This is the Theme Music from Schindler's List, written by John Williams. I've played this on the Mid-Mo, trying to keep it as simple as possible to let the lovely melody breathe. Backing on tenor guitar. I've taken the chords (slightly simplified) from the lead sheet at Wikifonia: Link My recording using the embedded MP3 player: [MP3=1]http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=102525&d=1369614676[/MP3] Martin
I've now got around to uploading this recording to Youtube, with some stills from the movie. Having the images to go with the music helps a lot to set the mood, I think. Martin
This is another of my old tunes that I have now re-recorded. This tune really benefits from a bit of rubato which I couldn't easily do with my old recording method. Mid-Missouri M-0W mandolin Vintage Viaten tenor guitar Martin
Well delivered, Martin. You create a great atmosphere with this one, and the rubato certainly helps.
Very nice martin. I looked at doing this one but thought it needed a better tremolo than I could give it - so thank you for doing this. It's beautiful.
Thanks, John and Ginny. I'm pleased with the way this has come out and enjoy playing it on mandolin. Somebody on Youtube doesn't seem to agree... Martin
You played the mandolin very tasteful, Martin. When we go onstage we are vulnerable. There is no rule that all listeners agree. Or at least use tact.
