Very good advice from Gav here. I'm sorry I haven't commented on your piece but I have a fairly hectic life and have to pick and choose with care what I listen to. I loathe it when people just listen to bits of my own works…"

"Hi Kjell,
This is well-composed in your classical style, with perhaps a bit of an update on the harmony, which felt to me a little bit more in the 20th century pop-classical than I usually see you venture into. I listened to about half of it and…"
"Hi Dane,
Interesting piece, perhaps the most interesting of the things I have seen you post here. It starts off reminiscent of Barber's Adagio for Strings, and then departs into other realms of sharp angles and unexpected soft harmonies.

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.…

Gav,
I'm having great difficulty trying via this CF facility to send you the PDF score, MP3 and Video of 'Spies' (now that I've finished arranging it).
Please send me your personal email address as my address book appears to have lost it...I might have more success that way.
Best,
Stephen
