00:02Thank you. Our next hit tune started on the small screen in the TV series, Mission Impossible.
00:12And then it hit the big screen. But do you all remember the original theme by Lalo Schifrin?
00:19Now here's the deal. This piece is completely in 5-4 time.
00:26We'll explain that in just a second as soon as they're done in the kitchen.
00:33Most pieces are in an even number like 2-4, 4-4 or maybe 3-4 in waltz time.
00:39But 5-4 is a very unusual signature. How many people remember Dave Brubeck's album Time Out?
00:45Yeah. And take 5.
00:56I had the great pleasure of working with Dave Brubeck for a long time with the Stockton Symphony.
01:02We did many world premieres together. And he died at the age of almost 92 several years ago.
01:08But the Mission Impossible theme would not be possible if it weren't for the influence of Dave Brubeck.
01:17I mean, Dave Brubeck did not write Mission Impossible, but that same thing where you go
01:21with a little bump in the middle. Let me show you how it works.
01:27Since you asked, count with me.
01:31One, two, three, four, five, one. I don't hear you.
01:37In order to get a passing grade in this class, you must count with me.
01:41One, two, three, four, five, one, two, three, four, five, boom, bop, boom, bop, boom, bop, boom, bop, boom, bop,
01:50boom, bop, boom.
01:51Do you hear how my little bumps come in the middle of 2 and 3? Isn't that irritating?
01:57But that's how it works.
01:59Now, the original TV series was all in 5-4 time.
02:03There are some places in the Tom Cruise movies where they dumb the music down.
02:08And they do either 4-4 or 6-4, but we are playing the original real stuff.
02:54Now, the original TV series was all in 5-8 times.
02:55Maybe we 1984, but yeah, the original TV series was acabou the music up.
02:55They came to the main art.
02:55And there were a few places in the Nova Engine.
02:56Now, when Wong was a fan of operators to the mobile series to their best,
02:56While he plays in 5-4, and he approaches the first place to it.
