Oh wow, didn’t know until I saw this post.
My favorite Lalo LPs in order:
Love the movie, love the soundtrack!
Great recording IMO!
Goofy disco, but when you are in the mood…
RIP. 93 is a good life.
A few more come to mind:
Mannix (TV series)
Enter the Dragon - Bruce Lee Film
The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (TV Series)
and of course…
Mission Impossible (TV Series) This I played in concert band, drummer here, and it took years to get it out of my head (must have been that 6/8 beat). We thought we were so cool playing it in concert wearing fake Ray-Ban sunglasses on stage, Ha!
The ear worm has now taken up residence once again. It fun i the mid-60s and continues to be.
6/8?
Mission Impossible is in 5/4. (Each measure being two dotted quarters, followed by two quarters).
You are correct, but our JHS concert band played it in 6/8. Transcribed for beginning players. Something I won’t forget.
Is 6/8 inherently easier than 5/4? I didn’t think so.
I learned more about him, RIP and thanks for the great music!
I do not know how one would write this in 6/8.
Didn’t say it was, but that was the sheet music we were provided with by our Concert Band Director Mr. Edgar Holmgren, Carl Sandberg JHS, Elmhurst, Il.
But there it is. Why he did it only he knows, as we were just young and naive music students. I remember it clearly, as when the drum section was learning it he pounded the beat into our tiny minds.
Now you know. Learned something?
I am sorry, I do not understand your post. There is nothing in this thread demonstrating how 5/4 can be transcribed as 6/8.
That is, I have learned nothing.
I can only relate my experience some 60 years ago. I just learned something at the moment.
My guess is he changed the rhythm to something different. That is, no longer in 5/4 as originally written but something else.
He did, and why only he would know. Odd to be sure.
