This last few days I’ve been working on the “orange music” assignment, and I decided to use a brand new approach.

I decided to focus on the mother and the child in the foreground: I wanted to make a very gentle music.

I started with a very simple theme that I had in mind, made by 4 notes: F E C A – I really struggle with creating leitmotifs, so I wanted to give this one a try. I played all the music at the piano and recorded it, writing down the score and leaving out the orchestra. Last time my professor suggested me to work only using the piano, so I ended up with this piece:

All the people that listened to it told me that it was super pop because the 4 notes used in the beginning are the same exact notes in the same exact order of a well-known Italian song. The song gained a huge success back in ’95 so almost any Italian knows it and the unintentional cross-reference was inevitable.
I decided to show the work anyway, so I could have some suggestions on how to transform the melody and how to orchestrate the score.

Here is the result: I will show it to the professor next Friday, so stay tuned for more news!
(The sounds are not final, I know the strings sound terrible)
