The Finished Hymn, Finally.

I finally finished. believe it or not, here is my first Hymn.


Feel free to examine and give me advice,
I went  away from the conventions just a little bit,
 but I think most of them can be justified
Please take into note that it IS my first Hymn, 
don't be shy, tell me what you think!

    yes, I played your hymn again. There are still 4 chords in there that just don't seem right to me. Other then that I would have to say you did a job well done. I also liked the key change it makes it easier to play. ;) I'm working on my hymn right now and can I just say that you're lucky because yours is done?

    yeah... I think i know which four your talking about.. :) Changing the key made it easier to compose as well, the problem though is that if I want anyone to sing my hymn, the altos go really low in the key of C, so I raised it a 3rd to make it more singable. But I forgot to do that before I posted my photo, oh well, glad you like it! :)

    My advice, start with a chorus, then find a melody for that, then find verses, the better you can use uniform rhythm and word-length in your lyrics, the easier it will be to find a melody that sounds right. but what ever you do, fit the music to the words, not the other way around, so much easier that way

    I really like the chorus! I think that is the most impactful part of the song, and definitely the best part. Good job! :)

    The chorus is the part that inspired the rest of the song, I invented the chorus and then decided that I needed to turn it into a hymn. I showed it to my professor last monday, he really liked it but gave a few suggestions, I liked some and disliked others, the photo up there will be changed soon. I also changed the wording in a few of the verses so it flows a bit better.

    Thanks.

    Just because my manliness makes you feel shy, uncomfortable, and useless... :) why don't you try making a hymn? we'll compare and both grow as composers.
