The other shady thing about YouTube/Google Play is that they have a bot that creates YT videos of virtually every song ever released without getting permission from the artist.
I’ve heard of musicians complaining that their content is getting streamed for free and have a hard time fighting it because its done by Google itself, not just some user who uploaded copyrighted material.
The bot even found my old band and created YT playlists/videos for each song! I don’t mind because I’m not expecting any money from it, but for bands trying to make a living off their music this is really, really evil.
Yes it is, but your question made it look like you didn’t know it was “the Tetris theme”. Which is how like 99% of the people in this planet know that song
I didn’t know it was the Tetris theme, or at least not consciously. I just mean it might’ve become more well-known than it was before ca. 1990 because of Tetris.
Claudio Monteverdi
from the Seventh Book of Madrigals
“Tirsi e Clori”
Venice, 1619.
Used in the game Four Last Things.
Here a clip with a hook to the fifth and most famous stanza.
Text and english translation
Tirsi e Clori
Già, Clori gentile,
noi siam ne la schiera:
con dolce maniera
seguiamo il lor stile.
Balliamo, ed intanto
spieghiamo col canto,
con dolci bei modi,
del ballo le lodi.
Thyrsis & Cloris:
Yet, gentle Cloris,
we are amidst the throng
with sweet demeanour
we follow their ways.
Let us dance and meanwhile
expound with our singing
in sweet, fair tones,
the praises of the dance.
