- During these interesting times, I intend to record some songs, that I hardly ever perform on stage. Things that I dearly like and sing to myself or my beloved ones, songs from all corners of the world. As I don't ever play them on stage, it goes without saying, that I am not pretending to play perfect versions here. It is just a way of sharing some rare pearls in my homemade version
here you'll find me playing an instrument, I only play as a loving amateur, it is called in Hungarian: tárógató, in Romanian, taragot. The instrument resembles a wooden soprano saxophone and was first made somewhere half way the nineteenth century in Hungary.
My instrument is rather old and one key decided not to function at the moment I blew the last note.
It is never late to learn new things: as I was looking up some background information about these two melodies, I found something that greatly surprised me. These two beautiful melodies are not French, as I had always thought, but they are actually American. They were recorded in French versions by (Les compagnons de la chanson), in the very same year, they were recorded in America. They are among my most favourite melodies and of course, playing them alone, I dearly miss all the excitement of the harmonisation possibilities I imagine in the back of my head. Well when this confinement is going to be over, we'll enjoy playing with our friends once again and colleagues even more...
The American titles are: Green fields and The green leaves of summer
Your repertoire is a patrimony of humanity, the way music simply speaks through you is a lesson to mankind, thank you!
PedroPaesSoprador thank you for your kindness! Life without music would simply be an error.!
very beautiful!
Very beautiful, dear Tcha!
c'est magnifique! Merci! :)
👌
Aaaaah Greenfields! Morceau que j'ai connu grace à Koen et Fapy quand ils formaient Waso.
Very beautiful sound on the tarogato!!! How do you do it? Wunderfull!
very happy, you like the sound. How, well, by listening a lot to Kallai Kiss Erno, or Bechet, and by practising to play softly with the least possible of unwanted parasite sounds, to get the tone as pure as possible. True, since I quit clarinet some 20 years ago, I haven't really worked on reed instruments...
