Voluntary in F Major

A 79-note melody, consisting of a 12-note theme starting with the first note, then the first and second, then the first, second and third, and so on, until I managed to make it all the way through the tone row.

I was thinking about it. I initially said that I wrote it in two hours, but in fact I wrote it down in about two hours. I've been writing it all week in my long morning walks.

I have to get an earlier start on these, although rushing them can lead to some interesting results.

Voluntary in A Minor

A little tarantella. An odd little tarantella, I think. But I like it, and I missed my Friday deadline, so here it is on Saturday!

So here's a PDF of the same for the interested.

Nothing much to say here! Just something I worked out in my brain standing out and waiting for the bus.

Voluntary in C Major

Starting again from C Major, this second set of weekly pieces will be "Voluntaries," instead of "Preludes." Why? No reason not to. Plus it keeps me from running into some truly silly numbers. So I'm retiring "Prelude" - for now, anyway - and moving on to "Voluntary."

So after a week off - mainly centered around preparing videos from my composition recital of November 1st - I'm back with my first Voluntary:

Hymn-A-Week #24

Took a week off to do composition recital stuff, including getting some videos uploaded of some of the preludes and various other pieces from Ego Trip 2015. I'm back!

Here's a little CM-with-repeated-last-line hymn; I was feeling a bit folksie.
