Hi all,
Here's a french song about violins ! Christian

[Link no longer valid]

RT 914 Acoustic Bass
RT 365 Acoustic Guitar
RT 665 Acoustic Guitar
RT 2338 Violin
RT 2337 Violin
RT 2336 Viola

Quand j'entends le chant de ces violons,
j'éprouve toujours la même sensation.
Quelques notes, par leur vibration,
réveillent en moi une étrange émotion.
C'est la magie de la musique
avec son pouvoir magnétique.
Les cordes ont déniché leur cible,
elles ont touché ma corde sensible.

Et j'embarque pour ce voyage musical,
une île fragile, trésor végétal.
On y trouve des fleurs mélodiques
qui poussent, tranquilles et communiquent.
Sur les sentiers bordant cette île,
je me nourris de notes subtiles
issues de cette terre harmonique,
fertile en saveurs poétiques.

I've tried to translate the lyrics in English :

When I ear the song of these violins,
I always feel the same sensation.
Some notes, by their vibration,
awaken in me a strange emotion.
That's the magic of music
with its magnetic power.
Strings have found their target,
they have struck a chord with me.

And I board for a musical trip,
a fragile island,vegetal treasure.
There are melodic flowers
which grow quietly and communicate.
On the paths around this island,
I feed myself with subtle notes
coming from this harmonic land,
fertile in poetic flavours.

Really nice work! Love the atmosphere of the song. It has a certain floaty feeling to it. Really strong vocals on it too. I really liked that you put the translation too. I enjoyed the lyrics too - thanks for sharing smile

Hi Chris37, this was wonderful! The arrangement is a pleasure to listen to. Really managed to get all of the violins sounding grand together! Very captivating lyrics too (and thank you for translating them). Keep it up!

It has been a really long time since I last studied French, but the feeling of this song was very whimsical. Thanks for sharing!

Hello, "Chris37"...

Among the rich and varied pleasures to be had by listening to a piece of music, what could be more gratifying than listening to someone singing about music itself???

And the way you sing about the object of your affection -- "the song of these violins" -- is touching, literally, "Chris37". Dare I describe it as a love song? Why not? Your lyrics are unapologetically declarative in their expression of a passion for something that one loves:

"There are melodic flowers
which grow quietly and communicate.
On the paths around this island,
I feed myself with subtle notes
coming from this harmonic land,
fertile in poetic flavours."


There's no other word but "beautiful" to describe those lines of verse. They could only have originated in your soul, defined thusly: "emotional or intellectual energy or intensity, especially as revealed in a work of art or an artistic performance." So, there you have it, and quite simply, too.

You're an artist, "Chris37", and your song, "Le chant de ces violons" is a unique and lovely thing to hear.

Chris,

Very nice melody!
Beautiful chanson.
Especially the melody development and the chord progression in the second half are really good.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
