Oodin säveltämisestä

 Minulla on säveltämisestä ollut paljon taukoa, mutta tänään sävelsin jotakin, ja jonkin verran myöhemmin katselin villakoiraani Banjoa,joka on kohta 12-vuotias ja aprikoosinvärinen keskikokoinen poikakoira, oikein fiksi ja kiva luonne, niin kun se loikoi ja katteli ja tuumin sille sanoa, että tollanen villakoira on tällä tavalla hieno, ja siitä tunnelmasta lauloin ääneen, ja tuli aika venäläisen kuuloinen, ihan hieno sävel, ja sen sitten raapustin paperille. Eli lauletaan tunnelmasta, jokaon että hienoa elää tolleen viisaan tai muuten hienon yksilön kanssa.



 Here is how to learn to compose music:

"Song inspired by the moment's atmosphere
Now that trees and bushes are getting their leaves, instead of Eurovision song contest, I feel that the nature would somehow long for humans too to sing, maybe like this, a little bit like on the summer cottage or an freely organized choir or singing at home, like feels to suit the moment.
29.4.2017 A singing skill from a few years ago came to my mind today morning, when grass was most places already green, sun was shining, birds sang and the green plants on my window created a feel of green, there was like the summer time a haze like atmosphere in the air. So with that atmosphere came to my mind a tune that I roughly knew, or something in the direction, so I sang it in a way that emphasized the fascination of the atmosphere, like doves or yodling(?) of the Alps or composing, creating sound like the atmosphere, not according to rigid forms but singing especially the parts that are musical, emphasizing the atmoshphere tones, like assembling from pieces of different strenght, somehow a very natural song and atmospheric, a little bit like what a composer seeks for with his/her tune: a moment with such an atmosphere but richer one, and then singing it naturally, not la-la-laa or the like as if from notes but instead from the places that the atmosphere touches oneself, one is fascinated by such an experience, but somehow on a general level and not a murmur of personal life.
This singing skill comes from trying to learn wider expression to be able to sing emotionally like this or a song like that or with a clear atmosphere, impressively or whatever, many kinds of colours in voice, many ways to approach song as one oneself is naturally, since there are moments in life, spirits and many different songs. So when one then picks from that spectrum according to the moment, but somewhat like song being partly carried away by the wind, not of even strenght, one manages to describe the atmosphere tones of the moment, not only in tones of voice but also with singing skills, somehow naturally."

"An easy way to write down the melodies, but I am not sure if iut is right: https://composingmelodies.blogspot.com/2019/11/about-plotting-down-melodies.html"

Finlandia-hymni

 Soittelin tässä itsenäisyyspäivän vuoksi Finlandia hymniä ja kuulostelin sävelmää: eikö se olekin kevättalven tms hangilla hiihtelyn luontokokemusta kuvaava, jossakin, missä on aukeaa ja hangen päällä kerros uutta lunta?


21.12.2020   Advices about composing a hymn

 "F36.   Composing a hymn is a different thing, but I guess that one can use the same piece of advice about how to produce a melody like the atmosphere. As far as I understadn, a hymn is the atmosphere of some place where there is frcatureless nature and it's wisdom emphasizes virtues needed in a good society, and offers some view of how such fractyureless atmospheric society is possiblke, what it is build upon and what it is like in at,osphere, and that is composed: some moment wandering there, like Finlandia Hymn is about skiing on sunny spring winter landscape somewhere in nature with open spaces and trees and lots of snow, and somehow that fracturelessness is a good model for society yet familiar for almost all."
