Aivi Tran | Motivic Transformation

Small homework assignment from my sophomore theory class. The exercise was to take a pattern of notes - a "motif" - and spin it into an entire piece, by writing it backwards, forwards, higher, lower, in a different rhythm, etc. Hence the title of the assignment, "Motivic Transformation."

I use a few motifs, but my main one is only 4 notes long. For the composers out there: remember that one small idea can take you very far, so if you're stuck, recycle! :)

The beginning reminds me of Zelda, and...well I guess the same for the rest of the song too lol.
