FAWM: "Stop All the Bullying"

Stop All the Bullying

Skirmish: Stop it! (@atornberg) Challenge: PUBLIC DOMAIN

Liner Notes

Thank you for the great prompt. Unfortunately it is hard to stop all bullying but if we all try, we might eventually succeed. This week challenge is public domain which invites us to "Incorporate something from the PUBLIC DOMAIN into a new song." I used E G A B motif from "Greensleeves" which is coming from time to time in my piece. Thank you for listening and for sharing your thoughts. Please let me know if you are happy to collaborate with me.

Very strong! I hope you get someone to write lyrics to it.

Great work Nadia! I love what you did with the Greensleeves motif. The accented left hand and overall strong handed playing does evoke the roughness of a bully which added a great touch to your work.

❤️❤️what a beautiful cause and a beautiful piano piece, Nadia! Skirmish & challenge in one. You’re creative and talented.

The intro melody is almost sauntering, in the way a bully would. I hear the counter melody as the writer standing up to the bully. I love the big chords and energy in this one!

Great use of Public Domain music! I think your playing is so amazingly creative. I sometimes wish I had spent more time on music theory to be able to take melody and turn it on its head like this. Great job!
