Version V1.6.1
Version V1.6.1 was limited to the melody line, which was re-written on 24/07/2012 following feedback from helpers who reviewed version V1.5 of the music score. Unlike the bridge and chorus, which were composed from scratch, the verse melody had evolved organically from numerous experiments in musical style and lyrical rhythms. The time had come to put the mutated verse melody line out of its misery! In doing so, guitars and cello accompaniment were added and Walter laid down a vocal of the melody line to test the practicality of singing the piece. The outcome of this test led to some adjustment of notes and key register (changed to G major) to bring the notes more comfortably within range.
