Seeing how you guys constantly practice the PotC series, I've decided to try something that may be even more fun than the previous challenge....

Study that piece above, particularly from 5.18 to 6.08 . In there, I think you'd find an interesting duet, needless to say of which section. Two parts, the upper one with rather challenging notes, the lower one with an interesting note variation, one that took me some time to grasp.

My challenge?

1. Listen to and appreciate the piece. (Don't think that would be too hard for you people)

2. Find what key it is in and what the parts entail--mood, rhythm, melody, etc.


And the bonus this time?


PRESENT that duet, to the very note (Only the duet, of course, those 50 seconds). No mistakes, no errors, not even the slightest deviation from the piece. (Ok, just joking, there'll be an acceptable range of error, but the notes MUST be correct, at the very least)


Being the smart people you are (*wink*) you'd realise that since this is a duet, you would need to work together to get the parts done and presented.


So, from now until, say, the end of term 4 (The actual week 10. Ample time, I'd say), work together to work out the score from listening to the piece. DO NOT search for the actual score on internet, library, or in any way--use your ears and listen. I've tried it, written the score down without any external aid. It is possible, and you are more than capable of doing it.

Start now, and Good Luck!

PS: Please do not let this stop you from mugging for your EOYEs. Study first, then do this in your free time. Don't want ANY complaints from your parents or teachers saying you're spending too much time on the project. Need any help, look for me.

1) This piece has a very gentle and calm nature and shows warmth and peacefulness of life in the shire. It also portrays a sense of belonging.

2) The first part of the song is in D major, changes to B major and finally back to D major.
I'm not very sure if there are any other changes in key in the middle of the song. The major key is used as it sounds more gentle and warm as compared to a minor key which sounds mysterious and does not suit the purpose of this song.


3) The purpose of this song is to portray the tranquility of the Shire and what life was like there: peaceful and happy. Everything was carefree.

signing off with much hopes that my answers are not too far off,
Samuel
