"Brief Candles"

Backdated, archival post

---&---


I finally got around to updating what I know of "Brief Candles."  I had a few parts in the bass wrong, and the guitar part was in the wrong octave.

A few months ago, I did some work on the piano part.  I know that it's mostly centered around the first five notes of the E major scale, but I don't know it that well (I haven't practised it, and I'm not even sure if I ever figured out the whole melody) and I certainly don't know the accompaniment.  I didn't include it here, which is why this starts at the beginning of the first chorus and why there are a lot of empty places.

Also, I'm not sure if I have all of the bass part for the very end.  It fades out, so it's a bit hard to hear.  Though, like the piano part, I haven't done any work lately on figuring that out either.
