Melody #11

Tonight I bring you Melody #11.  This piece has inspired tonights post to talk a little about emotions with music.  Melody #11, in my mind is comforting and optimistic, unlike a few of my other melodies that are minor and sound like they have no hope for the future.  One might say that a piece that is optimistic is more creatively inspiring than a minor piece.  I, however, feel that inspiration comes during any emotion whether it is happy or sad.  Creativity and inspiration are just amazing things that come at the best or most inconvenient time, but are welcome no matter the circumstance.

We have 3 melodies left and then it will be time for the symphony composition.  Originally I had stated that I would choose the top rated melodies to compose the symphony with.  I have now changed this to a random drawing of 5 melodies.  I am going to have a friend put paper with numbers 1-14 in a hat and draw 5.  I will then take those 5 melodies and compose an approximately 10-15 minute symphony that is based entirely around those melodies.

If you have any suggestions on certain instruments that should be in this symphony, please feel free to comment that instrument on this post.

I hope you enjoy tonights melody and I hope that you have enjoyed this project so far.
