This is myself and Veronica's original piece called "Red Rose". We worked as a pair to create lyrics and a melody with inspiration given from a poem called "Valentine" Carol Ann Duffy. (2013) We worked with this poem by selecting certain lines that we thought were significant and stood out to use in our song. We also discussed what we thought the poem was initially about. We thought that the poem looked at heartbreak, yet not in the typical sense of betrayl and trust. I think that through our original song, we looked at the ups and downs and the depth of relationships and friendships.
Looking at feedback we received after sharing our piece, we received a lot of positive comments such as:- "nice piano playing and melody" "good harmonies" and "good lyrics to match the theme". However we did receive improvements that we can definitely work on, such as:- "be aware of where the mic is placed" and "lyrics were unclear at times".
I think next time taking the feedback on board, I would make sure I was able to use better quality recording material to create the best recording I could possibly make.
