HR: Cache (naravno) nije na početnim koordinatama, one su postavljene na Koncertnu dvoranu Vatroslav Lisinski, mjesta gdje se izvode koncerti klasične glazbe, i koje je sljedeća postaja za možda mnoge (ali sigurno za jednog) izvođače koje ćemo predstaviti u tekstu.
Kad bih rekao da nisam neki ljubitelj klasične muzike, to ne bi bilo sasvim točno. Točnije bi bilo da nisam neki veliki slušač klasike, ali ako sam već u prilici, vrlo rado poslušam. Čak i prepoznajem neka djela, no osim onih par baš najpoznatijih, nemam pojma niti tko je kompozitor, niti kako je djelu ime, što me vjerojatno svrstava u veliku većinu Hrvata.
Htio sam napraviti cache gdje bi zadatak bio prepoznati par najpoznatijih klasičnih djela, no već u startu je to bilo osuđeno na propast, zbog gomile telefonskih aplikacija (npr. Shazam) i kompjuterskih programa koji prepoznaju muziku nakon samo par taktova, pa bi se bilo kakav sličan zadatak riješio u par minuta.
Počeo sam hodati gore-dolje poput profesora Baltazara, razmišljajući kako prevariti Shazam. Mislio, mislio… i dosjetio se!
Zašto se ove klasične melodije ne bi izvele… pjevajući? I tako je ideja provedena u djelo, uz sudjelovanje velikog broja cachera (više o njima malo kasnije), kojima ovom prilikom najtoplije zahvaljujem na pomoći. Svatko od njih je otpjevao (kako je najbolje znao i umio) jednu od zadanih kompozicija, koje u ovom zadatku trebate prepoznati. Radi se o ultra-poznatim djelima, i ako ste ikada bili u kontaktu s klasičnom muzikom, sve navedene stvari ste sigurno čuli. Kako ćete naći imena i kompozitora, prepuštam vama.
Svi linkovi su potpuno sigurni, i sadrže samo audio fajlove. Detalji o tome kako izvući tražene brojeve iz prepoznate melodije/kompozitora su dani u nastavku.
Malo više detalja o “pjevačima”, koji će za sada ostati anonimni, a poslije ćemo vidjeti. SVI su geocacheri, 14 različitih pojedinaca ili parova, iz 5 različitih zemalja. “F” i “G” su odlučili da najmlađi članovi tima najbolje mogu odraditi zadatak. Tata “I” nije htio da mališa pokupi svu slavu, tako da su udružili snage i otpjevali stvar skupa. “L”, “M” i “N” su parovi, od kojih je svaki imao drugačiji pristup. “L” su jednostavno otpjevali melodiju zajedno. Par “M” je iz zemlje X, ali je u periodu snimanja muški dio bio u zemlji Y, a ženski u zemlji Z (kompliciram, pa je teško za pratiti, sve znam). Pošto su tehnički obrazovani pojedinci, ona je snimila svoj dio, poslala njemu, on je snimio svoj dio, i onda umiksao oba dijela u jednu pjesmu.
Pristup “N”-a je bio jednostavniji. Dok je ona snimala, on je šutke gledao. Na kraju je rekao: “Pjevaš kao Edith iz ‘Allo ‘Allo, gdje je onaj sir? *JA* bi ovo otpjevao bolje!”. Ona: “Samo izvoli!”. Na kraju, obe verzije su uključene.

Zadatak
A - DAN (datum) u mjesecu kad je ovo djelo po prvi put javno izvedeno (1 - 31)
B - Broj u (grupnom) imenu ovog djela
C - Kompletirana je kojeg točno dana u Srpnju?
D - Op.=? (naslov)
E - Broj u (punom) naslovu?
F - Godina kad je ovo djelo nastalo, podijeljena s 25
G -Trenutni pozivni broj za rodnu zemlju kompozitora
H - Kad pronađete naslov djela, odmah će vam na pamet pasti jedna vrsta voća, koja je nekako povezana s dotičnim imenom. Pogledajte sliku (Fruits), i izaberite prvi broj (od 1 do 30) tog voća.
I - Kompozitor je umro nakon koliko javnih izvedbi ovog djela? (Wikipedia)
J - Naslov ovog djela sadrži jedan broj. Koliko ih ukupno ima u cijeloj seriji?
K - Ova kompozicija je postala tema jedne organizacije (i od tamo vam je vjerovatno i poznata) koje godine? Traže se samo zadnje 2 cifre.
L - Kompozicija je dio većeg djela, koje je imalo premijeru koje godine (samo zadnje 2 cifre)?
M - Ovo je završni dio jednog većeg djela s kojim brojem u naslovu?
N - Djelo je objavljeno po prvi put godinama nakon kompozitorove smrti. Koliko točno godina?
BONUS: Za vrijeme snimanja s raznim osobama, naišao sam na geocachera čija izvedba je bila urnebesna! Ponekad, neke stvari su toliko loše da su u stvari fantastične. Sjetite se samo Florence Foster Jenkins, o kojoj su snimili čak dva filma, od toga jedan s Meryl Streep!
Originalno sam mu namijenio kompoziciju “L”, no kad sam čuo rezultat, to je bilo jače od mene, jednostavno sam ga MORAO angažirati za cijeli repertoar od svih 14 djela. Prva ideja mi je bila da stavim samo njega kao zadatak, ali mislim da bi onda i T5 bilo premalo, a pretpostavljam da bi to bilo protivno Ženevskoj konvenciji, tako da shvatite ovo kao bonus!
Ako ste iz Hrvatske, pokušajte pogoditi pravi identitet Hrvatskog Slavuja, koji će, kako predviđam, uskoro postati svjetska pjevačka senzacija! Rezervirajte datume u Metropolitan Operi i Scali! ON dolazi!!…
Dame i gospodo, predstavljam vam... (drumroll)... Hrvatski Slavuj!!!

Mislite da možete bolje? Odlično, zašto onda ne snimite jedan (ili više) zadanih klipova? Pošaljite mi ih, izbor najboljih (ili najgorih!) bi mogao uključiti u listing.
EN: The cache (naturally) is not at the starting coordinates, which take you to the Vatroslav Lisinski concert hall, the place where you can hear a lot of classical music concerts, and which is the next stop for possibly a few (but surely for one) of the performers presented in the text.
If I said that I’m not a big fan of classical music, that wouldn’t be right. The more accurate would be that I’m not a big listener of classic, but when I do have the opportunity to listen, I am very happy with it. I even recognize some pieces, but except for the most famous ones, I have no idea who the composer is, nor what is the name of the piece, which most probably puts me among the majority of Croats.
I wanted to make a cache with the task of recognizing a couple of most famous classical pieces, but this was doomed to a failure, because of many phone apps (like Shazam) and computer programs that recognize the music after just a few notes, so every problem of that kind could be resolved in a few minutes.
I started thinking, how to fool Shazam… Finally, I got the idea!
Why all this classic melodies couldn’t be presented by… singing? And so, the idea was implemented, with participation of great number of cachers (more about this below), to whom I warmly thank for the help provided. Each one of them sang (as best as he/she can) one of the given melodies, which YOU have to recognize in this task. All of them are ultra-famous pieces, so if you’re ever been in contact with classical music, you have probably heard (and recognize) all of the listed melodies. How to find their names and their composers, that I leave to you.
So, some more details about the “singers”, who will remain anonymous at the moment, we’ll see if this will change later on. ALL of them are geocachers, 14 individuals or couples from 5 different countries. ”F” and “G” decided that the youngest member of the team should carry out the singing task. Daddy “I” didn’t want his kid to take the whole spotlight, so they joined forces in the task. “L”, “M” and “N” are couples, but each one had a different approach. “L” recorded the song together. “M” couple is from country X, but at the time of the recording, male part was at country Y, and female part at country Z (I over-complicate, so it’s difficult to follow, I know). So, being a technically advanced people, she recorded her piece, sent it to him, he recorded his piece, and mixed both together in one song.
“N” approach was simpler. She was recording the song, he was silently observing. Finally, he says: “You sing like Edith from ‘Allo ‘Allo, you cannot carry a tune in a bucket. *I* can sing it better”. She: “Be my guest!”. So, both tunes are included.
All the links are completely safe, and contain only audio files.
Details about how to get the wanted numbers from the recognized melody/composer are given below.
Click the BIG letters below for the melodies:
The Task:
A - The DAY (date) in the month when this piece was performed for the first time (1 to 31).
B - The number in the (group) name of this piece.
C - It was completed on which day in July? (1 to 31)
D - Op.=? (title)
E - Number in the (full) title?
F - The year when it was composed divided by 25
G - Current telephone code for the home country of the composer
H - When you find out the title, there is a fruit that immediately comes to our mind which is somehow connected with this name. Look at the image (Fruits), and pick a first number (1 to 30) of that fruit.
I - The composer died after how many public performances of this piece? (Wikipedia)
J - This piece carries a certain number. How many are there in the whole series (total)?
K - This composition became a theme music of a certain organisation (and that's where you probably know it for) in what year? Only the last 2 digits.
L - Song was a part of a bigger work, which premiered in what year (only the last 2 digits)?
M - This is a final piece of a composition with which number in it?
N - Published only years after the composer's death. How many?
BONUS: During the recordings with various persons, I stumbled upon a geocacher friend whose performance was hilarious!! Sometimes, things are so bad, that in fact they are fantastic. Think only of Florence Foster Jenkins! Two movies were made about her life, one of which with Meryl Streep!
I originally assigned him the “L” part, and when I heard his performance, it was stronger than me, I just HAD to have him sing the whole repertoire of 14 pieces. My first idea was to put only him as a task, but in that case, T5 would be too low, and I think it would be against the Geneva convention (too cruel). So, think of it as a bonus!
If you're from Croatia, try to guess the hidden identity of our Croatian Nightingale, who, I predict, will soon become the international singing sensation! The Croatian Nightingale! Reserve the dates at Metropolitan Opera and La Scala! HE is coming...
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you.... (drumroll)... The Croatian Nightingale!!!
