Cut warning
As promised, I update. I originally planned the music I wrote for 102 and put in on here as well as this link to demonstrate how I stole the intro to Beulah's "If We Can Land a Man on the Moon, Surely I Can Win Your Heart" and used it as the intro my 8-bar melody. I couldn't help it, I just could not get it out of my head. However, my primo scanner didn't pick up any of the notes, even after I darkened them and tried to scan it a zillion different ways. Then I tried to to do it in paint and Word, both attempts of which were failures.
In any case, the assignment was to write an 8-measure melody in a major key, in 4/4. The opening measure had to reference the tonic chord, and the end of the first phrase had to reference the second degree of whatever key the piece was in, as well as break the cadence and lead into the second phrase. The end of the piece had to end on the first degree with a longer-value note. Check, check, and check.
P.S. Go here to listen to/download more Beulah. It's totally legal. I really like and highly recommend them.
Per request - I cannot wait to go get sushi when I get home from Ichiban. Anybody want to go on a Dutch date with me?
Also per request - A few weeks ago, after our orchestra concert, Guinevere took me home since she found me outside Cleveland hall after being denied a ride by Lander (fucker). She invited me to her room to put her cello down, etc. That's where I noticed her Naked Barbie Orchestra. It was exactly that - no more, no less. She still needs a trumpeteer and a conductor, I think. I found it oddly fitting, since I was still in my suit, with the slightest aftertaste of Foster's hanging out (that's right, they gave us beer.), that I would stumble upon yet another orchestra.
