A warm greeting to the Music community. I am pleased to share my trumpet performance of "I'll Be Seeing You," a jazz ballad composed by Sammy Fain and Irving Kahal in 1938 for the musical "Right This Way." Imagine what it meant to the soldiers and families fighting in World War II as a result of being separated. The lyrics speak of remembering someone in familiar places. This song is a traditional pop standard with romantic, chromatic cadences, in the style of Tin Pan Alley. The melody is beautiful, smooth, and expressive, with discreet intervallic leaps. The rhythm is moderate in 4/4 time, with gentle syncopations and expressive rubato. My favorite covers are those by Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra. I believe that many songs have a significant impact depending on their era and context. This piece was a balm of hope for its time.

Un caluroso saludo a la comunidad de Music. Tengo el agrado de compartir mi interpretación con la trompeta de «I'll Be Seeing You, una balada jazzística compuesta por Sammy Fain e Irving Kahal en 1938, para el musical "Right This Way". Imagínense lo que significaba para los soldados y las familias que lucharon en la Segunda Guerra Mundial producto de su separación. La letra habla de recordar a alguien en lugares familiares. Esta canción es un estándar pop tradicional con cadencias románticas y cromáticas, con el estilo de Tin Pan Alley. La melodía es hermosa, suave y expresiva, con saltos interválicos discretos. El ritmo es moderado en un compás de 4/4, síncopas suaves y un rubato expresivo. Mis versiones favoritas son las de Billie Holiday y Frank Sinatra. Creo que muchas canciones tienen un impacto significativo dependiendo de su época y contexto. Esta pieza fue un bálsamo de esperanza para su tiempo.

When we let ourselves be carried away by our emotions, we can create false expectations. In addition to following our intuition and the feelings of our hearts, it's also necessary to weigh things with reasoning based on facts and experience. It often happens that people lean toward worthy causes and end up disappointed. I've noticed how many times people blindly believe in someone and then end up disillusioned and with a crisis of faith because they didn't achieve what they expected. Believing in hunches, signs, or unfounded promises can be the wrong path. The other aspect is believing without acting. We can't be passive, waiting for others to solve our problems. Faith is accurate, intelligent, and accompanied by action. I can pray for a job, trusting that God will provide the best, and in the meantime, I prepare my resume, make a contact list, and get up very early to look for it. I hope you enjoy my interpretation. Blessings.

Cuando nos dejamos llevar por nuestras emociones, podemos crear falsas expectativas. Además de seguir nuestra intuición y los sentimientos de nuestro corazón, también es necesario sopesar las cosas con el razonamiento basado en los hechos y en la experiencia. Pasan muy seguidos que las personas se inclinan por causas nobles y al final terminan decepcionados. He notado como muchas veces que las personas creen ciegamente en alguien y luego terminan desilusionados y con una crisis de fe porque no lograron lo que esperaban. Creer en corazonadas, señales o promesas sin fundamento puede ser un camino erróneo. El otro aspecto es creer sin actuar. No se puede andar con pasividad esperando que otros solucionen nuestros problemas. La fe es certera, inteligente y va acompañada por acciones. Puedo orar por un trabajo, confío en que Dios proveerá lo mejor, y mientras tanto, preparo mi currículum, hago una lista de contactos, y me levanto muy temprano para buscarlo. Espero que disfruten de mi interpretación. Bendiciones.

I'll Be Seeing You

Cathedral bells were tolling
And our hearts sang on
Was it the spell of Paris
Or the April dawn?
Who knows if we shall meet again?
But when the morning chimes ring sweet again

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through

In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children's carousel
The chestnut trees, the wishing well

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you

That way I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

I confess that I am not steeped in knowledge about Jazz, but for some reason the times I have listened to it I have liked it for its elegance and at the same time romanticism. Greetings!
