A preview of my first song…Ever.

This is completely off-subject for this website, but I have no idea how to upload this to Facebook. For background, I will state: I have never had any musical training whatsoever. I do not play an instrument. I have only taken a music appreciation class in college. I have never had any technical music training. That said, I have sung in several choirs and I have been singing in my church’s Schola for the last year or so. This off-season, my music director offered a music theory class, which was comprised of four weeks of basic music theory. As a result of that, I wrote a small piece that has been expanded into an Agnus Dei. We have not yet practiced it. Nonetheless, it has been reduced to a MP3 based on my music director’s software program. It is the closest approximation to what I expect the actual sung product will be like and this is the earliest opportunity I have had to share it with my friends. For what it is worth, without words, and as good as a software program can do it…
Agnus Dei

We will be singing this some time this fall.

UPDATE: An initial draft of my Gloria (it still needs work in places): Gloria. Revised work in progress:Gloria v1.1
