...comment fail.

lol well thank you for your compliment and for listening to my music.

yeah... sorry it was so short but i was on my ps3 at the time.

a more full and meaningful comment... it gets across the bird theme splendidly, and i always did have an appreciation for gregorian chant, though i can't yet write in it.

You know, I'm very sure that even if you hadn't written that this piece was about birds, I would have assumed it was anyway!
How old is this ancient Gregorian chant style, must be much more ancient than what I'm used to, I have heard of positive organs that always had fifths , well, you've managed to give the feel of a choir as well as that of birds, if I ever can I shall have to come listen to you play in vivo.
They are all too beautiful! Both these preludes and your improvisations.

Gregorian chant is one of the most ancient musics we know of today, at least one of the oldest notated music. At first it was a single line of music. The first form of harmony after that was a parallel 5th so you would have a melody that goes C,D,E, and above that a G,A,B running parallel to it. What i have done to make this a contemporary piece based on ancient church music was to add yet another 1 or 2 5ths above, so the chords are C,G,D (Sometimes an A also), to D,A,E,(B), to E,B,F#,(C#) and so on (You should try some of these chords on your organ if you have time). That goes on with the pedal and the left hand while the melody is played with the right hand. The right hand is a completely different form of tonality. A lot of times I will use a pentatonic scale in ways similar to Native American Indian music, which is part of my culture. The combination of these two modes is what gives the final product in these three organ preludes.

Didn't know that they did that, added an organum, that is. Though I know they developed that style during that time, when you said ancient I thought you meant Gregorian chants that were even older than the ones I think of. I mean plainchant is already pretty ancient by nature (I think) .
Adding fifths, I think I've done that more than a few times (but I haven't gone any further than just playing around). Well, it's very interesting to read how you make your things! I can't wait to start learning music formally, I've recently (a month or so back) received a few books on the rules of melody writing, harmony, more advanced counterpoint, the homophonic forms of music, contrapuntal forms, there's two more, but they're exptensions, can't wait to get started (and they're all practically a hundred years old, I like those books because they don't leave much space for "individuality", hurrah!)! I mean I can't keep writing things only having studied two part counterpoint formally, everything else is just, ummm... inferred by reading short snippets of things and stuff of the sort.

Your music (organ especially) is full of wonderful ideas on how to use old techniques in a new way, I'll have to follow, after I learn the old techniques (can't break the rules if you don't know them, right?)
