GUEST,leeneia Tune Add: Writing New Tunes (15) RE: Tune Add: Writing New Tunes 25 Mar 16


I listened to them all and did not notice any subliminal plagiarism.

I like your tunes, Peter. Well done.

I see that you have copyrighted them. Does that mean you expect anyone who wants to play the tune to pay you? If so, how?

If you are not fussy about that, I can think of one way to get your music known, and that is to have a dance composed to go with the tune and to introduce it to the country dance community. Sorry, I can't provide details.

When I say 'country dance,' I include English country dance, Scottish dance, Irish dance, and Contra. A friend just told me about a new kind, "easier than contra," but I can't remember the name of it. Maybe another catter will know.

As for constructive criticism, I have one thought. Most of your tunes sound like fiddle tunes, with lots of eighth notes. Watch out for having too many eighth notes in a row. People need to breath and to think.
