Music Composers:  The Essentials



Music Composers

 
Wikipedia: Composer
"A composer is a person who creates musical art, usually in the medium of notation which is then interpreted and performed by musicians.

The level of distinction between composers and other musicians also varies, which affects issues such as copyright and the deference given to individual interpretations of a particular piece of music. For example, in the development of European music, the function of composing music initially had no greater importance than the function of performing music. The preservation of individual compositions received little attention, and musicians generally had no qualms about modifying compositions for performance. "

Creates original music that is appropriate for the production. This individual usually supervises musicians to insure that the music is integrated and played as conceived

    Unknown Composers Page
    "On the following pages you can find information on composers of classical music. "Is this really necessary?" you may ask. "Aren't there thousands of pages already on this subject?" Yes, I think so. So, what I am trying to do here, is to provide information on those composers who are nearly forgotten. Very often neither the composers nor their music is responsible for their neglect. There was so much good music composed through the centuries (and still is) that it's impossible for a single person to listen to all of it, so we've got to choose. But too often we stick to the standard repertoire and reduce the history of classical music to the same "big" names like Bach, Beethoven and Mozart"

    Hearing and Writing Music - Author: Ron Gorow
    Review By Bernard Brandt

       "Hearing and Writing Music", by Ron Gorow, is a superb book. It makes a simple and elegant presentation of the internal process by which we hear sounds and music, how we recognize intervals, chords, melody, harmony, counterpoint, and the timbre of instrumentation/ orchestration, how we can develop the skills of listening, auditory memory and imagination, and how to use these skills to hear and to write down music of any sort. 

       The hallmark of an expert is the ability to explain the basics of his field as simply as possible. By that standard, Mr. Gorow has proven his expertise in this book. I note that the other reviews, both for Amazon and in musical journals, tend to limit the importance of "Hearing and Writing Music" to ear training. I believe that Mr. Gorow's book is valuable for much more than ear training. I have studied it, and as a result of that study, I believe that my auditory memory and imagination and my abilities in score reading have improved enormously. 

       Further, I have been able to use the skills in this book to transcribe melodies, harmonies and counterpoint almost effortlessly, both those that I have heard, and those which existed only in my imagination. This book has opened many doors for me. I believe that it can do so for many others. 

       On a personal note, for the last 30 years, I have been able to hear and compose music in my imagination. Unfortunately, I have been almost exclusively self-taught, and I despaired of ever being able to write down what I heard. Mr. Gorow's book, and my use of it, has changed all that. I have just completed the first movement of a symphonic tone poem, and I intend on continuing to compose for the rest of my life. 

       I have studied many books on music theory, and have listened to and studied many pieces of music. If I may make an analogy, my studies had formed the equivalent of a crystalline solution. "Hearing and Writing Music" was the equivalent of a seed crystal, which put everything into order, and transformed me from a listener to a composer. 

       I cannot recommend it highly enough for those who wish to become songwriters, arrangers, or composers, or those who wish to improve their skills.
