Yesterday I worked up a new arrangement of the Irksome Girl / Midnight Maze medley.
Jerry had told me that the melody of Midnight Maze, particularly in the B part, involved some very awkward bowing and fingering, and I also thought it might be more interesting to make his part different from mine — in keeping with the theme of the dream world and its weird juxtapositions.
I didn’t want to take the time to really write the guitar part — who wants to notate strumming!? — so I only roughed it in for Irksome Girl in order to provide the intro and a sense of the chord structure and syncopation. The guitar will also play during Midnight Maze, I just didn’t bother writing it out.
Keep in mind that MIDI is a digital format — these sounds are just attempting to resemble a guitar, dulcimer, and fiddle.
So glad to finally catch up with you here~DUH! I wondered why there were no new entries, even though that’s the VERY thing you had been blogging about! LOL! It may take me a long time, but one day I really DO finally get it….
