Lessons with Chicorelli.C


Recommended Posts

First of all, Thank you very much for accepting me as a student, Christopher Dunn-Rankin.

I am confident these lessons will be a valuable source of guidance and knowlagde that will help me manifest and notate musical creativity.

You should know I am a new composer and while inside my mind I have a few entire movements and pieces composed , the problem for me is the knowledge of how to notated my ideas. NOTATION !!

I have been trying to notate anything i hear lately to get practice but i don't know about all the expression and technique markings, tempo ect.. markings and language really.

This is my first official composition for classical guitar.

Take a listen and enjoy!

My first response to the notational stuff is that while I can certainly go through notation as we go through music, the best way of learning comprehensive notational practice is to get a sourcebook on music engraving. Music engraving was a required part of my college degree, and while most books focus on either the classical standard or a particular house-style of engraving, they provide a very good foundation for a) accurate and clear notation and b) altering said notation to your own purposes. I recommend The Art of Music Engraving and Processing by Ted Ross. It's got everything in it.

I'll listen to you piece later today and get back to you by tomorrow.

You are talking about the musical themes themselves, you mean developing a part to become more complicated or interesting correct?

I do, know how to do this and i feel that even though when themes repeat in this piece they are slightly altered and stay interesting, on the other hand there is allot of room for expansion or variation of these themes I Agree.

I agree that when the themes are restated they are altered enough to keep them interesting. I'm talking almost about micro-development; that is, taking a small motif from a theme and developing it into a section all of its own.
