Okay, The Donkey Drag (aka Mr Darcy’s Lament) is coming along nicely now. It is in D major, just like The Phoebe Returns; I find it interesting that both pieces I have created about the creatures who hang out here are in D. I don’t think it really means anything, though.
So The Donkey Drag obviously must include the donkey & me going along cooperatively; and going along not cooperatively; the donkey braying; the donkey kicking (I think you’ll recognize that section quite easily!); the donkey chuckling (yes, Mr Darcy definitely chuckles). So the “sections” of the piece are clear; I was just having trouble before coming up with the music to go in those sections. I think I’m past that difficulty now.
Drivin! CD therefore has one piece written by my car and one piece written by/about my donkey. Wonder what else I can work in? Only have 2 more weeks to be creating & learning it, too!
