Notturno
The next interlude features Harpsichord and Double Bass. It is late at night, certainly after midnight, and a teacher plays quietly somewhere in the Ospedale. We continue to hear the nocturnal noises from the Barcarolle. A choir floats in and out of the music, perhaps it is the sound of the harpsichordist humming along as he plays. Check out the demo:
If you haven’t done so already check out this post to learn how I made some of the noise sounds. You also might wonder who brought a choir to the party. There’s no choir in a String Orchestra, right? In this piece there is. For Notturno I’ve asked members of the ripieno and continuo who aren’t playing to double as singers. They softly hum in the background as the Harpsichord and Bass spin out their late night tunes.
