Under a Morning Sky
Etienne de Lavaulx - Zither and Guitar
0 Followed
This a piece I composed a long time ago (around 40 years ago). It was written specifically for the 5 chord zither using my own tuning. It is in the key of F major. I tune the chords as follows: from right to left: C maj, A min, F maj, D min, G maj (or min) For this piece, I use G min. My melody notes are all natural notes from low A to high E (2 1/2 octaves) plus B flats. I use diamonds and dots to know which notes I am playing (like black and white keys on a keyboard). Diamonds are Cs and Gs and the dots are Bflats. There are 3 rows of markers for different tones: dolce (sweet), medium and ponti (metallic). You can see me changing from one to the other frequently. My left hand can be seen damping chords either with the middle finger swiping forward over the previous chord or backward with the thumb. This is to avoid chords merging with each other.
