Easter is Almost Upon Us!

Dear 6/8 friends, I decided to go out on a sort of limb today and use a personal composition as my example of 6/8 this week, only because it is called "Easter Song" and it is supposed to depict all the important parts of Holy Week and what-not. Be forewarned that the song is not in 6/8 until the super-allegro part near the end, but as that part is supposed to be the resurrection, it has the most emphasis in the song anyway - so I don't think it will be hard to find if you are listening for it. Also, there is a part in the song where I hesitate because I lost my fingering, and another spot where I play a completely wrong note and have to amend completely - do not be so harsh with me, however, because this is the first composition I have uploaded. But in any case, enjoy! Happy Easter Holidays!

"In the Dark of the Night"

This, I believe, is the second post which has a song from the Disney film "Anastasia." Apparently it was a 6/8-tactular movie. Enjoy this catchy, spooky portrayal of mystic Rasputin:

VSQ to rock the World

I have succumbed to a weakness and I am going to post another Vitamin String Quartet song! This was on the same CD as the song on my previous post.

This is a really cool song, and not all of it is in three. For a good portion of the middle, it switches back to 4, and then to 3 again.

I hope you enjoy it, and it is pretty super snazy.

Un Extrait d'une Chanson en Francais

Puisque je ne pouvais pas trouver la chanson entière, je vous présente l'extrait que j'ai trouvé sur l'Internet - C'est par Naast - J'espère bien que vous l'aimerez autant que moi!
