Cello,Clarinet,Piano,Violin - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1381033 Composed by Jason V. Barabba. 21st Century,Chamber,Classical,Contemporary,Disco. 48 pages. Barabba Music #965749. Published by Barabba Music (A0.1381033). Itâs difficult to know what to say about this piece. It will probably always be an aberration when considered as part of my larger body of works. My challenge when writing this piece was to incorporate two different dance styles, and I immediately decided it was time to face the disco music of my childhood. Yes, I had the Bee Gees on LP when I was a kid.âŚand ABBAâŚbut I left them out of this piece.Obviously, this is meant to be fun. There are direct (if not always obvious) quotations to the following songs:       Anita Wardâs âRing My Bellâ       âNight Feverâ by the Bee Gees       Gloria Gaynorâs âI Will Surviveâ (Just had to be included)       Lipps Incâs âFunktownâ       and âBoogie Nightsâ from HeatwaveThe ancient dance form known as the pavane is, weirdly enough, the perfect pairing with the discoâŚin that their rhythmic structures easily go together, allowing me to spread the disco material around throughout the piece. In fact, the references to âI Will Surviveâ are in the slower pavane section, not the disco.The piece is basic A-B-A form (Disco-Pavane-Disco) with a fadeout endingâŚbecause in all my research I donât remember finding a single disco piece that didnât have a fadeout ending. It just wasnât done. Please have some fun listening to this piece, because I had a great time writing it. Itâs unlike anything Iâve ever written..pdf contains a complete set of score and parts. There are also versions with Flute and Oboe in place of the clarinet available. For more information visit www.jasonbarabba.com.
