Touring Germany



This tune is from an old German folk dance. It is very hard to make German folk music cool!

Very cool. I like it.

My one complaint is that the melody is a bit repetitive throughout the piece (which makes sense since it comes from a folk song) but could you mix up the melody a bit and take it to some other places.

Do we also get a Jewish stem?

I listened to this again and I'm ok with the melody. But I'd still like a Jewish stem if it can be done.

I was waiting on the jewish stem until approval on this.

Josh said...

Good idea to wait on the stem for approval. I've thought about it even more (I've spent a lot of time thinking on this one) and, while I love this music and it is great, cool German music, it doesn't really fit Ty's personality. The melody is too prodding. We need something that is still German but even more cool. Try focusing less on folksy German and look for inspiration in other German music traditions so that it is easier to make it cool.
