Gabriel's Oboe - Ennio Morricone (Cover) by @yisusth [ENG/SPA]
One of the most iconic and moving pieces of music by Italian composer Ennio Morricone is "Gabriel's Oboe." This musical piece is based on an oboe solo, accompanied by a string orchestra. I love the sweet, melancholic tone of the oboe. The melody is simple, repetitive, and expressive. It is based on a modal scale, which gives it an archaic and spiritual character. The melody rises and falls in short phrases, creating a feeling of longing and nostalgia. Harmony is mainly based on tonic and dominant chords and creates an atmosphere of peace and serenity. The pace is slow and fluid. There is no fixed meter, allowing the music to flow freely and express the emotions of the moment. The challenge of interpreting a slow song with some speed dynamics is to gradually adapt to the timing of harmony and rhythm. The song was composed for the film "The Mission" (1986) and is an instrumental piece of music, so it has no lyrics. However, I share with you a lyric from a singer-songwriter who used the melody.

Una de las piezas musicales más icónicas y conmovedoras del compositor italiano Ennio Morricone es «Gabriel's Oboe». Esta pieza musical se basa en un solo de oboe, acompañado por una orquesta de cuerdas. Me encanta el timbre dulce y melancólico del oboe. La melodía es sencilla, repetitiva, y expresiva. Se basa en una escala modal, lo que le da un carácter arcaico y espiritual. La melodía asciende y desciende en frases cortas, creando una sensación de anhelo y nostalgia. La armonía se basa principalmente en acordes tónicos y dominantes y genera un ambiente de paz y serenidad. El ritmo es lento y fluido. No hay una métrica fija, lo que permite que la música fluya libremente y exprese las emociones del momento. El reto de interpretar un tema lento con algunas dinámicas de velocidad es ir a adaptarse gradualmente al tiempo de la armonía y el ritmo. La canción fue compuesta para la película "La Misión" (1986) y es una pieza musical instrumental, por lo que no tiene letra. Sin embargo, les comparto una letra de una cantautora que uso la melodía.
When you start a musical career, you have to manage things like recording music, organizing and planning concerts, both promotion and marketing. As your career progresses, it is necessary to delegate some aspects, one of them is managing your career. Finding a good music manager is essential to the success of a musical artist. A good manager can help the artist reach their full potential and build a successful career in the music industry. This professional must have deep knowledge of the industry, organization, communication, negotiation, and marketing skills. One of the challenges is finding someone who is upright and honest, with whom you can work as a team, trust that they will make the best decisions for the success of your career, and work under pressure. It is important to consider these aspects, in the end you are trusting your career in someone. I have read and met artists who have been victims of scams, abuse and who have contributed to failure. This decision must be studied, based on experience, contacts, and reputation.

Esta decisión debe ser estudiada, basada en la experiencia, los contactos, y la reputación.
Gabriel's Oboe
Whispers in a dream
The world is quiet and waiting
And all around the air is still
And sings the angels
When all is come to pass
The storm has breathed it's last
And the rain
Has washed our fears away
Love will find
Whispers in the wind
The clouds part to let the light in
And all around the people sigh
As birds take to the sky
When all is come to pass
The storm has breathed it's last
And the rain
Has washed our fears away
Love will find
A new song
The world will smile again
Whispers in a dream
The world is quiet and waiting
And all around the air is still
Then sings the angels
When all is come to pass
The storm has breathed it's last
And the rain
Has washed our fears away
Love will find
A new song
And we can smile again
