visual interpretation inspired by danny fong

This is, unfortunately, going to be one of my last videos for a few months. I'm leaving on June 28th for the summer and I'm not getting back until the end of august. I'm going to try and get a couple of videos recorded before I leave and release them while I'm away so you all won't get bored.

This song was much more difficult that I anticipated when I decided to take it on, which made me enjoy it all the more! There are a few points in the song where the alto 1 and 2 parts (or soprano 1 and 2 parts) will trade off with each other, either every other phrase or every 3 notes or so. That's why I placed the voices where they are. To get an idea of this, you can listen with one headphone in if you'd like.

A lot of hard work went into this song and I would really appreciate it f you would show it to your friends or family or complete strangers that you meet in the park.

Enjoy!

Actually, this is my favorite production of all you've posted. But, I've always been fond of the "swingle" style since I first heard them in the early 1960's. It was almost considered a little "sacreligious" at the time, but it was a natural permutation of Bach, and I think he would have loved it! With this new technology available, I think you'll start to see college music majors be required to do multi-track projects as part of the curriculum--with some very creative results possible. hmmm..

[danwright32]

@jimbopete69 thanks! this is one of my favorites too. That would be cool if this became something I could do for school.. but I don't think it will, just because while you could be the most amazing singer ever, most people don't have the range to do this.. so I don't think it will be required.

[jimbopete69]

@jimbopete69 Well, I could see it in instrumental music also. Say piano students doing multi-track on multi-hand arrangements, violins, horns... or they could search out good singers and learn the software, etc. BTW.. Bach's music was considered sacreligious (showboating in church) at the time. And, only 1/3 of his music survived. It is said one of his sons (after his death) thought the written music was worthless, and used it to wrap the garbage! yikes.

[danwright32]

@jimbopete69 yeah! that would be really cool! and wow, that's crazy about Bach

Nice job. Did you listen to Crossroads while you sang, or no?

[danwright32]

@iluvsesshomaru09 not while I sang, no. But I did listen to them beforehand
