| Comments: | The name "Canadian Paella" comes from the fact that I'm Canadian and, in it's original incarnation (Jan.2002) as a piece for solo bass guitar, it sounded somewhat Spanish to me. Upon my discovering Noteworthy and midi it underwent rather extensive alterations (improvements, I hope, but anything Spanish has disappeared) and it has been pointed out to me that the Spanish don't normally use minor keys. Nevertheless, the name remains. This piece relies on rhythm and the interplay between instruments to hold the listener's attention, rather than melody. There's been some discussion regarding the use of grace notes in pizzicato string sections, though it apparently can work. As I play bass guitar and have no experience with orchestral music I didn't realize this was unusual. Any comments/criticisms would be greatly appreciated. It's only Opus #1 and there's a lot of learning to be done. |
