money enter the equation would compensation be expected.
thank you very much for all this information/explanation and this contest )
Wow! I was not expecting a scientist to be strumming a guitar beautifully. Science and art together. Rare but certainly great combination! Not to mention that playing the guitar is my frustration. I was desparate to learn but I guess music doesn't like me.
music likes everyone )
It would be interesting to know for me what musical instruments are the most popular in Philippines.
As for Russia/Ukraine, the most popular musical instruments here are piano, guitar, violin, bayan/accordion and balalaika (to my knowledge).
Are there any unusual musical instruments in Philippines?
Do musicians play on streets in Philippines?
Guitar is one thing for sure that is widely used in the Philippines. Piano could be one but not so common. Others are usually only those who have bands who would usually have the drums and cymbals.
I know about ganza and sulibao as instruments in different provinces but I don't think these are unusual to our country. I see on TV that other Asian countries are using them, or at least the ganza. Try to google what these are and tell me what you think.
Oh well, I have seen a few musicians who play music along the streets. Others would be beggars, I have to admit.
thanks for sharing.
as for ganza and sulibao, I remembered that in Russia I saw once on the street quite unusual band of foreigners who were playing something like ganza and sulibao (and other instruments), but I'm not sure 100% that they played ganza and sulibao. Now I realized that they most likely were Filipinos. And I also have seen something like ganza and sulibao on TV.
