Vida Amorosa

About This Song

“Vida Amorosa” is an original song written by Stevan Pasero in 2018 and recorded in 2021. It is an upbeat, rhythmic composition in the key of E minor (Dorian mode) that incorporates the raised 7th scale tone (D#). The piece uses a tango sincopa beat variation, which highlights the upbeat accompaniment. The sincopa is the ​syncopation, as its name implies, accentuating the off-beat. The melody includes elements of chromaticism. The work modulates twice, to A major and E major, both utilizing the open bass note strings for displacement jumps on the fingerboard.
