The original Composer's Forum site was unfortunately closed down without warning. Although I'm trying to get it back on its feet again, the database and membership details have been lost. This means your old details won't work and you'll need to re-register. Sorry for all that but I do hope to see as many of you on here again as soon as possible.

HS Teoh replied to Rowy's discussion A good title
"I gave my fugue in D the title "Noises in Two Voices": because it has 2 voices and their antics reminded me of Thing One and Thing Two in Dr Suess's stories.
Maybe I should write my symphony no.1 "Are you serious", piano disconcerto no.1 "cover your…"

"I've always thought that one of Bob Dylan's most interesting innovations was to give his songs titles that apparently had nothing at all to do with the song, like "It takes a lot to laugh, it takes a train to cry" or "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" …"

"The last thing I'd want to seem is promising, so here's a jingle I did for an American car dealership. https://on.soundcloud.com/sGsC9
And it was fun! "

HS Teoh replied to HS Teoh's discussion Wild Fugue
"Thanks Gx! Glad you liked it. It was supposed to be over-the-top bombastic and refuse to take itself seriously. A mirrored fun house is right up its alley. 😅"

Rowy replied to David's discussion Cinderella
"Back in the day Music Composition took about 6 years - nowadays it's only 4 years. Although I wasn't there for the full 6 years. Due to bad health I had to take a sabbatical. And then there was some kind of reorganisation. I stayed home for that…"

David replied to Dave Dexter's discussion Establishing ranges in choral works
"you're probably right -- our tastes in that department seem very different although I may be the odd one out here. Some of your chamber music I've listened to seems more promising -- I'll let you know if I find anything which for me particularly…"

David replied to Brett Harrington's discussion Elegy for String Orchestra
"the issue at 4'54" is a seemingly slightly truncated attack but is pretty minor in the scheme of things. There are already mentioned worse oddities in the rendering but are generally outweighed by its generally expressive nature. Listening to this…"

"What a lush and beatiful choral piece, Dave! (I think I remember hearing a version you posted quite a while back, unless it was another choral work, but I remember liking it very much.)
This is a very sensitive and dramatic performance! Fantastic! "

Dave Dexter replied to Rowy's discussion Keys you like or dislike
"Oh, you! *flutters fan* It was for a game called TerraTech, a kind of exploratory adventure-action thing. I got in touch on a whim and apparently beat out some biggish names because I was the only one not offering synths. They liked the adventurous,…"

"Yes, I liked very much HS' "Wild Fugue" as well!
This is my 3rd 12 tone fugue. It, at first, was just a curiosity , as I wasn't too impressed with what I had heard composers do with just 12 tone, and I am unfamiliar (I should look this up)

Dave Dexter replied to Dave Dexter's discussion Establishing ranges in choral works
"Well then you're not going to like any of my choral works, since I more or less think music peaked - at least in terms of beauty - in that era :) thank you though. Btw, that choir wasn't at my disposal. I wish! I wrote the piece for them in a…"

  • Thanks Rowy, I hope you enjoyed your stay!
  • Howdy Michael. I visited your website, Redpil Studio (I did knock). Enjoy us know-it-alls.
  • Howdy all! Please forgive my manners; In my haste to jump into conversation I forgot to introduce myself! I am Michael Karwowski, 63, and currently live in the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania area of the US. I'm a guitarist, studied composition at Berklee College of Music and Carnegie Mellon University, where I taught Theory and Advanced Analytical Techniques for two years as a guest artist/lecturer. I also taught privately for 30 years until I retired. Now I hang around the house, annoy my wife, and compose. Thanks for reading and I look forward to discussing music with you!
