'Stormy Weather' by Nadia Cripps

The first challenge on FAWM.ORG* 2024 was It’s leap year, so take a leap of musical faith. Write a melody around a large interval.

Examples: "Take On Me" (A-ha), "The Simpsons" (Danny Elfman), "Love Story" (Frances Lai), "Over The Rainbow" (Arlen/Yarburg) “E.T.: The Flying Theme” (Williams)

I composed my music about stormy weather with the melodies based on big intervals which you'll hear in both right and left hand.

*FAWM.ORG is a songwriting challenging site where songwriters are invited to create 14 songs during February. The numbers are just an idea and everyone is free to decide how many songs, lyrics, instrumentals they would like/able to create. During February some people prefer to create on their own, others to collaborate, often people create something on their own and collaborate on other works. It is very flexible and inspiring.
