Olympics 2012: The Stadium
Here comes another piece, now the second, that I’ve written by hand. I’m still excruciatingly slow at it, but I also think I’m making progress as far as efficiency goes.
The idea behind it is pretty embarrassingly simple - ever since I’d seen the opening for Star Trek Deep Space Nine, I’ve always wanted to write a piece that uses that interesting “twinkling” effect. What better chance to give it a shot than in a stock Olympics anthem?
I think I’m getting better at long melodies (though it never really seems that way when you’re staring at a blank page), and I’m happy enough with this one that I think I may follow up with a piano-only version. Might as well get as much mileage out of a tune as you can.
