Factoid of the day

Did you know that Composition (as in music) used to be a category at the Olympics? From 1912-1948, in fact. Canada won a silver medal in 1948 for John Weinzweig's Divertimento for Flute and Strings.

Trivia, Gminor, Icon

[gmajor.livejournal.com]

Perhaps I will use the other keys when referring to Gminor in other circumstances. Maybe when she's home sick from school, she could be Gdim, or, as you say, when she turns 7, she'll be Gminor7. Of course, I'm hoping she won't be Gsuspended. We are not, however, having another child, so she will forever be Gminor. My wife, is of course, Gmajorette.

And thank you. It pleases me that it's appreciated.

I have a few variations on it, where I am playing the Gmajor chord on various instruments, but the simplicity (and educational moment) of the key signature appeals to me. I was jealous of the perfect simplicity of dramaqueen_23's Dairy Queen parody logo and wanted something equally iconic.

Perhaps when she's a teenager she'll be G aug. ;) Oh, and I figure if you should ever have a second child, which you say you won't, that child could be Minor Second. :)
