It was July when I recorded this one. That was almost a year ago, but I'm still putting it up before all of the newer songs I've recorded. I don't want this song to be forgotten and stay on my list for years.
This song is pretty long, but that's because it has 6 different parts. Similarly to this composition by Handel, the 6 parts are all dances that were meant to be played together. They're supposed to be connected by all being in the same key (G minor), but I noticed that Handel used similar melodic lines in some of the different pieces.
The last part (which starts at 18:39) has an interesting chord pattern called a "cycle of 4ths." It's called that because it goes in a circle -- the last chord is the same as the one you start with. I've seen this pattern in some jazz standards, too, like Autumn Leaves. You can find pieces of the circle in almost any jazz standard you listen to. Some things never change in music, no matter how many years go by.
Keep filling your teacup with music!
