Hi, my name's Howard, I play in a tribute band called the Book of Genesis, which is
a Genesis tribute band, focusing on mainly the Gabriel era of Genesis.
I thought it might
be of interest to you to see how Tony Banks has taken some of his music that he's written
in Genesis from classical music.
I'm going to show you a couple of examples of this,
there are quite a few actually, but some of you may have already noticed this.
But anyway,
firstly the overhand technique that is so well documented that Tony uses in things like
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway.
Actually this comes from a technique that was developed
certainly by Debussy about a hundred years ago, but actually could have been somebody
even before that.
But it's a technique that enables you to play fast passages of music
by playing notes in between notes with the left and right hand.
It's very well known
in The Lamb Lies Down.
So I'm going to show you in The Lamb Lies Down, then I'm going
to show you where it comes from, which is an example of that, which is a mouvement by
Debussy.
So first The Lamb Lies Down, I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with that,
[E] the famous overhand technique coming in there.
The other place it's used is [A] [E] the opening of
the Carpet Crawlers and [N] it's also used in The Lamb Lies Down, that same pattern in the
middle bit.
So Debussy invented this technique I believe, I haven't seen any earlier uses,
but there may be some.
[D] Mouvement is a good example.
[E] You've got that [C] same alternating
effect [D]
which again gives a very fast sounding sequence.
[Em] The other place I'd like to show
you that comes straight to mind is in Ripples.
If you think of Ripples, you've got [F#] the
[Em] [C]
[E] [B]
[C]
[G] These augmented chord sequences [D#] appear in Chopin and also in Saint-Saëns.
I think Saint-Saëns
copied actually Chopin in the [F#] Aquarium.
[D] [Am] [G]
[D] [C] [F#]
[G] [N] The same sort of sequence, watery sequence, that
Tony used in Ripples for the same effect, to get the effect of water.
I think this is
almost certainly where Tony had the idea for that.
I'm sure there are many more examples,
when I find a few I will make another little video.
I hope you enjoyed it.
