This was a string quartet I wrote many years ago, and I have started to convert it to sax quartet. There are still a few issues, but I am anxious to get some feedback as I move forward. All…Continue

Is it possible that you have not used the Sib 7 sounds much since you have those other libraries? I have been writing some concert band pieces with Sib 7 sounds and found them to be quite good. Some of the tutti sections in your mp3…"

Ah....the joy of actually having time to REALLY listen to something great! Today was the ever amazing Mr. Bartok and his Concerto for Orchestra. On top of that, the Philadelphia Orchestra to boot! Just intense and great moments to be heard.
What can be said about Bela Bartok that has not already been said. The man did so much for music. People either HATE him or LOVE him. I happen to be of the latter opinion. I think that he is on the level with that of Beethoven and…

I am thrilled by a new force in my compositin: writing for winds. There is something unique about the winds and brass instruments. I have written much for saxophone and saxophone quartet lately, and also for wind ensemble. If you ever want to break into this exciting genre, just transcribe something for a school wind ensemble, and KAPOW you've got pieces being played.
This brngs me to one of my questions: why don't more composers write for school groups? It seems to me…

Just what I need: A new focus. I say that both sarcastically and literally. I am really excited at the prospect of composing for TV and film. After so much searching for a purpose, I think I have found something that I really have always wanted to do.
If anyone has advice, let me know. Some of you out there on this blog are quite accomplished in this art-form. To be honest, I have done a lot of composing, and have had a fair amount of performances, so it is not the…

I am really getting back into this wonderful genre. I have joined the new ensemble in Seattle (Seattle Wind Symphony - www.seattlewindwymphony.org), and have enjoyed it. The genre is full of surprising innovation, not to mention a great way to relive old classics.
So, here is my listening for this evening:
English Folk Song Suite, Ralph Vaughn Williams
Suite No. 2 in F Major, Gustav Holst

Robert FRANKLIN said… I was wondering IF any Composer's here use Native I Instruments - EWQLSO Platinum or Platinum Pro Expansion & Symphonic Choirs or any who are also technical guys?
I was promised Life-Time Support for these expensive products however they are liars and the support is virtually non-existent.
I had my system stolen and had to start again and am having Installation problems I didn't encounter before some 6 years ago when I fist Installed them.
