Mao of Love: Preamble – Poem Reading and Chord Progressions

The poem reading was done without music. The idea is to have Samara expresses the expression on the poem – tone, pitch, tempo, pace and all. So it was the reading first not the music.

As the reading is very passionately done and sounds so serene, I thought of accompany the reading with the Inspirational Serene grooves. The genre is a bit different from the singing part and that should add more colors to the piece.

So how does the music sounds like?

The poem reading determines the music. This is possible because with the varieties of the key frequencies given by each word give own chords. Since this is possible, I wrote a program to determine the chords related to the words.

It was too random so I decided to filter out some chords to fit only those of C Major Scale. It works so we have the poem reading with inspirational serene music. Why I didn’t think of doing something like this 20 years ago?! The way I look at it, all people’s readings can be turned into music!

The reading then was adjusted to sit well with the 4-beat measure of 60 BPM.
