Topic: Wings of A Mornng Dove

This is a song I wrote a while ago - just fooling around using song titles in the lyrics.  Well, I re-wrote it and it morphed into this. When I listened to this - it reminded of Jan, bc she is so kind and it is something she would sing. P.S. it's not country !

Hope you like it !

PEACE !!
Jim

Re: Wings of A Mornng Dove

What a creative concept, Jim! Weaving song titles into original lyrics is such a clever compositional technique. It reminds me of the way classical composers would quote melodic themes from other works as a kind of musical conversation across time.

The fact that it started as you just fooling around is honestly how some of the best creative ideas happen. In my experience with piano composition, the pieces that come from playful experimentation always end up with a more natural, organic flow than the ones I overthink.

Grah1, I would love to hear your "Garcia's Glasses" too! It sounds like a similar idea and I bet you each brought a totally different flavor to the concept. That is what makes songwriting so fascinating - the same technique in different hands produces something completely unique.

Beautiful work, and what a lovely tribute to Jan!
