Phantom Lover - 4m07s

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 09:06:53 -0500

A slow tempo for this Smooth Jazz instrumental. Instrumentation is made up of acoustic piano, electric guitar, acoustic drums, electric piano and electric bass guitar. Four minutes and seven seconds long, as you might suspect with a name likePhantom Lover it has a dark and bluesy feel to it, there is mischief and mistrust stamped all over what is a cagey and edgy piece of royalty free music. The main theme of the track is a harmonized melody from the electric guitar and provides an answer and call regime that is answered by some very jazzy and funky electric piano playing. At times sounding like Stevie Wonder with a mid seventies sophisticated smooth jazz feel the track provides a happier or more positive contrast by using more major chords but interestingly maintains the main melody. All in all providing the media producer with a top class solution for his media production. Excellent musicianship and top sound quality make this stock music great value for money.

Smooth Jazz is seen as a contemporary sub genre of Jazz but it is agreed that its roots can be found in pop music, R&B, funk and Jazz fusion. Usually very melodic and relaxing, Smooth Jazz is used frequently as music beds in Film, Television, Radio as well as background music in Hotels, Restaurants, Department Stores and Airports. David Sanborn and George Benson, to name but a few, are artists who helped develop this genre over the last thirty years.

Also it is thought that they were written just after 1600 which places them at the end of the Renaissance period and at the beginning of the Baroque period. Probably written for the Lute, this version is performed on a Classical Guitar. At just under a minute Allemanden No.4 has a moderate tempo with a charismatic and joyous sound and features some dexterous ornamentation that gives the piece an authentic and lively Baroque feel.

The word Allemande (from the French word meaning "German") is a musical term for a type of dance, it usually was the first dance of an instrumental suite and is called Allemande as a reference to the dance which was thought popular in Germany at the time.

Just as the piece above, the allemande was typically recited with a moderate tempo and could commence with any beat of the bar. In short, the dancers made a line of couples, extended their held hands forward, and paraded up and down the room, making three steps, then balancing on one foot.

Allegretto - 0m58s

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 04:17:58 -0500

Allegretto is a fifty eight second instrumental played on a classical guitar that in Renaiisance times would have been played on a Lute. The word Allegretto is a musical term form a particular tempo, the speed of Allegretto is moderately fast as is this piece of stock music and usually thought to be a little slower than allegro and quicker than andante. Allegretto also means a music passage or movement obviously with the stated tempo. Which means there are many pieces of music called Allegretto and what would usually distinguish them would be their Composer. This piece in particular is anonymous and probably written around 1600 AD but it is quite well known as a Renaissance Allegretto. A thoughtful and perhaps serious piece of music with a descending chord movement and a striking dynamic section which resolves to the major, both sections are repeated twice though played slightly differently each time with skillful attention to varying the attack on the classical guitar's strings.

Allegretto is an authentic piece of Renaissance music and instantly conjures up images of Renaissance meetings, typical courtyard and market scenes.

A Funk Rock instrumental featuring very busy funky bass guitar employing the slap bass technique. The electric guitar is classic Jimi Hendrix style rhythm guitar that is both lyrical and percussive at the same time. The acoustic drums are quite rocky and could be compared to the Red Hot Chili Peppers style of drumming. This peice of royalty free music is available for instant purchase and download. This piece of music can be bought as a stereo mp3 at 320 kbps or as a 16 bit stereo WAV file. To suit all kinds of media especially podcast, video and website productions and film production.

A short history of Funk Rock: Jimi Hendrix was probably the first Rock Guitarist to blend the choppy rhythms and guitar lines of early funk to his own music. Manic Depression displays some very clever Funk Rock guitar lines and the wild soloing in Voodoo Chile has become a kind of template for Guitar players to let rip their imagination on hard Funk Rock instrumentations. A noteworthy Jimi Hendrix album featuring good funk guitar and funk rhythms throughout is Band of Gypsys , the song "Power of Soul" being a great example of this.

The 1970s supremo for Funk Rock has to be George Clinton who incidentally had played with James Brown. In fact James Brown is never too far away from the epicenter of Funk music and was very important in the development of the Funk genre. But it was former members of his band, Maceo Parker, Bootsy Collins and also the very talented guitarist Eddie Hazel that helped define that 70s funk rock sound with groups like, Funkadelic and Parliament. Maggot Brain and Mothership Connection are two albums of classic Stature from these two bands. Clinton's influence is undeniable and can be heard with modern Hip Hop artists such as Snoop Doggy dog and Jimi Hendixs most obviously influenced band today is the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Many other artists and bands share these influences, such as Prince, Jane's Addiction, Fishbone, Primus, Living Colour, Spin Doctors and Lenny Kravitz.

Greensleeves (Version 1) - 1m56s

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 05:16:58 -0500

"Greensleeves" needs little introduction and is well known as a traditional English folk song from the medieval period. Performed on a classical guitar this romantic song would originally have been played on a Lute. This version is set to a moderate tempo. A slower version is also available. This piece of royalty free music is available for instant purchase and download. This piece of music can be bought as a stereo mp3 at 320 kbps or as a 16 bit stereo WAV file.

It is believed to have been written at sometime in the 1580s or at least first published at that time by the London Stationer's Company and was titled "A New Northern Dittye of the Lady Greene Sleeves". It was also known by different names such as "A New Courtly Sonnet of the Lady Green Sleeves. To the new tune of Green sleeves.: See Extract below.

Perhaps one of the most interesting unproven facts about Greensleeves is that King Henry VIII (14911547) composed it as a dedication to one of his wives to be, Anne Boleyn. Disappointingly it would seem that old Henry did not coin the tune as its particular style was not known of in England until long after the King had passed away.

The song itself, see extract below, is ultimately about the Lady of the song rejecting her lovers advances and goes someway to dispel the belief that the Lady was somehow promiscuous due to her wearing green, which was seen as having sexual connotations in the Medieval period.

Extract of Greensleeves lyrics:

Alas, my love, you do me wrong, To cast me off discourteously. For I have loved you well and long, Delighting in your company.

Chorus: Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady greensleeves.
