The entire work, except the coda, consists wholly of semiquaver (sixteenth note) arpeggios, spanning large lengths of the keyboard in the space of one bar. The initial theme is expounded upon and changes to many different keys.
The ukulele (/ ˌ juː k ə ˈ l eɪ l i / yoo-kə-LAY-lee; from Hawaiian: ʻukulele [ˈʔukuˈlɛlɛ]), also called a uke, is a member of the lute family of instruments of Portuguese origin and popularized in Hawaii. The tone and volume of the instrument vary with size and construction. Ukuleles commonly come in four sizes: soprano, concert ...
A contrafact is a musical composition built using the chord progression of a pre-existing song, but with a new melody and arrangement.Typically the original tune's progression and song form will be reused but occasionally just a section will be reused in the new composition.
In this case, the chord is viewed as a C major seventh chord (CM 7) in which the third note is an augmented fifth from root (G ♯), rather than a perfect fifth from root (G). All chord names and symbols including altered fifths, i.e., augmented (♯ 5, +5, aug5) or diminished (♭ 5, o 5, dim5) fifths can be interpreted in a similar way.
The naive chord (C,E,G,B ♭) spans six frets from fret 3 to fret 8; [50] such seventh chords "contain some pretty serious stretches in the left hand". [47] An illustration shows a naive C7 chord, which would be extremely difficult to play, [50] besides the open-position C7 chord that is conventional in standard tuning.
In tonal music, chord progressions have the function of either establishing or otherwise contradicting a tonality, the technical name for what is commonly understood as the "key" of a song or piece. Chord progressions, such as the extremely common chord progression I-V-vi-IV, are usually expressed by Roman numerals in
These chords are all borrowed from the key of E minor. Similarly, in minor keys, chords from the parallel major may also be "borrowed". For example, in E minor, the diatonic chord built on the fourth scale degree is IVm, or A minor. However, in practice, many songs in E minor will use IV (A major), which is borrowed from the key of E major.
The limitations of the ukulele causes the orchestra to think creatively about how to cover a musical piece, popular tunes are broken down to their constituent parts and then with each musician sticking a distinct part, the combination of different soprano, tenor, baritone and bass registers of ukuleles are used (with separate members playing ...
