Le retour des hirondelles - French Waltz | Katy Adelson
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 чер 2021
- Here is a fun French waltz called, "Le retour des hirondelles," or, "Return of the Swallows" in English. I believe it was composed by Beniamino Pagano and Robert Trognée. I have often heard it played in the key of C, but I moved it to D to make it easier to play on the violin (more open strings!). It's definitely not a very straight-forward tune to play on a violin since it has a lot of accidentals, but I tried to make it work.
I've been pretty hooked to this piece ever since I heard it a few years ago -- there is something about songs with a lot of chromatic accidentals that I really love for some reason. It's almost like they can toss the concept of a key signature out the window with all the accidentals, yet still sound like the right key. It's great! I want to learn how to write songs like that!
I mostly wanted to attempt to make a video of this song because I saw a TON of swallows flying around one day, as well as little baby swallows -- SO CUTE!!!
I finished my Covid vaccine doses. I'm not going to lie -- the second dose was pretty rough... :/ But it's done!! I got to visit my friends and family for the first time in a long long time. It was so nice, yet also felt kind of strange to be near other humans without a mask. It was great to see everyone in "real life" instead of zoom calls. After lots of isolation, I'm more socially awkward than ever before -- yay....gotta work on that...again...
Thank you for watching and listening! =) Happy Spring!!
~ Katy

Love the outtake at the end as well ...Awwww lol
Very nice and happy music!
Ps: (I'm French and it made me happy to see a French title)
i liked this music very much! The background of springtime was awesome - especially the baby bluebirds!
Thank you! 🙂🎻🎶🎵
Really beautiful! Reminds me, sadly, of how fleeting is youth. One moment in full bloom and the next withered and gone. Thank you for that beautiful moment.
Bravo Katy!
Your ability to remember (& play!) complicated music never ceases to astound me.
What a wonderful and fun waltz to bring in spring, or early summer (depending on where you live!). Super work on the backing tracks, and great videography and editing!
Nice summer feel
I loved it Katy. That was wonderful. Have you done a complications of the outtakes? That would be funny.
I'm always amazed at how well your editing the scenes and nature photography is. This had to take some planning and a great deal of time to put it all together. Nice job.
Simply beautiful just like the performer and scenery, thank you Katy and so spot on for the start of a new season. You will get it all back again darling and so glad you are all vaccinated now as still waiting for mine here in New Zealand, looking at end of June early July.
Had my first vaccine last week second in about three weeks Katy and hey thanks darling.
Merci Katy.
Delightful! Thanks Katy ❤
Thanks.very beautiful
As always a joy!
Un bonjour de la France !! Superbe interprétation ! Continuez vos vidéos ! Nicolas
Et un deuxième bonjour de France !
Lovely
Super cool!
Haha I'm french and I directly recognized it 😅
I am learning violon since 4 years but I hardly know how to do fiddle only some Irish and Hebrew songs. My next goal is to be able to play fiddle faster 😅 Thank's for everything you play really good 😉
What a delightful waltz and scenery with the swallows! Good to see you again playing happily... :)
on est là ! #TeamFR
Your music , serenity, humbleness, connection with nature and that broad eyed smile always wins hearts :-). Thanks for sharing such wonderful pieces.
I just started taking classes on the violin at school this year. I love Irish music. Especially done by the fiddle!
The violin is such a versatile instrument - here, you make it sound like an accordion!
Bravo! That was amazing!
Thank you!! 🎶🎵🎻
Love it!! Your outfit is perfect for the song.
You're dressed very similar to Mary Poppins!! Loved this whole heartily, Katy! ❤ want to go practice now lol. Maybe I'll try playing Hobgoblins Waltz again since I still struggle learning it haha
Katy, a fine performance and a wonderful video/edit (as always)
you are amazing Katy, i just love you and your music, it touches me deeply. :D keep doing what mobes you and you will move a mountain. kisses
Wow, I can just see couples gliding around on a dance floor. 🙂 I'm sure that was difficult to learn and play! You did excellent!
Awesome tune! I love a good waltz!
One of my favorites - and well done!😃
Wonderful as always!
Amazing !! ❤️❤️❤️
Continue being so sweet, cool, and love hearing and watching you play.
very beautiful
Wonderful music and scenery. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🎻👍❤️🍀
Keep them coming, would love to see more :)
Great tune and video ❤
This is really lovely and unique!!!
Wonderful music. Sounds to me like strains of tunes from all over but French. I think you give out love as you play. There’s nothing awkward about that. I’m sure friends and family feel the love from you too.
❤
Masterful playing
Masterful presentation
Masterful conveyance of happiness and beauty
All with a lovely smile
Keep it up Katy - you enrich a lot of people's lives.
Good idea. A compilation of outtakes! Something like that will take a long time to put together. It will mean lots of hour's work.
( Already seeing forward to that. I am sure we would be accommodated on that thought. 😁 )
I had started something like that once, but accidentally corrupted the video editing file when one of my hard drives disconnected from my computer in the middle of an import. Oops… I’ll try again. 🙂
@@KatyAdelson Thank you for the feedback. Much appreciated. Nice to hear that you were compiling something like that. Computers seems to know exactly at what stage to sabotage critical work. Just to show us how important they are, I guess. 😏 Best wishes with the next attempt. Save it under the heading: Not Important. (To fool you know who 😉)
Браво!
This is so lovely!!!
You did a awesome job!!!
好き
Nice
This was very nice my friend. Thank you for sharing. Have a good one. Cheers …
Well Done!
Great video
Great music. And you look fantastic, as always.
Perfection! A trillion likes!
Katy, you are very beautiful, your smile is charming, all the videos are just a miracle, I always listen to your performances with a sense of emotion and pleasure. Your explanations of how the videos were created helped me learn English. With respect to your work and best wishes from Russia.
Bravo Maestra Katy
Very lively and cheerful
Let's try that in French Bien Fait! for Well Done!💖
Amazing thank you Princess, rn working on Tamlin, Beatrice, and dancing bear. Thank for all the help
Hi, I can't write very well in English. I ´m sorry. Sos muy linda y tu trabajo es maravilloso. Me gustan todos tus videos. Hacés todos tus videos vos misma, sos una genia!!!
Very nice
Great video katy. Social skills are definitely something everyone is gonna need to work on after this last year - you wont be alone but it's good that there is an end to the lockdowns near.
I’m looking forward to the future! I was pretty socially awkward before all of this, so things will be interesting...
Very beautiful ! браво! радуешь, впрочем как и всегда =)🎻👍
sooo cute :o
Please teach me!!! 💝🙏🏻💝
This is so beauty!!
🎶👍
I love your Ghost ship video. I have question, What kind video editor app do you use?
I was just thinking it that was coming around that time for another Katy Adelson video and low and behold here we are. Excellent work. From one socially awkward person to another….most of the skills you learned in the past will quickly come back to you just like playing a tune on your violin that you haven’t played in a long time. At first it seems frustrating and difficult and then it all comes rushing back only better.
hi there. due to the virus i can not visit scotland. i feel the uk uses the coronavirus to repell the eastern europeans. at all.
i had chill summers in scotland. the bagpipers noisy were imposing their major and mixoliydian modes.
i sumetimes heard myself on the violin. playin the shit. i mean the simple tunes they play.
i play italian baroque. improvise. edinburgh royal mile. from 9 to 12 late evening. drizzle, light rain.
i am there for. i play on 3/4 violin. small hand. i recently played on full 4/4 violin.
still. G, D, A open strings are favored by great composers like viotti, kreutzer, rode.
music that inspired paganini when he was young ! !! !!! !!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
Hi Katy your video is nice and the melody too. I will search the sheet music.
The sky looks cloudy, isn't it summer in your country?
Thank you! Yeah, it’s summer now - it became super hot super quickly. I’ve been melting from all the 100 degree (Fahrenheit) heat we’ve had these past few days… I feel like I need to run away into the mountains until things cool off…
@@KatyAdelson Ok Katy summer is nice but not so hot anyway . Please give us more of your videos they are very beautiful and they brighten our day :) . Greetings.Be fine
Hey ppz share me link for that voilin i wana buy that
