Hi Adrian,

Your new post of this piece is absolutely beautiful. Your friend has helped you take this piece to a very high level. Indeed, I could imagine this being the background music in a tender love scene.

I love the shifting tonalities and as you know from my scores, I also love the inner dissonances and close voicings in the piano accompaniment. Very nicely done.

Thanks for listening. Although we all benefit from this technology, the implication is that to have any success as a composer you now have to not only be a good musician, but also have ICT skills to match. I'm still learning both, but my priority is always for the music, not the ICT.

I some ways I envy the days when real musicians were hired for recording projects, but now you're expected to do it all; so it's actually a harder slog.

Most TV themes (apart from the very well financed) are done partly if not completely on sample libraries - the very best of which you'd be hard pressed to know it wasn't a real orchestra !

I'll keep my writing aimed at real musicians, but until anyone agrees to perform my pieces (that's a challenge in itself), it's nice to have an idea how they might sound.

Well done! nice piece of music! I really like your composition. If I will rate this from 1-10 where 10 is the highest I would give you 10. Great job!

Thanks

I have been asked to orchestrate it for solo viola and strings. I will post a link to that soon.

Hi Adrian,
How in the world did you get more than one piece of music on the Box? For sign in, I put in my email, but when I start typing the password, the page expires. If I try to sign up for another free account, once I start typing a password, the page expires. If I try to reset my password, ditto. I have used about 23 MB of the free 1 GB. So I am missing something. Any ideas what?

Thanks,
mgj

I really don't know what's going on there at all
