This poem surely needs no introduction!

Kubla Khan ST Coleridge Charles Bryant Xanadu Romantic Poetry brychar 66

Can you create a paradise by building material things? Or, how about creating paradise in your imagination? This was written in 1797 (possibly) and first published in 1816. Coleridge's note, published with the poem is as follows: "The following fragment is here published at the request of a poet of great and deserved celebrity [Lord Byron], and, as far as the Author's own opinions are concerned, rather as a psychological curiosity, than on the ground of any supposed poetic merits. In the summer of the year 1797, the Author, then in ill health, had retired to a lonely farm-house between Porlock and Linton, on the Exmoor confines of Somerset and Devonshire. In consequence of a slight indisposition, an anodyne had been prescribed, from the effects of which he fell asleep in his chair at the moment that he was reading the following sentence, or words of the same substance, in Purchas's Pilgrimage: ``Here the Khan Kubla commanded a palace to be built, and a stately garden thereunto. And thus ten miles of fertile ground were inclosed with a wall.'' The Author continued for about three hours in a profound sleep, at least of the external senses, during which time he has the most vivid confidence, that he could not have composed less than from two to three hundred lines; if that indeed can be called composition in which all the images rose up before him as things, with a parallel production of the correspondent expressions, without any sensation or consciousness of effort.

Kubla Khan was written in 1798, according to Coleridge, but it was first published in 1816. (It was one of my first submissions, but now I have a better microphone and better sound processing technique, so I thought I'd do it again. ) Coleridge was addicted to laudanum which brought him visions and agonies with constipation which he thought of as retribution. Laudanum addiction was common because people resorted to it to relieve toothache, which was a part of everyday life in those days. He told the story that the poem came to him in dream and he wrote it down on waking, but lost the remainder when he was interrupted by a "visitor from Porlock". However this story has been disproved because earlier draughts have been discovered. Actually I haven't checked the facts, this is just what I remember. en.wikipedia.org Other recitals of the poem can be found here: www.poets.org librivox.org The picture of the girl is mid 19th century and anonymous, but she is not Abyssinian nor is her instrument a Dulcimer. The picture is of Brighton Pavilion which was rebuilt as a "Dome of Pleasure" by George IV at about the time of the poem: one might have influenced the other - who knows?

This tribute to the 1980 camp classic "Xanadu" features many seldom seen images and items. We begin with the original 8 American lobby cards, then progress into the Japanese movie program. From there we see all of the American album and single covers, along with the record labels...then a few newspaper clippings for the film. Finally, we end up looking at the Marvel comic book version of "Xanadu" along with several "making-of" photos. "Xanadu" starred Olivia Newton-John, Gene Kelly (in his last dancing role) and Michael Beck (from "The Warriors".) It was released on August 8, 1980 (8/8/80). Although it was critically panned, the film generated a very successful soundtrack that featured 5 top 10 singles..."Magic (ONJ)", "I'm Alive (ELO)", "All Over The World (ELO)", "Xanadu (ONJ & ELO)" and "Suddenly (ONJ & Cliff Richard)". The soundtrack was originally set up as a double-disc release, but was trimmed down to a single disc. The two tracks featured here are rare b-sides from the original singles..."You Made Me Love You" by ONJ was the b-side of "Suddenly", and "Drum Dreams" by ELO backed both "I'm Alive" and "All Over The World". Both songs were featured in the film. Neither of them have been released on CD. "Fool Country" was the b-side to ONJ's "Magic", and it was released on the ONJ "Gold" CD in 2005. If you subtract the plot from the film, and just look at the musical numbers, it's actually quite good. Olivia has never looked so beautiful, and the SFX are very fun...not <b>...</b>

Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) is considered to be one of the major Romantic poets. He is most famed for 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' and his experimental poem 'Kubla Khan'. Here an actor recites the latter.

The Pleasure-Dome of Kubla-Khan (1915) A work for solo piano by American composer Charles Tomlinson Griffes (1884-1920). In his short life, Griffes evolved from a Wagnerite and protégé of Engelbert Humperdinck into a composer of remarkably distinctive, atmospheric, somewhat jazz-influenced piano music. "The Pleasure-Dome of Kubla-Khan" is, of course, based on the famous poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge "Kubla Khan." Ferruccio Busoni suggested to Griffes that he orchestrate this work as a symphonic poem, and in this form "The Pleasure-Dome of Kubla-Khan" brought Griffes considerable success and recognition. Pianist: Michael Lewin Kubla Khan (by Samuel Taylor Coleridge) In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure-dome decree: Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea. So twice five miles of fertile ground With walls and towers were girdled round: And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills, Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree; And here were forests ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery. But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover! A savage place! as holy and enchanted As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted By woman wailing for her demon-lover!

Two Verds Stoned at Once Produced by QuietHere Productions "Coleridge claimed that the poem was inspired by an opium-induced dream (implicit in the poem's subtitle A Vision in a Dream) but that the composition was interrupted by a person from Porlock. Some have speculated that the vivid imagery of the poem stems from a waking hallucination albeit, most likely, opium-induced.

A song of my own, base loosely on 'Kubla Khan' by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. About half of the lyrics (the good half!) are take from the poem... From wikiepedia: Kubla Khan, or a Vision in a Dream. A Fragment. is a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, which takes its title from the Mongol and Chinese emperor Kublai Khan of the Yuan dynasty. Coleridge claimed he wrote the poem in the autumn of 1797 at a farmhouse near Exmoor, England, but it may have been composed on one of a number of other visits to the farm. It also may have been revised a number of times before it was first published in 1816.

Sadly, currently I'm unable to find out where the "Techno-Shiva MP3" CD could be. Thankfully a part of cd's content survived on my hard-disk. I hope you will enjoy it. Comment from mp3 tag: "Bjorn Lynne has been writing and producing rock and symphonic music for about 10 years. But only 3 years as "Divinorum". The very first Divinorum track "Antigravity" went straight to the top on mp3.com back in 1998. Divinorum was featured on several compilation discs from various trance record labels all over the world. The first full-length Divinorum album "Isms" was released in 1999. The music? Think big. Think epic. Think ethnic. Think cosmic. Take the journey... A new Divinorum album is in the works and will be released some time in 2000. Stay tuned!"
