Daybreak rolls forward fast! Drafts 13 and 14



Sunrise on Pinkney Island (Beverly Gaddy)

Chickadee - 4 note song (Beverly Gaddy)

Crows make a cooing sound when sitting together (Beverly Gaddy)

Recording Frog Sunset Serenade at Providence Presbyterian (Beverly Gaddy)

Now that I got the harmony straightened out, I'm moving forward with the brass and winds!  This is the fun part!  CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO DRAFT 13.  I've filled in up to minute two, with the strings (and harmony) fleshed out through to the frogs.  I don't especially like the harmony I laid down here for the frogs so I'll be working that part out when I get to it! I hope this music opens your ears to the birdsongs near you! Thanks for listening!

MOVING RIGHT ON TO DRAFT 14.  Here I manoeuvre the winds and brass echos a little more playfully with the many carolina wren songs.  I'm trying something new for the frogs...still need something different here.  I don't want the frogs to be dark. I want them to be playful, light.  I'll keep working.  I like the middle section leading up to the frogs -- it gets so delicate. 

I hope this inspires you to follow your dream.  What I mean is don't just dream your dream--LIVE YOUR DREAM!
