Slow to post these, but I’m enjoying the process in making sure there’s some replay value. I may not make it this year, but I will get 365 posted eventually… no signs of slowing and tons and tons of ideas flowing.

This lullaby is something you might want to try singing to yourself in bed. The melody is like one of those old doorbell melodies. It starts the down beat, and broken chords follow it in the left hand.

The second part modulates from Bb to its parallel Bb minor. The Dominant V7 (F7) functions the same in both keys and makes it easy to transition in and out of the different tonalities.

The squeak of the studio door proved useful for some sound design after the vocal finishes.
