Synopsis "Theme Player: Best Loved Classical Themes (in English)"
Teo (Barry) Vincent IV is a technical writer and composer from California. He is diversity embodied. Musically there is the wild, creative and adventurous side, as in his many compositions and improvisations / impromptus. He loves to rework songs in new ways and "break the rules" of music whenever possible. On the other hand, he was a top technical writer, quality control specialist stress-testing security in large accounting firms. You see this in music with an almost mechanical accuracy in rhythm. While Vincent was a technical trainer and writer in California's Silicon Valley, he also composed hundreds of his own songs, plus recorded and performed in diverse music groups including Salsa, High-Life, African, Funk, Jazz Fusion, Jazz, Blues, Soul, Calypso, Zouk, Soca & more. High-Tech-Accounting-Nerd by day & Wildly-Visionary-Music-Artist by night! Vincent's scores demonstrate his technical writing, composition & arranging skills and love of the master composers' works. When possible he includes guitar chords and guitar fretboards to allow the option of collaboration with many types of accompanists. Soloists can also use the chords to aid their improvisations, and the chords give musicians of all levels better understanding of the compositions' structures and forms. All Vincent wishes is that more people can enjoy beautiful music with creative ways to interpret it & have fun with it! Some ways to enjoy Theme Player: Explore melodies that you know and love. Play just the 1st page of Clarinet Concerto. Play Ave Maria's melody and block chords from the guitar chords. In Ave Maria or Laudate Dominum, do the basic version then grab a part from the Trio Score version to embellish it! Explore around and find whatís fun! For the Trio Scores: The piano part is fully complete in Mozart's 21st Piano Concerto starting at bar 24, just start on page 3! Play the violin melody and piano right hand from Bolero together. When you have 2 pianos or keyboards 1 person can play the bass & violin and another the piano part.
