This was the first song we wrote. We did it as a class in under 45 minutes, choosing things at random to create a catchy song. For the lyrics, we used sentences from an article about composing songs. We chose an element of music to start with out of the 3 main ones (rhythm, melody and harmony). Then we picked a time signature and a key signature before choosing which scale and chords we would be using. Finally, we created a rhythm by starting with 4 bars of quavers and changing these quavers to create this.
This short composition was created by Michael and I. We wrote it in the key of G major using the G major scale. The chords we used were G (chord 1), Am (chord 2), C (chord 4) and D (chord 5). This was our first attempt at a composition without any help from Nic.
