Britney Spears Counterpoint

February 2nd, 2012 by admin

Vincenzo Culotta plays my ‘Britney Spears Counterpoint’, a piano arrangement in which I had fun with a few phrases from Mrs. Spears (‘Hit me baby one more time’ and ‘Oops I did it again’). If you follow the words you always know where the melodic material is derived from. It came out a very dramatic text Here is the link for sheet music www.giovannidettori.com

@david203 If you have perfect pitch theï»¿ keys all sound very different. My personal favorites are C# and F# minor

@david203 We’re all different and therefore are more attuned to different things. Quod Erat Demonstratum.ï»¿

I never understand when people prefer one key over another (except for reasons of fingering and coordination with other instruments or voice, or perhaps for those with perfect pitch). I think all tempered keys in the same mode sound the same. Of course, if a piece modulates from one key to another, the specific target key becomes very important. If differentï»¿ keys truly felt different, then wouldn’t A=473 feel different, and maybe “better”, than A=440? It’s a reductio ad absurdum!

B minorï»¿ makes me want to dagger myself even having taken two Zolofts.

@guitarslim56 I respectfully disagree… C# minorï»¿ makes me need a Zoloft.

Love this one, too. As per the Lady Gaga, let me know if you’re interested inï»¿ me scoring these and including them in some concerts that I’ll be holding this year. Thanks!

@artofcounterpoint To quote the great Spinalï»¿ Tap – D Minor is the saddest of all keys.

@guitarslim56 All minor keys are “sad”. If you transpose this to C minorï»¿ it would still sound sad
