Performance Notes for Happy Birthday
Here is how I remember the melody of Happy Birthday:
- Song starts on the 5th of the key of the song. Plays that note twice and then up a perfect 4th (Here Comes the Bride interval) and down 1/2 step
- repeat, then up a perfect 5th (Do You Hear What I Here interval and a bell like tone), done 1/2 step) then repeat again and up an octave
- The octave (8) is the fifth of a descending major triad, the I chord, then descending 1/2 step, then to whole step.
- up a major sixth. This ones sounds a little dissonant in the context of all the constant melody. Then down 1/2 step and to root of key/scale, up M2 and back - DONE
