War Hoarse Composition

We have been creating dramatic or romantic compositions. We started by looking at the theme song on a famous movie called Hachiko. The song was called Goodbye. It was slow and calm and only included piano and violin, it was minor to give it the dramatic feel. Matilda and I chose to do a scene to war hoarse

Our chords were
D minor 
A minor
G minor
C major


The melody was 
D, E, F
D, E, D
F, G, A
F, G, F

The beginning was only the chords (each for 4 counts) then I played the chords broken up which is called an arpeggio and Matilda began to play the melody. 
Then to build up the piece i stopped playing arpeggio and began to play the chords and the melody changed into 

D, E, F, E
D, E, D, E
F, G, A, G
F, G, F, G

We chose these chords because we thought that it suited the movie very well and really gave the mood of it. To end the piece i held the C major chord and have it fade away. For improvements we could have made our composition longer by adding more chords or melodies and for the video we need to make it better as you get the background noise.
