Gregory Michael Hodges replied to Gregory Michael Hodges's discussion Violin Concerto
"I'm not sure how old you are (and you don't have to tell me), but I'm almost 50 so I've had many years of practice.  Intuition and spontaneity probably wouldn't work so well for me were it not for decades of trial and error.  It took a long time for…"

Gregory Michael Hodges replied to Gregory Michael Hodges's discussion Violin Concerto
"I don't disagree with you.  think it largely has to do with what kind of composition you're writing, and what your goals for the work are.  If you're writing a fugue, for instance, by its very nature it is a more cerebral work so I think it can only…"

"I certainly do appreciate your additional comments here, David.  This is why, even though I'm often tempted to go back and revise a piece after it's completed, given that there's a certain post-composition clarity to things, I usually do not give in…"

Gregory Michael Hodges replied to David's discussion string quartet no. 12
"David, this is a phenomenal work. I haven't listened to all of your string quartets, but of the ones I have, this is my favorite. I think the work is well-structured and well-crafted. The final movement is achingly beautiful. I wish I had…"

"Thanks for listening, HS.  As always, after I finish a composition I see areas where improvements could be made, or where, in hindsight, I might have done something different.  It was my first stab at a violin concerto.  I didn't have very high…"

"Thank you, Raymond!  I'm glad you enjoyed it and that it resonated with you.  I always wonder, while I'm composing, if what I intend to convey will have the same effect on listener as it has on me.  I'm glad this piece worked for you and your words…"

"Thanks for your positive remarks, David.  I'm glad you liked it.  I have to admit in all honesty that David Owen was foremost in my mind as my target audience as I composed this, so I really did take into consideration your gripes with the…"

"Thanks for your comments, Mike.  I'm happy you enjoyed the piece overall.  I appreciate you taking the time to listen.  
Admittedly, I don't have the most sophisticated setup for creating virtual performances.  I use Finale and the standard…"

Hi folks,I haven't been very active on here in the past year; and of course, the whole site was gone there for a little while.  But I thought I'd jump back in and post the link to my latest work, my Violin Concerto in C Minor.  I wrote it this week…

Bio

b. 1974

My family was unable to provide me with a musical education when I was growing up, but I was always fascinated by music and dreamed of one day being a composer.  I developed a love for film and classical music very early on, eventually taught myself piano, and began to study notation and theory during college.  By my mid-twenties, I was composing seriously.  I have written symphonies, piano concertos, and other miscellaneous orchestral and chamber works.
