quote:
I was playing was only 9; 6 beats on that F chord then 3 on the E - before the main estribillo kicks in. The dancer gave me a quizzical look, but I am pretty sure this is right, yes? That does not sound right to me. There are a couple of things. When the Copla starts, there are two kinds, one that goes G7 for 8 beats then goes to C. G7 G7 G7/G7 G7 G7/G7 G7 C/C C C. OK, one compas. The other typical thing is a half compas in the beginning. This can mess it up for the dancer if they don't listen to singing, and only use choreography. G7 G7 C/C C C. The rest would be the same lengths as normal. In both cases, you have the harmony change (for the rest of the copla) in 12 beats where the chords change on that 9th beat each time. C7-F, G7-C, C-G7, G7-C, So plus the beginning you have 5 compases so far. The last line of the copla, the 6th compas, goes like this: C7 C7 F/F F F/ F F E/ E E E. So 12 beats like normal. THEN the estribillo. All coplas are this structure meter wise. You can do the Fandangos that goes E7-Amajor, Am-E7, but just sub in for the G7-C, and back. But always 6 compases or 5&1/2 depending on the first line of cante, or how your falseta goes if you are not working with a singer. Ricardo
