It’s been a busy few days as I have finished about 7 minutes of the piece! I never really reached a good stopping point at a good point in the night. Usually I end up at about 12:00 and to me, there’s another 4-5 hours of composing time! But tonight I reached the end of the C section and I just so happen to be exhausted, so why not call it a night after a quick blog!
As you will see in the score, I have completed three major sections: the A section is the slow build and growth; the B section is when the piece begins the motion and oscillation; the C section is the “slower” section that doesn’t really slow down as it still has motion underneath; It’s just more in a halftime and the rhythms underneath have changed to longer subdivisions. Again, if you’ve read the story you’ll have a pretty good idea of what these sections represent.
I won’t be posting a midi until I have finished the piece. I want to make sure I am happy with the work before I “unleash it unto this world.” True, it’s rarely every going to be truly ready, but I suppose I can put it off as long as possible.
But you have the scores to look at… and ear training is supposed to train you to hear what you see!!!
