I'm right now, writing a "song" for a choir about "summer"! The lyrics are fine, romantic, etc, nothing like me. The song is tonal, and needs to be tonal all the way.
It's up to me to take the challenge to the next level and make something that I enjoy making.  |
I agree... I think that some people here do not realize that not every work is written as a "masterpiece". Some works, like it or not, are only "etudes".
For example, my work in the Major Works forum started off as an experiment that was prompted when someone asked me (off-handedly) why I never wrote anything with a harp part.
Not every work one writes is a gem, but
every work written functions as an etude for the composer in some form.
