Prompt

Turn the following ideas into a sheet-music ready MIDI file with complete, complex, professional melodic lines and human-sounding composition. Do not actually create a MIDI file, just write a Python script that create the MIDI file using your writing. Here are the ideas: **Saxophone Quartet Piece Ideas/Notes** Central Theme: three movements, inspired by VGM, modern pop, and Broadway The biggest challenge is going to be to capture the lushness of the themes with only four voices. Measures are indicated with vertical bars (\| Chord Symbol \|). If there are two chords in a measure, each chord's value is two beats. If there are four chords in a measure each chord's value is one beat. **Movement I: Encounter\! At the Neon Crossroads** This movement will be in a fast video game music style. Chord progression and main ideas are as follows: Tempo: 160 bpm \| Time Signature: 4/4 Key: Concert D Minor/F Major Length: \~64 bars **Intro** Arrange with rapid arpeggios in the Alto and Tenor to simulate 8-bit chiptune textures, while Bari lays down a punchy bassline and Soprano plays a frantic motif. 1-4: \| Dm \| Bbmaj7 \| Gm7 \| A7sus4 A7 \| 5-8: \| Dm \| Bbmaj7 \| Gm7 \| Em7b5 \| A7 B°7 A7/C\# Dm \| **Section A: Toby Fox Inspired** Think "Bonetrousle" or "Spider Dance." Heavy staccato on beats 2 and 4 in the inner voices. Bars 9-12: \| Dm \| Dm/C \| Bbmaj7 \| A7 \| Bars 13-16: \| Gm7 \| C7 \| Fmaj7 \| Bbmaj7 A7 Ab7 G7 \| Bars 17-20: \| Dm \| Dm/C \| Bbmaj7 \| B°7 \| Bars 21-24: \| Dm/A \| Bb7 \| Gm7 \| A7 Bb B°7 C7 \| **Section B: "Royal Road" Progression (More Pokemon Inspired)** Legato, soaring melody in the Soprano and Alto in octaves or harmony. Bars 25-28: \| Bbmaj7 \| C7 \| Am7 \| Dm7 \| Bars 29-32: \| Gm7 \| C7 \| Fmaj7 \| Cm7 F7 F7/A Bb \| Bars 33-36: \| Bbmaj7 \| B°7 \| F/C \| D7 \| Bars 37-40: \| Gm7 \| Bbm6 \| F/C D7 \| Gm7 F/A Bbm6 C7 \| **Section C: Boss Phase** Unstable, tense, building energy. Bari Sax plays relentless eighth-note pedal tones on A. Bars 41-44: \| Bbmaj7/A \| Gm7/A \| Dm/A \| A7 \| Bars 45-46: \| Bbmaj7 \| Gm7 \| Bars 47–48 : \| Dm E°7 Dm/F Gm7 \| Ab°7 Dm/A Bb7 A7 \| **Section A': Final Climax** Bars 49-52: \| Dm \| C \| Bbmaj7 \| A7 \| Bars 53-56: \| Gm7 \| A7 \| Dm C \| Bbmaj7 \| Bars 57-60: \| Gm7 \| Em7b5 \| Dm/A Bb7 \| Gm7 A7 Bb C7 \| Bars 61-64 (The Finale): \| Bb \| C \| Dm \| Bb C A7/C\# Dm \| (Hard staccato hit on beat 4 of bar 64\) **Movement II: Resting in the Rain** This movement is in the style of a slow modern pop ballad (Finneas/Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Adele, Tate McRae, etc.). Tempo: 68 bpm (Rubato Feel) \| Time Signature: 4/4 Key: Concert Eb Major Length: \~48 bars **Intro: Lonely** Start without the Baritone Sax. Let Tenor play the bass notes for a fragile, airy sound. Bars 1-4: \| Eb(add9) \| Gm7 \| Abmaj7 \| Abm6 \| *(Voicing Eb(add9): Eb–G–Bb–F)* **Verse 1: Intimate Storytelling** Solo Alto Sax carries the melody; the other three play warm, sustained pad-like chords. Heavy use of slash chords creates a smooth, descending pop bassline in the Bari. Bars 5-8: \| Eb \| Bb/D \| Cm7 \| Abmaj7 \| Bars 9-11: \| Eb/G \| Fm7 \| Ab/Bb \| *(Ab/Bb \= Bb–Ab–C–Eb, a lush 4-note Bb9sus4)* Bar 12 (Quarter-Note Breathing Cadence): \| Bb7 Cm7 Bb/D Eb \| Bars 13-16: Bars 13–16: \| Eb \| G7 \| Cm7 \| Am7b5 \| (G7 and Am7b5 add that modern pop melancholy) Bars 17–20: \| Abmaj7 \| Gm7 Cm7 \| Fm7 \| Fm7 Eb/G Ab Bb7sus4 \| **Chorus: Heartbreak Swell** Full quartet at forte. Soprano takes the lead in its upper register. The I – III7 – vi – iv progression is the emotional core. Bars 21–24: \| Eb(add9) \| G7 \| Cm7 \| Abm6 \| Bars 25–28: \| Eb/Bb \| B°7 \| Cm7 Bb \| Abmaj7 Gm7 Fm7 Eb/G \| Bars 29-32: \| Abmaj7 \| Abm6 \| Eb/Bb Cm7 \| Fm7 Eb/G Abm6 Bb7 \| **Bridge: Overwhelmingly Emotional** Polyphonic weaving—all four saxes have moving lines that form these chords. Bars 33–36: \| Cm7 \| Gm/Bb \| Abmaj7 \| Eb/G \| Bars 37–38: \| Fm7 \| F\#°7 \| Bars 37–38: \| Fm7 \| F\#°7 \| Bars 39–40 (2-Bar Quarter-Note Dynamic Swell): \| Eb/G Ab A°7 Eb/Bb \| Cm7 F7/A Abm6 Bb7 \| (Massive crescendo to a sudden drop) **Outro: Fading Embers** Drop immediately to pianissimo. Subtone in the Tenor and Bari. Bars 41–44: \| Eb(add9) \| G7(\#5) \| Cm7 \| Abm(maj7) \| (Abm(maj7) \= Ab–Cb–Eb–G, deeply cinematic) Bars 45–48: \| Eb/Bb \| Bb7sus4 \| Abmaj7 \| Eb(add9) \| (Hold final chord, let the 9th hang in the air) **Movement III: The Curtain Rises\!** This movement is a medium-fast fusion of Pop, VGM, and powerful Broadway (Pasek & Paul, Wicked, and Final Fantasy). Tempo: 120 bpm (anthemic and driving) \| Time Signature: 4/4 Key: Concert G Minor → Bb Major → C Major (\~72 Bars Total) **Intro: Broadway Vamp** Think "Waving Through a Window" or "Defying Gravity." Bari and Tenor play a driving, syncopated eighth-note pulse; Alto and Soprano enter with rhythmic stabs. Bars 1–4: \| Gm(add9) \| Gm/F \| Ebmaj7 \| D7sus4 D7 \| Bars 5-8: \| Gm(add9) \| Gm/F \| Cm7 \| D7sus4 D7 D7/F\# Gm \| **Verse: Villain's Monologue** Theatrical and dramatic. Soprano and Tenor trade melodic phrases like a Broadway duet. Bars 9–12: \| Gm \| Dm/F \| Ebmaj7 \| D7 \| Bars 13–16: \| Cm7 \| Gm/Bb \| A7 \| D7 Eb E°7 D7/F\# \| Bars 17-20: \| Gm \| F \| Ebmaj7 \| Bb/D \| Bars 21-24: \| Cm7 \| Cm7/Bb \| Am7b5 \| D7 \| **Prechorus: Gathering the Party** Shifting toward the relative Major (Bb). The harmonic rhythm speeds up to build hype. Bars 25–28: \| Ebmaj7 \| Bb/D \| Cm7 \| Gm \| Bars 29–30: \| Abmaj7 \| Eb/G \| (Abmaj7 is the heroic bVII borrowed chord) Bars 31–32 (2-Bar Quarter-Note Broadway Climb): \| Cm7 Dm7 Ebmaj7 E°7 \| F7sus4 F7 Eb/G F/A \| **Chorus 1: The Showstopper Belt** Pure Broadway/Pop euphoria in Bb Major. Soprano and Alto play the "belt" melody harmonized in thirds. Bars 33–36: \| Bb(add9) \| D7/A \| Gm7 \| Fm7 Bb7 \| Bars 37-40: \| Ebmaj7 \| Ebm6 \| Bb/F G7 \| Cm7 Bb/D Ebmaj7 F7 \| Bars 41-44: \| Bb(add9) \| D7 \| Gm7 \| Gm7/F \| Bars 45–47: \| Cm7 \| Eb/F \| Gm7 C7 \| (Deceptive resolution into bar 47\) Bar 48 : \| Cm7 Bb/D Eb F7 \| **Bridge: Final Boss Phase 2** Video game chaos returns\! Rapid chromatic mediants and angular rhythms before setting up a massive Broadway key change. Bars 49–52: \| Gm \| Ebm \| Bb/F \| F\#°7 \| (Gm to Ebm is a dark cinematic shift) Bars 53–54: \| Gm7 \| Abmaj7 \| Bars 55–56 (Modulation Preparation \- Quarter Notes): \| Dm7 Eb Em7b5 F7 \| G7sus4 G7 G7/B C \| (Pivots aggressively up a whole step to C Major\!) **Grand Final Chorus: The Encore Modulation** *Key of Concert C Major (A Major for Eb saxes, D Major for Bb saxes—bright, ringing, and victorious).* Bars 57–60: \| C(add9) \| E7/B \| Am7 \| Gm7 C7 \| Bars 61–64: \| Fmaj7 \| Fm6 \| C/G A7 \| Dm7 C/E Fmaj7 G7 \| Bars 65–68: \| Am7 \| G/B \| C \| F\#m7b5 Fm6 \| (Classic Broadway delayed resolution) **Short Outro: Curtain Call** Bars 69–70 (2-Bar Quarter-Note Cascade): \| C/G A7 Dm7 G7 \| Em7 Am7 Abmaj7 Bb7 \| Bars 71–72: \| C(add9) \| C \| (Bar 71 is a massive held chord; Bar 72 is a synchronized, punchy quarter-note hit on Beat 1).
