Happy Arlington Town Day Arlington from the Arlington Republican Town Committee! Happy Arlington Town Day! Happy Arlington Town Day! 2023, we have the outrageous Orchard Jug Band Monica, Chris and Dan playing an assortment of creative instruments from the jug to the washboard to the bass. I hope you enjoy the show. Coming today, we are musicians here. We're training what is called historical performance. We learn Renaissance rock music. But some of us are also Latinas. So we use the tools, the building blocks and some baroque music to connect with our roots. So in early music, what is called early music in Spanish called musical antigua, you always have this chord progression that people used to improvise which is the same as nowadays in jazz. You have a chord progression and you improvise. So what we did for you today is we played an early music priest. We show you the harmonic progression and we play the early music piece more or less how it would have sounded in the past. But then we have Colombian percussionist here Juan Sebastián who is dying to give us the flavor. So he introduced the Dominican Republic merengue and brought the rhythm. And then another play, the piece with the background of that rhythm and Eduardo who is a different kind of musician he improvises he doesn't need to be in a music like ours and he just does whatever he wants with those chords and that was the piece that we played for you. So we connected those harmonic harmonic harmonics progression to a song that was an early music song and then we made it ours by making it in favor. The next piece and that was called which means to form something by Diego Ortiz, 16th century composer. Now the next piece that we are going to play for you is we make it a little bit more complex this time. It's called Senora de Lugo, it's praised to be version Mary, it's the first. So we are going to play as an early music piece at the very beginning but as soon as you hear the piece you hear there is a harmonic progression. So we take this harmonic progression in the middle of the piece and we improvise for a little bit. Just one Sebastian can help it, he just needs to put some flavor there and we start with the Venezuelan Passage, any Venezuelans here? No Venezuelans here. I am. Passage is a very nice calm music comes back to the music melody singing the early music piece but now it has the melody in the middle that one Sebastian gave us. This same harmonic progression is also a Venezuelan song called Green Hand which is also related because it's also a Green Hand by Virgin's song and we take the harmonic progression it changes the rhythm again and then now we go to that Venezuelan song it's a totally different song but it reminds you of the very first song that you heard. So are you still with me? Yes. And then we sing this Venezuelan song you know when it's a Venezuelan song and that rhythm we keep that rhythm and come back to the early music piece so you see the trip that we are keeping has a presence a classical music popular music and here we go. The first range of period folk instruments. Part of their mission is to raise awareness of the rich musical and cultural connections and distinction covering Europe, Africa and the Americas. Today's concert is a cheerful black and green carefully curated selection of songs to honor Spanish Terry Cage.
