Rodney Carlyle Money replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Stressing about writing program notes (asking for help)"Thanks guys for your help. Here's what I came up with:
Enriched with nostalgic Celticism, the origin of In the Heart of Our Home was a dedicatory hymn to the composer’s hometown located in King, North Carolina, but now with the…"

A few weeks ago a brass quintet from the United States Air Force asked me to arrange one of my compositions, which was originally an alma mater for a high school in North Carolina, for one of their brass quintets to be performed on Mount Rushmore on Independence Day this July 4th. The composition is now called "In the Heart of Our Home" which is based on the original words:Oh in the heart of our homeThere lies the start of our futureWhere dreams of the Spirit become realityIt's our alma mater,…See More
Rodney Carlyle Money replied to Bob Porter's discussion Is it harder to write fast music, or slow music?"I know for my own compositions, "fast and slow" doesn't seem to matter concerning difficulty, but "matters of importance" tends to dominate that scenario more. For example, if I am commissioned to write a marching band show…"

Rodney Carlyle Money replied to Kyle Benjamin Ross's discussion Symphony No. 3: Ode to College"In the real world of acoustic instruments the other mallet instruments would cover those parts. "
Rodney Carlyle Money replied to Kyle Benjamin Ross's discussion Symphony No. 3: Ode to College"If I was you I would rework the entire piece and score it for percussion ensemble so it would be publishable and marketable for publishing companies especially the 1st movement. Drop the guitar, bass, cheesy slow strings which you definitely…"
Rodney Carlyle Money replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Do you agree or disagree with this quote?"It's not about 911 anymore, but more about how individuals deal with grief. Just like the composition itself, the meaning developed also. Thank you for remembering though, Dave! "
Em Coston replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Do you agree or disagree with this quote?"Just two questions.
1) Would those who tried to save others (and perhaps died) but didn't succeed still be considered heroes?
2) Would the fact that someone is fully aware of what exactly they will suffer but still attempts to save another…"

Al Johnston said… Thanks for the invite, Rodney. I was quite impressed by your Sins of the Old Testament pieces. Dance of the Golden Calf was quite beguiling. I'm currently listening to BelgianComposer's new Double Bass Sonata (http://youtu.be/c4wIy1qyf1E). Check his Youtube channel out. I haven't run across him elsewhere, but his work is consistently first rate. Again, thanks for your work.
