I have written my second piece Poppa’s wedding as an exercise for the Method Level 9 on pianote.com (songwriting). Had to work with verses and chorus, also 7ths. My inspiration was the wedding of Poppa, the wife of Viking King Rolo (who seemed to be one of my ancestors 🙄). It is in minor, because it’s not a happy event. Poppa was abducted by the Viking king, and her father was killed in the process.
Marcha by Dmitri Kabalevsky (op.39, no 10). From the Classical Method. No 14 for the 40 pieces challenge on Pianote.com
Honesty by Billy Joel was Derek’s song choice for the Weekly Song Challenge.I had a lot of fun to play with the layered voices and as always Hans enjoyed playing around with images generated by the AI.
Honesty de Billy Joel était le choix de chanson de Derek pour le Weekly Song Challenge (défi musical hebdomadaire). J’ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à jouer avec les voix superposées, et comme toujours, Hans s’est amusé à manipuler les images générées par l’IA.
Window of my eyes by the Dutch band Cuby and the Blizzards. Singing and playing the piano. I made a backing track with iRealPro to accompany my piano playing. In the intermezzo I improvised on my keyboard with Blown speaker, which gives an effect of an electric guitar. After that I’ve sung the lyrics (in some parts you can hear Harry Muskee, the lead singer of Cuby, in the background). Hans did the video editing. Quite a project that we worked on with great pleasure. Hope you like it.
Window of my eyes du groupe nĂ©erlandais Cuby and the Blizzards. Chant et piano. J’ai crĂ©Ă© un playback avec iRealPro pour accompagner mon jeu au piano. Dans l’intermède, j’ai improvisĂ© au clavier avec un haut-parleur Blown, ce qui donne un effet de guitare Ă©lectrique. J’ai ensuite chantĂ© les paroles (on entend parfois Harry Muskee, le chanteur de Cuby, en fond sonore). Hans a rĂ©alisĂ© le montage vidĂ©o. Un projet passionnant sur lequel nous avons travaillĂ© avec beaucoup de plaisir. J’espère qu’il vous plaira.
Morning Mood by Edvard Grieg. Level 8 from the Method.
Across the universe by The Beatles. This was Jenn’s choice for the Weekly Song Challenge on Singeo. It was too short in time to play (in Db!) and sing together, so I’ve sung along with my own track. I’ve made an iRealPro accompany band with the chords and played along on the piano. Hans spiced it up with our beautiful sunsets.
Across the universe des Beatles. C’Ă©tait le choix de Jenn pour le dĂ©fi musical hebdomadaire sur Singeo. C’Ă©tait trop court en temps pour jouer (en Db !) et chanter ensemble, alors j’ai chantĂ© en mĂŞme temps avec ma propre piste. J’ai crĂ©Ă© un accompagnement avec iRealPro en utilisant les accords et j’ai jouĂ© au piano.
