Melody #9

Amazingly tonights melody really just rolled out of my head, almost like it was meant to be a melody (which it now is).  Even though this piece felt like it was meant to be, the image that I received from the piece was quite different.  Instead of seeing a scene or image, I continue to hear the symphony backing this melody.  Almost as though piano is meant to solo this melody.

On a different note, one thing I am beginning to understand during this project is that if you do not see an image and are use to seeing one, do not force the image.  This piece is a prime example on why a composer should not force something they are use to seeing, if it is not being shown to them.  Instead, sit back and listen to the piece a few times.  Eventually the image will produce, whether it be audio or visual.  Tonights image came in the form of a completed symphony for me.

I hope you enjoy this melody and please feel free to comment and critique this or any of the other melodies.

Thank you,
