I always wondered how composers do it.

Each song the chords construct the notes in time.

When disciplined, a change of tone feels fine.

The make the music flow quite nicely through it.

​

To boost the chance of topping music charts

One climbs the fifths to make a melody

That makes us sing with memorability,

Creating songs with repetitious art.

​

I like to hear the tune variety

Accompanied by lyrics wisely made

Resulting in amazing music played

With natural predictablility.

​

With music theory hidden in one's song

Arranged with harmony, one can't go wrong.

Footnote: I wrote this unique Stellar sonnet after discovering the clue that most music composers use when writing music. When one listens to a song that uses the circle of fifths, movements seem natural and predictable to the ear. It is amazing how that works. Well known songs that use the circle of fifths...

• Jerry Lee Lewis- Great Balls Of Fire.

• Sam & Dave- Soul Man.

• The Rascals- Good Lovin'

• Chuck Berry- Johnny Be Good.

• Roy Orbison- Pretty Woman.

• Spiral Staircase- More Today Than Yesterday.

• Spencer Davis Group- Gimme Some Lovin'

• Georgia Satellites- Keep Your Hands To Yourself.
