"Thanks for the suggestion, I'll investigate that."
"Thanks, I'll keep this advice on file for revision. One reason I use block chords is that I wanted a sort of stately progress effect, but maybe I made it too heavy handed. Or it may be the lingering effect of listening to too much Dave Brubeck at…"
"Thanks very much. I'll keep all this in mind. I'm familiar with the idea of using multiple instruments to give the effect of multiple stops, and it would probably be better, and certainly easier than looking up possible multiple stops in an…"
"Thanks so much for the encouraging comment. Though I'm not particularly religious in the ordinary sense, I've been influenced by various sorts of of church music."

Three Miniatures for Solo FluteFluttering Leaf - Frozen Waterfall - Pale Rose I originally composed this for clarinet but then decided flute would be better. I tried to make it simple enough that it would find performers especially among students;…
"I think the real danger is that AI generated music will become normal. In a decade or two, if you play a recording of Casal's Bach Cello suites to a younger person, they may say, "This somehow sounds artificial, like it wasn't made by a computer.""
The Harp That Once Thro' Tara's Hallssung by John MacCormackwords by Thomas Moore The harp that once, through Tara's halls, The soul of music shed, Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls As if that soul were fled. So sleeps the pride of former days,…
