Charming! VII chord can be substituted for a V chord sometimes and it would give a different edge for the melodic high points, like when the melody runs up to a high D. The progression is generally okay since it's so bouncy, but having this repeat constantly would drive me insane, personally XD I think variating a little more would help. Even having one portion have one chord off can make it sound like two distinct parts which is all you need.

Hello Christian Perrotta, What happened to this challenge? Did you abandon it? Or are you having a hard time choosing the piece to play? Hope to hear from you soon.

A Piece I wrote for band This piece is based upon the writings of the Book of Ruth in the Old Testament. This story of love starts off with Naomi saddened by the death of her husband, and then the sudden death of her sons. The lady Ruth stays by her mother-in-law‘s side as she goes to work. She then meets the handsome Boaz (measure 59) and they immediately fall in love. However, they cannot be wed because according to tradition, she must be married to the kinsman-redeemer (this is the next of kin.) Boaz makes an announcement (measure 97) in front of the council that the kinsman-redeemer shall receive the property of Emiloech (Ruth’s late husband.) He quickly accepts until he realizes that he must marry Ruth and hastily rejects. The estate of Emilech is then transferred to Boaz (measure 131) who in return claims Ruth as his wife (measure 157.) Why write about the Book of Ruth? This very small book in length seems unimportant; however, these two people are the ancestors of the great King David!
