Guess we really fail when it comes to datelines - but then again, this isn't work related. We just thought of scoring out I Giorni, courtesy of Amiable Aix, as it didn't sound complicated. A quick experimental tinkle and we found the song to be in D Major - making the job easy.

What didn't make the job easy was the fact that we rarely touch the piano in the presence of family members, not to mention that the parents would be watching telly till bedtime, and that we're not really playing the piano but thunking on keys till we get the correct sounds.

Yes, we're rather bad to make it seem like all them lessons were a waste of time and money to our parents. Oh, they do know we can play, but ever since we've stopped playing for the Evening Service we have not really played for pleasure in their presence. We've only played for the Evening Service at church because the Evening Service then allowed us to use the piano rather than tampering with the keyboard (which we're totally incompetant at). And with a congregation with an average age of 50, just keeping it simple as shown in the hymnal was what they liked.

Then again, we're not much of a player in the first place. We can't play any piece without the score sheets, and we don't play that well even with the score sheets. Our sight reading is horrendous. Our timing is off. And while we might probably be able to get the melody of a song down on piano, we have to normally default to the key of G major (not even C major!). And remembering back to Aural Exams?

Doesn't stop up from causing sound pollution while we are over at our friend's places sometimes. :P

Now - as we were to score out the I Giorni, big-mouthed us happened to asked if Amiable Aix had the actual score as well. He did. We thought, okay. We'll give ourselves till Friday to attempt to score it. By Friday evening we'll have to print out the actual score because we will have the weekend and the piano to ourselves. So we'll try and see how good we are at scoring a piece. The time that we have available to us for scoring? Midnight onwards.

Progress? Monday we got most of the melody (right hand part). Tuesday the Wee Wog Wasn't Well. Wednesday was an early night for us to recover from the lack of proper sleep, but we did figure the essential left hand bits...slightly. Yesterday night we were intimidatedly surrounded by artists of all genres. And it's Friday today.

Oh well. Fail dah our project, and not like we care anymore as we've already printed out the original score now.
