Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - Other Features

Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - Other Features

The intro to this song (fig.10) is a short 4-bar melody. Despite it being very angular, it manages to blend in well with Verse 1 which follows immediately after. The reason being, it is actually a compound melody. After the intro, this descending line of A G F# F E then shifts to the bass and recurs throughout the first section of Verses 1, 2 and 3.

For the descending part, maybe the word chromatic can be used? I'm not sure.

Hey! Didnt use 'chromatic' cos it is only partially chromatic.. so I just used 'descending line'. Thanks for spotting that! =)
