"Thanks, David!
Oh yes, I've looked through many of the other entries, commenting on any that particularly stood out to me. One can't help but be curious about the competition while also discovering how others approached the same source material with…"

"OK, David, your explanation is interesting and makes some sense -- I tend to be a literalist when writing to text in trying to describe exactly what's being expressed at that moment but of course it's not the only way! Incidentally, there are quite…"
"Sorry, David—I seem to have missed your comment as it came in while I was responding to Dave Dexter. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and share your feedback.
I initially shared your sentiment regarding the emotional implications of the…"

"Hi Rowy --well there have been a few things going on recently -- thanks for your concern. But a public forum is not the place to discuss all that (there's an email address on my Reelcrafter page just in case you want to chat that way). By the way,…"
"You sound a little down. I hope I'm wrong. Maybe it's just my annoyingly cheerful self. Anyway, have a great day!"
"I'm not sure if I understand it or like it either but it is what it is -- possibly some people who don't usually like my music will find this intriguing and those who do won't like it. Perhaps it's really a meditation on the transience of life…"
"This is a tough one for me. I can honestly say I don’t understand it, nor do I enjoy it. However, it made me feel nostalgic. Suddenly, I remembered sitting in the chapel of the conservatory 40 years ago. It was an old monastery, and the former…"
"Thanks for your kind remarks David. I'll try to answer your questions as succinctly as I am able.
Harmonic relationships are determined by how much overlap there is between the sets. If you take a 12-note row and divide it in half, then there is no…"

"I listened to the trumpet concerto—it’s quite episodic and indeed deeply original. It doesn’t strike me as atonal, though my ears are not yet developed enough to fully perceive the tonal center or harmonic relationships you’ve described in your…"
After getting -- for the time being at any rate -- a computer I can actually do some music on, I decided to write a short piece to use my "Christmas present" -- a curious alto library from Orchestral Tools courtesy of their voucher. It's purely…
"Hey Dave, thanks for taking the time to check this out and share your thoughts. You bring up a point I struggle with in competitions- the challenge of interpreting emotional beats without a director. In the (few) scoring gigs I’ve done, there’s…"
"I agree in general with Dave and would add that from around 3'45" to 4' after which it suddenly becomes appropriately darker, the music seems too cheerful for what the film is narrating. Having said that, this is musically a lot more interesting and…"
"As music I think it's very good, excellent in places (and where it needs to be) - completely appropriate to the visual tone and perfectly filmic. The judicious use of live-recorded parts elevates it further. I could nitpick a couple of moments in…"
"I don't consider my fugues to be that predictable. I do take a rather liberal approach to fugue; I can't stand the monotonous I-V-I-V structure of the strict interpretation of fugue, for example. So I often have strange modulations going off already…"
"About the closest you will hear me getting to a fugue is about 5 minutes into my 4th symphony, which hints at a (double?) fugue, but doesn't really make it to the 4th exposition, as it is interrupted. One of my early pieces (In a Dream) has a fugue…"
"I used to listen to a lot of Peter Menin, and I wish he was played more often. I suppose your movement sounds like him, typical of the "dissonant counterpoint" style. I agree with HS that it sounds like a movement or section of a larger work. It…"
