COMPOSER NEEDED

Hello Everyone,

I apologize if this is the wrong place to put this kind of post. I was told that this is probably the right place

I want the music to have a VERY modern sound and it to be preformed in a modern way. Just some examples of composers I have in my head: SHOSTAKOVICH, SHOENBERG

I guess you are right. That is not VERY modern. I do not know too many modern composers. But those names came to my head... I am sorry...

You don't need to be SORRY :P

Also, Shostakovitch and Schoenberg aren't too similar.

Try to PM Christopher Dunn-Rankin: he's the best modern composer over here.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm flattered to be called the best modern composer here. Thanks M!

And Peter, I have some idea of your requirements now, so if you send me the stuff via e'mail, I'll get to working on them.

If you go to my profile and click "e'mail me" that should work fine. If not, PM, and I'll send you my address.

At the risk of taking too much onto my plate musically, I'd be interested in setting a poem or two. PM me, I may not remember to check this thread. Were you wanting more atonal music, or along the lines of Shostakovich's more tonal works? Also, rather than handing me a poem, it would be helpful for me to be able to pick - that way, I get a poem for which I have sufficient inspiration.

Pardon my elitist attitude, but since when is 13 poems a lot of writing? Even I don't think I've written a lot, and I've written over twenty plays, fifteen short stories, a book, and various libretti! Unless they're epic poems like Ballad of Reading Gaol or the Illiad. Both of which should become an oratorio and an opera, respectively.

Wait...have you met Morivou? He needs a librettist and you need a composer! But you're a poet, not a librettist...grr. Well you can branch out.

Hmmm....Im always interested in setting poems as well. Pm or email me if you are interested. I have only one of my works posted on this forum but if you are interested to listen to it check out the thread called "metamorphosis" under Chamber works.

Hi there,

If you are still looking for a composer, here is the link to my samples. There are 15-20 second samples of various styles; just fast forward to the next if one does not interest you. For more info please contact me at ynazarian@hotmail.com.

Thank you, and happy holidays

Hello!

My name is Stephen and I am a young composer, currently awaiting publishment of my latest choral work "Mayenziwe" from Earthsongs Inc. I am, jointly, looking for a lyricist, I cannot write words for the life of me!

To place my work in retrospect, my compositions retain the simplicity of Mozart melody, but a fullness of Puccini philharmonic. My definition of "modern" styling is a contemporary melody in a classical frontier. My classical training dictates this styling, and my compositions are fruits of this medium.

Feel free to e-mail me a sample poem at jamminpiano@yahoo.com and I shall render a composition to it, sending you back the full protoype in a Finale audio file. Upon receiving, you may decide if I am an endeavor worth pursuing.

Thank you and I hope this works out!
