MUSICAL SERVICES
- Composition & Arrangement
Commissions and Special
Requests
Do you need a new composition to premiere in a special event, such as
aconcert, anniversary, birthday, dedication, to honor a loved one? A
simple song, music for one or more instruments, for choir, orchestra,
film, commercial, a CD project, music video? Here how it
works:
- 1. We meet in my music studio in Charlottesville
or talk by phone about your ideas and expectations, music style,
instrumentation, length, etc.
-
2. I compose the music and give you some choices.
-
3. I consider some of your feedback and finalize it.
As a composer, I work very fast and complete all composition and
arrangement commissions by the deadline. I can create beautiful and
lasting melodies. I play the organ, piano and classical guitar. I have
experience as an instructor of musical analysis, harmony,
counterpoint and fugue and I have experience as an orchestral and
choral
director that allows me to understand the voice and musical
instruments.
Is it worthy? Imagine if the music you
commission becomes part of the standard repertoire. Famous musicians
would perform it and your name would always be associated with the
music. If it doesn't, you'd have at least a beautiful memoir for
sharing with your relatives and friends. Art is priceless.
Can I afford it? My fees are very affordable, below the US national
average. I can send you that information so you can compare.
