Custom Music Composition I would
be pleased to write some special music to add a unique memory to your
important day, such as a wedding, a birthday, a graduation party, or even a
funeral. You can listen to all my music here at my website. This will give
you an idea of the range of styles I can work in and the quality of the
recordings I can produce for you. I can
provide sheet music for a live performance (finding the musicians is up to
you) or a CD of a lifelike computer-generated recording using high-quality sampled
instruments. The computer option does not permit vocal parts. You may
specify the style, the mood, the length, and the sort of ensemble I should
compose for, anything from a simple piano piece to a symphony orchestra.
Naturally I need to know these details with sufficient time before the event,
depending on the scale of the composition. As work progresses, I can give you
samples to be sure I'm composing something to your liking. I do not
offer arrangements of material already under copyright by other artists. I
can set a public-domain text to original music. I retain
the copyright on all music I provide. You and your guests are welcome to keep
CDs of the music, provided my name and copyright appear on the label. I charge
$50 per minute of music per instrument. I charge only once for repeated
measures; this does not apply to an original song with multiple verses.
Two-handed instruments, like pianos, organs, and harps, count as two
instruments. For instance, my
Alma Mater
for organ is about 1:30 excluding repeats, so a similar work would cost $150. The
Wedding Waltz is a bit over 3:00 for five-part string orchestra
and would cost $750. I expect
a nominal down-payment before I start work. Complete payment is due when I
deliver the finished piece. |
