Yesterday, I made a video recording of a song that I composed last year. The name of the song is "GO TO SCHOOL". It was composed when my older son just started prep. A few months before this, I wrote a nursery rhyme for my younger son's birthday. As a father, I know I should love the two boys equally, without favoring one over the other. To prove that I loved the older brother too, I felt I had to compose a piece of music for him.
The melody is relatively fast. There are notes moving up and down with large gaps, as if the kids are bouncing and jumping while going to school. They sometimes are running and become excited when they reach school and greet their teachers and friends. The music is composed in upbeat rhythms, indicating the energy of young children.
