One motif - three different arrangements in completely different styles. How can the same four notes turn into such different pieces of music? How to write music. Join Guy Michelmore as he explains how to write a piece of music, how to develop a motif into a tune. But what has all this to do with eggs? Find out here.....
And yes it was A Team not the Rockford Files! Thanks for those pointing this out

Rearranging motifs in different styles is always so interesting to me. Final Fantasy 14's soundtrack is absolutely filled with rearranged motifs, and I'm not just talking about the Prelude that's snuck into so many songs. I wish we'd see this more often in other games and other mediums.

It’s so wonderful. It is educational but it’s so much fun. Your humanity, humble moments and self deprecating humor is so uplifting. There is absolutely no one on KZfaq more fun to learn from than you ! Also constantly pulling the rug regarding video editing and narrative breaks makes me as a broadcast director amused how clever and funny you keep being every video again and again without it feeling forced or scripted. Thanks for sharing your knowledge sprinkled with joy.

I used to be able to go into one of my mates, and start singing "Gloom, despair, and agony on me" and he'd sing back "Deep dark depression excessive misery" and I'd sing "If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all" and he'd refrain back "Gloom despair and agony on me". And he'd say darn your hide, now I'm going to be listening to that in my head for hours. Stuck back in that old Hee Haw TV show. Much like Guy is stuck humming the Rockford Files theme.
