19d (edited) • 🎻🔥 Hot Violinists' Hangout
School pick up wait progress - Biserica Neagra
Ok getting somewhere here.
This is looking a lot different than that prior version PDF already!
I decided to write out all ornaments as grace notes.
This is not all together completely different than how it feels to practice five note rolls and then put them into LotM.
But this is a 7 note roll and it’s in a spicy scale that gives it an exotic feel.
In lieu of key signature I’m going to use all accidentals to express the scale.
This piece is an original from my first band, E Muzeki where for the first couple years I played bass and guitar. Violin came later.
Dunno if I ever told you but we got started out late Highschool playing only Greek music at Greek restaurants.
(This is suddenly making my stomach rumble.)
Anyway, we used a lot of scales and harmonies from Greek music and this is one. Western music would call it a double harmonic major, but it gets confusing and makes the key signature look really weird.
The tonal center is A and the notes if you wanna try are:
A, Bb, C#, D, E, F, G#, A
I mean seriously, what key signature would you call that?
That’s honestly been one of the road blocks to getting my music catalogue done is I’m not sure what to do.
Tbh I asked ChatGPT and it suggested the no key signature just accidentals solution and I love it!
This will allow me to write the tune closer to how I think of playing it, and that should help you play it more easily too.
More soon,
Jenny
