"Wow, Note Performer looks cool! I multi track with midi in Logic which is an entirely different animal. I'm interested in writing a piece using the traditional scoring approach so I may try this software out. Perhaps it will result in a more…"

This work wants to paint the rising of the sun, the sun beaming through the clouds and mirroring in a mountains brook, it's merciles power in the desert, it's life giving power and it's sunset at the…Continue

Hi, everyone, in 2016 I composed a Kyrie for a-capella choir. At this time I was very much touched by the spiritual music by Palestrina and I wanted to write something that would express this kind of…Continue

Hi, for my string quartett I wrote 20 years ago this Scherzo, which somewhat has the character of a wild horse ride, with a development part at 0:36 which I am very fond of and a lovely Trio:[url]…Continue

"Dear friends,
thank you you all for your appreciation for my work. Especially, Sean, your emotional words move me and I am grateful that this work has such an effect on you. To answer your question: all of my instruments are created directly…"
"Gerd, if you don't mind me asking, what horns library do you use? I just listened to this again and it brought tears to my eyes and gave me goosebumps. It's really great"
"Hi Gerd,
Very intriguing work and extremely well done as to orchestration, thematic material and recording (for an older work). Of course with present day means it could sound a lot better and realistic (strings mainly). But that aside, it's a…"
"Kudos Gerd. Well done."
"Dear James and Jos, thank you for your Feedback! I was afraid that they would not meet my expectations but actually they surpassed it! The Allegro they took faster than in my former mp3 file and so I find it now much better! Only in the final…"
"Wonderful performance and mainly a very good interpretation. The quartet has read the score very carefully and played the phrases with some fantasy, but strictly in the classical style. (No romantic hyperbolism or exaggeration in dynamics and…"
"Hi Gerd,
...and describe all those visuals, you certainly did! The Sun gives life, but you gave it back! A wonderful rollercoaster.
All the best"
"Hello Gerd,
Another example of your commensurate skill at all aspects of composition: proportion, balance, production. In the absence of a score I can't comment on details (not that I would anyway without cause!).
Purely my response it came…"
"Very well done Gerd!
I hope you don't mind me saying that it sounds Beethovenian. It sure would sound so much better played by an Orchestra.
Regards"
"Eventhough this is not the style I usually listen to I can say that this little waltz is really very beatiful with these exciting harmonies and an exquisite sound quality. Very good, Dane!!"
"This really blew my hair back. Awesome stuff! "
"Bravo! A true enjoyment to listen to these delightful and passionate string sounds, especially in the first movement (not so much in the second)!"
Symphonic Poem - THE SUN
This work wants to paint the rising of the sun, the sun beaming through the clouds and mirroring in a mountains brook, it's merciles power in the desert, it's life giving power and it's sunset at the end of a day. Just as well it may describe the rise, splendour & passing of a man . . . one of my favourite works . . .http://gerdprengel.de/the_sun.mp3Gerd See More
"Gerd, it is wonderful to hear one of your works performed by professional musicians! Nothing beats real musicians, and the piece was wonderfully developed, and well performed. You have much to be proud and excited about!Jim"
String quartett on Beethoven's last sketches - LIVE RECORDING - I. Andante Maestoso / Allegro
I am very excited to present to you the first LIVE RECORDING of the 1st movement of my string quartett which I wrote on the basis of the 1st movement of Beethoven's last project, a planned string quintett from Nov. 1826, WoO 62 (piano arrangement by Diabelli of the introduction and the main theme of the Allegro and another Allegro theme at. m.51). The main theme starts in the cello at the beginning of the Allegro and is developed in manifold ways throughout the whole movement :0:00 Andante…See More
