Have you ever written music for Halloween or created music suitable for the occasion? This is your chance to scare the hell out of us with your creativity.
Read more…I humbly present the 3rd and final movement of my Piano Concerto No 2, a boisterous jaunt through a fugue, which becomes a gigue, slows down to an arabesque type dance, and then becomes an all-out romp, and that's just the preview! Hope to lift your
Read more…I've recently completed my magnum opus, a setting of the HC Andersen tale The Little Mermaid. At over 1hr 7 mins, it's the longest thing I've ever written but is perhaps also the best and certainly the most characteristic of the sort of thing I'm mos
Read more…Quite a few years ago, I experimented with three short songs to German Romantic poets. Initially I had no software which could sing text so didn't pay that much attention to the text setting but decided to go back to these works and lay the words out
Read more…Right now, I earn my living setting music for pubishers, mostly parts. I need to use whatever software I am told to use. At the moment, composers are sending their scores to the publishers mostly in Finale and Sibelius, but with the recent sunset of
Read more…Disclaimer: This is not my work nor am I associated with it in any way. I stumbled across it while browsing fugues online, and it's just too cool not to repost here:
I've always wanted to write a rock fugue, or any fugue that isn't in baroque/classic
Read more…Someone in the upper echelons should probably check out Ahmed Khan, whose friend request message veers several miles into "spam bot" territory. I accepted purely to see was in their profile.
Read more…I'm working on a piece where 99% of the 8th notes are staccato. What's the best way to notate this? I thought of writing sempre staccato but not all notes are staccato, only 8th notes (and not all of them, though the overwhelming majority are). Longe

I am absolutely stymied.
On 21 June, two things happened on my system: (1) Sibelius suddenly hung on startup, a problem that could not be fixed even by trashing the file containing my global Sibelius settings. I was about to give up, when I was inform
Read more…Hi, I'd like to share with you my new variations for piano again on a sketched beautiful and rather melancholic Beethoven tune from 1820. Formerly I have made already an orchestration of that theme.

Read more…I'll go first. I like to make things—not to express myself, but because I want to understand how things work. By writing music, I get to see the layers underneath. How does a brain work? After decades of profound drinking and thinking, I realized tha

Read more…May I introduce you to my latest realisation of some marvelous Beethoven sketches ? At the end there is a Scherzo which I think is one of Beethoven's best!
Can you imagine this to be done from these original sketches?

Read more…I fairly recently completed my latest chamber work. Like with the 12th, this finishes with a consolatory adagio as its heart, though this time it's a bit more complex and starts with a variant of the main motif of the first movement which is highly c
