Teoh's blog post Mahler 4"If memory serves me correctly, Mahler was born a Jew, converted to Christianity just to get a job position, and now in his symphony 4 he is trying to describe The Marriage Supper of the Lamb in which he has absolutely no clue about. I can tell why…"
Rodney Carlyle Money replied to H. S. Teoh's discussion "Exuberance""Absolutely wonderful and refreshing, my friend. This is probably one of my favorites of yours. Would you consider this a 3 voice fugue? Also, I know you like it fast, but have you considered actually slowing it down? It might sound a little more…"

Rodney Carlyle Money replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Improvisation"Lol, love it, "Right on the Money!" And yes, this turned into one of those sketches I was going to trash, but now Dr. McKinney, literally one of the greatest musicians you've never heard of living today, wants to collaborate and…"
Rodney Carlyle Money replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Innocence Lost (Rough draft of the track form Mvmnt. I of Trumpet Concerto)"The reason why you do not hear a trumpet id, because I personally dislike solo trumpet virtual instruments. Too many years playing live on that darn thing, I guess."
Rodney Carlyle Money replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Innocence Lost (Rough draft of the track form Mvmnt. I of Trumpet Concerto)"Lol. Totally understandable. I will tell you what though, this is the one piece when I am playing along with the piano part on flugelhorn at work that my coworkers and boss will burst into my room asking me, "What is that you are working…"
H. S. Teoh replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Innocence Lost (Rough draft of the track form Mvmnt. I of Trumpet Concerto)"Very atmospheric and moving. But... where's the trumpet part? ;-) (Yes I know, you told us in the chatbox that this was just a rough draft with piano substituting for trumpet. But it would be nice to hear it with a real…"

"Innocence, once lost, can never be regained. Darkness, once gazed upon, can never be lost." ~John Milton This is the rough draft of the track "Innocence Lost" which is the first movement of my trumpet concerto "The Seven Stages of Grief." The piano will be (might be) transcribed into more child-like instruments such as various music boxes and toy pianos that would be difficult to perform in a live situation. In this version the piano plays most of the off-staged flugelhorn and muted trumpet…See More

Boot Hamilton replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Improvisation"That's got a lot of good stuff in it. Nice job. Are you going to comb through it, keeping favorite bits & pieces for development and reconstitution? You should. Many possibilities. "
Rodney Carlyle Money replied to Rodney Carlyle Money's discussion Improvisation"Thank you guys for the help! It means a lot. Here is one of the works that inspired me to try this technique.

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.
