Today I share a piece of music, Chant 1, which is last piano piece I’ve written in a while.
The general idea of the piece was to create a melody and to repeat it, each time adding a new note to the harmony. The motive, which is played in unison with its harmonies for the entire piece, starts out as a two part harmony, later picks up a third, fourth and lastly fifth voice.
I chose “Chant” because of the choral nature of the melody, and perhaps I will score it for choir one day. For now, I like how it functions as a piano piece.
