It’s interesting to reflect on how a song can evolve over time. Various circumstances may affect this including the format of the group or ensemble performing the song or the context in which the song is being heard (live performance, film score etc).
‘Song Journeys’ will demonstrate this evolution of song through a series of short annotated videos. The first video is about ‘Magical Smile’, a song which was originally written in 1994 (as ‘Smile’) but which I still perform, in a radically altered version, today. You can view the video by clicking on the image below. I hope you find it interesting.
The latest incarnation of ‘Magical Smile’ will be recorded later in the year.
