Music Day Episode - Three Of Robert’s ‘Wordless Vocal’ Songs. Hybrid Songs With Melodies But Without Lyrics: “March Of The Diplomats", "Cousins" And "African Nights (For Chick)"!
Episode Notes
This Music Day Episode features three of Robert’s “Wordless Vocal” songs. These are hybrid songs with melodies but without lyrics. This style of song can sometimes capture the meaning and mood of a song better than if there were lyrics. See for yourself.
When listening to “March Of The Diplomats” close your eyes and imagine a group of Diplomats like from the United Nations walking in unison like penguins. It’s Robert’s musical image of today’s world diplomacy.
“Cousins” is a simple, playful, children’s song with a repeating melody that embellishes each time around. Robert wrote the song for his grandchildren. It’s one of his most streamed songs.
And “African Nights (For Chick)” is Robert’s homage to keyboard genius Chick Corea, one of his all-time favorite musicians, written with a touch of Return To Forever in mind.
