bjornpdx Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Yeah, very nice tune for your daughter's wedding. I was reading the poem without the music and wondering how I would have fit the words in a song. Did you write the melodic part for the singer or did she improvise it? -Bjorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote the melody, no improv in this piece. I wrote it in two keys and let the singer choose which key is best for her range and gave her the written score and the vocal part. Best, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Very nice, pretty melody and the string arrangement is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garybrun Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 HI Jerry... well done. To me... little medieval with a touch of Disney!! Female vocal was really good... I think (just my opinion) with a male vocal added also would really make the song hit the top shelf. Seriously well done mate... a composition to be proud off.

Jerry Gerber Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 I recorded Home & Love with a 2nd singer as I wanted to hear two different interpretations of the piece. One singer is from Nashville, the other from Vancouver, Canada. They are both excellent singers. I can't say I prefer one over the other.

Jerry Gerber Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 Hi all, I just remixed this song to better balance the voice with the music. Kira has such a wide dynamic range that I had to use many volume envelope (fader) changes to make sure every word and syllable came through clearly. I think this new version is an improvement.. Thanks for listening, stay safe. PLAY Jerry www.jerrygerber.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Sprouse Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Wow, I couldn' choose one singer over the other either! Lovely song. Would you say this is through-composed? Reminded me of how Sondheim lets the words take primacy over form at times. Edited November 1, 2020 by David Sprouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The music obediently follows the form of the poem. Seems more like 3-part song form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
