"Well done Gavin, I like that you are developing your own style especially rhythmically. It's nice to hear a piece that doesn't immediately remind me of other pieces. This piece is programmatic to my ear but it could be any…"
" Hi Rick, a pleasant sounding 70s-ish pop tune. You hit all the correct chords at the correct moments. I did feel that it went on a bit long for song that doesn't seem to vary that much in overall tone or volume. As a suggestion, I think a…"
"Hi Stephen,
I gave it four listenings over the past couple of days. Overall, an interesting work which I felt had one major drawback, which I would characterize as "lack of forward momentum." The slow tempo, combined with the spaces in…"

"This is wonderful. Lovely (fun) main theme - /development expands on the triplet motive then the main returns with a tasty ending. Really like your rhythmic play and use of dynamics. The notation playback sound is quite good (compared to some…"

A delightful piano composition - Peacherine Rag
Posted on December 9, 2014 at 12:47am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I started composing because of the music in the movie "The Sting" - the ragtime of Scott Joplin. His music is not only great sounding, but a fun fit fit for the fingers - physically enjoyable to play. Here's a piece which was not in The Sting, but which is a delightful example of his work - about 3 minutes long -

Another composer has posted recently on the forum about a piece he wrote inspired by French music which is about fountains. I won’t post this on his thread, which is about his composition, but thought you might enjoy it - ragtime composers liked to compose on this theme too, and one of my favorites in this genre is a piece written by a guy named Robert Hampton called “Cataract Rag.” (Cataract is a synonym for Waterfall). The middle section (starting at about 1:50) particularly is delightful…

Hi all,
Joe Wall is a Baltimore composer who does interesting things. I once got to see a multimedia presentation of this piece by him, about how, as a small child, he mused on the satellite program. I've never forgotten it. I find it meditative and hypnotic. I've been looking for it for years online and finally found it. The last few words spoken I particularly find affecting. Hope you like it.…
