Project 5: Pentatonic Melody

Andante (Bass)

This is a lilting solo for a bass voice. I played with rising and descending sequences for the first section. I then inverted the first motif in a new mode, using a descending-rising pattern instead.



Allegretto (Tenor)

In a similar style, this melody written for a tenor voice uses short phrases, but changes mode more frequently, alternating between D flat and D natural to effectively change the mode.




Allegro (Soprano)

I was going for a flowing, bright sounding melody for soprano solo, something akin to an Alleluia, Amen or Hosanna solo. The slurred semiquavers are contrasted with staccato quavers. Again I played with sequences and inverting motifs.
