Zariel Cruz Holiday Cheer.

I gave my piece the name Holiday Cheer because… I felt like it was close to the holidays and I said why not! So i gave it the name “Holiday cheer”. I began my piece totally different then it is now. At first my piece was all these weird notes just everywhere with no rhythm or smooth melodic sound. Then as the lessons started getting a little bit more complex my piece started sounding much better. Then I had to problem of adding different instruments, I wanted something that sounded nice and something that has a good harmony.  Composing music was pretty difficult at first because it was my first time doing it. Then as I kept going  I started to understand music a little more. I learned that it takes a really long time to compose a nice song. I thought that it could be done in as little as one week. I used to wonder why famous singers like Selena Gomez took a long time to come out with a new album. Now I know why. My song is related to getting ready for the new year and getting ready for christmas. At first my song is a bit fast and overwhelming, just like when you know the holidays are just around the corner. Then towards the middle my song is a bit more clam and relaxed, just like when you feel like you are ready for the holidays. Then towards the end it gets a bit more upbeat, just like in real life because you are so excited for whats coming next. Then finally at the end of my piece its nice and slow and clam, just like sitting by the warm fire drinking hot coco with mini marshmallows. My piece is dedicated to my entire family I love spending the holidays with them and I love them.
