¡Gracias José Luis! Agradezco que te tomes el tiempo de escuchar y comentar. Esta canción en particular no me era familiar hasta ahora, pero la melodía es realmente hermosa.
This is such, and should be, a contemplative number it can work at a really slow tempo. This song is not, I would say, mainstream in the Christmas repertoire, but a very worthy musical number. I like the music without the words; it has more dignity, nobility. Craig did a dynamite number with this one. And you capture his sense completely. Some of those unxpected chords drive me wild. At first the uninitiated might think it's a bunch of wrong notes, but that sweet dissonance is what I live for. A little bit wilder than a deceptive or plagal cadence. Rather, a minor shock; soooo sweet. I had a dynamite theory teacher, gleaned a pretty robust understanding of music's building blocks, thanks to that nice taskmaster. Dr. Kim taught common practice period as a foundation which later built out in more compelling dimensions; he preferred it when stuff became more dissonant; ask him about a romantic composer? Makes a lemon sucking face and says. "Too sweet." Beethoven rolled over and told Tchaikovsky the news, which news did not apply to J S Bach, (and per my renaisance prof, mentor and personal friend, also Josquin des Prez). His music is completely unfamiliar to modern ears. We sang some of his scores in choir; what a trip if more than superficially understood. That is multi-dimensional music on steroids.
Pretty sure we did Josquin des Prez in choir--my history prof's specialty was Medieval and Renaissance music. I wish I had learned more harmony. I did have an amazing harmony teacher but just didn't really dive into it's relevance at the time that I learned it. Plus the RCM harmony doesn't delve into all these delicious jazz harmony. I am really liking Craig Curry's stuff!
@@elenafortinmusic Our choir director was a specialist in Renaissance music; some fabulous vocal music. We did quite a bit. My harmony is coming back now as piano is right there. Not much harmony in the solo voice unles you can double stop with a yodel. Jazz is tasty, delicious sweet and sour juxtaposed.
@@DavidMiller-bp7et Renaissance music is pretty neat, I have to admit that the Medieval stuff used to put me to sleep though. (I actually had a CD of Gregorian Chant that I used to fall asleep to!!!) Jazz IS extremely tasty.
