1. Compose a 810 bar melody that expresses the meaning of the following text by Dorothy Parker. You can create a melody piano or actually set the text as a song.
2. 1.Add your chords (triads and 7th chord), one per measure. At least 3 of your triads should be inverted, and 1 chord must be a seventh chord.
- You composition must contain chords built on at least 5 different root pitches.
2.Indicate the chords quality for each triad(major, minor, augmented or diminished).
3.Indicate the root (not bass) note of each chords and its inversion.
3. 1. Record an accurate performance: Record both your melody and its supporting chords. Make sure the performance that you submit matches your score.
2. Create an .mp3 file from your recording to submit.
4. 1. Describe the meaning of this text in your own words.What phrases and images in the text might be represented musically by humor, tension, instability, and motion, and what aspects might be represented by relaxation, stability, and rest?
2. What were the two greatest challenges for you in trying to express this meaning, and how did you use the following musical elements: melodic shape (arc, high/low points, steps and leaps), scale degree tendencies (leading tone rising to the tonic, subdominant falling to mediant, etc), and rhythm (short and long durations, consistent versus varied) to help solve those challenges?
3. How were harmonic choices affected by your interpretation of the text? Why did you place inverted chords and seventh chords where you did? Be very specific and cite evidence from the text and from your composition.
4. How well do you feel those musical elements solved the challenges? What other musical elements, or what other ways of using those elements, might have been helpful in solving the challenges?
