What Are The Best Originals You Have Done?
What is the best originals you have done? is a question asked by Just Plain Folks to musicians and composers. My library of compositions is small, but growing. I selected three compositions I can identify as favorites. Does this represent my best work? I would have to analyse each composition to determine what is my best, so I will just name three as my favorites.
Black Heroes was copy written in 1999, and a tribute to those who speak-out and act on behave of African-American people. Black Heroes is not only a tribute piece to Black American heroes such as Dr. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, but to my father, grandfather, uncles, teachers, and all who have been a major influence in my life. Stylistically Black Heroes is a free-flowing mid-tempo piece. Black Heroes can be found on Creative Tradition`s "Do I Have To Live Like This?" CD recording.
Michigan in winter can be brutal! However, there are times during winter when God smiles on us, and blesses our state with beautiful days during the season. February Spring is a composition written on a beautiful day in February. This piece is written in three quarter time, and builds with great energy. You can find February Spring on "Do I Have To Live Like This?", and Keith Gamble`s "Meaning, Truth, and Understanding" CD recordings.
There is no romantic story I can share with you on What Am I Waiting For. Just like many composers I began writing What Am I Waiting For sitting at a piano. As I continued, my investment in time and emotion grew. What Am I Waiting For features a flowing and singable melody, with a pronounced bass line. This piece goes back and forth from swing to a highly creative interpretation.
Again, Black Heroes, February Spring, and What Am I Waiting For are just three of my favorites I have penned. Of course every composition I composed is special to me. The three I have chosen to mention are wonderful pieces you should hear, and I think you will agree.
