This is your third composition assignment. In the last two compositions, you used D Major. This piece will be composed in D minor.

This composition should be written using music composition software. If you do not already have Finale Notepad, try using Noteflight.com, a new online composition program.
  • The title should be Footsteps on the Stairs
