One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret,
Never to be told.

What does sorrow sound like?

Cold, icey, quiet, minor, wind? subtle

I think aiming for isolated sounds here, manipulated with effects like delay and reverb. Evoking loneliness, isolation, depression. Cold sounds, dark

What does joy sound like?

Elation, triumph, major, choir

Joy to me sounds big, bold, maybe orchestral? The rush of feeling when you get good news, waking up on your birthday, seeing someone you love

Written for a TV program called 'Magpie', this is an early example of visualiing the rhyme

Interesting to note what it uses to symbolize the sections.

Sorrow = rain

Joy = clown

Silver = moon

Gold = money

Secret = treasure chest

What does girl sound like?

It would be easy to lean into gender stereotypes for this: pink, gentle etc but want to try and avoid this.

Instead, possibly think of the woman in my life, sister, mother, friends, what sounds would represent them?

What does boy sound like?

Similar to girl, want to avoid gender stereotypes for boy, brash, blue etc

Focus on men in my life, father, brother, friends. What would they sound like?

What does silver sound like?

Silver to me sounds cold, but not in the same way as sorrow, cold, yet strong?

Isolated sounds again, but stronger, more stable, less manipulated?

What does gold sound like?

To me, gold would be luxurious, sweeping, orchestral, with depth. Glistening, rich

Focus on layering of sounds?

What would a secret sound like?

This one is the most abstract and up to interpretation.

To me, it could sound sudden, subtle, furtive.

Maybe implement the use of panning, ambience plugin, delays, create a sense of mania, uncertainty, unpredictability, disquiet
