My longest track so far.
I-I11-IV-IVm with a (hopefully!) striking C section.
All done on Finale.

Ballade 1 Ab.mp3

Recently became interested in ostinatos (ostinati?).

A short ostinato piece in D major.
String ostinato with woodwind melody.
A-A-B-A-C form.
I-V/IV/7-IV/3-iv/3
Major to minor for fun!

A short ostinato track using woodwinds instead of strings for the ostinato.
3/4 time for a change.
Created on Finale.

Ostinato 3 Cm.mp3

Ostinato track in Bb major.
Going for the John Williams “flying woodwinds.”
Might have done an homage to the end of the piano solo in “Layla” at the end of the second phrase!
Done on Finale.

Heard a film soundtrack that featured a bass glissando.
Mostly G minor, descending I-VII-vii-VI motif.
Solo violin, bass, bass clarinet.
Finale.
Thanks for listening!

Mysterioso G Minor.mp3

A fanfare, then a 5/4 minuet-y section.
Be major, mostly.
Thanks for listening!

Festival Eb Major.mp3

Saw a YouTube video about the James Bond theme.
3 feel instead of 4. 
C# minor instead of E minor, which led to the Beethoven.
My youngest tells me this is called a “mash-up!”

Started with the cello line.
Done on Finale.
