Decisions, Decisions (but ooh, a new tune)
Last night, thanks to Clue suggested by syntonic_comma, I was able to work out the rhythm notation problem that was keeping me from writing down the tune I'd come up with over the weekend. (And as I predicted when I first complained about being stumped, it turns out to look easy and obvious once it's finally written down.) Since anniemal suggested that it might fit somehow with another tune I've been working on, 'Samhain', I made MIDIs of both of those plus 'Samhain Eve', to listen to all three together in various orders. I think that if I make the new tune part of a set with the other two, it's going to have to go first (hmm ... unless I do something interesting to the end of 'Samhain' ...). So I'm trying to choose a title that has something to do with the changing of the year and implies a bit of nostalgia. A couple of the titles I've thought of already seem too pretentious for what this tune is; others seem a bit bland. I dunno. The title shouldn't be as much work as composing the tune, but I do want to have a title I like before I put it in front of a lot of people. I'm considering 'Tomorrow and Yesterday' as one of the possibilities.
In the meantime, since my paid LJ account hasn't expired yet, I figured I'd toss in a poll for musicians...
Poll Triplet Notation
FWIW, the 12/8 version is easier to type in.
