Topic: Sidola
My first release in December.
Tonight I'm too lazy to look for a title, so I pick up the first three notes and that's fine...

Re: Sidola
Beautiful. Magnificent harmonies.
For some reason, this piece seems a little like an exquisite hybrid of Chopin and French popular music from the time of Edith Piaf, with a nod to Rameau or Couperin in certain flourishes and a bit of Bartok or modern jazz added at the end.
You're amazing, Gerard.

Re: Sidola
Yes, agree with Stephen_Doonan. I think you have a great talent for making this kind of music. Amazing again! This is how to do it!
About your clever title: in the 1970’s in my school we used ti (not si). Because a 5 was so and raised 5 was si, lowered so was se…..Probably different in different countries, interesting.

So what do you call the other notes ?
I found some interesting information in French :

or in English :

I can't find "Ti", is that Finnish ?

It was a compliment.
Your work doesn't sound derivative: it sounds instead like a synthesis of many different, various influences mixed with your own unique sensibility and compositional mastery.

Hello Gaston! Found this ”The solfège syllables used for movable do differ slightly from those used for fixed do, because the English variant of the basic syllables ("ti" instead of "si") is usually used, and chromatically altered syllables are usually included as well.” Look at Solfège - Wikipedia.
Couldn’t get the link to work.
In the Film ”Sound of music, the song ”Do re mi” with Julie Andrews they sing ti.
