Hello everyone!

Today we have a piano solo to share with you! It is a Polonaise (specifically Polonaise in B flat Major) by Bach. 

I love this song, as it hearkens back to my Polish heritage. A polonaise is a Polish dance in 3\4 time (3 beats per measure). It is similar to a Waltz or Polka.  The name "Polonaise" is French for "Polish".  Polonaise was a common dance at carnivals in 15th century Poland, and is always the first dance at a "studniówka", which is basically the Polish version of a high school prom. 

Originally, I didn't love this piece, but the more I played it, the more I loved it! I played it for a piano SAT test in March 2016, and received a score of 22 out of 24 points. I love this piece, and still play it from time to time! Definitely one of my favorites!

Thanks so much for listening! Please leave a comment and let me know what you thought of this piece! God bless!

Blessings,

Hello everyone!

Welcome to August! Here is what we have going on this month.

TREASURE SEEKERS:
The bad news is, the actor we had planned to act a minor character was unable to do it. We are still working on getting this characters lines recorded. The good news is we are finished (except for slotting the aforementioned character’s lines in) with the voice track editing. We are getting closer to the finish line by the day! I am so excited to work on the sound design\Foley. We hope to make a big dent in getting this project finished these next two months.

MUSIC:
This month we plan to do more music. We have been so busy with Treasure Seekers this past month, we haven’t been able to work on anything else. We are excited to jump back into music. We will have a piano solo or two, plus Victoria has a song very dear to her heart she can’t wait to work on.

OUR FAVORITE THINGS | A CHATCAST:
July’s episode was a ton of fun! We chatted about a series of books we love, and we also got to interview the author! It was a blast to be able to “meet” the author and get to chat with her. You can check out that episode here if you haven’t heard it yet.  For August’s episode, we plan to talk about audio dramas!
Also, Our Favorite Things is now on Stitcher! You can listen and subscribe there!
 
That’s pretty much it for this month! Thanks so much for your support of Ichthus Family Productions!
