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?
