I really dig the track at the end- good tips too! Only thing, they weren’t Crotales, they were bell players that Copeland often used. I do like the use of the crotales in yours though. Just thought I’d mention it was Bell Players, not crotales. He didn’t use crotales much except a few instances in the 3rd game. Regardless, nice vid, and the track sounds like a harbor level, so I’m dubbing it Windmill Harbor.

Great video. Liked and subscribed

good video. Zappa is the whole magila. What didn't he do? I wrote "Threnody for Frank Zappa" out of gratitude for all his musical efforts . Google say jt productions "Zappa Beefheart' or " She Dances in the wind " I wrote as Stravinsky teen. Thanks

Your track sounds very authentic 👌🏼 great presentation as well, very in depth

Too difficult for my level. But really a good job❤ Thks

Awesome video man, love the breakdown.

I have a headache, now. Thank you.

I've followed Zappa's music since I was 10. Trust me that was awhile ago. Zappa takes to hyperbole to make a point. There are composers he looked at closely from the 19th Century as well. Ravel wrote music in the 19th and 20th Century. He mentions him as an influence in the liner notes of Freak Out. In one recorded interview I think I still own, a reporter asks him what he is listening to in his hotel room while on tour. Among the composers he was listening to were Chopin and Purcell. I've also read of him mentioning Gesualdo from the 16th Century. The brunt of his influences were from the 20th Century but it's not as simple as that.

KOSOVO IS NOT A COUNTRY IT IS RIGHTFULLY SERBIA

AWESOME!!!!

Really fine work here; your knowledge of theory is ... like an avalanche - in a good way. (Are there good avalanches?) I hadn't thought about Frank and counterpoint before. I kind of assumed that Frank would approach any of the classical staple techniques with his brand of mischief ... in any case you reward many of us who are curious about composition but lack your thoroughness and insight - thanks!

Why do you call it "fake counterpoint"?

I like _Belhoro_ (2020)!

3:45 I just wanted to ask, did you edit ruth’s part from You Can’t Do That On Stage Anymore at a higher speed atop the Roxy by Proxy version? Or is there a version without Bruce Fowlers solo where it is performed in 16th notes instead of 8ths? Thanks for the great video.

" watch Ruth" ..

FRANK ZAPPA'S THE GREATEST !!!!!

Tobacco Enthusiast? Nah, Vegetable Connoisseur

*promo sm*

Your diction is perfect. Your analysis makes sense.

Thank you for going through this piece with us. Worth multiple plays. Cheers.

I have ~zero knowledge of making music, can't read notes, don't play instruments, but this is so fascinating! I like your song at the end! Gives me instant Spyro-vibes :-)

Fantastic analysis, I'd love to hear Frank's thoughts on it.

Much appreciated, brother!

This is pure creative genius explained. I can’t thank you enough!

How can I also get great bass sound like yours?

Excellent! Inspiring - will experiment with this. Looking forward to the Dog Breath video!

i hear a woody shaw influence in the mercenaries stuff. big ups!

your guitar neck diagrams make my eyes bleed, but your harmonic and rhythmic analysis are spot on to me. edit: are

Would you like to use my nakin?

Zappa wrote Sonic the Hedgehog game music. That's what I learned 💭

EVH and Alan Holdworth would do similar sorts of things with "Symetrical Scales" that used a single repeating fingering pattern across the strings to create novel "scales"/patterns.Great for faster "shred" passages too.

I always though it was based on Nicolas Slonimsky's "Thesarus of Scales and Melodic Patterns."??? Do you know it and can you confirm it is?

This is terrific! The rhythms on the Roxy version have been driving me insane for years. Thank you so much for taking the time to figure this out and explain it so beautifully. This is truly a great service to humanity.🎉

Fantastic, thank you. I'll be watching this more to absorb the insights.

IT HAS BEEN POINTED OUT to me that I completely and utterly bungled the perspective of the guitar chord diagrams! Here is a fixed version of the major 7th chord - from the perspective of somebody sitting opposite the guitar. instagram.com/p/CvWaXdjyyQa/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Albano the Madman's "Titan Arum": ruclips.net/video/lckMe7WkQwI/видео.html My bandcamp: samuelrhoward.bandcamp.com/album/mercenaries NMC Recordings Map: www.nmcrec.co.uk/big-lockdown-music-survey-map This is only the coda of Echidna's Arf! Perhaps I'll look at the rest of the tune some other time, but this is certainly the most interesting part, although there are other contenders within the tune.

This video is what all wannabe-fan composers using his sound fonts are missing. I can tell they don't have the same mentality as him when arranging them.

Great googly moogly!😃

"Jazz is not dead, it just smells funny."

Ahh, Zappie

Yes indeed, here we are

I never would have expected this to be in my sub box this morning but I'm so glad that it is

Love it

FOR THE BOLIC BASIC TRACKS referenced in the video, click "show more" on the description. In terms of the form of this piece, the metric structures seem to be very much based around the length of the lyrics' phrases. This pieces is dominated by a call-and-response type dynamic between Zappa's narration and the word-painting built into many of the phrases that you can hear responding to Zappa's utterances in the original non-instrumental version. Texturally, accompanimant is largely sparse, being driven by the late, great Ralph Humphrey's drumming, with most of the ensemble joining in to play unison passages, either the recurring blues licks, or the more comical effects. I have transcribed the accompaniment as it appears on tracks used by Zappa on the Apostrophe album, but as you can hear in the rejected take which directly precedes the used basic tracks on the Bolic Studios recording, it varied every time they played the song. I did not analyse Rollo Interior... because I have already done that! Go to the video linked both in this video's annotations and in the description to see this. I transcribed the entirety of what you see here. Let me know if you would write anything differently! There were multiple things I would frequently change my mind on, especially the best way to notate the song's meters, which feel intuitive, but don't always look so neat on the page.
