I agree with your enthusiasm for the Dorian mode, Mark. It's like minor with a spine.

Thanx for your comments as well Mark. The Way We Were is actually written as the Main Theme for a series Im doing about Canada's involvement in Italy during WW2, so I see where you hear that "epicness" about it like TItanic. Good luck with your coarse. I studied music in college and majored in performance (electric guitar...I like my JAzz!) and Composition. But I was fortunate that there is a really good film program at thaschool, so I was able to score several films, Good practice. I should find some of that stuff and post it. ANyway, thanx again...

Hey man. Good stuff. "The Mystic Forest" has a very Celtic feel to it. Love that kind of stuff...!

Mark,
You look like the average Joe I'd work with in a welding/ fab shop, but you've definitely got that "special" musical instinct. People never cease to amaze me. Very nice work, my friend. Tomorrow's Sunset and Mystic Forest were my favorites, but all (4) are top notch. Incidentally. I generally hate waltzes as a general rule, but I even found yours (along with Freddie Mercury's "Millionaire's Waltze") totally enjoyable. Glad I was able to remember to stop back.

Mark,
Nice to meet you as well. I listened to some of your cues. Very nice melodic structure!
Welcome to the forum!

MARK,
thanks for your kind words and very good work. I see you have met Kristofer Emering. I recommend his work highly. It is a fine combination of compositional skill and "inspired" musicality.

Regarding melody, I think it only seems to be out of vogue because there are so many scribblers of notes who can't seem to write them. In the long run, and in the short run too, the music that tends to survive is loaded with melodies that ordinary people enjoy.. Maybe thats why Rodrego gets 1000 performances to every one of Schoenberg.

Maybe it boils down to this, if a composer wants to be respected he writes for other composers and impresses them with his/her erudition. If a composer wants to be loved and have his/her work performed, s/he writes to engage the heart at least as much as the mind.

Hi Mark,
I too am a fan of both Morricone's and Zinos' work. Welcome to the forum. I'll be listening to your contributions, maybe tomorrow, as I need to charge my laptop.

About Me:
I have grown up playing music. I started at age 6 on the Piano playing classical stuff. Then switched to Hard Rock / Metal type guitar in my teens, which I'm still doing some, but now I find my self having come full circle and am very passionate about classical orchestra music again. Film Music especially! I think it's more passionate because it has to stir up emotions in people as they watch the film.
