Medieval Dance by Andrey Vinogradov
For those curious, the instrument is called a hurdy gurdy and did in fact exist in medieval Europe.

Chaotic evil gang

double reed players exist
fun way to scare a musician:
tell them “good luck on the concert tonight” on a day that they don’t have a concert
You know what? Fuck this post.
Please share!
how does one start learning clarinet?

when the runs are in c major
This was the bird Stravinsky wrote about
The near complete absence of people.
The both legs in the air move
Police sirens in the background
Crocs and socks
How he tries to balance himself on the lowers steps
This man has definitely fallen after or before this was shot.
Prime example of a man redefining what it means to dream.
conductor: hey youre dragging a little on that solo

BD: why is a duCk QUaCkinG At 2 aM???
What’s a nice way of saying “You’re terrible, stop playing?” Asking for a friend.
Biggest fucking mood.
They’re also meant for hiltops, not small rooms. Cant get the right reverb with all that echo.
they’re also meant to make you fight the english. don’t forget that part.
My fav bagpipe player was a dude who would go out to the middle of a soccer field near my college apartment on Sunday. No one was using the field and he’d just be out there playing his heart out and the sound were just spread out over the plains. I’d be working on art for class so I’d open the window and listen. I still have fond memories of the day a kid biked up to the edge of the field, ran over to the bagpiper and the music stopped for a moment and as they talked. I couldn’t hear it but I had assumed the worst, that someone had decided to tell him to stop playing. Instead after the pause the musician seemed to nod, readjusted his bagpipes and started belting out the Star Wars theme.
i think ive reblogged this before but i still love it
6/8 is the best time signature don’t @ me
9/8 is the best I’ll @ you
see I’d agree with you except I absolutely hate counting in three
Wtf do you do in 6/8 then? 3s make either much easier
nope nope nope!
lol how would counting in 3s make 6/8 easier? 😂😂
how does counting in 6s make it easier??
I *believe* OP likes 6/8 because you count with 2 beats per bar, so you’re counting in 2s. 9/8 however would have 3 beats per bar, so you’re counting in 3s.
correct. I really like triplets and they’re easier in twos. DUH-duh-dah DUH-duh-dah makes me happy :)
Not gonna lie, 7/8 is my jam. Preferably when it’s 2+2+3, but the others are fine
you all are problematic
There is a monster in this music community…
I have to play something in 1/1
I have some strong contenders
Stravinsky - Symphonies of Wind Instruments (1920, rev. 1947)
Apparently, Debussy didn’t care much for Stravinsky. It’s possible that there was jealousy involved, that Stravinsky’s radicalism and cosmopolitan fame was outshining Debussy’s own, as if Debussy’s radicalism was the stuff of yesterday. Even so, Stravinsky loved Debussy, who was an inspiration to his own music. After Debussy’s death, a handful of major composers at the time contributed pieces to a magazine as a “Tombeau” for him. These included Ravel and de Falla. Stravinsky’s contribution was a short chorale which he revised as the ending section of this “symphonies”. Why the plural? Instead of writing “a symphony”, Stravinsky was referring to the older general usage based on the Greek, “sounding together”. It is also the last of his so called “Russian” works, right as he shifts towards a neoclassical idiom. It opens with his iconic “primitive” sound; the winds calling out in short bursts almost like birdsong, almost like a nasally folk tune. The second section is somewhat more lyrical, melodies floating around each other with light decoration here and there. The third section is more upbeat, and despite the “primitivist” sound, I can’t help but think of cars beeping at each other, like the onomatopoeias of Gershwin’s American in Paris. The last part is more serene, with a sense of reflection. It is the piece written for Debussy’s death, but it is more of a solemn farewell than a gushy melancholic cry. Stravinsky is trying to avoid Romantic lusciousness, which is probably why he chose to avoid strings altogether, and probably why he would soon shift to the more “objective” clarity of neoclassicism.
