Song of the Day #1971

Song of the Day: Sicilienne, Op. 78, composed by Gabriel Faure, was written originally as an orchestral piece in 1893, before going through several iterations culminating as part of a suite for full orchestra. Check out the piano and cello duet by Gautier Capucon and Michel Dalberto [YouTube link]. This “Song of the Day” is a preview of what’s to come on Notablog. Starting on January 1, 2023, I will begin a month-long tribute to the music of the “Breaking Bad” franchise on the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of the debut of “Breaking Bad“, which premiered on January 20, 2008. This composition is heard in Season 2, Episode 2 (“Cobbler”) of BB’s triumphant spin-off series, “Better Call Saul“. That episode begins with Jimmy’s brother Chuck McGill, sitting at the piano, attempting to play this piece [YouTube link]. A month from today, I’ll post the first of 31 musical highlights from “Breaking Bad“, “El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie,” and “Better Call Saul“. Stay tuned …
