"Hi Fred, thx for the kind words. I have to disagree and say that your music by far, far the more sophisticated -- the harmonies and structure -- i don't have that facility, maybe someday.
Best wishes,

"ps the REquiem will be performed at that concert of course..... I have also been growing, I think, as a composer, trying new things and being a bit more daring -- but i want to be daring wisely, so i really feel at home with it, and not just…"
"Hi Frederick -- well, yes i've been kind of busy, some with music, some with other things. A bit of a rough year; lost a close friend. End of 2010 I will have a concert of my music, so am very busy working on my score cleanup. Also was requested to…"

Happy Holidays!

"on the Requiem -- I should note here that in that case especially, I was not trying to do anything really "new" -- rather, in my time of grief, i found it a comfort to fall back on the familiar. I wrote the Req. in a month -- did nothing else but…"
"Personally, sometimes I wonder if the composing mindset isn't a specialized form of madness....."
"ps my composition teacher (whom I visit sporadically), Ofer Ben-Amots, said once that perhaps I was a reincarnation of one of the late romantic composers. I don't know if he was joking or not, but I do have a fondness for clothing from that era and…"
"Dear Frederick, thank you so much for listening and your kind words -- cheered me up this eve, as i am feeling tired and uninspired (it happens). I feel much like Cinderella, because my musical activities are like a dream that seems unreal. Though I…"

"Oh I forgot, the requiem can be heard here: (and the lyrics are listed with translation). The voices are simulated -- just "Ah's" but that is the best I could do with the software I have!

"Dear Frederick,
I am enjoying you American Songs very much. I have much to learn about harmony, and like you, make no living at music (I was a software engineer for 14 years, now disabled by an autoimmune disease ("allergic to myself" as I like to…"

"Hi Fred, OK I owe you an apology. May I use the "it was 3 am and I hadn't had coffee yet" excuse? ;-) Seriously, I put new music nowadays on my soundclick site, where you can download most everything for free. It's at www.soundclick.com/kepeaceusa.…"
I was a software engineer for 14 years and hold an MS in Computer Information Systems and a BA in English Literature. I have been writing songs and/or singing in choruses off and on since age 10. I started writing serious classical music in earnest around April 2006, and love to share music and ideas with other composers. I also love to sing and am a classically trained soprano. For my music work, I use Finale with Garritan Personal Orchestra -- these changed my musical life! Other interests include reading and writing poetry, painting, contemplative practice, cooking for friends, other cultures, good stories, good wine, and good conversation. :-) Comment Wall

Yes you can use my website, www.spdmusicproductions.com
Thanks and I will get your posted. I tried this morning, but the hosting company was having issues.
Thanks

OK I will listen to the other movements I have not gotten that far yet. Like you, I also tend to write tender legato type of music.
Yes I do write my own, but then when I need a piano solo for church, thats when I re-write the solo for orchestra, so usually the orchestra stuff is made up while the piano arrangement is already given.
IF you look at my Video... that was recent...and I had to compose music for video directed and created by Zennor Alexander. So thats an example of my dense originallity :-)
For sequencing I use Cubase SX3, for notation I use Sibelius 5.

Hey thanks so much for joining me!
Yes EWQL is East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra software I use to compose. Most of this you heard in my demos.
What I meant my soft creative scores, so far what I have listened to, they are very passive & creative. :-)
I am glad that you would like to be a link on my website! I will post it shortly. You can go to www.spdmusicproductions.com and click on the link Musician Friends. It will link back to your soundclick page.
Stay in touch my dear!
Stephen
