Song: Black Orpheus
C Flute: Dave Hines
This is my latest Transcription / Transposition / Modification.
A Jazz piece in a Bossa Nova Beat...
and heavily modified by me...
especially from the beginning of the second page.
I had also cut out much from the middle of the first page...
as it was much of the flutist's solo work.
As this is a solo...
unless you can find someone to play a Bossa Nova beat...
I wanted to keep the song recognizable...
with a minimum of solo flying.
By the second page...
I had become familiarized with jazz enough to finish the song without
using the above song to refer to as I emplaced the notes which
seemed to flow with the piece...
and I had finished the song in my own manner.
These last two pieces I had used to familiarize myself
with Rhythm and Blues (previous song)...
and with Jazz (this song).
They were both challenging as the timing was such that I had to listen very
carefully for the changes and emphasis points.
For my next transcription...
I am thinking of a love ballad...
originally from the group...
Chicago.
As it will only consist of one line...
I will have to fill the single lines with multi instruments and vocals...
and make them blend as much as possible.
This is what will make the next piece challenging.
However...
if while I am attempting to blend the notes from multiple sources
to be played just on the flute...
it does not sound right...
I will scrap the attempt.
I will have to delve into the song first.
Hopefully...
it will work out.
Greetings!

Musicians are good people generally. They understand that everyone has their own internal interpretation of what makes a song resonate for them. Especially jazz musicians. This song in particular is really nice.
ReplyDeleteI agree. People who know how to make themselves happy through a creative outlet are generally much happier in life. I also agree about Jazz musicians. They are among the most highly creative musicians there are. Yes, this song is very nice.
