Let’s return to Piazzolla. It turns out that from Jochen’s point of view, Piazzolla’s music is not danceable under certain conditions. And if you go beyond the limiting boundaries, then you can dance.
Finally, Piazzolla´s music interpreted by step dancers. And again it’s Esсualo.
And here is an interpretation in the style of traditional Japanese dance.
I just find it fascinating.
Jochen teaches how to dance tango to traditional tango music, neo tango and non-tango. He also believes that it is impossible to dance tango to, for example, “Take Five.” He says that his students usually “don’t hear” 5/4, and those who do can’t translate it into dance. Tango is usually in 2/4 or 4/4 time.
“Take Five” is a jazz standard, so jazz dancers can probably handle it without any problems. I was interested in how non-jazz dancers interpret this dance.
Here we see salsa dancers. Salsa is usually in 4/4 time, so salsa dancers have much the same problems as tango dancers, namely what to do with the extra 1/4.
I like what they did.
The problem is that at tango evenings where there are a lot of dancers and limited space, there are rules that it is advisable to follow, for example, dance only forward (the space behind you belongs to other dancers), your feet always remain on the floor. Otherwise, the risk of injury will increase. And here we can see an example of how to dance in a confined space
Unfortunately, not all dancers follow these rules. And Piazzolla’s music “provokes” people to disregard safety rules.
Now let’s see what a choreographed dance to Piazzolla’s music looks like. In this case it is Escualo.
The description under the video says: „… we combine the tango technique with disciplines such as ballet, jazz and we add tricks to make our performance even more attractive „
@The_Bumble_Bard Thank you ☺
People who can or love to dance can also dance to this tune if it suits their preferences.
It’s funny, I recently came across a discussion of people who love to dance tango. They discussed the topic: is it possible to dance to the tango of Astor Piazzolla? The opinions were diametrically opposed. Some were confident that it was possible and necessary. Others believed that Piazzolla only needs to be listened to, and that it is impossible to dance to his music. 🤔
I wouldn’t say that the chord progression was randomly generated. And Dave (the owner of the page) writes:”Following on from my tool to help you find ukulele chords that sound great together. If you’ve got an amazing chord progression that you’d like to contribute, I’m all ears. Drop me an email with the chords in – I’ll give it a play and if I like it, I’ll add it in!”
It was a chord progression that was carefully selected and stored in a database. But progressions are issued randomly from the database, so if you liked something, it’s better to write it down right away, it’s not known when you will see the same progression again. ☺
Dm C Bb A can also be written as i VII VI V
This progression reminded me of something, but I couldn’t remember what exactly.
Now I looked into the „Hooktheory“ and it turned out that this is how „Carol of The Bells“ begins. https://www.hooktheory.com/trends#key=Rel&scale=minor&path=1.7.6.J5
@Andrew Thank you ☺
Hello everyone!
Here is my attempt with my own song – “Rainy Day”.
The chord progression is from ukulelego:
https://ukulelego.com/ukulele-chord-progressions/#dm-c-bb-a
This can most likely be called a “rondo”: A B A C A.Have a nice day!
@Andrew – Sometimes plans have to be adjusted…
I’m currently having problems with my elbows.
Please no giveaway entry for me this month. When everything returns to normal, I will continue whis chellenges.@The_Bumble_Bard That’s right, in G minor there are 2 flats (B flat and E flat).
Have you noticed that the key signature of “Jmate li vino” also have 1 sharp? 🙂And in the “Schottis fran Lima” there is no E flat in the melody, but it appears in the accompaniment.
@muzikmama I rarely manage to determine the chord progression by ear. If the progression is easy, something like that C – F – G – C, it’s easier for me to “calculate” it. And these two examples for me are “very interesting – but nothing is clear.”
Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with Barry Manilow. Does he have many songs with Gm & D progression? Could you name one?
So, here are two pieces and there are no other chords except Cm, Gm, D 😉
Pay attention to the key signature. And I’m also interested in what key we are in (from the point of view of music theory).
Jmate li vino (Mazedonien)
@muzikmama
Tried and failed: Additional keyboard effects to get the orchestral feel of the original but ruined by noisy keys.
I also encountered this problem.
Does your keyboard have a record button? Look at the photo. Your button may look different, as long as it is somewhere.
I have such a button. When I record a keyboard I do the following:
1. I press the “record” button on the keyboard.
2. I press the “record” button on the smartphone.
3. I’m playing.
4. I finish recording on my smartphone.
5. I finish recording on the keyboard.
The video with a moving image and a terrible clatter of keys is ready.
Then I record another video, where the keyboard plays without me. The picture turns out boring, but the sound is without the clatter of keys.
Then in a video editor I make one video out of two. In the first video I turn off the sound, in the second video I remove the picture.
I would really like to simplify the process, but so far I haven’t come up with anything else.@The_Bumble_Bard – I see now that I have two pieces (one from Sweden, the other from North Macedonia) whose chord progressions consist of Gm, Cm and D.
I understand that D and D7 are not the same. But they are not too far apart 😉
Will you be interested in what folklore musicians do with it? I can record these two pieces near the end of the month.
