sky,
Lyrics are the
words to a On a chilly autumn night,
song.
Listen for the whoosh of
wings,
As the barn owl makes its
flight.
6. ๏ Our song used the pitches โDo-Re-Miโ? Composers use
those too.
๏ Our song began on โDoโ and ended on โDoโ. Most songs do
that too.
๏ All of the rhythms were the same but the pitches had an
ABABโ pattern. Did you notice any other patterns?
๏ Since we are most comfortable with โDo-Re-Miโ, we used
them in our song. Other composers like to decide what
mood (happy, sad, angry, excited) their song will be before
they add the pitches. Pitches can help express the mood.
