Style Composition

In music, we are making our own pieces. We each chose a style and we are all composing a piece for our style. I chose classical Chinese music. I chose classical Chinese because I really like the way it sounds. I think it sounds really smooth and I really like the instruments that they use. I also take Mandarin for my world language, so I think Chinese music is a very important part of Chinese culture, and I’m going to China next year. I noticed while composing my piece that Chinese music runs very smoothly, and the notes are never more than a skip apart. I also noticed that in Chinese music, they use a lot of violin. One other thing that I noticed about Chinese music is that there is a pentatonic scale, so you can’t use E or F. It is cool to compose a Chinese piece because I haven’t really composed a piece that is not jazz. All of the other pieces that I have written have not been a particular style, so I think it’s cool to listen to my piece and ask myself, “Does this sound like it would fit with Chinese music.”

Here is my piece and my blendspace:

My Music Composition

In music this quarter, we made compositions. There were certain requirements that our pieces needed to have. They needed to have a chord progression and they needed to have someone else playing in it. I got Dora to play the piano in my piece. Overall, I think my piece came out very well.

My First Composition

This is the first piece of music I ever made. It was a little bit hard to make all of my notes not be clashes, but I finally did it. Hope you like it.
