Fong, Rich - Habañero

Post by oski79 » Wed Sep 13, 2017 4:35 am

A recording of my piece, "Habañero," with thanks to Eric Cabalo and Maximo Pujol for their help and suggestions. Hopefully you'll think I'm a better composer than player...

Here's a link to the score:

:applauso: Don't know why, but I could just imagine you dancing to this one, Rich. :-D Of course with someone else playing for you!
I really liked the B section when the sun comes out. It makes such a nice contrast to the more serious sounding A section.
Very nice work.
:merci:

That's the mood shift I was looking for, and that's also exactly how Eric described the tune going from A minor to A major-- like the clouds lifting and the sun coming ou!

Thanks all very much!

Wonderful, Rich; very accomplished writing. I'm picturing the A section as a sultry dance, transitioning to the more exuberant B section.

Thank you Jeffery. My wife and I took up ballroom dancing a couple of years ago, and I've been trying to write things we can dance to. You got exactly what I'm looking for.

Much nicer than the last habañero I encountered, and with much less screaming and tears.

But seriously, really nice :)

I assume by "partition" you mean the score? There's a link to it at the bottom of the original post.

Thank you very much! :D
