Writing

Glacier

Prose

Writing lyrics is a process involving the playing of arpeggios on a keyboard (or other instrument, such as a guitar) to obtain phrasing from prose.

Patterns

Patterns are repeated with subtle variations, to accommodate vocal rendering as a melody, until a suitable manner in which something may be sung, is attained. The initial melody is used to construct chords and rhythms, until such time as a lyric is isolated.

Melody

Once a melody is established, appropriate chords must be found, for accompaniment but it's not until a vocal performance is actually recorded, or synthesised, that alternate ways of singing something may be ascertained, and new chords and melodies can be written.


Modes

Often a Composer must demonstrate a melody, line by line or as a verse, which during the early stages of song writing, will involve using tones from different musical modes, since a mode only offers tonality, within a single musical key.

Scales

The scale used to create an initial melody, may not be the same as what is used during later stages of composition, since the notes chosen will use differing numbers of intervals depending on the instrument.


Subtitling

Creating subtitles requires knowing at what time a vocal line starts and when it finishes so that software (or a browser) can display text at the scheduled moment, however the rendering of vocal lines may intersect one another, so the start time of each new part must be accurate.

Phrasing

While lyrics may be displayed as excerpts, the form in which something may be read as poetry (or prose), may be different to how something can be sung, as a melodic phrase.
