- Brandon J. Begley 1984-Present
Brandon J. Begley, was born in 1984 in the City of Hamilton, Ohio. He grew up as a poor but gifted child who loved people and always made people smile. His love for classical music began at the early age of 6 when he began to play the piano. it was very sudden at first, but he began to develop a passion for music which would eventually lead little Brandon on the course that would make him a fine composer of classical music. Brandon never read music, he just developed his talent by heart, he felt the passion of music and it came out in the music that he played.
Brandon has 2 key pieces of music that are his most treasured works. The first one is The Sonata of War and Peace, which is dedicated to soldiers who have served in the past, those who are serving now, and those who will serve in the future, in memory of all who have fallen in the name of freedom. Brandon's sonata was composed and recorded in Afghanistan During the 2006-2007 deployment cycle.
Brandon is currently deployed to Iraq. After the events of September 11th, Brandon has composed a piece to honor the victims of the September Eleventh tragedy and their families. It is his way of honoring those who died needlessly at the hands of terrorists. The name of the piece is called "The September Eleventh Memorial Symphony" also known as "Begley Symphony No. 1" It is his biggest and longest composition yet at over 20 minutes. Brandon has asked to have a copy of the piece placed at each of the 3 sites where the attacks occurred as a reminder that we as Americans must never forget that dreadful day. They will always be remembered and will never be forgotten.
The music of Brandon J. Begley is a testimony to the resolve of our military forces to preserve our rights as Americans to live in freedom. We very rarely hear of classical music that portrays war and peace in the same light, but Brandon's music is one of its kind. A testimony of war, and the hope for peace. What a way to leave a legacy of honor, to those who fought to allow us the right to freely compose music, music of respect, music of honor, music of heritage. Classical Music, our generation rarely heard of it, but the dream will stay alive.
Brandon's contribution and cause will not be forgotten. He is not famous, but the music he has composed will not be forgotten. The nature of its inspirations will have a big impact on the people who listen to it. It is truly music of war and peace, and a reminder that classical music, must not be forgotten and lost in history.
"Peace and prosperity, for all generations"
(Brandon J. Begley)
"Love is the supreme essence of life, without it there can be no peace"
(Brandon J. Begley)
"Love hath no greater man than this, that he lay down his life for a friend"
(John 15:13)
