A hymn that I composed for Austin Chinese Christian Campus Fellowship (ACCCF). Hope it can be performed in the Spring Camp 2009. I need someone write the lyrics for me since my chinese sucks.. :)
Background:
I felt sad coz ....I was very emotional recently, so i transform my negatively thought to some positive energy. One day when i sit under the tree, the melody comes across in my mind, I wrote this music as a gift to my church in the US.
The main theme is easy to write, it takes 5 minutes to write the
The chorus: the 3 sequence is difficult to write coz i use the VII chord in the 3rd sequence, which the function of VII is usually to modulate. Hymn is supposed to be simple, it's so hard to bring the contour down to the original key. I led myself to a trap by using a VII chord, it's so hard to harmonize. I try and try, and finally discover the VII is vii o which is a diminished chord!!!!!!!!! I spent 2 hours on "calculating" this tricky trap constructed by myself.
Intro: Take 5 minutes to write, it's the second version, i forget the first version.
