Hello again and welcome to our Rewind Wednesdays!
Rewind Wednesdays are when we go back into the roots and analyze a piece of music from different cultures. Various cultures are rich not only in terms of raw materials but also in the area of arts. In today's session, we will look at the similarities and differences in the musical elements of the four pieces of music.Today's pieces will be “Pista sa Nayon” and “Polka sa Nayon” from the Philippine Rondalla, and “Horse-steed rhythm" and “Horse-head fiddle solo” from a collection of Mongolian traditional music. The pieces of music from each culture are linked through their use of rondo form, application of texture and treatment of harmony.
