arps cheery happy peaceful

thing i wrote after i ended up taking a huge walk and, you guessed it, i took a shortcut to a familiar place.

in this song i embraced some things i liked doing back when i started composing:
1. minor 3rd ornament
play a note, play the note a minor 3rd above it, and play the original note again. do this in quick succesion and you got this cool ass sound! and it sounds even cooler when you line it up with the extensions of chords, for example:
take E major, the 7 and 9 extensions of it are D# and F#. and would you look at that! its a minor 3rd! now play the ornament starting from D# over E major and it sounds really cool!
this is such a familiar sound to me that i immediatly recognize it when i hear it.
ive heard it in mainly classical music for some reason, in Chopin's minute waltz (the 2nd part) and the climax of Ravel's prelude from Le Tombeau de Couperin (probably even more but i cant remember anything else)
2. C∆7 - Bb∆7
i liked playing a major 7 chord and then playing a major 7 chord a whole tone below it. it sounds cool! and i used a lot in this song.
