A jazz standard is a widely known musical composition that serves as a basis for improvisation and is adapted into different interpretations and arrangements. Today I share with you a performance with my trumpet of a jazz standard titled "I Wish You Love" by Charles Trenet, a French ballad with an interesting mix of simplicity and emotional depth. The song is in the key of C Major, a bright and optimistic key, which contrasts with the melancholic lyrics. The melody has short and repetitive phrases that facilitate memorization. This piece of music has a moderate tempo (tempo di valse) that is associated with romanticism and nostalgia. The rhythm is ternary, with a 3/4 waltz that provides elegance and fluidity. Although this rhythm seems more like a bolero to me. This has an impressive emotionality, and stands out for its simplicity. The combination of a catchy melody, a major key and a waltz rhythm that creates a nostalgic yet hopeful atmosphere. Despite the sadness of farewell, the song conveys a universal message: the wish that the loved one finds love and happiness. This time I perform it with a mute, which makes the sound have a different color and reduces the volume.

Un estándar de jazz es una composición musical ampliamente conocida, que sirve de base para la improvisación y que se adaptan en distintas interpretaciones y arreglos. Hoy les comparto una interpretación con mi trompeta de un estándar del jazz titulado "I Wish You Love" de Charles Trenet, una balada francesa con una interesante mezcla de sencillez y profundidad emocional. La canción está en tonalidad de Do Mayor, una tonalidad luminosa y optimista, que contrasta con la letra melancólica. La melodía tiene frases cortas y repetitivas que facilitan la memorización. Esta pieza musical tiene un tempo moderado (tempo di valse) que se asocia con el romanticismo y la nostalgia. El ritmo es ternario, con un vals 3/4 que aporta elegancia y fluidez. Aunque este ritmo me parece más un bolero. Esta tiene una emotividad impresionante, y destaca por su simplicidad. La combinación de una melodía pegadiza, una tonalidad mayor y un ritmo de vals que crea una atmósfera nostálgica pero esperanzadora. Pese a la tristeza de la despedida, la canción transmite un mensaje universal: el deseo de que la persona amada encuentre el amor y la felicidad. En esta oportunidad la interpreto con una sordina, que hace que el sonido tenga un color diferente y reduce el volumen.
If we want to obtain different results, it is necessary to break the routine and try new approaches. That sometimes requires us to take a break, meditate, and make significant changes to the way we are doing things. One of the challenges I currently have when playing trumpet is that I can't hit high notes. The routine has worn me out, and that makes me take initiatives that help me improve in some aspects, such as sound quality, flexibility when playing different intervals and of course playing higher notes. Although the lower and intermediate registers are usually warm and soft, the trumpet stands out for its high and bright sounds. Starting next week I will do a series of exercises that will help me improve my performance. I hope you have a great weekend. God bless you.

Si queremos obtener resultados diferentes, es necesario romper con la rutina y probar nuevos enfoques. Eso a veces requiere que tomemos un descanso, meditemos y hagamos cambios significativos en la manera en que estamos haciendo las cosas. Uno de los desafíos que tengo actualmente al interpretar la trompeta es que no puedo llegar a notas agudas. La rutina me ha desgastado, y eso me hace tomar iniciativas que me ayuden a mejorar en algunos aspectos, como la calidad del sonido, la flexibilidad al tocar diferentes intervalos y por supuesto tocar notas más altas. Aunque los registros bajos, e intermedios suelen ser cálidos y suaves, la trompeta se destaca por los sonidos agudos y brillantes. A partir de la semana que viene haré una serié de ejercicios que me ayudarán a mejorar mi performance. Espero tengan un excelente fin de semana. Dios los bendiga.
I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love
And in July, a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health and more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So, with my best, my very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all, when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So, with my best, my very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all, when snowflakes fall
But most of all, when snowflakes fall
I wish you love, love, love
