A composition for my Patreon patron, Margie Gilmore, intended to sound like a relaxing wake-up ringtone. I used the letters of the name of Margie and her husband, Mike, to create the melody. Special thanks to harpist Shana Norton for reviewing the score.
This little viola duet also works nicely transcribed for two violins or two cellos—though it then sounds like some pretty big geese! I'm also planning to do another one that is more "Glass-ian" in its minimalism. https://twitter.com/HomeFloating/status/1447960204096598017
"Sky in Motion" was composed using the notes EEBEAD—which come from the name "Sepehr"—& has 2 primary interrelated melodies. I'm VERY proud of the craft that is evident in their creation, & I LOVE this piece.
In preparing my new podcast discussing melodies, the topic of course has me examining my own.
Considering that I start the creation of my melodies using the letters of names or phrases—an essentially random starting point—I'm proud of the results and the craft I put into them…
