I’m in the process of deciding if I should use traditional folk music in this piece.
So I’m testing out the idea. It's been a while since I used a folk song in a composition so I'm perhaps a little rusty.
Right now its important for me to keep the idea pure so today, I spent the time in an iterative process to reduce this Horse song into its most basic form: melody and bass line only, and the bass line in as simple a form as possible and with as few changes of harmony as possible.
I think I've managed to take out everything extraneous. I need to do this because only then can I hear the possibilities of transformations that will constitute 'composing'with the piece…
(ps. the second period of the music is incomplete in this picture…)
