Finished!!!
It has been quite the journey. I am fairly pleased with most of the pieces I have written over the past 30 days. I am particularly fond of these ten: 23, 19, 16, 15, 14, 11, 9, 7, 5, 2 ...although its kind of like choosing your favorite offspring --- it really can't be done! If there is a standout in your opinion, please let me know.
At some point in the near future I hope record corresponding audio files for each. I intend to compile and post them on my web site.
This final piece in my 30 day song-writing challenge uses a phrygian blues progression as the improvised bridge within a 32-bar, AABA tune. I'm calling it "Heart of Darkness". Nothing says dark quite like the phrygian mode. Here it is:

Maybe it's just a coincidence, or maybe I really do need to "lighten up". I may start by taking a break from self-imposed composition deadlines. I've certainly got enough real ones.
Thanks for joining me on this ride!
