Goldberg 2012

Goldberg 2012

The first time I heard Bach's Goldberg Variations was in the movie Silence of the lambs, in the early 1990s. I noticed the beautiful background music in one of the scenes, but at that time I didn't know what it was. A few years later, when I was studiying at the Grieg Academy, I got to know the entire piece. For me, this is a piece of music which I can listen to countless times. I think it sounds as fresh today as it did more than 15 years ago and it never ceases to inspire me. Both Bach's composition and Glenn Gould's famous 1955 recording (which was the first one I heard) still makes a great impression on me. Before Gould recorded it at age 22, it wasn't a highly ranked piece amongst pianists and Bach was by many viewed as a bit old-fashioned. The young Canadian turned all this around. He managed to portray Bach in a reformed way, producing fine nuances in phrasing and making the many layers in Bach's music more transparent than anyone before him. Thus he plunged both himself and Bach (back) onto the international music scene. When The Norwegian Band Federation (NMF) asked me to write the test piece for NM in 2012, it was only natural for me to use the Goldberg Variations as a starting point and inspiration for my work. Since I was a teenager at NMF's summer courses in the mid eighties I've always listened to many different styles of music. Growing up in Sunnmøre with the Brazz Brothers as teachers and mentors, jazz-, pop/rock- and folk music were early on a natural part of my musical background. I also have my classical education from the Grieg Academy on trumpet. As the title of my piece implies, I've wanted to bring Bach to the present and put his music into various modern musical landscapes. I think you can bring about a special kind of energy when music from different genres are mixed and I've tried to do this by mixing Bach with artists and musical styles from the present. In Goldberg 2012, the music is often constructed by several layers, which in a way are living parallel musical lives. They are seemingly moving or floating freely, almost unaware of each other, but bound together by the same basic pulse. The rythms, however, are often notated on a different rythmic subdivision level than the usual 8th- or 16th note levels. By doing this, I hope to achieve transparent sounds that rythmically are perceived as more free and detached from each other. In large sections of the piece, pop/jazz is fusioned with elements from Bach. I guess you could have this little scene as a synopsis for the piece: picture a group of musicians meeting: some are classical performers, some are jazz. They start to improvise together, each in their own voice or musical dialect and I'm sort of in the middle, trying to write down what they are playing. This is what I feel much of Goldberg 2012 is about. The foundation of the piece, in addition to Bach and references from pop/jazz music, lies also in my own material. This material, basically two chords, is heard in it's purest form in the 1st movement. I use these chords to create scales, new chords and different motifs which contribute to blend together the different moods of the piece. It has not been my intention to copy Bach's form (theme and 30 variations), but rather to use the bits and pieces that I like the most as an inspiration for my own variations. The 1st movement, Aria 2, is for my 3rd son, Olav, who was born on the 21st of April 2011, and the 5th movement, From long ago, is dedicated to the memory of my father, Svein J. Giske, who passed away on the 6th of June 2011. -Svein H. Giske, January 2012-

Flight 4 String Boy Signature Ukulele - Black

Flight 4 String Boy Signature Ukulele - Black

Meet the Flight 4SB, a signature ukulele designed through a collaboration of Flight and ukulele artist 4stringboy.  The 4SB takes a popular pairing of tone woods and dresses it up for the modern player.   Combining a solid spruce top with a solid rosewood body, the Flight 4SB has a loud, crystal clear tone that stands out when you play it. Sammy Turton (4stringboy) wanted the ukulele to be dressed in black, which is why the Flight 4SB has a gloss black top, black tuners, black bridge pins, and a first for Flight—a black deluxe gig bag.  The ukulele also features some natural elements, such as a gloss finish on the rosewood body that reveals its natural grain, as well as the rosette, cutaway, bindings, fret markers and headstock which are finished with caramel swirls of spalted maple. Want to stand out from the crowd with a gorgeous, modern take on the ukulele?  If so, the Flight 4SB is for you, and you can have it in any color you want, as long as that color is black! A classic gets a makeover Solid Spruce Top, Solid Rosewood Back and Sides We paired a solid spruce top with solid a rosewood back and sides to achieve a sound that is both deep, warm and rich in the mid and lows as well as providing a clarity and projection in the high end. This is a very common combination of guitar tonewoods that works incredibly well on this tenor ukulele. Let's play African mahogany neck & rosewood fingerboard The neck of the Flight 4SB is made of African mahogany.  It is strong and smooth, adding to the warm tone of the Flight 4SB.  The fretboard is made of rosewood, a beautiful, strong, and hard wood that can add warmth to the sound of an instrument while lessening harsh higher frequencies of an instrument. Pitch perfect Bone compensated saddle and pin bridge The Flight 4SB features a rosewood bridge, as well as a real bone nut and a compensated saddle. Compensated saddles help to properly set the intonation of each string. The Flight 4SB includes a pin bridge system, which helps keep the strings properly aligned on the ukulele, as well as to create a break angle over the saddle that transfers vibrations efficiently to the soundboard of the ukulele. All dressed up Stylish spalted maple rosette, matching spalted maple scalloped cutaway The Flight 4SB features a stylish spalted maple rosette and a matching spalted maple scalloped cutaway.  The scalloped cutaway offers access to the highest frets without compromising the volume and tone of the ukulele. Turning heads Bold and striking headstock design The Flight 4SB shares the unique “modified” slotted headstock as some of the other ukuleles in our Royal Series. The headstock looks amazing and will attract action on its own, while the design is strong and effective, making sure that the break angle at the nut results in the best possible tone of your ukulele. Only the best gig bag Now in black The Flight 4SB comes with a special black Deluxe Gig Bag with an incredible velvety interior.  The gig bag of the Flight 4SB will catch as much attention as the ukulele itself! We think it is the best gig bag that comes with any ukulele, period.
