Wonderful work! It’s nice to know that there are others composing in this sort of style. Far too often, I find composers like us (in my own experience) tend to be disregarded as us trying to be Mozart (F those people anyway). I myself have a KZbin channel and post my music. It’s in a similar style as this, but with other elements such as African dance rhythms (borrowed from my time working with musicians over there, long story) and hints of rock/metal during the darker moments.

Thanks very much. I agree, too often historicists are written off, especially by academia, and it just isn't fair. Fortunately, that seems to be changing gradually.

@Perotinus1 thank you very kindly! And yes, I am interested in the trombone. James Hampson commissioned a sonata of me for corno da tirarsi (slide horn) a couple of years ago - a video of it is to be found on my KZbin site. If you listen to it, let me know what you think. Mr. Hampson was pleased with it. Thank you again.

I'm very pleased that you do! It's true, viola/violoncello duets don't exactly grow on trees, and I'm glad I could add something substantial to the repertoire. If you want a score/parts, look me up (J. Lee Graham) on IMSLP, and you'll find it there..

Wonderful stuff. Quite Mozartean in flavor. If it is possible for your score/playback system to break out the organ part? I'd be happy to have a real sampled instrument render those parts for you. Whatever played back your score uses a cartoon of a (portative) organ (emphasis on 2' pitch) that seems to go out of tune (sharp?) at the upper part of its compass. Also, the playback system doesn't seem to understand that portative organs (used for continuo) use teracced dynamics, adding stops (usually upper pitches) to increase volume.

Beuatiful! Nice modulations. I think it would work a little bit better if the tempo was a tad slower. In Note-Performer you have different registrations you can choose for, so if organ-plenum is not your thing, than choose a delightful 8' flute...
@JLeeGraham Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the tips! I had no idea there were options. Ideally for Austrian-style music like this, an 8' and 4' flute would work best. I'll check it out!

Gorgeous. So lovely to have the buoyant 6/8 time signature. C major is graceful and happy in your hands! My only quibble is with whatever rendered the score for you. The organ is hideous above G above middle C. I'll need to see if there is a way to rig up Grand Orgue or Hauptwerk into your sequencer so you have real pipe sounds at your command.
@JLeeGraham Жыл бұрын
Thank you! And I agree, no organist in his/her right mind would use that registration. Not sure if it's a mixture in there, or just the 4' being too high, but it's not what I would have wished.

I love 3:15 and on, you can start to hear Bolcom's boredom and seething hatred for life shine through. He just starts mashing notes together, the song gets blurry and painful. He jams in completely unmusical notes to otherwise fine chords because he's bored with what he's written and is filled with self hatred. He almost had a perfect piece of music, but that page will always permanently ruin it. That's when the piece starts to sound more like the true Bolcom - insane rags where where his self loathing leads him to create messes of the music.
