Temma Harbour
"Temma Harbour" is a song written by Robert Anson, under the pseudonym Philamore Lincoln, who released it on his album ''The North Wind Blew South'' in January 1970. The song refers to an inlet of the same name on the island of Tasmania. The song is better known for the version by Welsh folk singer Mary Hopkin, also released in January 1970. It was her first single on Apple Records not to be produced by Paul McCartney, but instead by Mickie Most, who also rearranged the song. It peaked at number 6 on the UK Singles Chart and number 39 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. ''Cash Box'' said that "a bit of folk, and just a taste of the steel-band touch hidden in strings makes this a refreshing change from the ballad norm." ''Billboard'' called it an "infectious rhythm item." ''Record World'' predicted that "Temma Harbour" would replicate the success of her previous two singles. The B-side, "Lontano Dagli Occhi", was written by Sergio Endrigo and Sergio Bardotti and Hopkin's performanc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Moonlight Sonata
The Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, marked ''Quasi una fantasia'', Op. 27, No. 2, is a piano sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven. It was completed in 1801 and dedicated in 1802 to his pupil Countess Giulietta Guicciardi. The popular name ''Moonlight Sonata'' goes back to a critic's remark after Beethoven's death. The piece is one of Beethoven's most popular compositions for the piano, and it was a popular favourite even in his own day. Beethoven wrote the ''Moonlight Sonata'' in his early thirties, after he had finished with some commissioned work; there is no evidence that he was commissioned to write this sonata. Names The first edition of the score is headed ''Sonata quasi una fantasia'', the same title as that of its companion piece, Op. 27, No. 1. Grove Music Online translates the Italian title as "sonata in the manner of a fantasy". "The subtitle reminds listeners that the piece, although technically a sonata, is suggestive of a free-flowing, improvised fantasia." T ...
