Emma+J+Sacred+Composition

27/4/15

I have chosen to do a compostion with three parts. A flute, piano and vocal parts. It will be a pop christian song, my inspiration comes from a christian poem. I think I will struggle to put my ideas into music notes and do it properly. I also struggle using sibilous so that will be another problem I will encounter. a characteristic of pop music is having catchy melody. my chords that i will use to make the classic pop 'catchy' feeling will be; E B C# A

** JesUs Loves U!!! **
i like how it sounds without lyrics. my song is now a story. the song tells a story by the rhythms and intensity changing form soft and happy to intense and scary, it resolves but there is also some sadness still left in the piano part. Living a life u think is good without God. Running into trouble, Being scared and all alone not knowing what to do Crying out for help to someone, God maybe? Going to church or reading a bible and realizing there is hope but you think your too late for God.
 * ok so today i finished my song on sibelius and have decided to scrap lyrics and having vocals. I have made a piano and flute duet. **

I used this youtube video to learn how to play the chords on the piano so i can hear what it sounds like when I'm trying to put he lyrics into the songs and also the flute part. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDVDArF5EU4

its going to be slow probably in 4/4 time. i need to be careful not to have the flute playing really low notes and the vocals otherwise they will sound pitchy.

My sacred song is a powerful song that is powerful but also quite enough to be subtle and peaceful. The flute part in the song carries the melody and theme throughout. The piano echo's the flute at some parts to create the affect that the instruments are completely together. My inspiration for this song was catholic sacred music because it is a bit slower and dark, I believe my song reflects this style well.
