Chingford and

Highams Park

elcome to the July/August edition of Inside Magazine, the local magazine for Chingford and Highams Park.

Here at Inside Magazine, we’re passionate about learning, not just for the young but throughout life. To this end, staff are encouraged to attend courses to make them better human beings. A recent workshop on Mindfulness in a Workplace Context, for example, seemed to improve everybody’s mindfulness in the workplace, which was great, as mindfulness was becoming an issue in the workplace.

Personally, I booked onto four courses: Decision Making in the Workplace, Resolution in the Workplace, How to Remember Things (in the Workplace, mainly) and Gender Stereotyping (in the Workplace, obviously). These, it was felt, would make me much better at doing whatever it is that I do. Unfortunately, when it came down to it, I couldn’t make my mind up whether to go on the Decision Making course, didn’t really feel 100% about Resolution, just clean forgot about Remembering Things, and felt that the Gender Stereotyping was more an issue for women.

CARLO GESUALDO

or Dressage, Debussy and the Duke of Andria STORY: DAVID YOUNG

T

his is another story of the quitegoods. Of the runners-up, the also rans and the ones that just ran away. Of the flames that never flared too fiercely, or flickered for a while and then faded. We’re not all immortals.

Some of us are quite good, though. And some of the quite-goods have their moments, when they flicker and fade.

When it comes to music, one of the great things is that you don’t need to be an expert on theory to enjoy it. In this respect, it’s the opposite of dressage or American Football. I know that I like the Arctic Monkeys and Mozart, but I have no idea why. Hence, I have no idea what the chromatic scale is, and have no inclination to find out. I know it, sort of, when I hear it in the music of Debussy: it’s the bit that sounds kind

MUSIC FROM MADRIGALS 8

CARLO GESUALDO

of… well… chromatic, really. A normal scale consists of eight notes, unequally spaced. The chromatic scale uses twelve notes, equally spaced, and the effect is slightly unharmonious, tense, suspenseful. I think. But don’t ask me. I told you. I’m not a musician.

But Debussy was not the first to use the chromatic scale. Not by many centuries, in fact.

What seemed so revolutionary at the end of the nineteenth century was not new at all. To find its roots, we go back to 1590, to a palace near Naples. The dead body of the Duke of Andria lay on the floor, wearing a woman’s nightdress, covered in bloody wounds and with brain oozing from a gunshot wound to the head.

Beneath, his body was pierced through with holes made by a sword. Another body lay on the bed, female, Donna Maria d’Avalos, wife of Carlo Gesualdo. She, too, was covered in blood, her throat cut, and with wounds to her arms, her torso and her face. The sexual organs of both had been mutilated.

There was no doubt that the jealous Gesualdo had killed his wife and her lover. He had been seen to enter the room, shouting angrily, to emerge in a while covered in blood, then to go back in because he thought that he hadn’t completely killed the couple.

Now I’m not saying that all art comes from such

trauma. Many painters and authors are quite nice people.

Several musicians have successful careers without once having to commit bloody murder. Yet the terrible acts of that night seemed to stir something in Gesualdo. He got away with murder (literally) because he was a prince. But from that day he retreated from life. The corpses of the couple were left to decompose in the palace. Gesualdo began to consort with witches and to embark on strange affairs with young men. He shunned public life, which is probably just as well.

Gesualdo had always been a composer, and the trauma of that evening affected his music. He wrote mostly madrigals, but he twisted the established rules of music into dark, discordant

pieces, eschewing the classical scales and harmonies in a way that would not resurface for centuries. He set about recruiting musicians to perform his works in his castle, for his pleasure alone.

The music is dark and richly chromatic, almost avant garde, but, above all, turbulent, tortured, wild. That evening in the bedroom of the palace is never far MARIA D'AVALOS from the surface.

It’s not music for elevators. Or for dinner parties. I wouldn’t play it in the car on the M25. But it’s worth finding and listening to, if you want to feel really depressed. You don’t have to understand the theory. Here was a flame that burned far too fiercely, and then was forgotten. I’ll never listen to Debussy in the same way again.

Advertising locally works…

“We have been committed to The Inside Magazine for only 2 months now and can see a long standing business relationship developing.

The Inside Magazine understood the requirements of our business and its needs and historically we knew they could deliver. Thanks to The Inside Magazines' efforts we have generated a larger database and our clientele has grown dramatically. Being new advertisers within this magazine we understood it normally takes at least 6 months to get recognised/noticed but this month’s advert we have had over 10 leads/enquiries all of which have turned into business/sales.

The decision was made not just on price but also because of the response and feedback we heard back from other advertisers.

The Inside Magazine team have been professional and courteous at all times and the scheme has been a great benefit to Abbey Antiques & Furnishings/The Abbey Group.

We have no hesitation in recommending The Inside Magazine to future companies/businesses but should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank You and Kind Regards”
