Also - We are starting to think about gathering together in real life! James Semple is discussing the first gathering of us in London. A small, informal thing at first, and maybe a larger get together for more Euoropean composers later in the year:

Welcome to the Composers' Forum, an online community of working professional and aspiring composers and songwriters. We hope you enjoy these forums and blogs and become active in our community.

This is a great place to talk with composers just like you. You can see, hear, and communicate with composers of many different styles. Ask them what equipment they use, or how they feel about the mixolydian mode!

This is a private forum that welcomes any composer to join. But we moderate closely to keep it on topic and useful for composers. We reserve the right to delete or ban posts, comments, or members.

Our community is one of peers socializing and not a place of advertising and job hunting. Nor is it a 'myspace' with a race to spam as many people as possible to get clicks on your page.

Please respect our members by not posting advertisements for yourself or products or sites you support, and please refrain from posting graphics on other members blogs/pages. We also have zero tolerance for piracy, and any music posted or any intellectual property that is found to not be legal will be banned.

Get active and comment on other member's pages, make a blog post about your music, post in the forums. We are glad you are here!

Thanks,

The Management

Composers' Forum Gathering!

We are starting to think about getting together in real life! Jame Semple is working on a gathering in London. Just an informal hangout for whoever can come - in London. And maybe a more formal one later in the year, that might be worth flying to London for. Just to meet each other and talk about composing!

We'll start thinking about other places to meet. Do you want to help host a gathering in a big city near you? Let's talk about it!

If this is still an issue for you, and you haven't already started transcribing, here's how you can save time. The PlanetZappa web site indicates that there is indeed a score available for Strictly Genteel. Scroll down this page: http://www.planetz
