It incorporates the life and times of Alex For a more full explanation... https://2echild.blogspot.com/2018/12/alex-musical-composition-of-alexs-life.html I had incorporated the theme of an earlier composition titled 'Ahchan'... because Ahchan is Alex's nickname. While it is a simple song... it tells the story of my son. I had fun with this one. My next composition... I shall write for my wife.

AHCHAN - My First Completed Composition

Image
In the future... I will put a recording of my compositions. I will add this one here later. I had ordered some recording equipment... and I will have to practice this song... so... it may take a while before I am all set up. Ahchan is my son's nickname. We used it from shortly after he was born. I had written this song with the vision of my son when he was a toddler. I was working on my mother's song... but... it is far more complicated. I have finished the melody... but I still must put in the harmony and bass lines. So... last night... I had this tune in my head... and I completed this song in a few hours. It is a light hearted song which I envision toddlers would like... and may even dance to. It is short...simple...and playful. I kept it this way as toddlers have a short attention span  :) I am also looking forwards to one day... playing this for my grandchildren. Anyway... here it is. ...
