Hello all,I think it is harder to write slow music than fast music. Certainly the emphasis in slow music is very different than in fast music. Since every sound is more to the front and individually…Continue

Hello colleagues,I love spy-movie music! This piece has a very specific origin, from the original Star Trek series. There’s an episode where the Enterprise crew travels back in time to the 1960s to…Continue

To all members - Post a favorite movie theme here, and say why you like it!Here's one from me, the theme of the movie Cross Creek, by Leonard Rosenman. It's all lovely, but see if you agree with me that you didn't see the second section coming, but somehow he makes it fit. He is most famous for writing the theme music to the 60s sci-fi, The Fantastic Voyage. I tried to get in touch with him a number of years ago to tell him how much I thought of his music, and I tracked him down to a retired…See More

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.…

Hi Gav, I've recently wanted to get back onto this site, after a 5-year hiatus, but I'm having trouble navigating, such as, when I post an mp3 it doesn't play. Also, I want to "friend" you but I can't find where to do that. Is there some place that outlines how to navigate, or is there another problem with my being gone for so long?
