"Smooth Operation"

Backdated, archival post

---&---

I listened to Journey two days ago, and the glockenspiel (I think it's glockenspiel) part that doubles some of the vocal lines (with some variation in rhythm) in "Smooth Operation" sounded like it would be pretty easy to figure out, so I did that.  Because I know that, I think the song is either in Bb major or G minor.

The part is entirely quarter notes (where the vocals have a more complex rhythm), so I notated it too:

I used the (fake) glockenspiel setting on my keyboard, which I've used before and am always dissatisfied with.  I'd like to get an actual glockenspiel at some point, but getting a flute is my top priority right now.
