It has been a really long time since I have done any writing. I had no strong motivation until I purchased Composer. Part of the melody was floating around in my head for quite some time, but I could never do much with it on the accoustical grand, so when I got the keyboard and Composer, I just sat down and improvised around the motif and this is what came out. I did a little editing, but it needs a whole lot more ( I'm still navigating the help files ). I welcome any criticism and suggestions. I'm not easily offended, so it's OK to tell me to please stop! Thanks for any help. Fred Winterling \attach Patsy's Song.not | |||

Howdy Fred, Don't stop!  That's a beautiful piece! Lots of nice movement and "life" - you have a nice way of interweaving sparse passages with fuller ones, and changing the dynamic a bit to make it sachet. I see that your piece has lots of maj7 chords in it - I love these, as they are just a beautiful and soothing mode of music for me. And that's important today as I have a honking headache. Your piece was a really nice salve to my aching brain I'm looking forward to hearing more compositions ttfn, Sherry | |||

Wow! Thanks Sherry! Coming from you that is a really nice compliment. I like Maj 7th chords, too but as you can tell, I really like diminished and half diminished chords. It's a little heavy with them, but I can't help myself. Thanks again! Fred W |
