Music composition
This is the most comprehensive subject as every nation every culture have their own music, sound and scale preferences. So it totally depends on every persons inner instinct and expertise to determine a music composition. As I am interested in Rock, Blues and country music and playing this for sometime, so I will give my perspective about music composition. These are some factors one should know and follow while composition:
1) Melody or harmony or lyrics : No one in the world knows while composing a some which should come first. For me lyrics and melody must go hand in hand while composing a song. Because if harmony come first it bind the melody of the song in rules like it must follow 1 IV V chord progression. One a person make a composition roughly with lyrics then only one should move to rhythm and harmony(Chord) section.
2) Motive : One should determine the motive of the song, like if some one wants a happy song but filled the song with minor chord or scales then it may sound unpleasant. Here one should know music theory properly to do justice with the song. Motives are also determined by intervals. Bigger the intervals happier will the song and vice verse.
3) Tension and resolve: As music is like giving a speech and in a speech the are high point and low point to capture the imagination of the audience. Same a song must have tension part and after creating tension one must resolve it by proper note. Tension can be created if one have proper knowledge of intervals. Smaller intervals create higher tension and bigger intervel create low tension. 4th 5th and 7th note of a scale creats most tension. And 1st note of the scale called tonic is the most relaxed note among all the notes of the scale. Again 2nd 3rd and 6th note of the scale are need to be resolved but didnot create too much tension.
4) Sound : Sound is very important. Guitarist spend good amount of time with their padel and Amp to get a good sound. One cannot give high gain distortion in a country ballad music and one will not use DJ sound in a contemporary Rock song. Every instrument in a composition must have a proper sound to shute the mood of the song.
This is in nutshell I discussed about composition. One have to study indebth to compose better and for that one have to study a lot.. Try to compose some tune today and enjoy
