President Obama makes his case for more troops in Afghanistan tomorrow night. I’ve got bad news for him; nobody will like what he has to say. The Republicans won’t like the fact that he took two months to decide. That’s not being a decider, it’s n...
Hi Anne,
Thank you for taking the time to listen. I'm new to the group and probably should have lurked longer and familiarized myself with the group's opportunities prior to posting my request.
My recordings are not live performances, but I'm pr...
Okay, Steve, I listened to the first 8 of your piano pieces. I'm not quite sure what you are wanting regarding commentary. Since you've put this up as a 'general' conversation, then I will give you a 'general' response regarding your music. Your m...
LOL! I'll have a listen Steve! (I slept in this morning, as usual!) Be back in awhile with some commentsI :)
Well this is disappointing. No commentary whatsoever. Did I forget my deodorant?
Hi All,
I'm new to the group. All but 4 pieces on my page are works for piano. I'm very curious to hear your opinions of my music. If there are some capable players here who are interested in seeing the music it's all been nicely notated in Final...

Some political commentary
President Obama makes his case for more troops in Afghanistan tomorrow night. I’ve got bad news for him; nobody will like what he has to say. The Republicans won’t like the fact that he took two months to decide. That’s not being a decider, it’s not decisive to take that two months to do the manly thing. In fact it’s positively French to take two months to do a manly thing. We Americans want our Presidents manly (and definitely not French). The Republicans have the monopoly on all things America… Continue

Orchestral Music
It seems in these parts orchestral efforts count for something. So I've posted the first two movements of what I consider my symphony, Yesterday is History and Tomorrow is a Mystery. I've already posted the third (final) movement, Today is a Gift. That's the order in which they should be heard, Yesterday, Tomorrow and then Today, it's all about living in the now. This piece was based on a sentence of psychobabble that I appreciate, "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, t… Continue

Andy Schofield said… - Thank you Steve for your kind comments. I've sadly been without computer for 8 months following major problem and this is first day back up and running (limping actually) so was great to get your email. I will certainly contact JB as you suggest. I have unfortunately not yet scored the Concerto and it will probably take some time but I'll certainly point him in the right direction.....I'll be very very interested in his comments. Thank you again so much for this contact.

Kelly Dowhower said… - I've listened to yer symphony 3 times. I like it.
Since I'm far away---you can believe it's the truth. If I was around in person you might think I was just saying that so's you wouldn't use yer martial arts skill on me---heh, heh.
But really, impressive work.

You might get a kick out of "American Songs" now on my home page.
Thanks

Dankk said… - you can also drag the entire playlist to different section of your page by going to the top bar of it and click/drag to somewhere else on the page. Give it a try sometime. it is how people have their playlist in the middle.

- It should be pretty easy to change the order of the songs in your playlist. Simply left click "edit playlist" on the bottom left of your player. Then a new page should appear. on the left side of the song title, you will see a place to click and drag the song to the order you want. go to the bottam and save after it is as you want it. I hope that helps.

Simon Godden said… - Thanks Steve. The Doh, Ray, Me thing was accidental, honestly. When I studied music, I never used that nomenclature, but in describing the motif of the finale, it seemed more appropriate because had I called to account the actual notes it would not have related to later instances of the motif in different keys. (I could have said, tonic-supertonic-mediant, but some people might not have understood it). Therefore, I was never aware of the spelling (I probably got it from the spelling associated with ''The Sound of Music'' song, although Do would then have been Doe).
As far as the samples are concerned, I agree, but I'm not about to blame my tools because I know that my production skills need improving, and any orchestra libraries out there that are better than the ones that I have now are also a hell of a lot more expensive. And as I am primarily a concert composer (wannabe) as opposed to a cinematic one, production isn't by any means as important as it would be if it were be transposed directly to film. My biggest desire, obviously, is to have my work played live. That is what I strive for.
It used to be that one could shuffle one's playlist. However, whilst other aspects of this great site are evolving, it seems that this particular service has now been disabled. If you thought you were listening to my symphony after having listened to 'Spirit of the Stour' ('Stour' is the name of the river in the city of Canterbury), Alphabet Green and Flanders, you must have thought I was a pretty inconsistent composer. After you've familiarised yourself with the order of play, I'd love to know how you liked the whole symphony.
Thanks again
