"I'm a Barbie girl" again, but in the style of 6 classical composers ๐น ๐ค - Josep Castanyer Alonso
๐น Sheet music transcription: https://payhip.com/b/oaYNA
On the day of the โBarbieโ film premiere and almost exactly one year after my Barbie Girl Fugue (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsE7H6YPfco), nothing less could be expected than a follow-up!
In the same educational spirit as in the previous videos, this video serves as a parodic and slightly critical take on one of the most well-known tunes from the 2000s โeven incorporating its somewhat questionable lyrics.
The six variations featured in the video illustrate the style of some of my favorite composers. The primary inspiration for this project came from Dudley Moore's timeless parody of a Beethoven piano sonata (https://youtu.be/GazlqD4mLvw). Additionally, the visual design of the video draws some influence from a respected colleague, Nahre Sol, whose creative work I have admired since my teenage years. I highly recommend visiting her channel (https://youtube.com/@NahreSol) for great visualisations of classical music.
