The saeta is a song of Catholic Andalusia dating back many centuries.[1] The saeta antigua [old saeta] probably arose from the recitation of psalms under the influence of liturgical music.[2] _Saetas vary greatly in form and style, ranging from simple syllabic melodies to highly ornamented ones._[3] In the older tradition, solemn drums and horns might accompany the singer, or the saetero sang alone. Possessing a plaintive emotional intensity, and dramatic charge, the saeta is sung by the saetero, often from a balcony, The immediate emotional response to the saeta, often of intense sorrow, may be the reason for its name, as the Spanish word saeta can mean _arrow or dart_.
This is a recording if the _first encounter_ between singer Bastien Picot and unique instrument Voice Leaf made by Baschet Brothers in 1963, a stringed and metal leaf instrument made to resonate and saturate with singer's voice. The two were French artists who concentrated on creating sound sculptures and musical instruments -- one was an engineer, the other a musician. They also worked on bell towers and clocks. All sounds and reverbs heard in this recordingh come from the Voice Leaf.

She became Mick Jagger's girlfriend shortly after he and Keith Richards wrote this song for her. This was her debut hit in 1964, and then recorded by The Rolling Stones themselves about a year later. She was 17 years old, and recorded it again at 40, and with this version, she's 71, She says of the 3 recordings, _I liked the last one, the one I did on [2018’s] Negative Capability, best. It took me a long time to really get it. I thought the first one was just too bright and breezy and poppy, and the second one was too sad, and the third one is really balanced._
While there appears to be no record of their participation, the Baschet Brothers, Francois and Bernard together with Jacques and Yvonne Lasry were invited by Jean Cocteau to compose the soundtrack for his 1960 film, Le Testament d'Orphee. Jacques was a composer, Yvonne an organist, Francois an artist and Bernard an engineer. The four shared a passion for inventing sound sculptures and began collaborating in 1954 soon after they met.

John Newton was an 18th century English Anglican cleric, a captain of slave ships who later became an investor in the slave trade but subsequently became an abolitionist. He served as a sailor in the Royal Navy for a period after forced recruitment. Newton wrote the words from personal experience. He grew up without any particular religious conviction, but his life's path was formed by a variety of twists and coincidences that were often put into motion by others' reactions to what they took as his recalcitrant insubordination. He was pressed (conscripted) into service in the Royal Navy. After leaving the service, he became involved in the Atlantic slave trade. In 1748, a violent storm battered his vessel off the coast of County Donegal, Ireland, so severely that he called out to God for mercy. This moment marked his spiritual conversion but he continued slave trading until 1754 or 1755, when he ended his seafaring altogether.... In 1835, American composer William Walker set it to the tune known as "New Britain" in a shape note format; this is the version most frequently sung today. (wiki)

The Heath Brothers was an American jazz group, formed in 1975 in Philadelphia, by the brothers Jimmy (ts), Percy (b), and Albert _Tootie_ Heath (d); and pianist Stanley Cowell. Cowell went on to co-found the Strata-East Records label. He was among the first jazz musicians to make prominent use of the kalimba, a thumb piano from southeastern Africa. In his later decades he worked often with a digital sound-design program, Kyma, which allowed him to alter the pitch and texture of an acoustic piano’s sound.
Jane Hirshfield has been a Zen monk and a visiting artist among neuroscientists. She has said this: “It’s my nature to question, to look at the opposite side. I believe that the best writing also does this … It tells us that where there is sorrow, there will be joy; where there is joy, there will be sorrow … The acknowledgement of the fully complex scope of being is why good art thrills … Acknowledging the fullness of things,” she insists, “is our human task.” The poem is taken from her 202o poetry collection, _Ledger_.Jane Hirshfield has been a Zen monk and a visiting artist among neuroscientists.

This song was recorded at the Haskell Institute (Lawerence, Kansas) by Willard Rhodes in the Summer of 1943. It was sung by Margaret, a young Creek girl. Willard Rhodes, professor of music at Columbia University, undertook nine field surveys of American Indian music between 1940 and 1952. The recordings included 260 audio discs (1940-1949) and 50 7-inch audio tape reels (1950-1952). Selections from these recordings were released on ten albums by the Library of Congress Music Division. The project, which was intended to document new music in American Indian communities as well as the traditional music that was being performed, was sponsored by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
