I argue with her that most listeners, even experts, generally could not correctly guess the composers programme for most tone poems, symphonies etc.
Have you ever played a piece for someone and they correctly guessed the programme? Eg-Play La Mer and they guessed that it depicts the Ocean?My mother in law said she would have identfied what La Mer depicted without reading the programme in advance.?
I don't think anyone could identify it either. If Debussy had claimed that it represented something entirely different I doubt that anyone would ever question it. My mother in law said she would have identfied what La Mer depicted without reading the programme in advance.?
La Mer and other tone poems have been so ripped off over the years, especially for film, and cartoons, that we have those visual associations with the COPIES -so when we hear the original, we go AHAH! Less-popular tone poems, or those with more arcane association, would of course be harder. But those gushing, flowing effects - pretty easy one. Think of Great Gate at Kiev - sounds like something bag, massive, formidable - power, army, stone - but that is another easy one.
Think Planets - then all the outer-space things that John Williams wrote. Or Copland - Appalachian Spring - and then all the Marlboro-man westerns and their music. It goes on and on . . .
Mother in laws are a world of their own. Mine guesses much worse than yours despite she lives averagely 6,000 miles off.
But your question is a can of worms: it's the basic point of program music. Rimski-Korsakov was climbing mirrors to deny he was programmatic when he wrote Sheherazade, as if he was ashame of that potent masterpiece: and, yes, my younger brother guessed that powerful theme was a ship at sea. I as a child took the omnipotent flow of Moldau for the description of heavy peasants' works. Our teacher was fighting hard with the two entwined themes of Borodin's Steppes. It's not always that easy.
Is program music music at all ? Would Bach accept all those storms Rossini, Verdi and the guys put in their operas ? And, as raindrops keep falling on our head, isn't there one thing called painting for that ?
One of my favorite painters, Lorenzo Lotto, XVI century, depicts St. Nick taken up to heaven while the sky is divided into a wonderful venetian blue and a stormy cloud pushed off by sea wind. That's descriptive. Or you prefer Toys Symphony ?
Just by the title, sure.

http://www.cremedelamer.com/templates/products/sp_nonshaded.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY5782%26amp;PRODUCT_ID=PROD13083

Well, yeah, it's supposed to be the best there is, but you seriously gotta be loaded to afford that stuff.
:)I'm 17 yrs old.. is it okay to use la mer products?
I've heard that the sooner isn't the better... I don't know. It seems that using it when you're this young wouldn't do anything (at least anything super noticable)
it is not that you are 17 year old or 25 year year old the only thing is that you need experience about it
the sooner the better !!!

Proper warming technique for Creme de la Mer application?
I did a lot of googling on the proper technique for using Creme de la Mer. Most people say to use a tiny amount (half a pea size) and rub vigorously between the hands for several seconds before dabbing on the face.
The problem is, when I rub for a few seconds, the cream disappears as it is sucked up my the skin in my hands. Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to use massive amounts because it is so expensive, but I also don't want to apply it incorrectly and end up breaking out.
I was thinking about microwaving a spoonful in an empty lip balm tub and using that for a week so that I don't have to waste time in the morning.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone has a youtube link with a visual tutorial, please share. Thanks a lot!Proper warming technique for Creme de la Mer application?
Do not put that product in a microwave, the radiation will turn the positive ions in the product negative and you will loose some of the effectiveness the product.
You can either make a double boiler to heat it. Using a metal ramekin a pea size drop of the cream in then float the ramekin in a glass bowl full of hot water. After about a minute it will heat the metal ramekin and the product. You can buy these ramekins at Ikea, and kitchen stores.
If your going to warm it in your hands only put it on your finger tips and backs. They are less absorbentant than the palms of your hands. Warm it up there and you won't loose much of the product.ayouts for music myspace

Lyrics for Charles Trenet's ';La Mer';--translate to English?
Any French-speakers able to give me an English translation of Trenet's beautiful chanson, ';La Mer';? (NOT looking for the American re-written version titled ';Beyond the Sea';
La mer
Qu'on voit danser le long des golfes clairs
A des reflets d'argent
La mer
Des reflets changeants
Sous la pluie
La mer
Au ciel d'ete comfond
Ses blanc moutons
Avec les anges si purs
La mer bergere d'azur
Infinie
Voyez
Pres des etangs
Ces grand roseaux moillies
Voyez
Ces oiseaux blancs
Et ce maisons rouillees
La mer
Les a berces
Le long des golfes clairs
Et d'une chanson d'amour
La mer
(the Google automatic ';translation'; makes no sense--can you help?--Thanks!Lyrics for Charles Trenet's ';La Mer';--translate to English?
Tried this once - didn't work. French is not my thing, but this translation is a start.
The sea
which one sees dancing along the clear gulfs (bays)
to gleams of silver.
The sea
Of changing reflections
Under the rain.
The sea
Confuses (confonde) the summer sky's sheep (fleece? cloud metaphor?)
With angels so pure,
The sea
Shepherd of blue infinity.
Look!
Next to the ponds
Those tall wet reeds.
Look!
Those white birds
And those rusty (? red) houses
The Sea
Has cradled them
Along the clear gulfs.
The Sea
Has cradled my heart for life.

Has anyone tried LA MER facial cream? Was it good,?
did you see any changes in your skin? What?Has anyone tried LA MER facial cream? Was it good,?
It's a great generic moisturizer but here is an industry tip a little goes a long way so buy the eye cream instead of the moisturizer. It's the same product and you will save 60 bucks. Then ask for samples of the face cream and you'll be set.
Cheers!

10 Points to the first complete French to English Translation
On ne choisit ni son origine, ni sa couleur de peau
Comme on r锚ve d'une vie de ch芒teau, quand on vit le ghetto
Na卯tre l'茅tau autour du cou comme Cosette pour Hugo
Etre en treillis dans le conflit et prier le Tr猫s Haut.
Fils du C.O.N.G.O. cette haine j'ai au
M.I.C.R.O. j'ai l'poids des mots
Sortir d'en bas, r锚ver de d茅chirer ce tableau
Fait d'armes, de larmes
Fait de sang et sanglots.
Face 脿 la mer
J'aurais d没 grandir
Face contre terre
J'aurais pu mourir
Je me rel猫ve
Je prends mon dernier r锚ve
Tous deux la m锚me dalle
Et tous deux d茅莽us
Je prends mon dernier r锚ve
La s猫cheresse sur une terre o霉 on ne cesse de semer
Tristesse dans des yeux qui ne peuvent pleurer
J'ai beaucoup de r锚ves lointains, je me suis tant rebell茅
J'ai bu beaucoup de baratin et 莽a m'a trop saoul茅.
Dans la vie y a les tapes au fond et les tapes 脿 c么t茅
Les ';t'as pas un euro ?'; ou la tape 脿 l'arrach茅e
Y a l'Etat, les R.M.istes, leTranslation of ';Face a la mer'; - Passi?
No one chooses where they're from, nor the colour of their skin,
As one dreams of a fancy life while they live in the ghetto,
Being born already trapped, as Cosette was to Hugo (form the book ';Les mis茅rables'; by Victor Hugo)
Being dressed with military trousers among the war, and preying for the Lord above.
Son of C.O.N.G.O, I have this hate at the M.I.C.R.Ophone, I know what the words mean,
Leaving the lower-class, dreaming about tearing this picture
made of tears, of weapons,
of blood and sobs.
In front of the sea,
I should have grown up
In front of the ground,
I could have died
I'm getting up,
I'm taking my ultimate dream.
Both the same hunger (slang)
and both disappointed
I'm taking my ultimate dream.
The drought on an earth where we never stop sowing on.
Sadness in eyes which can not cry
I have a lot of far-away dreams, and I rebelled so much
I drank so many lies and they got me drunk too much. (playword with ';drunk';, which is used to say that you drank too much alcohol as in English, or figurate, that you're fed up with something)
In life, there are the (i don't know what he means here, I don't understand this slang)
The ';do you have one euro?';, or the stolen in the street
There is the State, the RMIstes (the RMI is the money the State gives to people over 25 who don't have any other income, the RMIstes are the people who get it).Translation of ';Face a la mer'; - Passi?
It does not choose its origin, nor his skin color
As we dream of a life of the castle, when we saw the ghetto
Born the stranglehold around the neck as Cosette for Hugo
Being in fatigues in the conflict and request the Most High.
Son of C.O.N.G.O. I hate to
M.I.C.R.O. I have the weight of words
Exit from below, dreaming of tearing this table
Done in arms, tears
Made with blood and tears.
Facing the sea
I had to grow
Faced against land
I could die
I rise
I take my last dream
Both the same slab
And both disappointed
I take my last dream
The drought in a land where it continues to spread
Sadness in the eyes which can not cry
I feel very distant dreams, I am both rebelled
I drank a lot of bullshit and I too saoul茅.
In life there are basically tapes and tapes for later
';You do not have a euro?'; or tape the torn
Are the state, R.M.istes,
cheers

Creme del la mer question ?
Creme del la mer question?
Do you get more samples at the counter then online ? Online you only get one but at the counter do you get more ? or are they stingy with them . I currently use Lancome and they give me loads of samples .I travel a lot so love the samples for my bagCreme del la mer question ?
I worked in this industry for a long time and the beauty companies don't like the consultants to give samples unless the customer buys a product. Samples are actually expensive and not regarded as a gratuity. They are given as a way to create a sale to people that are serious buyers.
It depends on the consultant, some are naughty and give them out willy nilly others do not.Creme del la mer question ?
If you ask directly, I believe they should give you samples. Great products they have but not for everyone. I personally love the lip balm and cream.
