Hello, as a creator in the music field, I would like to express my personal views briefly here.
First of all, any art comes from life, and so does music! This is why many times when people encounter setbacks, listening to some positive songs will make people become more motivated and have less negative energy! Because the author of the lyrics must have created some inspiring lyrics in line with the theme. Simply put, it is brainwashing, haha! Of course, melody is also very important, and catchy melody is the foundation for a song to be heard continuously.
Secondly, you can select a lyric to brew emotions, and associate it with your own experience and some life experiences according to the content of the lyrics. Although this is not mechanical, life is indispensable for a songwriter. If you want to write a children's song, it is unthinkable if the author does not have a childlike innocence. Of course, this is a creative process to sublimate the experience of real life into an artistic image, otherwise even writing a work will not be touching.
Finally, although many musicians and composers don't know much about music theory and some don't even read music. Reading music with good knowledge can help you use your creativity to develop your own style. Even if you can play or surprise your ears.
This is my opinion. I hope I can help you, and I hope you will like my sharing. Thank you!
Hello, as a creator in the music field, now I would like to express my personal views. I think there are the following processes in creating music:
1. Create a tone. Before you start writing a song, you need to have the basic idea of the song. The tone should be the essence of the song, and everything you write is based on this.
● Melody is the main line of music and is usually considered as a "singing" part. You can easily write the lyrics of this tune.
● Chords A series of chords can give you an overall feeling of the whole song. If you don't have a good idea of melody or are in trouble, this is another good way to start writing this song.
2.? Create a chorus or an impromptu repetition. A chorus is an easy-to-remember line or lines of lyrics in a song. Think of it as a part stuck in your mind. This catchy tune and lyrics can catch the attention of the audience and make it easy for people to remember the song. Impromptu repetition plays the same role: it is a remarkable and unforgettable music segment that is different from melody.
3.? Understand the structure of popular songs. If you want to write songs, you should understand the structure or form of the basic songs that dominate pop music. That is, there is a creative model. It can make you closer to the audience's preferences. A song is too marginalized and most people may not like it, even if it is great. AAA: This title often refers to those types of songs with the same music but different lyrics. Although it is rare in mainstream music, it is still easy to find in other places. The best example of this song structure is "Amazing Grace", a common traditional American song.
● AABA: It is considered as the most common pop music form at present. The AABA structure starts with two similar chapters, then there is a break (the "B" in the formula), and then it turns to another chapter. There are many examples here, but the best example is "Something" by The Beatles.
● AABABA is the most common variant in the whole structure. ABAB is another variant but less common. AACD (this is a gradual and non-repetitive form).
● main song-chorus: in this form, the main song is second to the chorus, and the chorus is often repeated. The best example of this form is "All You Need is Love" by The Beatles.
① There are two variant forms: simple form and contrast form. In the form of contrast, the main song music is different from the chorus music; In a simple form, it is obvious that the main song music is the same as the chorus music.
② There is another variation called chorus-chorus-cohesion, which will add two or more cohesive parts between chorus, which are generally shorter than the main song and usually appear when the tune and tempo change.
4.? Understand the structure of classical music. Understanding classical music forms is very beneficial to creation, which can be used to create new song forms or use it as a basis to build more music fragments.
● The standard form is a musical form in which the imitated and repeated melody begins to be played after the main melody begins. It uses several levels to create its unique effect through "sound" echo. In the standard form, all the voices are connected, which is called a round. Examples of such songs are "Row, Row, Row Your Boat".
● The sonata begins with the theme, and then there will be a development part, which is the discussion of the theme. The last part is called the reproduction part, and in this part, it returns to the theme (usually with a change of tone) and gives people a sense of ending.
