Just arrived to this channel and I’m already loving it. Please do a video about articulations on horns! Many doubts to solve here such as the use of marcato vs stacatto, the use of tenuto, the different types of falls… I’ll love to hear examples of this 🎩

Hey, welcome to the channel. Elliot Deutch of @PandemoniumBigBand always has a great video about articulations.

A very beautiful arrangement, Alex. Wonderful variations in the accompaniment, first longer notes and later more lively movements. Arrangements like yours reflect the music I love most. Thank you. A great shout out for the musicians, too, in particular Patricio. What a great tone and phrasing!

Interesting! I was liking the use of the bass clarinet and always like more instrumentation, not less. The use of a (French) Horn would be a great addition - I always want to hear that instrument! I like the idea of adding strings too.

Hi Gil, nice video! I'm not even a musician, but this is still very interesting - and it's an engaging way of demonstrating the work of an arranger. I literally know more about quantum theory than music theory, but I digress. Watching Rick Beato's videos, I get lost within a few seconds of any music theory instruction he provides. I often query ChatGPT about music (in general) and sometimes for specific tunes. At some point it will be able to go online and listen to the piece in question and tell me if I've got it wrong or if I'm able to articulate what's going on musically in layman's terms. I gave the AI a description of a song, "Choro Das Aquas" by Ivan Lins, arranged by Joan Monné for the Sant Andreu Jazz Band hoping that it could enlighten me a bit. The original is very interesting, but the arrangement by Monné uses a great deal more dissonance and to great effect. I was also struck by the fact that Monné apparently wrote the arrangement specifically for a woman (he's worked with Carme before) with the point of view of a woman. The tempo was slowed just a bit and the dynamic range of the arrangement seems to be greater than the original. This provides space for greater introspection and instead of being plaintive, seems to be asking, "How did I get this so wrong?" This works perfectly for a female protagonists. ChatGPT couldn't actually comment on my observations, which is too bad. I think before long it will be able to answer my questions in a manner you or Rick might. In any case, I love that good content is available on YT - hopefully this type of video will not be displaced by torrents garbage content.

Thanks for your nice comment. That is a very apt description of what a good arrangement can do! Yes I think you are better to ask musician rather than Chat GPT at this stage :D. Thanks for mentioning that piece. I've never heard it before. It's very beautiful.

@@gilevansinsideout I'm glad you liked it. The first four or five times I listened to it I didn't like it, but then it kept popping into my head. I had to kind of study it and fell in love with the arrangement.

@@gilevansinsideout Yes indeed - I haven't studied advanced physics, just read some books on the subject. Your arrangement of "Infant Eyes" made me think of the SAJB and Joan Monné because they do covers of very old music and always make it sound new and reanimated. The did a cover of the duet version of ÀGUAS DE MARÇO (Tom Jobim) with a little bump in the tempo and 13 instruments. One of the vocalists is Alba Armengou, she was 15 when they recorded that song.

Wow, thank you. I’ll make sure to have a listen. If you really like the art of Arranging, Gil Evans has so many good examples. If you like jazz arrangements of classical tunes, Gil has done a few of those. Or try My Ship from miles ahead and compare that to the original

Yeah it is. Mine is at bpm 66. I think this tempo makes the ensemble passages a little easier, and helps them to flow
