Handel, The Harmonious Blacksmith (theme and variations)

The Harmonious Blacksmith (theme and variations from Suite in E major, HWV 430) by George Frideric Handel, performed (on a harpsichord of his own construction) by Colin Booth, with an animated graphical score. FAQ Q: Where can I get this recording? A: Here ... https://www.colinbooth.co.uk/harmonio... Q: Where can I learn more about the performer (and instrument-maker)? A: Here ... https://www.colinbooth.co.uk/ Q: What do the colors mean? A: Colors are assigned according to pitch, in a system I call "harmonic coloring" (since it shows changes in harmonies). You can read more about this here: http://www.musanim.com/HarmonicColoring/ N.b. Because the notes in this piece stay almost completely in the E major scale, I've used a broader range of colors for those pitches, and used gray for the one pitch (A-sharp) that's not in that scale. Q: What do the shapes mean? A: The ellipses show the pitches of the harmonic outline of the piece; these appear the first time a particular pitch is first played. The other shapes are tailored to the character of each variation. Q: Where can I learn more about this piece? A: Lots of places, but let me recommend Colin Booth's article (n.b. the "Odd Note" is given a special graphic in the animated graphical score): https://www.colinbooth.co.uk/_files/u...
