I present my interpretation of a very beautiful song written in 1941 by George Fragos, Jack Baker and Dick Gasparre. It was a hit for many artists over the years including Dinah Shore and Frank Sinatra. It was also used in the Fritz Lang directed 1952 movie "Clash By Night" from which the photo is taken.

'White Cat' by Acoustic Growl (Richard Barry)

'White Cat'

This tune came out of a wonderful convergence (happy accident); my collaboration with @devin-locke on "Theme and Variations" and a renewed interest in the painting of Bob Ross. One of the variations I became so taken with, I wanted to develop it into a full track using the original steel string voice of the collaboration then adding nylon string to enlarge the melody line.  "Happy Accidents" was a favorite saying of Bob Ross as he would go about his painting on Public Television.  I saw how it applied to me in how I have composed guitar music over the years;  the unexpected note or chord I first thought a mistake became a turning point for a phrase or melody line.  Some would call it "serendipity", for Bob Ross it was a "happy accident".  If you listen closely toward the beginning, you can hear my granddaughter Lily in the background, a bit of a cameo and very much a happy accident:)

The Art of Hoquet - D'Amore
November 2020
Duration: 2:45
Cover Art: John-Marc Ventimiglia

Based on the 14th century 2 part Ballade, Je ne cuit pas, by Guillaume de Machaut.  
The composition is written in a contemporary style using the technique of hoquet.

The term "hoquet" is a French word (in Old French also hocquet, hoket, or ocquet) meaning "a shock, sudden interruption, hitch, or hiccup".  Although the term is in reference to the secular music of the 13th and 14th centuries in France, the technique, under other names, could be heard in different types of music across the world as early as the 11th century.  Hoquet is the rhythmic linear technique using the alternation of notes, pitches, or chords.  In medieval practice of hocket, a single melody is shared between two (or occasionally more) voices or instruments such that alternately one voice sounds while the other rests.  Hoquet is also used in Indonesian Gamelan music, African music, Classical music, Jazz and popular music.

STEREOINDIE---Seed-by-stereoindie (Ruy Gonzales)

Let's end the dark times with a funeral march and start a new future with new power. The intro is a short funeral fanfare, then a gentle guitar sound is followed by the powerful rock sound, driven by a bass synth pattern. Look forward, stay confident and take care of yourself.
