UncleRed99 Posted October 25 Posted October 25 My friend, @MK_Piano and I were fooling around with some of our scores on a discord call last evening. He had the bright idea to modulate something that's written with an intense emphasis on negative emotion, in a minor key, to a major key. (I have no idea why I've never thought of this lol) This can be done by selecting all notes in the score, and transposing up by a third, diatonically. (Obviously this doesn't take into account any off-key chords used throughout the score, but the result is just as fun to playback lol). Adversely, you can do this in reverse to a score written in a major key. Here's an example, where I've instead of modulating between relative major/minor, I've went through the trouble of modulating to the Major of the same key. (C minor to C major). I used my Halloween Submission as a test dummy because why not. Hah!!!

Kvothe Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago @UncleRed99 Taste: what I like about this is: Tranposing is great way to learn how transform themes and ideas. I think more should try it out. Both pieces executed that well! 10 Thematic and harmonic textures: (I am combing harmony and melodic categories into one) The foreground, which is double in the woods, is nice. The background elements provide a solid harmonic support. It is homophonic in nature. Still, having solid back bone is important. The main vocals cant sing with back vocal, yes? You were certiantly creative in this idea. 🙂 I can not score in the execution of the competion for this was not for competition... The form is rather simple but yet well done. Great job overall Quote
