| May 29, 2021 at 7:09 | comment | added | Ruslan | @Tetsujin well, this doesn't sound too much strange to me (though I'm not musically educated, so maybe this is the reason). Maybe very slightly odd, but definitely doesn't remind me of the passage quoted in the OP. | |
| May 29, 2021 at 6:42 | comment | added | Tetsujin | OK, I've put it up on Soundcloud, Called Lullabye-Bye - I might not leave it there long, as It's not the best thing I ever did, so grab it while it's… lukewarm ;) soundcloud.com/graham-lee-15/lullabye-bye | |

| May 28, 2021 at 20:00 | comment | added | Ruslan | @Tetsujin I'm interested in hearing it. | |

| May 28, 2021 at 17:12 | comment | added | Todd Wilcox | I was reading the quote and thinking is really not well written, and only then noticed it was fanfic, not Rowling herself. So many things here. First, this seems like an identification question and we don’t do that here. Second, there can’t really be a pitch that does not exist in any key at all, and what a “key” is can be fluid. Third, minimalism and atonality have definitely led to music that would be similar to what is sort of described here. Also setting up expectations and violating them is often exciting for listeners, not annoying. | |
| May 28, 2021 at 17:06 | comment | added | Tetsujin | Les Dawson springs to mind ;) I once did a lullaby type piece where each iteration got slightly more odd, strange voice-leading, note clashes, major meets minor, in a kind of 'something's going to jump out & bite soon' kind of way, though everything is still technically just about 'in tune'. [I'll Soundcloud it if anyone's interested. It's only a demo, so 'keyboard strings' etc] I can't claim it's the 'best thing I ever did' so it never got published anywhere. | |

This sounds astonishingly awful, because you get a nice bright context and expectations but then keep getting smashed about the head subdominants as diminished chords, and the dominant resolutions all go in completely the wrong direction. | |
