And now for something completely different
The main reason the waltz theme from Midsomer Murders sticks in my head

Hi, can anyone help me in my music notation learning journey? Finding the good and free/cheap ressources are difficult. I'm starting by myself and will get some distance ressources in some time but I'd life to work on reading music alone

At first glance, some of today's album releases I'll be checking out today/this weekend include...

#PomPoko - Champion (art rock-ish, a bit proggy)

#RosieLowe - Lover, Other (alt r&b?)

#BenSollee - Long Haul (folk-ish? though I haven't checked him in a minute)

and eventually probably that #Tinashe album...

No full-length hip hop of interest to me this week?!?! Still working through the lists, so maybe one will jump out later. I'll put that new 38 Spesh on the backburner for when I'm in the right mood.

A quieter release day but these will keep me busy as I finish syllabus and resource prep to start classes next week.

Oh, and first faculty meeting of the semester today.

But the good thing about #RabbitHoles are they lead you to new places. I started listening to #LuzmilaCarpio as I reviewed her discography, and I kept listening even after I thought it might be a dead end.

Her recordings are often very simple, with just an acoustic guitar, some percussion, and some other harp/stringed instrument. She sings with a very distinctive voice and is often accompanied by several other singers.

It was while listening to a self-titled release this morning that the tune of "Mariposita" floated up to my ears --- is this it, I thought?

I listened closer --- yes! The tune is from Carpio, indeed, but under a different name, "Pilpintu," which you can hear here:

I poked around a few other search results for "Mariposita" on different platforms but had no luck.

So I went back to the credits to the Elhajli album on Bandcamp --- which are not present on the front page of the album, but songwriting credits are given on individual tracks.

That's when I noticed a name, #LuzmilaCarpio. Carpio is an artist whose work also catalogs and represents Quechuan traditions and language -- cool, so I'll look her up.

But as I looked through the tracklists for different albums I could find from Carpio, I didn't see the name "Mariposita" anywhere --- bummer, especially considering she's released a lot of albums.

So the search was still on...

Have been transfixed for the last week by a song played by Miriam Elhajli on her album *Brand New Mexican* -- the song is called "Mariposita." It is based around a very simple refrain, sung here with two vocal lines and two guitars.

Elhajli plays some traditional/folk tunes, many from Latin American lines, and I wondered if it was a cover or interpretation of another tune. So I went a-lookin'...

From the Busoni/Brahms on to the recent album from #TakacsQuartet, "Takacs Assad Labro," just released in March 2024.

All contemporary works, several of which were written for this recording/setting, from #ClariceAssad, #BryceDessner, and the #Bandoneon performer #JulienLabro. Labro performs on several of the pieces as well (yes, that's a string quartet and the bandoneon --- which works quite nicely!).

There is also an arrangement of a #MiltonNascimento song and a performance of #KaijaSaariaho's "Nocturne."

Honestly, this album was a delight to listen through. There is a real diversity of style and sound here, and all of it packs a real punch. But on first listen, I think it's the closing "Clash" by Assad that feels like the most mandatory listening.

Nice background on the album's origins and recording here: https://www.nativedsd.com/news/message-from-the-producer-bob-attiyeh-talks-about-takacs-quartet/
