Another one bites the dust

but in a good way.

Today I finished ANOTHER song. It was "Once upon a December". I knew this one would probably be the easiest but I'm still in awe how quickly it came together. I knew at first listen that this would be a simple Waltz type of song and that's what I went for in my arrangment.

I decided to use two violins and a piano. I didn't want to limit my instrument features to just band so I'm using violins here because it fits perfectly. The piano accompaniment is very simple, mostly quarternotes giving it a chime type of feeling in the higher register. The violins offer that sweeter sound and in part of the song act just like another vocal line, accompanying Anastasia in a duet form. It is simple but beautiful and I am quite pleased even with the first draft :)

I will most likely start on the next song today as well because it will, without a doubt, be the hardest one to conquer - "In the Dark of the night". Though it will be the most difficult, it is one that I am most excited about because the reason it will be so difficult is it will be so different :)

I can't wait!!!!
