Chorus
Daffodils are a sure sign that spring has arrived and are an iconic symbol. Their bright yellow blooms represent Echo, who fell for Narcissus. Daffodils have long been prized as gifts.
Chorus is an ensemble sound created by multiple instruments or voices coming together in concert, like in a choir or string orchestra. Here we use an artificial chorus effect modeled after the “unison” chorus function found on older synthesizers; try starting off with low Delay settings before increasing Feedback until metallic resonances can be heard in your environment.
Verse 1
This poem vividly portrays the beauty of daffodils with its fresh and bright imagery. The rhythmic meter makes memorization easier; try stretching out any words like clouds and hills or crowd and trees for added effect.
Wordsworth frequently employed reverse personification in his poetry to portray daffodils as people, with each bloom acting like an individual dancer in an exuberant dance that sends the message that we can find pleasure even in solitude. This technique served both to highlight his message as well as convey it more vividly.
Verse 2
Seven Daffodils is a classic children’s nursery rhyme. Easy to learn and adaptable for singing at any speed, this tune also serves as an effective way to practice D major key.
D major is an increasingly popular key for songs and ranks 9th on the Theorytab database for melodic complexity and chord-melody tension. Students stand in a circle holding hands up in “windows”. One student acts as “It” (optionally holding fake daffodils or handkerchief) as the rest weave in and out of them to form “windows.”

Verse 4
This piece features an irresistibly catchy snare-edge beat, as the bass performs gymnastic feats and the keys add rumble-stip chords. There is an amazing interlude in 3/4 time where we hear bass drop in 7/4 rhythm before returning to alternate bars of 4/4 and 3/4 for a strong finish.
This song is inspired by William Wordsworth’s poem “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”, published in his Poems, in Two Volumes (1794) as his inaugural publication.
Verse 5
This song is composed in D major, according to Theorytab’s database it is the ninth most common major key and 16th overall. D major chords are often employed when writing melodies or harmonies using diatonic seven-note scale notes; additionally D major is an open chord which means additional notes may be added without incurring new pitch classes; creating tension in melodies by adding additional color notes without creating new pitch classes and thus adding color without adding pitch classes altogether.
Verse 6
Students form a circle, holding their hands up high to form “windows” while two students serve as “It.” Once it is time for “It” to return the fake daffodils, children pass them back off to each other. This energetic game for elementary students provides plenty of fun!
Chords consisting of more than 13ths are constructed by using notes outside the diatonic seven-note scale; such chords are known as chromatically altered chords.
Verse 7
D Major is a widely utilized key for many songs. According to Theorytab, D Major ranks 9th for Chord-Melody Complexity and Average Chord-Melody Tension among Major keys.
The chorus starts off with an engaging diatonic IV I II VI chord progression in G Major before transitioning to non-diatonic chords Aadd9/C#.
This song provides an excellent example of using chromatically altered chords to add tension without changing pitch classes.
