Matt
Turner's impressive list
of award-winning
compositions will just
keep growing as he adds
pieces like this to his
repertoire! Zydeco Zephyr
starts out with some
boogie-woogie and then
moves to a fiddling style
in the second half. Not
only can you hear the
train within the music,
but this work also
includes an opportunity
for a soloist to
improvise. An example
solo is provided, but
this is a great way to
get your kids to express
themselves
musically.
Zydeco
Zephyr combines elements
of zydeco and bluegrass.
Zydeco is a combination
of many styles including
Cajun, blues, and rock,
and is known for its use
of accordion, fiddle, and
washboard. The first
section of Zydeco Zephyr
is influenced by doo-wop,
a style zydeco musician
Clifton Chenier used in
his songs. The cellos
introduce the second
section with a
“train” groove in m.
27. A solo section offers
students the opportunity
to improvise using a D
mixolydian mode (D, E,
F≥, G, A, B, C, D), and
a sample solo is
provided. This piece uses
straighteighths (no
swing!) and should be
performed with a great
deal of energy. Who
knows, you may just make
people in the audience
get up and
dance!Suggested
listening: Clifton
Chenier, King of the
Bayous on Arhoolie
Records.
