About Me
This song is in the key of G Major. It starts with an anacrusis.
The phrase starts from bar 1 - 9 and it repeats itself. It comprises of 2 short phrases and one long phrase (marked in blue).
The harmony function is mainly T - PD - D -T - PD - D - T. The song moves in stepwise descent using passing and neighbouring tones. The chords are mainly arpeggiated.
The Pre-dominant expansion consists of several chords - iii, vi 07 and iii, IV. Then it goes to Tonic for a short while ( bar 7)before going into PD expansion again.
The composer uses a passing chord (F) in bar 10 before going into dominant. It adds an interesting tonal progression in the PD expansion.
The composer creates a prolonged ending by expanding the Tonic chord. (I - IV - I)
