_Soar_ is my MC4 Veteran entry. It placed #13 out of 96 Veteran
entries.
-- Comments --
I'm pretty proud of this little tune. It was started quite a while
before MC4; at the time, I had no intention of entering it in the MC, but
when the deadline was fast approaching, it was the best candidate for
entry.
Because I only decided at the last minute to submit it for MC4,
it is a rushed piece. ("Yeah, yeah. That's what they all say.") It is
quite a bit shorter than I had originally envisioned, and the ending was
completed on the day of the deadline.
On the music itself: I'm most proud of the guitar lead / melody in
this piece. It was one of those musical ideas that come straight out of
the fertile compost heap that is the mind. :) I was able to put that
melody down in one sitting, which is abnormal for me. (I usually take
quite a long time to write something I'm happy with).
That melody is what inspired the title.
