The key signatures of music are kind of like the signs of the zodiac. If you take all the music in a given key, you’ll discover certain characteristics —﻿ characteristics that can define your personality.

Visit CBC Music to learn more about the characteristics of all the key signatures covered so far. Which key are you? http://www.cbcmusic.ca/signatureseries

The Signature Series is produced for CBC Radio 2's In Concert by @paolopp with Denise Ball.

Note to aficionados of music theory: For the sake of the joy of the mixing possibilities created, The Signature Series treats F-sharp major and G-flat major as the same key.

F-sharp major: The Mystic

Peter here! 
It's about time I share my piece along with Cate's. I tried to represent a scene from my one of my favorite animated films, Five Centimeters Per Second directed by Makoto Shinkai. Here's a quote from that scene

"And right then it felt like I finally understood where everything was, eternity, the heart , the soul. It was like I was sharing every experience I'd ever had in my past 13 years. And then, the next moment, I became unbearably sad. I didn't know what to do with these feeling. Her warmth, her soul. How was I supposed to treat them? That, I did not know. Then right then, I clearly understood that we would never be together. Our lives not yet fully realized, the vast expanse of time. They lay before us and there was nothing we could do. But then, all my worries, all my doubt, started melting away. All that was left were Akari's soft lips on mine." - Takaki Toono

I'm probably bias but, from a non-bias standpoint, I can honestly say what a beaut. The juxtaposition of the bright and gray feeling to this composition is sincerely heart warming and heart stinging at the same time. The octave intervals add on so simply yet so much in this piece. Indeed it has this Yiruma-esque to it that I really admire (Yiruma, where do I even start?) Congrats to Peter for being a 'whaley, whaley' sensible human!

A Place After This

[Cate here] 
Oh how exciting! This'll be a whale-full of fun sharing music to the world with Peter. He's also a great composer, so I'm ecstatic to how this will progress.
On to the composition, I primarily wrote this because I couldn't find words to describe the feeling (graduating). So, I thought to transcribe such tacit thoughts to notes and strings and keys. 

[Peter here!]
Welcome to our first video that features a 'whaley' beautiful composition by Cate! My first personal reaction to this piece was very euphoric, but as the piece progressed on, melancholy soon took over. What I felt was a mix between absolute happiness and sadness. The emotional build up pulled all my heartstrings at around 1:30. I recommend listening to more of Cate's stuff in the future, it'll keep on being beautiful.
