The artistic license for a longer silencio is usually in the hands of a choreographer...

Yeah. Modern, and mine. I posted it a long time ago but I think the host dropped me for not using my account. I can repost it if you can't find it.


thanks, romerito. i'll dig around for it. so i take it, we DON'T have to stick to the Em - B7 formula and it would still be okay?

and i feel silly for asking this, as i should know this by now, but can you stretch the compas a bit for the silencio instead of playing it metronomically?

and yeah, what happened to the notation tool? it was cool.

No. As long as it is six compases and the overall phrasing is similar you can do many things.

cool! thanks! [:D]

If you are playing for dance be careful about timing but a bit of rubato can be nice with an experienced dancer.


ok,phew. i've been just following the movements of the dancers which isn't always metronomic.

Don't worry Anthony. Do your thing and keep those dancers in line. I am so glad to see you working and accompanying so nicely. Good work man.




aloysius -> RE: Silencio (Nov. 2 2010 8:00:53)

I've often seen silencios danced 8 compases long - and I've been taught a couple of 8 compas ones from different teachers. Could it be that they used to be 8 compases long and the trend is now for shorter ones? Or were the ones I came across atypical or a trend at that time? I can post audio if anyone's interested.

The other thing to check with the dancer is whether they want the silencio to slow to a stop and they start the escobilla, or if they want to do a castellana the usual thing would be to speed up through the 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 of the final compas into a remate.
Aloysius.




JasonMcGuire -> RE: Silencio (Nov. 2 2010 8:04:55)

6 compas is the norm and it has been that way for as long as I can remember.
