Menuetto 334

Menuetto 334

Nov 01, 2020

Ok, this was a lot of fun for me, plus an exciting challenge. I have to thank my son for the catalyst and motivation for this track.

Basically, we had to pop to the gardening shop which is not so exciting for kids and he decided to wait for us in the car. Thanks to the poor internet connection he started to play around with some translator apps. So, here we are: some profound lyrics, randomly created by my son:

Poopaliiioook!!!

Bumbumbumbmbumbubm Bumbumbumbmbumbubm
Bumbumbumbmbumbubm Bumbumbumbmbumbubm 
Bumbumbumbmbumbubm ….

The ‘words’ had a nice sway to them, as if a ‘droid was trying to hum along to some kind of tune… This got me going!

I noticed that those robot rumblings had a rhythm that would fit a time signature of 3/4 and a pitch that would make you audiate in D major. The most popular baroque and classical type of music created in this meter would certainly be the Minuet, Menuett or Menuetto. And, one of the best known minuets in D maj would be Mozart’s 2nd Menuetto from the Divertimento in D major, K.V.344. So I used this minuet for the classical element of this track.
