For those keeping score at home, I've now in my back pocket three more instrumental songs for my upcoming instrumental CD, "Wordlessly." The titled assigned to them are thus:
- Gethsemane
- A Covenant Between Them
- Home Is Where You Are
Ah, but maybe you're thinking, "'Gethsemane!' I've already downloaded that from his nifty
download page at download.com!" Well, you'd be only partly right, because I've completely re-recorded the song with some additional instrumentation, plus I've beefed up the song and made it along the lines of an ABA song structure.
This is not the same as an
ABBA song structure.
ABA song structure just means that the song is in three basic parts: The first part is your main theme (A), the second part is a second, complementary theme (B) and then the third part is a repeat of the first part (A again), perhaps with some slight variation.
Verse-chorus-verse would be an ABA structure. It's really that simple.
So, for "Gethsemane," I took the short song as originally recorded, used that as the A part, and wrote a B part for the middle, between the two As. The song's now more than four minutes long -- like a real song.
If "A Covenant Between Them" sounds familiar to you, perhaps you attended my sister's wedding. It was one of the songs I played during the prelude of her wedding.
And if "Home Is Where You Are" sounds familiar, you're crazy, because it's brand spankin' new.
