Group Performance Blog

1. Song Choice
 Our song of choice is Say You Won't Let Go by James Arthur, this song is one of our three options that would be suitable for a performance group of three.

2. Person working with
 I will be working on the vocal, Mathyis will work on the piano and Josiah will be on the guitar tabs.

3. Meaning and Composers 
Arthur personally said that "it literally relates to a lot of people as it tells a story." he also said, "The inspiration was to look at someone's life and the path through it with a partner. Some of it is personal and some of it is inspired by people around me as well as imagining what life is in the other peoples' relationships."

The song was written by James Arthur himself, along with Neil Ormandy and Steve Solomon.

- We had a few conflicts with our choice of song, I am a vocalist who is struggling with the lower notes. Arthur's song is a bit low for my range and I think trying to adjust to the song's pitch would ruin the song overall. The two have decided to transpose the range higher that would fit for my range.
- For this week, I want us to have progress on the instrumental of the song in terms of transposing it. It's a bit difficult for Mathyis but we will work hard on that.

  1. Hey Francine! I am really digging this song choice. I really like the way you are working together as a group and figuring out how to overcome the difficulties in this song! Transposing is a big job, I am super impressed you are figuring this out? Could you try ad-libing the melody in the original key?
