A little tune...

Just a little tune to bring a little smile to your face, perhaps. One wot I writted today while having a swim, and recorded tonight while the cabbage boiled.

EDIT - and if you're wondering what the relevance to cycling is, my Olympus recorder was resting in my right cycling shoe (my foot wasn't in it at the time).

    You certainly like to blow your own trumpet don't you!

    It's safer than blowing someone else's. Not only that, but occasionally people pay me for it too.

    Thanks. It's actually one I wrote to a specific educational brief, but I ended up being rather pleased with how it turned out. It needed to be catchy - I think it is.

    (If anyone's interested, it's a tune for learning by ear, and for practising improvisation, based on the 2-5-1 chord sequence, including a minor 2-5-1 in the bridge, in a Latin groove.)

    Very good. I do admire musicians as I am severely lacking in any musical ability, I had piano lessons as a kid and was dreadful. Thankfully there are people with significantly more talent and patience than I have in the world.

    I stole that and shared it with my colleagues in the cafe just now. Much childish giggling followed.

    Actually, the triangle is really difficult to play well. I only discovered this when I ended up sight reading on it in a rehearsal for a concert with Jose Cura conducting (I know, he's famous for singing, not conducting), and I was trying to read the part, look at the triangle so I hit it in exactly the same place every time while it tried to spin around, and watch Jose Cura.

    Oh, and I discovered that you can do vibrato on a triangle. See there's a whole world of experience out there with triangles you didn't know about.
