Hey guys,
I'm fourteen years old and just starting out composing, and I was having some trouble deciding which way would be better to compose this piece( I wasn't sure which style it would qualify as,so I put it here). I have two versions of the song; one is a version where in the introduction to the melody at both places in the song, I use 3/4 bars, which takes moretime and is a little easier to follow, while in the other version, I use 5/4 bars. This version I think sounds a little rushed and is a little bit of a suprise when you first hear it, but I think it is more interesting than the other version melody-wise. I have both versions in this post, if you think one is better than the other or have an idea as to how to introduce the 5/4 bars in the beginning without so much of a knock on the head I would be very thankfull.
John
