QDV = Quick and Dirty Video. That is a quickly made video!
Way cool!
Here's a video I promised...... Who did I promise! Anyway more on the separating of the hands and playing. Totally inspired by watching David Friedman and listening to him at the workshops and listening to him.
Inspired by Ted Wolff!
This is a really nice work for solo vibes. Originally written by Hector Villa-Lobos for voice and cellos, this is just one in a series of pieces that were an attempt freely to adapt a number of Baroque harmonic and contrapuntal procedures to Brazilian music.
The accompaniment is often just arpeggios, so let them ring. You'll need to mallet dampen the melody at several strategic places. The goal, as always, is to have the piece sound as full and clean as possible. Fullness comes from leaving the pedal down a lot, and cleanliness comes from pedaling and dampening in all the right places.
Ok, guys. I just found this on youtube and I searched on the site and I believe this has not been posted here.
ok, forgive me if I'm wrong, but if I'm not.... WWOOOWW!!!
I believe this is one of David's students, right?
Man, he just kicks ass on this transcription of Chega. I couldn't believe it!!
Enjoy!

I've been a subscriber to Vibes Workshop for some time now and just wanted to tell Tony and everyone involved with the site how much I've enjoyed it! The video is a piece by Ney Rosauro (Brazilian composer) that I've been working on. For those of you that aren't familiar with Ney's music - I think he's a wonderful composer who captures the flavor and atmosphere of Brazil so well. Hope you enjoy.
