A Nice Tune For You

Hey everyone! Its been a while since I submitted anything new.

This is an jazz piece in 6/8 but payed with an African feel emphasizing the dotted 8th note (making it feel like 4/4). I wrote this tune for a jazz composition class I'm taking and I'm still tweaking it before its due, so any comments and suggestions would be helpful.

I repeated the tune twice in the midi file. The first time is with the melody and the second time is without. I also uploaded a picture of the score so you can see what it looks like.

It's what the title says. 'A nice tune'. Enjoyable. A lot.

Did you write this with Bandinabox?

Thanks for listening. I wrote this tune on Finale after a bit a tinkering on the piano. I only used Band In A Box to hear what it would sound like before we play it in class next week (I'm not a very good pianist). I pretty much had the whole tune planned out in my head, BIAB just helped me fine tune little parts of it.

i wish i had a better midi ummmm listening to device...or whatever its called...yeah this is enjoyable

I think you'll get the full midi experience with any media player you use (quick time, windows media, vlc, media classic, etc). If you think the quality isn't great because you don't have a good enough media player, your wrong. Midi sounds like crap to begin with!

Thanks for listening by the way.

* in fact, midi doesn't sound at all, you must be referring to General MIDI.

It's really a nice tune. I think it needn't be so long. You repeated the theme very often. But it's nice to listen especially as background music...

Groovy. Is "A nice tune for you" the title? I just took out my melodica and started soloing over the non-melody part.....nice chord structures, i guess. The kalimba in there adds a nice touch.

Very good job with the percussion, which is rare lol...

I think the melody could've been more....perhaps simpler. It doesn't stick out of in my mind. Maybe 'cuz I just woke up...

Overall, very well done. KUDOS! I liked this one a lot. It was A Nice Tune for Me.:P
