Understanding Form: The Canary

[@erikgruber9736]

You are one of the BEST music educators out there I can think of

[@maxjohn6012]

Always a pleasure to see a new video in this series :) I only know this form from a few of Louis Couperin's suites. Hearing it suddenly and clearly in that wonderful Beethoven was a joy!

[@SisselOnline]

Oh my god!!! finally a new Understanding Form video OWOWO

[@caterscarrots3407]

I know right? I was wondering why no new videos were coming out.

[@Inventio13]

Thank you for yet another good video on Form. The name Canarias comes from Latin for dog (Canis). Thus they are the Isles of dogs, rather than birds.

[@MusicaUniversalis]

This is very funny, thanks for the extra info 😂

[@MrGeorgecavaquinho]

But, the birds are native to the islands, which is where the birds got their name from. Everyone remebers the birds but forgets the dogs.

[@martiglesias60]

The Isa is also from the Islas Canarias. The Kingdom of Napels (with Sicily) was a part of the Spanish empire, long before the country Italy exist.

these videos were so great to watch over the summer, sad I ran out of them. If you made a Patreon to post more of this style of content I would pay and I'm sure others would as well (if that makes it more worthwhile for you to make them)

[@makytondr8607]

This is brilliant! Never realized that this pattern had such a deep history. Beethoven’s 7th also makes use of the Folia chord progression; I wonder what inspired him to write such a spanish influenced piece.

[@nickyay19]

And Beethoven's 5th (2nd Movement) as well!

What a great find of your channel. Thank you

[@word77770]

Thank you so much for this lesson!

[@doc3652]

I would highly recommend looking into creating a video on the Ecossaise form, which I feel is an often overlooked dance form in classical music

[@MusicaUniversalis]

It’s planned. Already read through some articles about it and have some sources.

[@RainingRoses65]

Great video!

[@eddie3051]

Can you make a video on the use of traditional folk music in classical music? Like how Tchaikovsky uses traditional music in his 1812 ouverture and marche slave and how many spanish traditional dances are used in classical music

[@Hello_507]

Hes back!

[@GenkiDamai]

What forms are used the most in todays music?And what books do you recommend for composition?

[@johannpetersen1727]

Hey Henry, what happened with the Spotify recording of your suite for flute and guitar? I absolutely loved it and listened to it all the time but it disappeared from Spotify and Apple Music

[@MusicaUniversalis]

I ended my contract with my previous label. I will be re-releasing all my stuff under my own personal label in the coming months. Sorry for the inconvenience. Music business stuff…

[@johannpetersen1727]

@@MusicaUniversalis Wow, thanks for the answer, I’m so happy that it’s gonna come back! Looking forward to it!

[@JasperHavens-nl4pc]

Does anyone know the music played in the intro?

[@Brandon55638]

Can you give me some advice for writing my piece? I'm writing my own variation for solo piano on the famous song "The Lord's Prayer" where the melody develops in the style of dramatic Italian opera arias by Verdi, Mascagni and Puccini. I've been listrning to a lot of late Romantic/early 20th century music and, compared to those pieces, the original melody sounds like Schubert or Fauré's songs.

[@MusicaUniversalis]

You can refer to the video description, where you can book zoom lessons.

[@luiscarlospinedodelarosa1816]

America is written in Mexican huapango style. It's written at the beginning of the score.
