Latin #273

[Wade Cornell]

Here's a little Bossa Nova. Just enough room in this for interjections, accents, counterpoint and a few solo spots. It's in Concert D Major/minor as is typical of Bossas (and a bunch of other stuff!). Tenor and soprano play in E Major/minor while baritone, alto and sopranino play in B Major/minor. The sopranino has the first go in track 1. The second track is all yours. Have fun...no "Girl from Ipswich!!!"

Bookmarked! But, I'm not sure what you mean by "D major/minor".

Not strictly Major or minor as with many Bossa tunes it modulates (a lot) and uses both. The main point is the it's centered around Concert D. You can have the same thing in blues tracks where it uses both major and minor voicing. Here's something you can try. Play this using strictly major progressions, you'll find it works OK. Then try it with again using the minor, and it will still work. I mix these, but mostly use the minor.

As you suggested I tried both major and minor. To my ears the minor works better...but a mix adds some variety. Thanks for the explanation.
