September 5, 200719 yr hi all, so, I was screwing around with chord inversions, and I came up with a neat little progression, almost by accident. so, I wrote a melody over it, and here we are :) it follows AABA form, and it is a 32 bar form. the head should be played, then the solos, over the same form, but to keep it concise, I just made the solos 8 bars, and repeated the same thing so that the score looked alright. then, I repeat the whole head again. it is written for a rhythm section and 2 horns, but those horns could be whatever. I used an alto sax and a clarinet, largely because I felt that that combo isn't used enough :) anyhow, here it is : Autumn Dusk. tell me what you think! Autumn Dusk.mid
September 7, 200719 yr Wow, that was pretty good. the 'B' section kind of reminded me of Steely Dan... ...I had fun playing along with this piece, nice work!:thumbsup: ~Kal
September 7, 200719 yr Nice, could use a bit of variation here and there, but a bit of improv will sort that out, very nice!
September 17, 200719 yr Author yea, it would. sadly, I was getting kind of lazy, so I did a lame 8 bar alto solo which I repeated. that would be where someone would go for it over the 32 bar form though. thanks all for the positive feedback!
September 22, 200719 yr i like it! like you said this is a kind of song that could be adapted to different instrumentations (i'd prefer trumpet and sax or something, seeing that im not a clarinet fan)...
September 23, 200719 yr Author cool. that's fine.. I am... seeing as I play one, but I also think that the timbre of the clarinet and the sax go well together :) thanks for the feedback though!
