Eric Sarti's style. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ Hi there.
I, like a lot of people, have been quite [C] greatly influenced by the [Cm] music of Eric Sarti.
_ _ _ I [E] particularly like [Dm] the space, the subtlety and the colours he uses.
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
[Gm] It's ironic [Em] to think that in [C] 1879, [D] Sarti, when he entered the Paris [Gm] Conservatoire, [Cm] was [Am] labelled as untalented [C] by his [Em] teachers.
Yet his music lives on so much still [G] today.
_ _ [D] I sense that he [G] really felt each note, [D] and that is why perhaps [F#m] he was able to make such memorable music with so few notes.
_ [B] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] He referred to himself as a _ phonometrician, meaning someone who measures sounds, preferring this designation to that of musician.
_ After having been called a clumsy but subtle technician [F] in a book on [Cm] contemporary French composers published in 1911,
[B] _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _
_ [C] _ [C#] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ [E] _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _
_ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ his [Am] Nocion No.
3 attracts the attention, perhaps [Em] because of the exotic scale that it uses.
_ _ _ Putting it under the magnifying [A] glass, we can see that it uses [Am] a scale that is not at all widely known,
and is worth perhaps learning if you [Em] improvise and are looking for more colours.
_ _ _ Here is the scale of the minor chord.
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ So you can see that it has the 1, _ [C] 2, the [Am] minor 3rd, the flat 3rd, sharp 4, _ _ _ natural 5, _ natural 6. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ If you look at this, you can see that it's based on two triads.
_ _ A minor, _ [B] _
_ B major.
[Am] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
Well now I'm going to noodle around on the sound, on the saxophone.
_ _ And sometimes I'm going to hang on to those notes.
The flat 5.
You might notice that after a while it starts sounding normal.
Anyway, see what you think.
It's really up to you, it's just a colour and ingredient that you can use.
Hope you enjoy. _ _
