Over the Rainbow Improv
on: July 01, 2009, 08:52:18 AM
Somewhat inspired by Bob's post in improvising. 
Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach

Thanks. I do like experimenting with harmony and do some of these improvs with familiar tunes every so often.

This reminds me of a friends quote on Sir Harrison Birtwistle, that know matter what form of composition he's tried, pitched or unpitched, tonal or modal, serial or free, his music always comes out sounding like Sir Harrison Birtwistle. I listen to this fantasy, and it sounds just like Quantum. It carries the frenetic energy I've come to expect from you, especially around and after the 5 minute mark, and meditative bits appropriate to the theme. Fun.
