Rondo Form

Rondo form is basically a slightly more advanced version of ternary form.  Instead of two themes, there are three.  This means that instead of the structure being ABA as in ternary form, the structure is ABACABA.  When a theme is repeated, for a second, third or fourth time, a variation may be made to make it more interesting.  An example of this could be ABA2CA3B2A4.

Example of Rondo Form: Beethoven's Third Symphony in E Flat, 2nd Mvt.

Publishing

By Everett -
If you came to this section in hopes that it would explain publishing of a book, you have been let down. This section only talks about the mysteries of publishing mainly concert band music. First have a pretty good piece of music, that you're sure people would want to play. Possibly have a teacher or older band student edit it to make sure it's playable: it sounds good, and is easy enough to play for the targeted performers. Note: I would recommend having about six pieces ready to go. You can only send each piece to one publisher at a time; if they find out you've sent it to someone else, they may not ever do business with you again. Also, if both publishers like it, then you have to admit to both of them that you broke the rules. Now you lost out on both of those publishers. When you find a publisher that will publish something , you have a better chance with doing business with them in the future. Find that publisher can be a slow going process, so sending out more th...

List of Works

This is a list of everything I've ever written or arranged. There is another page of music that is perform-able Scores, complete with covers are available for these songs. You can view these songs on the main music page. I have most of the music that I have written, available to download. They are in midi and mp3, pdf, and or scorch, format. I don't have any of the music I've written from before 2008, but I'm working on it. Eventually, I will have everything I've ever written. Check back later for more. I just finished Triumphant March. Right now I'm working on Summer Camp, a song about my experiences being a staff at Camp Imagination this year. I'm also working on The Kronos Suite .

New Plans for Music-Update

By Everett -
I've been thinking over ideas for new compositions, recently and thought I'd share them. Summer Camp I've actually started, and am well into the composition process of, this song, but since it has not yet been released to the public yet, I'll mention it here.  The inspiration of this piece came from a wonderful experience I had being a leader at Camp Imagination , my church's summer camp.  The main part of the piece is fast passed, and filled with fun.  The ecstatic percussion greatly contributes to the fun atmosphere.  Towards the middle of the piece, the tempo slows down.  This melodic ballad section is to show how lives, of the leaders as well as the kids, were changed by Camp Imagination.  For the finale, tempo picks back up, and returns to the opening, fun theme. Currently I am about one third of the way through this song, and tt might be possible to include this song in the 2012 catalouge.   Freshman Band A ...
