"This is splendid, and what an art song should be. The instrument supports the vocal, and the vocal supports the lyrics, which are prominent and perfectly clear throughout. The rather meandering piano, spiked with carefully placed…"

"Thanks very much for the comments.
With pieces like this I'm fine with the performer adding ornament, rubato, varying the tempo, etc., and sometimes say so in the score.
As for the scales, it's quite easy to use the internet do a search on…"
"Nice pieces, Jon, and I'm so appreciative of you providing the score on youtube. I won't comment on the rendering because I can imagine a flautist catching the nuances and making something of the rubatos you include. In places it seemed a…"
"A few years ago I tried the trial versions of two or three vocal emulators, can't remember their names now, without success. The demo samples sounded surprisingly human, but I could never get my versions to sound like them. Maybe I…"
Four Ukiyo-e for solo flute
Four Ukiyo-e for solo fluteThis composition consists of four pieces for solo flute inspired by traditional Japanese Ukiyo-e: Two men by a gate in the mountains by Hiroshige, Winter moon on Toyama Plain by Kawase Hasui, Two Lovers Beneath an Umbrella in the Snow by Suzuki Harunobu, and Butterfy and Lily by Ohara Koson. The fourth piece begins with an allusion to a…See More
"Thanks for the valuable comments. I'll try raising that cello part to see how it sounds. I'll be revising this piece soon, though maybe not right away -- I find it's useful before revising a piece to let enough time pass…"
"I quite liked this. You've had a detailed crit already so I nothing much to add. I thought the piano part was fairly nifty in places - the leap in bar 5 3rd group is positively Lisztian! I had a different solution from Greg Brus' re bar 17…"
"Thanks for the response. This kind of detailed analysis is very useful.
The strange character in measure 42 is apparently a glitch in the software which I didn't notice. I'll correct it and report it as a bug to…"
"Knowing you, I'm not sure whether the thing in measure 42 is done on purpose or it's a spelling error, but personally I would say it's the latter. Also measure 26 (here it's the correct note but D# doesn't make sense…"

"Thanks for the comment. I had never realized I rarely use contrary motion -- I think it's because in most of my music I strive for a certain naive and straightforward tone. Now that I'm aware of it, maybe I'll try…"
"A pleasant listen. Thank you for making it available on soundcloud. (I'm unable to comply with Musescore's T&C)!
My only comment is that you seem to have an aversion to contrary motion - not a negative point, the effect is quite…"
Entre le bœuf et l'âne gris
Entre le bœuf et l'âne grisEntre le bœuf et l'âne gris is one of the oldest Christmas carols, dating from at least the 17th century, and possibly much earlier. The music of the present composition is adapted from Chansons populaires du pays de France by Jean-Baptiste Weckerlin (1903,) and the words from that book and from Les enfantines du Bon pays de France by Philippe…See More

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.

ContinueBrief review: A Medieval Songbook: Troubadour & Trouvere
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…
