I have been told that composers carry around a "bag of tricks" when it comes to their compositions. I have never really understood that term until this project. In my opinion, this "bag of tricks" implies a composers use of previous measures to help them get past either a rough spot, writers block, or to change up the piece that they are working on. A composer develops these technique through the knowledge of music theory and practice.
For those of you following this blog that are musicians, composers, both, or interested in starting to learn music, please take music theory seriously. I know from experience that it can be the most boring subject, but in the long run whether you are a composer or performer it will save you.
Tomorrow nights melody may come a little late like tonights because I have family from Iowa staying this weekend.
I hope you enjoy tonights melody.
