Arrangement of the Song Για Ότι Χορεύει στους Δρόμους

At your risk.

For lyrics, melody, chords. please see previous posts.

A possible arrangement may be just the singer's voice. Beautiful lyrics and melody should stand well on their own. A voice perfectly recorded preferably outdoors with all little details, breath etc. Perhaps adding gradually reverberation as time increases.

Another arrangement could be as follows by inspiration from the lyrics:

Intro:

City traffic, city sounds recorded in binaural (in ear microphones)  (3D)

Sax solo for intro with melody:

E - -

- - -

- - -

E F E

E - -

- - -

- - -

- G G

G - F

- - E

- - D

- - C

E - -

- - -

D - -

Verse:

male singer on left channel

then female singer on right channel

then both possibly near center

Chorus:

Both singers

An egg with sand used as percussion for rhythm 

Verse:

Solo Sax, no vocals

Sustaining E major chord while boy, girl converse in a funny way, recorded in Blumlein  microphone pair (stereophonic):

Boy: Για ότι χορεύει στους δρόμους

Girl:  Τι χορεύει στους δρόμους?

Boy: Για ότι χορεύει στους δρόμους

Girl: Τι χορεύει στους δρόμους?

Boy: Για ότι χορεύει στους δρόμους

Girl: Τι χορεύει στους δρόμους?

Chorus:

Both singers, few children choir

more and gradually more children singing in choir

parametrically filtered white noise possibly by mouth in order to create a space distant star effect

perhaps singers also singing some verse lyrics on endings of children's singing words

everything leading to a A major 9th chord as outro
