Week Eleven - Almost There!5/12/2024 This week was a good one, and I got some good work done. I started on the end of the piece, and it’s gonna take some time. I know the general idea of what I want to do, and I started on the transition into it this week. As I said before, I’m going to make a key change, and that was the main thing I was working on building up to this week. I reinstated a similar chord progression from the beginning of the piece, however, it changed this time around. Instead of taking a more downward path in general, it goes upward into the new key. I like what I have, I just need to refine it some and finish out the piece. The last part should be pretty easy, as I just have to re-write the same melody as before, but now it’s in a different key. It will sound the same, but it will have a “brighter” sound to it because of the change. Music can sound “bright” or “dark” depending on what the principal voice (instrument(s)), volume, or key of the music is. Generally, music is looking for a generally dark sound within the key, but some keys simply sound brighter than others. It usually works out that when you add a sharp (#) to the key, it becomes brighter, and when you add a flat (♭) to the key, it becomes darker. I think I’m going to add a sharp to the key, which will make it sound generally brighter than before, but it’s okay because that’s what I’m going for. Getting this done will take some grit though because I have two concerts to perform at this week. I think I can get it done, but I will just have to actually do it (something I’ve said many, many times before throughout this project). If this project has taught me anything, it’s that I can have a hard time working on something when I know I have a lot of time to do it. I got twelve weeks for this project, and it’s kind of coming down to the wire.
