Moozick Folks,

Here is a fast orchestral piece in 3/4 time with lots of counterpoint.

This is my "Molto Movimento".  (Italian - Much Movement)

This made me feel like I was back in the 17th century attending a ball - and I enjoyed the listen quite a bit.

The orchestral melodies were very pleasant to ears - well done.

I appreciate your comments, Mister Doug.  Thanks.

This is one of my many works for solo piano and orchestra, "Prism".

In any of my music, if you hear a technique, compositional method or idea that you like, then...

feel free to copy them and use them for yourself.  (Just don't copy my music itself.)  

Regards to everybody.

Another excellent example of craftsmanship. I can easily imagine people playing those instruments.

It's true, d minor really is the saddest of all keys.

Thanks for the good words, JavaDude.

Y'all,

This is my wild and up-tempo "Takin' Turns", featuring banjo and guitar takin' turns in the spotlight...duh.

Permission to post my "Exercise In D Minor"?

This work of mine is for solo violin with harpsichord accompaniment.

Here's my "Guitar And Violin Duo".  No other instruments are involved.

Here is my semi-roc k chune called "Icy".  It's a mixture of conventional and sampled instruments.
 
Old dudes like me shouldn't be writing music like this...should we?

Another thing to consider regarding keys is that if one actually sets a project to the correct key then the Process/Transpose feature can be set to Diatonic Math, which can greatly facilitate creating harmonies or building chords.

Thanks for your contribution to my post, Chappel.

Here's my "Guitar Lady" featuring guitars (of course) with a small orchestra providing backing.

Maybe for you. I tried my hand at something different from the usual rock rhythm section stuff I usually do a few years ago and it was a struggle. Here it is on YouTube.

Not bad at all.  It is a bit lengthy, but otherwise it is interesting and creative.

I admire your ability to do the You Tube bit.  I have never tried doing visuals.

Maybe I can learn some video techniques from you...if you can teach and old dog new tricks.

Keep up the good work.

Y'all All,

From my extensive collection of works, 'Songs Without Words', this is my latin-flavored "Sem Palavras"  (Without Words).

Very nice Larry.

How would it sound with a barrel organ??  🙂

I don't know.  I don't think that I want to find out.

My brother and I like to listen to old funk records from the 70's - we enjoy them.  

Cool composition Larry - cheers.

I am pleased that you and your sibling like my "Big Band...".

I appreciate the listen.

That's an "interesting" chart.  I don't agree with all aspects of it.   

Thanks for posting it.

I was a member of my school brass band and played cornet, trumpet and tenor Horn.
Where I come from in Cheshire England brass bands are a tradition.

England has some great brass bands and I really enjoy their music.

Thank you, young chap, for responding.

Here's my "Five Thirty-Nine" featuring the Steinway Model D piano with small orchestra.

There is no mystery concerning the title.  It is simply the timing of the piece.

(I'm running out of titles.)
