Chick Corea - Children Songs 

Or a shiver of trepidation!

ci mancherai Chick

and wonderful composer!

Bartok is the main inspiration not these French composers.

@@johnoldland7841 Chick often cited bartok as a main influence, but there are passages in some of them which directly quote harmonic progressions from Ravel. Le Tombeau de Couperin to be specific.

@@johnoldland7841 absolutely! his quartal playing where do we think comes from??

Je suis daccors

Must not forget Scriabin and Berg

Music will keep on growing thanks to chicks contributions and all the great musicians that came before him. It’s up to the next generation to pick up the relay baton and carry it a bit further and they will. Listen to Robert Glasper and Corry Henry and the new generation. When Art Tatum died, people said the same thing. Oscar Peterson and his generation of piano players picked up that relay baton and carried it further. When they died people said the same. Music will never be the same. Low and behold Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Herbie Hancock and all their generation piano players again picked up that relay baton and and carried it further. Music will always grow no matter who the musicians. I do thank Chick for having a positive influence on my life with his music. I will always remember him. His music will linger on. RIP chick.

Hey, I like dumbass Las Vegas magic! But yeah, I know... Chick Corea is a wizard.

@@jimsjazzz lol dumbass Las Vegas music 😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

verdad...

best legend ever*

If you like Mompou, I highly recommend the solo piano recording by Volodos.

He said once (I believe during a workshop) that these were meant to be portraits of different aspects of children's personalities, not pieces meant for children to hear or play necessarily.

Always been my preferred :)

All songs are wonderful but the 6 is really exceptional ...😎

Como podrías explicar eso?

They're all from the album CHILDREN'S SONGS by CHICK COREA

Yes, it's the same as Children's Song #6 arranged for the RTF band. There are a few other albums where Chick includes others from his CS series, like on "The Leprechaun", there's a version of CS #9 retitled Pixiland Rag. Also on "My Spanish Heart" he has CS #8.

and number 3 is usually the intro for Space Circus from RTF.

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

This is not a Children Song.

@@kubrickinho Have you got any idea of what is it then? Couldn't find it in the album too.

@@volhovm I don't know. I think is just an improvisation in that moment.

@@kubrickinho It sounds like and improvisation of 'My One and Only Love'

Expressions album

@@wkh4321music thank you

@@adctm you’re welcome Matheus

You might want to check out the duet album with Gary Burton (vibes) called 'Crystal Silence'. Some evocative pieces on the album - the title cut, Desert Air, Feelings and Things . . . If l may throw this out there - two albums by guitarists John Abercrombie (Characters) and Ralph Towner (Solo Concert - and now that l think of it - any of his four? solo albums.) I know - not solo piano recordings but, all of them are filled with fantastic evocative, impressionistic music a la Chick's Children's Songs. Ding, ding $.02. Happy listening.

@@pjcerto1074 Thank you!!

Unfortunately we don't know either? Can someone help?

I presume he was bored with Children Songs at this stage so he proceeded with some fresh new impro just for small break

He's improvising. He probably wanted to loosen up before the insanity of number 20. Not that he needs to loosen up. THis is so good

Either improvisations on no. 6 or on no. 10. The phrase work seems most similar to no. 10 to me, but this is just a guestimate.

They're not written for children. they're children songs because they are full of spirit, just like children.
