Lessons with Dustin Hahn

I noticed you didn't have a topic to post my assignment in.

You asked me to:

Please write a chorale setting (SATB two-staff) of a simple folk melody (like Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star or something).

Here it is:

A midi file and a MUS.

twinkle.MUS

twinkle.MID

Yes.

Sorry about that, and thanks for making the thread for me.

Parallel Fifths: mm. 3, 5-6, 7-8, 11 (between bass and alto voices)

Parallel Octaves: mm. 1-2, 6, 8, 9-10 (between soprano and tenor voices)

Stylistically, your lines are very difficult to sing in tune, because they leap in odd and non-intuitive ways. I'd like you to redo this, taking into account parallel fifths and octaves NOT being allowed, and allow the lines to move in a much more stepwise fashion, so as to be easier to sing. I'll post a sample once you've done a rewrite.
