Manuel Ausensi. Canción Húngara. Alma de Dios. Autor José Calixto Serrano Serrano
JOSE SERRANO.
José Calixto Serrano Simeón (Sueca, Valencia (España); 14 de octubre de 1873 -- † Madrid (Id.); 8 de marzo de 1941). Compositor español, conocido por sus más de cincuenta zarzuelas.
Autor, entre otras, de las famosas zarzuelas La reina mora, La canción del olvido, La dolorosa y Los claveles. Se le considera el heredero musical de Federico Chueca. Las obras de Serrano, tienden hacia un teatro popular, simple pero cargado de emoción dramática. La influencia de Giacomo Puccini y el verismo italiano es evidente en muchas de sus obras. Compuso el himno de la Exposición Regional Valenciana de 1909, que ha sido adoptado oficialmente como Himno de la Comunidad Valenciana.
Su padre, director de una banda de música en Sueca, su ciudad natal, fue quien le introdujo en el mundo de la música dándole sus primeras clases, más bien como un juego. Sin embargo, la afición y el interés que mostraba el pequeño José era tan grande que a los cinco años, ya sabía solfeo y a los 12 años tocaba la guitarra y el violín. En 1889, se trasladó a Valencia para proseguir con sus estudios musicales en el Conservatorio con Salvador Giner. Comenzó a estudiar piano, aunque pronto abandonó este instrumento, y prosiguió sus estudios de violín y composición. En 1892, se trasladó a Madrid con la intención de obtener una beca con la que proseguir sus estudios, beca que consigue del Ministerio de Fomento gracias a la recomendación de Emilio Serrano y que duraría un año. En Madrid, durante esta época y para poder sobrevivir, compone canciones, a 25 pesetas cada una, que servían para promocionar a artistas menores. Durante esta época encontró serias dificultades para triunfar en Madrid por la dificultad de hallar libretistas y teatros donde estrenar. Prestó ayuda a Manuel Fernández Caballero, que padecía una ceguera progresiva, en la composición de su zarzuela Gigantes y cabezudos, lo que le sirvió para darse a conocer en el mundo teatral. Así los hermanos Álvarez Quintero, en un intento de darle una oportunidad, le ofrecieron el libreto de "El motete". Estrenada con éxito el 24 de abril de 1900, fue la primera composición de Serrano y con la que se dio a conocer. Más tarde bautizaría a una de sus hijas como María del Motete, apadrinada por su amigo Bernardino Landete Aragó, el también valenciano catedrático de odontología de la Facultad de Madrid. En 1909 compuso el Himno a Valencia, pieza estrenada en la Exposición Regional Valenciana, y que sería elegida en 1925 como himno regional. En 1923, la Diputación de Valencia le encargó un himno conmemorativo de la Coronación de la Virgen de los Desamparados, patrona de Valencia. El estreno de esta obra tuvo lugar el 24 de mayo de 1923 ante unas 30.000 personas, constituyendo un clamoroso éxito. Su figura se va ensalzando y se ve consolidada por la labor llevada a cabo. Compuso obras tanto para el género chico como para la zarzuela grande. Entre ellas cabe destacar: La Reina mora (1903) con texto de los Hermanos Álvarez Quintero, Moros y cristianos (1905); El Perro chico (1905), El pollo Tejada (1906) y El Príncipe Carnaval (1919) en colaboración con Quinito Valverde; Alma de Dios (1907), El amigo Melquíades (1914) (también en colaboración con Quinito Valverde), La canción del olvido (1916) (con textos de Federico Romero Sarachaga y Guillermo Fernández-Shaw), Los de Aragón (1927), Los claveles (1929) y La Dolorosa (1930).
Los últimos años de su vida, los pasó en la localidad valenciana de El Perelló, donde se dedicó exclusivamente a la pesca. Tras detectársele cáncer de esófago se traslada en 1940 a Madrid para ser tratado, falleciendo en 1941.

Have You Seen The Stars Tonight - Jefferson Starship
Have you seen the stars tonite
Would you like to go upon "A" deck and look at them with me
Have you seen the stars tonite
Would you like to go up for a stroll and keep me company
Do you know
We could go
We are free
And place you can think of
We could be
Have you seen the stars tonite
Have you looked at all the family of stars
Let the children lead you
Let the children feel you
Let the children be you
Whatever happens to Tim Leary will happen to Amerika
Become your own Woodstock you ain't gonna find it
In a no dope movie show
Don't think I'm on your side
I'm on nobody side
I'm a battlefield
Burn me or mark me
Explode me and beat me
I we you will live
I'm gonna go
I won't run
Past Uranus and Pluto
We break through
Moving on out of the cool and the dark
We open our hands and build a Park
And (that's all) Amerika … apart
For her children to return with their starship
If you lived only on earth you've never seen the sun
Or the promise of a thousand other suns that glow beyond
If you care to see the future
Look into the eyes of the young dancing children
Don't be afraid of what we do
We share our hope
We share our dope
Our music is yours
And you are the magic
There really is something going on
Were not just putting you on
It really is magic
And each … takes us father from all humanity
You hear more
You see farther
You feel the planets in your body
Have you seen the stars tonite
Would you like to go upon "A" deck and look at them with me
Have you seen the stars tonite
Would you like to go up for a stroll and keep me company
Do you know
We could go
We are free
And place you can think of
We could be
Have you seen the stars tonite
Have you looked at all the family of stars
Let the children lead you
Let the children feel you
Let the children be you
Whatever happens to Tim Leary will happen to Amerika
Become your own Woodstock you ain't gonna find it

Don't think I'm on your side
I'm on nobody side
