Par L'ESTRANGE ALEXANDER (Arr.). When Cecil Sharp transcribed O Waly Waly in 1908, it bore this title but did not contain the title words (beginning instead with ‘Down in the meadows’). It has been suggested since that the version we know now may be a composite of three songs: the Scottish ‘Waly waly’ (meaning ‘a cry of woe or grief’), the Cecil Sharp transcript and an American song, The water is …

Par CZERNY KARL. Carl Czerny (1791-1857), compositeur et pianiste viennois, produisit un nombre remarquable de partitions.

Par CHYRZYNSKI MARCEL. In 2017, after my monographic concert organised by the Polish Music Center in Los Angeles, I hired a car and drove to Las Vegas. However, I didn’t take the interstate highway, the quickest and most used road, but followed an acquaintance’s advice and headed up the picturesque old route through the Mojave Desert formed partly by the famous Route 66. The Mojave Desert made an …
