30 Minute Composition #3 – D Major

This one proved to be a little more difficult in the D minor section. I was attempting to make it sound a little “medieval.” It usually comes down to the wire with these. You may notice in bar 8, it slows down, kind of boring. This is because I had about 30 seconds left, but knew I needed to finish.

As usual, let me know what you think. Jon
