Project 2 Sibelius

Writing about this composition brings a surprising contrast to my previous couple of weeks, As I have new unexpected developments to share.

My previous composition, linked here;

Was recently altered in ways I couldn’t understand, They seemed to have added the main melody, Something that I lacked, And didn’t understand, so when I logged onto the computer, This surprised me. At first, the melodies sounded good, but they were arranged poorly, meaning that certain notes the person added couldn’t be performed. My tutor adjusted the notes so they can be composed, and lowered the octaves, and adjusted the bar beats to 4/4 per bar, so it wasn’t as hard and had a good structure.

Now with an accompanying beat, the direction of this piece is a lot more clear, And I’m happy with it cause it doesn’t even sound cheesy, and I’m in a more comfortable position to continue working o this piece. As of now, I am currently finishing of the B section of my final composition.

I also managed to find some interesting origins related to the word ‘Sibelius’

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Sibelius

I managed to discover a well-known Composer named Jean Sibelius a Finnish composer known for helping Finland establish a national identity, I believe his name cause significance is music today, was able to inspire a national identity, creating something unique.

An example of Jean Sibelius composition;

Music is like a type of communication, to present meaning through media, And in this case, Jean Sibelius utilized this fact and was able to create something that expressed a country’s identity.

In terms of my own composition, I haven’t yet established how I want it to connect to my audience. That is something I will keep in mind when assemble the final composition.
