July 20, 200620 yr Hi Everyone, I'm happy with the theme in this... but that's all I have so far, really. I'd love suggestions on how to flesh it out. I suppose I could use a key change or a bridge, but I'd prefer a more interesting, powerful transition. Thanks for any suggestions, David http://files.filefront.com/A+Thememp3/;528...;/fileinfo.html Or here's the MIDI, but I suggest you ignore this: A_Theme.mid
July 21, 200620 yr One suggestion I do have is that perhaps you could compose a second theme or theme group and use ideas from both your first and second theme to create a build up that both climaxes and modulates somewhere to your liking. Hope that helps.
July 21, 200620 yr This is a difficult question because of not knowing what your intentions are with the piece. Another possibility is to play it in your mind and let it move forward a bit. Be ready to make the briefest notes at least, to act as a memory until you've sorted something out. M
July 24, 200620 yr Author Thank you, both of you, for your suggestions. The truth is, I'm really not sure yet what my intentions are with this piece. I'll see if something comes to me. :mellow: David G.
August 6, 200620 yr You could pull off the old (but always reliable) trick of making your resolution the beginning of the next theme. That may help...
August 10, 200620 yr Author You could pull off the old (but always reliable) trick of making your resolution the beginning of the next theme. That may help... I was considering that. That's what I've done with several other pieces, and it's worked quite well.I think I'll abandon this piece for a while and look back at it later. Maybe I'll have some new inspiration. Thanks.
