awwdrum96 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I attempted an Art Song based off of Dean Young's poem "Bird-Shaped Cliff." Yes, I did get his permission to use his poem for my text-setting melody. Here is a mp3 and PDF score to follow along. Please let me know what you think. -Andrew MP3 Play / pause JavaScript is required. 0:00 0:00 volume > next menu Bird-Shaped Cliff > next PDF Bird-Shaped Cliff - Full Score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis Hernández Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Hi The melody is nice and the piano is finely worked. One suggestion: it seems that the piece is always gon on and on, I mean to say, I don'r recognize repetition parts, and for a song (with lyrics) I think it's better. Sometimes I don't understand the figure thar appears the first time in bar 11. In a tonal context, an odd chord (Bbmaj7) appears an a tremolo strongly marcato with the note B natural,.... The effect is comic, I don't know if that was your intention (the lyrics here: "but then waht?"). If I wanted yo give a comic effect a would add more effects along the piece (not only this one, which appear several times). In a word: it's confusing (for me).
