just saw chick tonight, two hours ago, in SF. solo piano recital. it was like watching magic. he played these children’s songs. did i say it was like watching magic? not dumbass las vegas magic, but magic like the elves in tolkien, or merlin, or God improvising on the piano
I’ve loved him ever since the summer of 1976 when I discovered My Spanish Heart and listened to it all summer. Since then I’ve seen him in concert too many times to remember. I miss him so much already. A part of my youth had died too. God speed you on your way, Chick.
These are in the lineage of Ravel, Debussy, Satie. Important piano music IMO. I think they will eventually become part of the serious concertizing pianist's repertoire - just great Chick.
@@johnoldland7841 Chick often cited bartok as a main influence, but there are passages in some of them which directly quote harmonic progressions from Ravel. Le Tombeau de Couperin to be specific.
I see all of these wonderful musicians as the ones who influenced my life in a positive way. In fact they pushed my life in the right direction. Thank you chick for having a positive influence in my life. I will always remember you. RIP.
Music will keep on growing thanks to chicks contributions and all the great musicians that came before him. It’s up to the next generation to pick up the relay baton and carry it a bit further and they will. Listen to Robert Glasper and Corry Henry and the new generation. When Art Tatum died, people said the same thing. Oscar Peterson and his generation of piano players picked up that relay baton and carried it further. When they died people said the same. Music will never be the same. Low and behold Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Herbie Hancock and all their generation piano players again picked up that relay baton and and carried it further. Music will always grow no matter who the musicians. I do thank Chick for having a positive influence on my life with his music. I will always remember him. His music will linger on. RIP chick.
There's a striking parallel to Federico Mompou's solo piano cycle Musica Callada (it resonates mostly with the less jazzy ones of Corea's songs). Herbert Henck's recording strongly recommended.
O mundo está realmente se acabando, muita tristeza em tão pouco tempo. Espero ao menos poder escutar e assistir ainda durante algum tempo essa maravilha que foi este esplêndido músico Chick Corea. Que o bom Deus te abençoe em sua jornada querido amigo
Amazing, such peace, when he plays, remember I grew up listen to these children songs; I would sit down and listen and be transported to another world!
I don't know many adults, let alone children, that could understand or appreciate these tunes, especially Corea's interpretation. I am reminded of Bela Bartok's Hungarian folk tunes.
He said once (I believe during a workshop) that these were meant to be portraits of different aspects of children's personalities, not pieces meant for children to hear or play necessarily.
It's interesting that generally speaking, jazzers can play classical, but legit players can never develop that swing sense they need for sounding authentically jazzy.
Lo si dice in tante circostanze ma, questa volta è vero: se ci riferiamo al jazz come complessità di idee musicali e capacità di spaziare, attraverso un pianismo ricercato, oltre i soliti canoni, allora oggi il jazz è morto.
Yes, it's the same as Children's Song #6 arranged for the RTF band. There are a few other albums where Chick includes others from his CS series, like on "The Leprechaun", there's a version of CS #9 retitled Pixiland Rag. Also on "My Spanish Heart" he has CS #8.
You might want to check out the duet album with Gary Burton (vibes) called 'Crystal Silence'. Some evocative pieces on the album - the title cut, Desert Air, Feelings and Things . . . If l may throw this out there - two albums by guitarists John Abercrombie (Characters) and Ralph Towner (Solo Concert - and now that l think of it - any of his four? solo albums.) I know - not solo piano recordings but, all of them are filled with fantastic evocative, impressionistic music a la Chick's Children's Songs. Ding, ding $.02. Happy listening.
'if I forget the notes, I will improvise' puts smile on classically trained pianists' faces. you are dearly missed legendary, Mr.Corea. R.I.P.
Or a shiver of trepidation!
:( He will be missed but this music will touch our hearts forever.
ci mancherai Chick
Rest In Peace Dr. Corea! Your Children’s Songs have a special place in my heart.
Goodbye Maestro. Your music made the world a better place. You will be missed.
Goodbye Great Maestro! Thanks for your wonderful music, Rip Legend

Hey, I like dumbass Las Vegas magic!
But yeah, I know... Chick Corea is a wizard.
@@jimsjazzz lol dumbass Las Vegas music 😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
what can we say? speechless... a profit... a visionary... a poet ... a story teller. SUCH beauty. He knows who he is.

Bartok is the main inspiration not these French composers.

@@johnoldland7841 absolutely! his quartal playing where do we think comes from??
Je suis daccors
Must not forget Scriabin and Berg
I see all of these wonderful musicians as the ones who influenced my life in a positive way. In fact they pushed my life in the right direction.
Thank you chick for having a positive influence in my life. I will always remember you. RIP.
RIP Chick Corea, you were a great jazz pianist and a huge part of my record collection growing up.

Querido Armando, tú música va a seguir brillando aquí o... allá
RIP Chick. You brought me so much joy
Very nice - my childhood's evcercise... - never have ssen and listened to the original...wow
Improvisation starts on No. 6 ..... "forget the notes" my ass, this is a jazz piece! ;-)
- Chick, the painter.
There's a striking parallel to Federico Mompou's solo piano cycle Musica Callada (it resonates mostly with the less jazzy ones of Corea's songs). Herbert Henck's recording strongly recommended.
If you like Mompou, I highly recommend the solo piano recording by Volodos.
omg...pure beauty!
Rest in Peace
May your music live on
Pure Angelic Genius. Thank you Chick 💙
Gracias maestro QEPD

the greatest Maestro!!!!

Bartok would have loved these Children Songs!!
5:39!

5:41 Anybody know the backstory between 👧Children’s Song #6 (1984) and Song to the Pharaoh Kings? (1974)👑
Meravigliosa creatura della fantasia dell' anima dei colori
Rest in peace, Artful Dodger. We will certainly miss you.
I love U 4ever!
Chick Corea as a young man then, is still large and in charge getting the job done in Corona virus 2020.👍👏🇺🇸😎🌅🏆🤗
Chick Corea -- one of my favorite musicians of all time!
Lovely
CHILDREN'S SONGS es la historia de la vida de CHICK COREA como músico, lo pueden notar? :::
Como podrías explicar eso?
It's interesting that generally speaking, jazzers can play classical, but legit players can never develop that swing sense they need for sounding authentically jazzy.
no 6
Always been my preferred :)
All songs are wonderful but the 6 is really exceptional ...😎
the goat
Really good!

Was he also playing "Song For The Pharaoh Kings" also or does 1 of his Children's Songs have the same melody as that one?
Yes, it's the same as Children's Song #6 arranged for the RTF band. There are a few other albums where Chick includes others from his CS series, like on "The Leprechaun", there's a version of CS #9 retitled Pixiland Rag. Also on "My Spanish Heart" he has CS #8.
and number 3 is usually the intro for Space Circus from RTF.
buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Fantastic
Wish he’d write cello sonata!
Ciao Signor Corea...
Can someone break down for us...each piece by name...and from what movie or series or album?
They're all from the album CHILDREN'S SONGS by CHICK COREA
Why is number 12 missing? :'(
Edit: just realized it's a selection of songs
Number 6 Number 6.
Bravo ..Leonardo di maro RUclips jazz PIANIST COMPOSER
R.I.P.
❤❤❤❤❤
no. 3 goes hard ngl
I think the one at 15:00 is an improvisation
This is not a Children Song.
@@kubrickinho Have you got any idea of what is it then? Couldn't find it in the album too.
@@volhovm I don't know. I think is just an improvisation in that moment.
@@kubrickinho It sounds like and improvisation of 'My One and Only Love'
No. 6 and No. 19.
Requiescat in pace...
RIP
Walla billa chick korea goat
No. 6 Crazy shit
5:59
Can anyone recommend me some other Chick Corea's works similar to this?
Expressions album
@@wkh4321music thank you

@@pjcerto1074 Thank you!!
Chick corea chikdren song 6
He looks hier like Profesor( La Casa de Papel) ;) R. I. P.
what is the piece before the last one?
Unfortunately we don't know either? Can someone help?
I presume he was bored with Children Songs at this stage so he proceeded with some fresh new impro just for small break
He's improvising. He probably wanted to loosen up before the insanity of number 20. Not that he needs to loosen up. THis is so good
Either improvisations on no. 6 or on no. 10. The phrase work seems most similar to no. 10 to me, but this is just a guestimate.
9:12
Guessing not a whole lot of children are going to be playing these up to tempo.
They're not written for children. they're children songs because they are full of spirit, just like children.
Amazing genius. Other than chick: a rooster.
no 1
Basta de toser gente!
