The third of 6 remixes of a lengthy (over one hour) improvisation on the melodies of ‘Frere Jaques’. Inspired by Mahler’s symphonic version i sing in the minor key not the major key.
Track begins with a flute solo, and mysterious low nonverbal indistinct rising melodies, An oboe solo dominates the first half with improvised abstract variations on the theme. There’s little discernible sign of the overt nursery rhyme for the first half of the song. The song marches into view with a rhythmic ‘Ding Dang Dong’ and nonverbal embellishments, variations on the themes with overlayed harmonies at slow and double time. There’s little sign of the theme in the whole piece as the almost bird melodies/calls bring the piece to an end.
This is a collaboration between myself , Moody Al and Knopfdreher.
