Hello! It's Sakiko😃
The sheet music『Akatsuki』from the album "Sakiko Masuda Piano Solo" is now available on Piascore !!
This song is one of the five piano pieces "Hitohi".
I wondered if I should write the chord name or not.
After all, I write down the scale name instead of the chord.
Because I composed this song from the idea of mode.
But you can see that Mixolydian means dominant 7th chord and Aeolian means minor 7th chord!!
The time 5/8 and 6/8 are mixed, but I think it's surprisingly easy to listen, so please check it out 🎶

Song Analysis
Song Form
a, a' b, a''
The rehearsal letters are A, B, C, D.
A = a
The time is almost 5/8.
It's the intro in measures 1 - 4. The pattern is that D Mixolydian and D Aeolian repeated, going back and forth between major and minor, then D Mixolydian♭13 melody comes in.
B = a'
a' is almost the same as a.
Modulate to subdominant key G Mixolydian from measure 23.
section b (C)
The time is 6/8.
Measures 29 - 36 are key F Mixolydian and the next measures 37 - 44 modulate to dominant key C Mixolydian.
I've only transposed the first 8 bars to the next 8bars.
section a'' (D)
I composed this section by transposing a' (B) a perfect fifth up.
The last key is back to the same D Mixolydian as the top of the song.
I'm used to many techniques, but the melody, mode, and chord progression are similar to other sections.
I think that's the best way to compose the song easier to hear.
