"Thanks for pointing that out. Obviously the person who wrote the piece on the linked page stole the whole thing from me. I may need to have a couple friends of mine called Rico and BIg Eddy go have a little talk with that individual."
"Oddly enough a similar proposal was included in the Obama administrations economic stimulus plan in 2009.

"Interesting. It seems to hark back to earlier in the 20th Century when modern music flourished. I don't know how many of the trusts and societies remain but the era produced some lasting names, among them the "traditional modernists":…"
"Thanks for the comment. I thought of adding breathing or pause markings, but decided against it, since in a piece like this I wanted to leave room for the performers to use such things as their own interpretation directs.

"Hi Jon,
this is a pretty piece and I can hear the potential of it. While you are waiting for the singer I believe you can make it more realistic by adding some breathing breaks of natural duration of course.
This piece will flourish when you get the…"

Spring and Fall: To a Young Child by Gerard Manley Hopkins
Spring and Fall: To a Young Child by Gerard Manley HopkinsSong for Mezzo-Soprano and PianoOne of numerous revisions I've made of my setting for this famous poem, and I'm still uncertain whether it's successful. In my opinion a musical setting of a familiar poem ought to have a double effect: the listener should feel both "Yes that's what I knew it was like" and "I never…See More
"A very good song, both words and music and certainly as good as many commercially successful popular songs nowadays.

I usually don't include scores to accompany the audio files I post on this site, since I offer some of my scores for sale on the internet, and it wouldn't be appropriate also to have free copies elsewhere on the internet. I'll be glad to email a score pdf for private study to any member of this forum without charge.

One of the music sites I look at sometimes is the well-established New Music USA.
In this blog post I'll mention two recent articles from that site which composers may find interesting.

A Medieval Songbook: Troubadour & Trouvere by Feltcher Collins, Jr. et al. (University Press of Virginia, 1982) is a valuable resource for performers and listeners of medieval music.
Although the phrase Medieval music is likely to suggest to the general listener Gregorian chant and the church music of such composers as Hildegard von Bingen, there also exists a considerable body of Medieval secular song, most notably by the Minnesingers of the…

Complete Country Dance Tunes from Playford's The Dancing Master, edited by Jeremy Barlow (Faber Music 1986) may be of little interest to most people, but of the highest interest to those interested in its particular subject. Playford's Dancing Master was a collection of traditional songs with basic dance notation which went through numerous editions in the 17th and 18th centuries. It's usually described as a collection of English tunes, but many of them have origins…

Posted on April 25, 2019 at 10:00am 0 Comments 0 Likes
The Great Waltz is a classic "Hollywoodization" bio-pic, one which hardly pretends to be accurate, but which uses the life story of a historical character as a basis for atmosphere and entertainment. In this case the subject is "The Waltz King" Johann Strauss II, who was responsible for the craze for the dance that conquered Vienna and much of Europe in the mid 19th…
