Octavia's Motif (classical cello song)

[akalink 163]

I don't know what to think of this. I wrote it today, but its really repetitive (hence the term motif). Let me know what you think of it.

I really like the part by the end where is goes wu,hu,hu,hu,hu,huuu.. sorry don't know what to call it

 

But it's was amazing

really nicely made!

When a song is repetitive you can shift the modal scale to give a different mood, just like most composers back in the old days. Right now it seems you're generally centered around the A harmonic minor, but you could try to a key switch to a A phrygian to give the song an even "darker feel."

 

The tempo change isn't too necessarily, unless you slowly change the tempo slightly in each measure. That will make it more dramatic.

 

Keep it up and I'll keep an eye out to see what you made.

thanks for the tips. I'm know my modes but I didn't know about the phrygian tip. I did know about the tempo change thing though. I kind of going for a more systematic approach, but the constant tempo increase would work too.
