Science Project Video

I made this video with my pardners for science.

I composed the music, narrated, acted, wrote the script, filmed, and yes, I know I used the chords to "Your Grace Is Enough" on the ending, but I thought the music fit.

p.s. I was just promoted today to a speaking role in the Shakespeare show.

Melody and Harmony...

Awesome story.

I was writing a song called "Melody and Harmony". I had a chorus, but no verses to fit it.
Just the night before last night I found words and music for a verse, but had no words for a second.

Just yesterday Mr. Taylor spotted me playing guitar in the commons. He asked me if I was playing originals or covers, and I replied that I was playing originals, because I was.

He told me good, and that I had fifteen minutes to write a song.

So I took the opportunity to finish it.

And I did.

Still haven't showed it to him, but just today at lunch I was in the choir room, bored.

So I wrote out a kind of choral 3-part arrangement of the chorus for 6-7 mixed voices.

I pulled together a few random people who were in the choir room, taught it to them and we sang.

It's just a testament to how amazing McNary is.

They had it learned and sounding awesome in 10 minutes.

We performed for the people who were coming in for jazz choir.

They loved it.

Needless to say, I will be studying up on how to mic a 6-7 voice group.
