Jonathan Gong's Final Music Composition Project

For my final composition, I decided to expand on a previous assignment and make it into a full song, as when I originally made this song, there was a time restriction of 1 minute. First, I made the melody a bit longer as the original melody felt a bit rushed. Other than that, I kept basically all of what I previously already had as the first part of the song. I made it a traditional AABA format, but slightly altered as the second A section is shortened and I added a transition into the B section. I used more effects for this to distinguish it from the other sections by adding a filter that muted the sound. From there, it builds back up to the main chorus.

In the first composition project, we had to incorporate randomness into a song, so I decided to keep those same restrictions for my final project, but if I do decide to revisit this project, I can try to use different instrumentation. Overall I'm happy with what I produced as I was able to expand one of my composition projects into a full song and improving it at the same time.
