What a great privilege to tell the story of Koyunbaba as a Turkish. I respect to you so much sir. this is an unprecedented chance to watch this lesson first from you then Miss Julia.
I’m from Turkey and I can deeply feel the geography in this song. It is unbelievable, really, how music can depict so much and the musician as the magician who brings out the wormhole so we can be transported to places. Thank you Carlo baba! 🙂🙏🏼♥️
OMG... Please, please make videos of other parts too... For 30 years I have been playing, listening to and living with this piece. I love it so much. I am from that region and I live very close to that area. The piece is mystical and magical, out worldly magical... Thank you Carlo Domeniconi for giving this gift to the world.
Carlo Domeniconi is one of my favorite composers. I LOVE this piece!! I hope one day there will be instructions for Fantasia Di Luci E Tenebre and Variations On Anatolian Folksong!!! Thank you for sharing this!!
Koyunababa is one of, if not my very favorite pieces ever written for guitar and I play and listen to A LOT of classical guitar. The first time I heard Koyunababa many years ago, I was just mesmerized and completely enamored by the allurement of it. Words can't describe how all of my senses are always effected by this masterpiece.
Sevgili Maestro, Size Izmir Çeşme'den en derin saygı, sevgi ve teşekkurlerimi gonderiyorum. Ülkemizde yaşamış olmanız bizim icin ne büyük bir şans. Kültür ve Sanat malesef hak ettiği degeri bazen göremiyor topraklarımızda bu bizler için de çok acı. Sizin buraya gelmeniz pek çok nedenden ötürü muhteşem ama Koyun Baba nın bestelenmesi bu larin basinda geliyor. Onu besteleyerek bizi bir kez daha müziğe, ruhsal değerlere bağladiniz. Bu eseri sadece çalabilmek için gitara ömrünü adayabilir insan , müziğin icinde hersey var. Siizin gibi de hiç kimse çalamaz, sadece deneyebiliriz. Yaşayın, varolun, iyi ki varsınız. ❤
Molto Grazie, Maestro Carlo for sharing! 🙏 It's a pleasure to finally see and hear you on this platform. Best regards from the San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA 🇺🇸
Maestro mi sono trasferito da poco più di un anno nella sua città natale, e nonostante il mio peregrinare e chiedere in giro non ho mai trovato la sua casa natale. Mi piacerebbe conoscere il luogo in cui è nato, i posti che ha respirato prima di andar via dall'Italia, vorrei poter dire ai miei figli "qui è nato il miglior chitarrista del mondo" ogni volta che passiamo in macchina di lì. Sarebbe un regalo bellissimo, così come lo è stato ascoltare per la prima volta la sua voce.
Man.. this guy is a load and so is his piece. That being said if you can survive watching these vids with that very very patient chick right there, you will get a lifetime of learning. I’ve heard this piece decades ago, but it’s so nice to be lead through the details. Thank you. Italians huh
So happy to see you making this video to share with us. This piece is the most powerful thing I have ever learned and when I play it, it runs through my veins. Before this, all I have had from you directly to learn from has been your performances of the piece with your variations. I am overjoyed to learn more about your vision of the music here.
When I play this I get visualizations in my mind. I hear sheep and I hear echoes. When I learned A Rose in the Garden, it is just completely repeated, so it was a very good exercise in thinking about *why* I want to repeat and what the function is in the piece. Contrast that to something like HVL Etude #1, where I think the only purpose of the repetition is to warm up the fingers and muscles... Haha In my mind, in Koyunbaba, the repetitions are a device to shift between the protagonist awake, listening to sheep milling about and asleep, dreaming of another time, both of joy and of some indeterminate tragedy. I love experimenting with this by adding some harmonics as well since they can add a dreamy feel. I think that as the piece progresses, the dream turns dark and he relives some tragedy and when he wakes up, it sticks with him, like when you wake up from an intense dream and it hangs about your mind, bothering you even though it was just a dream poking into reality.
One of the most if not the most interesting piece of guitar ever written. As a guitarist I'm more into hard rock, shred, nu or heavy metal but Koyunbaba is something else. At least Master Domeniconi dared to explore very exotic territories which is about the notes and not the sound (as we do with electric guitar, pedals and stuff). Brilliant in every way.
Is it serious this channel has only 311 inscriptions? And this video only 3k views? Art is really something to only a few. I am a literature teacher and in this vacation I am going to play this piece. Thank you, Domenicone. I really love you and your work. No guitarist creates such a narrative like you with your guitar. 3 times, of course. The perfect number, the number of God, the number of Dante in the Comedy. Thanks.
carlíssimo y julia ... mil gracias por la alegria de verlos y escucharlos. excelente "master-class" (devamı dört gözle bekliyoruz) solamente faltó nombrar al burrito responsable de esa afinación carlo, genio 🙏🎶
Wow! Great to listen to your masterclass on Koyunbaba, Maestro Carlo! My all time favourite piece, although it’s an “old” piece for you! Looking forward to the rest. Greetings from KL
This is wonderful. Even I learn a lot and I am a Ukulele-player. My wish is that the master would write a short piece like this for Ukulele (Re-entrant or lineair).
