Moods

by Diccon Maude

This piece was the star attraction in my G.C.S.E. music exam composition folder. This is a rough idea of what it actually sounded like on the tape _ I used a 4-track recorder and played the Music 4000 live, using a guitar for the bass line. It can't have been too bad _ I have just received an A for the exam! The music is so titled because of the contrasting Moods it portrays as it plays. The third part is supposed to be rockier than it actually is, but there you are...

Most of the voices used are borrowed from somewhere else, but some I have adapted or made from scratch _ experiment with them yourselves. The programming is probably very poor compared with anyone else's standards, but maybe you can pick up a tip or two from somewhere.
