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.
Hi Deniz,
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic reflection, much improved on the last one. It gives us nice details about the choices you made and your thoughts on the piece. From what you played in class it was a very nice composition. Unfortunately your youtube file is not playing so I can't listen to it here but from what I remember the one thing I would ask you to improve would be the 'smoothness' of the piece. Try using a little sustain pedal, or make sure that you and Mathilda practice over and over to get you moving absolutely together. Sometimes this gets bring but ti's the best way to get it sounding perfect!
