Musings of a Composer: October 2005

http://mermusings.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html

Musings of a Composer. Creative expressions for life. Tuesday, October 25, 2005. Composing blocks, part one. Wednesday, October 12, 2005. So the recording session went REALLY well, it's hours later and I'm still high on the joy of it all. The process of creating music with talented and sensitive people is totally engaging and rewarding and fulfilling for me. Starting at 9am was counter-intuitive perhaps, but worked. The main male character's theme the director and I had decided would start with solo cell...

Musings of a Composer: September 2010

http://mermusings.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Musings of a Composer. Creative expressions for life. Tuesday, September 14, 2010. Okay, so I actually mean "Heal Myself", but in case you're wondering, this is what I've been working on this summer. my family doctor believes I have fibromyalgia, and I've had constant headaches for years now. I'm trying many different approaches, including eating a nutrient-rich diet ( Dr. Fuhrman. Yes overall I am feeling improvements! But I'm writing this up here to encourage myself to keep trying new things, and don't...

Musings of a Composer: November 2010

http://mermusings.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Musings of a Composer. Creative expressions for life. Friday, November 05, 2010. Second attendance at rehearsal of Celebration of the Deep. Led a fun and moving rehearsal of my piece this last Wednesday - for one thing she had the woodwinds sitting in front of the second violins and violas - it was great to hear their parts sounding from ahead of the inner strings. I like how she changes things up in interesting and educational ways. Educational for me, at least! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Im on a journ...

Musings of a Composer: performance at Cayuga Ridge nursing home last night

http://mermusings.blogspot.com/2010/12/performance-at-cayuga-ridge-nursing.html

Musings of a Composer. Creative expressions for life. Thursday, December 09, 2010. Performance at Cayuga Ridge nursing home last night. First I've heard the whole program, including Saint-Saens bassoon concerto (orchestrated by Cayenna from sonata for bassoon and piano), lovely Brahms for lower strings and woodwinds, horns, plus tricky Elgar. I still get a kick out of my piece referred to as "the Boel". Like "the Brahms". Bear and I listened from the back of the woodwinds, almost next to the brass, and i...

Musings of a Composer: June 2010

http://mermusings.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Musings of a Composer. Creative expressions for life. Wednesday, June 23, 2010. First Page of Celebration of the Deep. Friends, I forgot to tell you how I've changed the beginning of Celebration of the Deep! I was tormented over how busy what I had written might sound, and for what purpose? Really I wanted the french horn melody to shine over everything else. And I seem to have a tendency to want to start every piece with a drone, why? Sunday, June 20, 2010. The Deep and the Greens. And now today has bee...

Musings of a Composer. Creative expressions for life. Thursday, October 28, 2010. Lead-up to first rehearsal. Apparently I am going in reverse now, from most recent to less recent. So I can see that I also neglected to write about the lengthy process of preparing parts for Celebration of the Deep - yikes! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Ithaca, New York, United States.

Musings of a Composer: April 2010

http://mermusings.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Musings of a Composer. Creative expressions for life. Tuesday, April 13, 2010. The deep part of The Deep, and art vs. technique? It even sounds pretty good! So I am one very happy camper. I will try Cayenna's conductor/director's idea of doubling that low line with the alternating of two bassoons, this should make it simpler than trying to borrow instruments yes? I wrote to Cayenna:. I saw a master class with Francois Rabbath (spelling? Monday, April 05, 2010. My niece Emily has shared with me a round ca...
