  1. The key of my original composition is C major. The notes in the C major scale are C, D, E, F, G, A, and B.

  2. The tempo of my composition is moderate, set at around 120 beats per minute, which creates a lively and engaging feel. The dynamics vary throughout, with softer passages marked pianissimo (pp) to create moments of introspection, and louder sections marked fortissimo (ff) to build excitement and energy.

  3. The mood of the music I composed is joyful and uplifting. The key of C major, known for its bright and clear sound, along with a cheerful melody that primarily uses ascending and descending patterns, contributes to this positive atmosphere. The moderate tempo keeps the energy flowing, while the varied dynamics heighten the emotional impact, shifting from gentle to powerful moments that evoke a sense of happiness and celebration.

  4. One interesting characteristic of my composition is the use of syncopation in the rhythm patterns, which adds an unexpected twist and keeps the listener engaged. The melodic shape often features a combination of short, sprightly phrases followed by longer, sustained notes, creating a sense of contrast. Additionally, the use of repeated motifs helps to create familiarity while still allowing for variation throughout the piece. The melody often begins on the tonic note (C) and weaves through the other notes of the scale, creating a dynamic and vibrant line.
