Very nice trumpet. Nice rendition. I like it.

The lower register of the brass section sounds especially good!

Good job! In case you didn't already see it, here is a nice performance on the dublin airport of it on YouTube: http://youtu.be/ltBX_AhuaWc

Superb work on sequencing and mix!!   Wow.

This one of my favorite pieces of all time and you did Mr. Copland justice with this rendition. Very well done!

Looking for a piece to use in a Cooperstown Baseball Hall of Fame (Short Doc) Film....I would love to use this one, Sir...How do I go about getting your permission?

This is a joyful celebration of the beautiful state of Utah and its history with LDS pioneers leaving religious persecution behind and coming out to "the tops of the mountains."  It includes a salute to Brigham Young's declaration that  "This is the place!" upon their arrival at Salt Lake Valley, and a nod to the great LDS hymn that ends with "All Is Well!"

Epic, heroic, majestic orchestral track. Powerful, soaring, rousing and glorious, it conveys determination, heroism, optimism and achievement.

This is a recording of my best-selling piece, performed by one of my fabulous students I was privileged to know in my college teaching.  ...And yeah, that's him on all eight parts, through the magic of music technology. Thanks, Scott Anderson!

I thought this would be a good time to post this. Happy Birthday USA! This fanfare originated during WWII and has an interesting history if you wish to research it. I hope you enjoy. Comments are always welcome :)

Awhile ago someone posted a MIDI orchestration of this and I thought it would be a great exercise to try out a brass library. Simply download the MIDI file and orchestrate it...NOT. It turns out the available MIDI files are full of mistakes from note lengths to actual wrong notes so I referred to the score and found also that contemporary renditions (including performances in which I participated) do not respect the sostenuto character indicated in the original score with too many empty spaces. So I have prepared a performance that I think Copeland may have liked.

For the technical-minded, I used EWQL SO Platinum brass (A legato problem was exposed in the brass and solved for the most part by zooming way in and using Expression to soften the attack) and percussion with 2 mic positions and the So-Cal hall with the reverb turned up higher than normal as this piece demands a large space. I also added a bit of Acoustica Pro Reverb to tie it together and  in the slap-back echo near the end added more verb by sticking the brass in a submix and adding more verb to that spot. EQ amounted to cleaning up the bass and slightly darkening the trumpets and horns so they didn't get irritating in the higher velocities.  Slight compression with 5orcery. Anything I do to try to improve it makes it worse so I'll call it DONE

Copland: Fanfare for the Common Man

Welcome. I'm an old musician and a young composer. I hope you enjoy my offerings. Comments are always welcome. 

Some of my tracks may seem to soft compared to what is considered 'normal' these days (e.g. Threnodic Sketches). In those I have opted for dynamic range instead of overall loudness. To receive the best overall effect on those tracks, move to the loudest part of the wave form and reset your player volume so it is just below excruciating ;) Then the rest will fall into proper relation.

As of Jan 2022, where applicable, I am uploading 2 versions of my files, the usual highly processed Commercial Version, and a Dynamically enhanced Audiophile Version. Follow the directions on those tracks for best listening experience.
