Prompt
Original bossa nova in F major at 140 BPM, straight eighths: flute lead, nylon-string guitar comping a two-bar bossa pattern with anticipations, soft piano shells, acoustic bass playing root-fifth dotted-quarter figures, and drums with cross-stick clave, closed hi-hat eighths and a light kick. Form: 4-bar intro, a 24-bar head (A B A'), a 16-bar written flute solo over ride cymbal, an 8-bar piano solo in octaves, the head out, and a 4-bar coda ending on F6. Changes: A = Fmaj7 | Bb7 | Am7 | D7 | Gm7 | C7 | Fmaj7 | Gm7 C7; B = Ebmaj7 | Ab7 | Dbmaj7 | Gm7b5 C7 | Am7 | D7 | Gm7 | C7; coda Gm7 | C7 | Dbmaj7 | F6. Lyrical, syncopated melody with long held notes. The dynamic arc builds through the flute solo, eases off for the piano solo, and tapers in the coda. No borrowed melodies.
