Dance Of The Falling Leaves film+TAB
an original composition on a nature theme, performed on my Doug Berch mountain dulcimer in Ionian tuning EBB (DAA but in key of E)
when the leaves fall in autumn they are very hard to catch and can swirl around haphazardly
the beginning is loosely based on the French folk song: L’Auvergnat but it soon increases in complexity with rhythmic changes, more melody notes and a high passage, suggestive of swirling leaves
I fist heard L’auvergnat fromt he singing of French chanteuse Juliette Greco
an analogue delay (Boss = analog) on the Boss DD-500 delay effects adds a certain warmth to the dulcimer’s sound
