Here are 2 contradances (country dances) found in the Flemish archives. Most of the dance collections in the archives only provide a melody line and every now and then a brief notation for a figured…Continue

"Dance of the Midnight Mouse was my absolute favorite from the beginning.
I can't publish my notes here, since they were in Dutch and translating everything would be very time consuming.
Anyway, such a contest opens our view on different styles…"
"Hi Michael,
I wrote on your YT page what a fantastic piece of work this is. Fantastic orchestration and recording. I like it a lot, mainly the dancing passages. It's so full of variation and harmonic inspiration, so rich in instrumental colors…"
"Just wonderful, Saul.
Is this a live performance? The pice is well built up and put down carefully, so nicely.
A small remark is perhaps that I hear some disturbing reflections in the highs and rather much reverb overall. But these are only…"
"Hi Ronald
Lovely piece, for sure. Unfortunately the chord accompaniment is a bit dull and the harmony is not always adequate. The recording seems pretty much OK and the flutes are brilliant, as well as their interweaving play. Maybe the percussion…"
"Hi Fabio,
Good to hear that you can fill your days with music in these tough and rough times, especially in northern Italy.
I don't recall having heard that piece before. Since it is mostly a solo flute, I really like it. It's very…"
"Hi Saul,
What a wonderful piece of expressive music. I love the flutes, they sound so delicately natural.
Thanks for sharing it!

"Hi Gerd,
After listening to the first movement, I repeat what I said before: good thorough composition with marvelous themes and accompaniment, gently varied between violin and piano, as a sonate should be. My sincere congrats for that, it is a…"
"Hi Gerd,
After listening to the first movement, I repeat what I said before: good thorough composition with many marvelous themes and accompaniment, gently varied between violin and piano, as a sonate should be. My sincere congrats for that, it is a…"
"Hi Gerd,
Obviously we talk about different harmony approaches here. There are indeed two systems to indicate the chords in classical harmony: the bass note system and the ground note system. In the first system you count from the written bass note…"
"Hi Gerd,
Quite an accomplishment again here! It is a very serious piece of work in a not so easy harmonization. I like all the variations a lot, but most the Cantabile, which bares to my ears the finest musicality.
What strikes me somehow is the…"
"Hi Tim,
Nice to hear that you like the instrument. If you consider buying one, please keep in mind that the good 'Italians' are pretty expensive! Roland offers some digital models that are quite affordable and with very decent sounds, many…"
"Thank you Jos for sharing this information. I checked that link out and it was interesting to read through it. I was not too long ago looking at potentially buying an accordion :) I looked at all of the ones here that were most commonly played. A…"
"Hi Timothy,
Thanks for having taken the time to listen (rare these days...).
That is exactly my goal: Bringing the traditional accordion in the spotlights, but in a totally different way. In the US the accordion is still considered as a typical…"

Hi Jos,
It’s fastlane(Phil) from the defunct Garritan forum. I’m glad to see you on here. I became a member years ago but I haven’t been active for some time. The prodigal son returns I guess. :)
