Lumberjack Variations

from Cosmic Shark Party by kareshi

/

about

Presented as an encore is something completely different. Around 1998 I wrote a set of variations on Monty Python’s “The Lumberjack Song” with no real understanding of music theory, but which resulted in a coherent, cohesive whole that’s just perhaps short on interesting harmonic changes. I never wrote this down, but 16 years later I found it on a tape I had recorded back then. This recording is an unmodified transcription from that old tape. It begins with a pretentious A minor introduction from Paganini’s 5th violin caprice, followed by a theme and seven variations. There are some difficult passages that show healthy ambition in 16-year-old me.
