Amazing !❤

Thanks now I'm gonna go try and conduct Jerry Goldsmith's score to Capricorn One and probably fail at this, I often wonder how Jerry managed to conduct his own scores, sometimes he not only uses odd metres and compound metres but he also mixes them, it gives me a headache.

[@lukebeanstalker]

Can someone tell me what song he's singing at 4:01 because I've played it in an orchestra before and can't remember the name and it's KILLING ME 😫😂

america from west side story homie

[@FairyFellersMasterStroke]

Would you conduct a fast 5/8 on two, or???

[@laubowiebass]

Yes

[@sebp400]

How about a 7/8 that's fast? I was wondering how would someone conduct the beginning of 'Big Swifty' by Zappa. there's a lot of changes. Not that I want to become a conductor, I'm a drummer but I'm just curious. Could you just accentuate the downbeats somehow?

[@OliverCarrasco-olivermusico]

you can do the figure of 3beats but showin the accents (3+2+2 or any combination of these)

[@itamarbar9580]

Why would you ask a Zappa question in a classical video's comments section? Classicalists don't come near anyone from the second half of the 20th century, except film and musical theatre composers. They don't come near to Frank Zappa

[@JohnJApanovitch]

If it's a fast 7/8, 6/8, 5/8, etc., it all depends on where the accents are, and how you should exaggerate those accented notes. I have conducted a lot of pieces that have these odd meters, and I just listen to all of those accented notes.
