переслушиваю уже много лет, спасибо

I 've found some guitar variations of this old European musical theme in my archive (composer anonym, around 17.00). This ancient chord progression is used in many popsongs...  

Which variation do you like the most?

Una danza nel paese, dipinto da Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo, c. 1755 
La Passacaglia è una danza popolare d'origine spagnola e in voga alla corte di Luigi XIV. È probabile che il termine "passacaglia" derivi da “passare per la strada” (pasar por la calle), musica di musicisti girovaghi per danze forse licenziose, in tre tempi, che ritorna circolare su se stessa come il valzer; la ripetizione  favorisce le improvvisazioni degli esecutori. 
Halvorsen fu un celebre violinista norvegese, direttore d'orchestra e compositore che oggi è ricordato principalmente per la sua brillante "estrapolazione" della passacaglia di Händel.

La citazione nel video è di Isadora Duncan,  Americana (1877-1927), è stata una pioniera  della danza e ha sviluppato uno stile così naturale che molti critici credevano che la sua danza fosse improvvisazione. Ha usato movimenti "onde" e forme circolari durante la sua danza per dimostrare la sua filosofia secondo cui il movimento proviene dall'interno, come i raggi emanati dal sole.

The Passacaglia is a popular spanish  dance in vogue at Louis XIV's court. It's probable that the term "passacaglia" derives from "passing through the street" (pasar por la calle), music by wandering musicians for perhaps licentious dances, in three strokes, which returns to circulate on itself like the waltz; the repetition favors the improvisations of the performers.
Halvorsen was a celebrated violinist, conductor and composer who is remembered today primarily for his brilliant "extrapolation" of Handel's passacaglia.

Sentence in the video "The wind? I am the wind. The sea and the moon? I am the sea and the moon. Tears, pain, love, bird-flights? I am all of them. I dance what I am. Sin, prayer, flight, the light that never was on land or sea? I dance what I am." Isadora Duncan. 
Isadora  Duncan (1877-1927) was an american pioneer  of dance developed a style so natural that many critics believed that her dance was improvisation. She used “wave” motions and circular forms  throughout her dance to demonstrate her philosophy that movement comes from within, like rays emanating from the sun.

Vers Les Empyrées

...after 150 compositions I found its time to go out an meet my audience. First I am planning a solo piano tour over europe in 2016/2017. Next I am planning to go out with a real emsemble (4-7 musicians) and perform a series of piano/emsemble concerts to wherever it takes me. It needs a lot of preparation and it needs a lot of arrangements (synthesizer, sample, bass, cello, viola, violin, maybe some drums and percussive effects). This is where you come into place. Amongst all collaborations I will choose the best and add them to my live program. As an arranger you will get 50% of all digital sales profit (after cost for orchestra and studio) for the respective song which will be published on the live and studio albums I am planning. As said, the project is a huge undertaking for an individual like me and I am not sure I will manage to make it. So in first place you should take part in this collab to have fun and because you love music !

Thanks

Dirk
