Welcome to my blog

I have created this site in order to provide performers, listeners and composers with a description of a composer's experiences with the creative process. The posts will provide discussions of the inspirations, challenges, and successes of a composer from the inception of the piece to the culmination in performance. I will provide a link to where you can see and hear the works in progress. Comments and questions are always welcomed. They will not posted unless you grant me permission.

My future blogging

Hi everyone,

I have doing my blog for over four years and I have very little idea whether what I am doing is worthwhile to my readers. I have received very few comments during that time period. It takes a great deal of time to write about my composing process and to create the necessary files to illustrate what I am writing. Therefore, I am going to post less often and my posts will be about general composition subjects, unless I hear otherwise from my readers. I will go into details about my composition process only when those I am composing for request it.

At present, I am composing a composition for piano called Time Travel Phantasie. It is based on A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. I am also working on getting an opera for middle school performers that I wrote in 1979 into Sibelius notation. I have also revised my website to make it mobile friendly and to have automatic downloads of my pdf files.

As you can see, I have been very busy and will continue to be so.

I hope to hear from you regarding my future plans for this blog.

Dr. B

I find that many of my own blog posts prove their value over the long term. You have given some great insights here into your process on individual compositions, and those may be very useful to future performers of your works, who may find their way here via Google searches.
