MICHAEL FINNISSY
GERSHWIN |  |
Description:
These arrangements do not attempt to re create the spirit, sound or texture of Gershwin's songs as he imagined them or first heard them. They personalise and re style his melodies to suit scenarios and emotions apparently somewhat remote from those originally intended. Tempo and harmony change from fast to slow, light to dark, and vice versa. Suprisingly these major changes of character can issue from very slight alterations to harmony and rhythm, the simpler architecture of the original songs has usually been left unchanged. |
