"Hi Jon,
My idea was doing modulation with in the piece and going to an other key with the same tone raw.
And then return to the beginning tone raw at the end.
Congratulations again.
Ali"
"Thanks for the response, glad you liked it."
"Nice work Jon. Thanks for sharing."
"Thanks for the kind comment.
I originally wrote this in a C major scale but simply omitting the G (dominant.) (I'm not sure if the resulting scale has a technical name -- can anyone tell me?) I then transposed to 2 flats to best…"
"Hi Jon, beautiful work. Misty...
Would you consider using the same mode from other ref pitch?

Wonderful modal music.

When to her lute Corinna sings
When to her lute Corinna singsThomas Campion, a close contemporary of Shakespeare, was a physician, poet, composer, critic, and songwriter. For this setting of his song When to her lute Corinna sings I've adapted the music, with substantial variation, from the version of Campion's original setting printed in Janet Dodge's Twelve Elizabethan Songs (1902.) I've left the…See More
"Thanks for the comment, and for liking it. I do hope to get a singer to perform or record it some day. If any male vocalists reading this are interested, I could also create a version for tenor or baritone."
"Hi Jon,
fine art this. The atmosphere is like we imagine the old Shakespeare days. The words are singing too, well it is Shakespeare. I think you give the poem what it deserves with your nice music. I look forward to hear be singing.
All the…"

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.

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.

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…

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…
