Just what I needed 🙏

as a drummer, I technically understood little, but I can still appreciate the further beauty you have given to this already beautiful tune!

Oh I love that tritone sub you rejected! I think in modal contexts getting functional with it for a brief moment can be rly shocking

Awesome video and great arrangement! I love how you think about texture, lots to learn from!

Amazing job!

Hello! I love all your analysis! Where did you find all those scores from Gil? Or, where did you find big band and small ensemble charts/reduction in general?

w video and arrangement

4:13 you dont consider it an open voicing when only the bass part is "open", thats still called closed

beauty

Okay, sorry, this is my first time here. Nice video Alex!

Hi Gil, nice video! I'm not even a musician, but this is still very interesting - and it's an engaging way of demonstrating the work of an arranger. I literally know more about quantum theory than music theory, but I digress. Watching Rick Beato's videos, I get lost within a few seconds of any music theory instruction he provides. I often query ChatGPT about music (in general) and sometimes for specific tunes. At some point it will be able to go online and listen to the piece in question and tell me if I've got it wrong or if I'm able to articulate what's going on musically in layman's terms. I gave the AI a description of a song, "Choro Das Aquas" by Ivan Lins, arranged by Joan Monné for the Sant Andreu Jazz Band hoping that it could enlighten me a bit. The original is very interesting, but the arrangement by Monné uses a great deal more dissonance and to great effect. I was also struck by the fact that Monné apparently wrote the arrangement specifically for a woman (he's worked with Carme before) with the point of view of a woman. The tempo was slowed just a bit and the dynamic range of the arrangement seems to be greater than the original. This provides space for greater introspection and instead of being plaintive, seems to be asking, "How did I get this so wrong?" This works perfectly for a female protagonists. ChatGPT couldn't actually comment on my observations, which is too bad. I think before long it will be able to answer my questions in a manner you or Rick might. In any case, I love that good content is available on YT - hopefully this type of video will not be displaced by torrents garbage content.

This is excellent!

What a wonderful arrangement! Well done!!

Such valuable content. Thank you.

Nice but I think original is slower, why change temp?

Beautiful! Great choices that really compliment the tune. The re-voiced figure at m22 that goes above the melody is a real pro touch that sounds great.

A very beautiful arrangement, Alex. Wonderful variations in the accompaniment, first longer notes and later more lively movements. Arrangements like yours reflect the music I love most. Thank you. A great shout out for the musicians, too, in particular Patricio. What a great tone and phrasing!

wait, the arrangement you showed was the original version?

Great! ❤

So tasteful

beautiful ! thanks for taking the time to explain your process, super interesting!

beautiful arrangment and great explanation. thanks!

i haven't watched the video yet but this is one of my fav tunes! rip wayne edit: loved it, as always

beautiful work and so well explained

Gorgeous! That inner line in the third phrase sounds to me like it's begging for French Horn.

Lovely arrangement, Alex 👍

Great work, Alex - as always!

ruclips.net/video/aXXr8KGUlXk/видео.htmlsi=1ftavIhtburw_WCz Big Band arrangement of Infant Eyes I did a few years ago Hope you enjoy!

neely :3 shorter :) gil :D

french horn and flute kind of made an imaginary oboe

Hey Alex, are these examples with real instruments or vst? Also, are these mixed (volume) or raw? Thank you for the videos about one of the coolest music ever made.

Which song is this little excerpt from? I notice you use it a lot and it sounds nice.

Very nice arrangement! You gave this standard tune a wonderful new vibe, Alex. Thank you for your detailed explanations how you did it.

Thank you!

Love that D6/C# ! Can't get enough of these minor 9ths :-)

Thanks 🙏

Very nice. 👍

man i dont usually comment in these videos, but i was recently in a jazz workshop and i had to play a charlie parker blues with a 6 horn ensemble, so I arranged it with your rules and stuff, and then some players played their lines wrong and the teacher blamed it on me having made a bad arrangement but, regardless, i liked the sound of it. that was my first sorta kinda arrangement for hopefully more to come. thanks!

soooo gooooddd

the challenge is getting it in tune LOL

Thanks for this valuable insight into the use of the oboe in jazz orchestrations. Sketches of Spain has magical sounds from the pen of Gil Evans.

very nice analysis.

Can you make a video on the different (more strange or atypical) instruments Gil wrote for? And how we can write for these new textures?

i knew it was the rite of spring by the thumbnail

Hi! I have a question about this. If you were to arange this for a big band would you give the rhythm section the changes that we had at the start (just 1 per bar) or would you give them the changes that change almost every beat (due to you reharmonization). Thanks!

This is great! I was waiting for that Ab in the last chord for so long until you finally changed it, literally shouted out loud with joy!

Hello!great video ,thank you very much!, I'm very interested, what's the theory for the upright bass, I know how to write walking basslines, but I'm always confused about the relationship with the lowest horn, should I follow it or just pay attention to the basic harmony,I tried to analyze the relationship, but I couldn't find any specific rules, thanks for the answer

bass clarinet here ;D

Great concept! Thanks for sharing.

for some reason this tutorial is kind of calming and satisfying. mabye its seeing the process behind these rich harmizations and then seeing the final outcome but its a tutorial i can actually pay attention to in full. great video!
