"An interesting article, thanks Jon! Surprised they do not mention Score Exchange. That seems to be used by a lot of people I know, but perhaps it's not as big as I thought."

"Hi John.
I can see that this has been a labour of love for you. Like the choice of material.
One thing I have done with settings is not to be worried about breaking up the structure of the lines.

Five songs from A E Housman for tenor and pianoVersion of 15 September 2020.The sound file was generated with software using synth choral ah voices as a demo, even though the vocal is supposed to be solo.Audio file and score display available at MuseScore Five songs from A E Housman…See More
"Thanks for the comment -- I'll keep your advice in mind for any possible future versions."
"Unusual and quite beautiful setting of the well-known hymn, very nice. I have only one real criticism, the 8th notes in the piano in bars 32-33 came out of nowhere and did not go anywhere. I quite liked the descending triplets later on, though. Of…"
Veni, veni Emanuel for Alto and Baritone single voices, Viola, and Piano
Veni, veni Emanuel for Alto and Baritone single voices, Viola, and PianoAn arrangement for small ensemble of a very old hymn, technically an Advent hymn but often performed as a Christmas carol.The audio file was created with software as a demo, using choral ah for the vocals, even though the voices are supposed to be single.Comments welcome. I've paid a lot of attention…See More
"Very enjoyable to listen to -- it reminds me of Chopin, though the melodic line is more straightforward than his usually are. Another Chopinesque thing is that it has at least to me a certain Eastern European feeling, maybe because of the…"
"So is the September fund drive effective now? I haven't seen it announced with a specific posting. Maybe there should be one."

"Hmm ... I haven't had those problems before, but I just tried the link I posted above and Get Started gets no response from me either. Maybe there is a temporary problem there.

"Thanks for the comment. I thought it should be slow because of the mood of the poem, but if it ever gets performed I can advise the performers to try a slightly quicker tempo."
"Like Michael I'm making a connection with another tune called The Wild Rover. No connection whatsoever to this tune. If you're curious it can be found here. I've played and sang this one in pubs before the virus came along.

"I wanted to like this more but I was reminded of the theme from the buccaneers an old tv series with “I’ll go no more a roving with you fair maid”.
It just needed to be more lively for a sea shanty."

Articles from New Music USA

One of the music sites I look at sometimes is the well-established New Music USA.
In this blog post I'll mention two recent articles from that site which composers may find interesting.
JULIANA HALL: PULLED INTO THE POETS’ WORLD is an extensive interview with one of the most prominent…

Posted on June 13, 2019 at 4:57pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
A Medieval Songbook: Troubadour & Trouvere by Feltcher Collins, Jr. et al. (University Press of Virginia, 1982) is a valuable resource for performers and listeners of medieval music.
Although the phrase Medieval music is likely to suggest to the general listener Gregorian chant and the church music of such composers as Hildegard von Bingen, there also exists a considerable body of Medieval secular song, most notably by the Minnesingers of the…

Complete Country Dance Tunes from Playford's The Dancing Master, edited by Jeremy Barlow (Faber Music 1986) may be of little interest to most people, but of the highest interest to those interested in its particular subject. Playford's Dancing Master was a collection of traditional songs with basic dance notation which went through numerous editions in the 17th and 18th centuries. It's usually described as a collection of English tunes, but many of them have origins…
ContinueBrief Review: The Great Walz
Posted on April 25, 2019 at 10:00am 0 Comments 0 Likes
The Great Waltz is a classic "Hollywoodization" bio-pic, one which hardly pretends to be accurate, but which uses the life story of a historical character as a basis for atmosphere and entertainment. In this case the subject is "The Waltz King" Johann Strauss II, who was responsible for the craze for the dance that conquered Vienna and much of Europe in the mid 19th…
