NOTE: The Symphonies of Gustave Mahler are
a force of titanic music creativity. Young
composers aspire to have his personal, at times
intense, music creation skills. There is so much a
composer can learn from Mahler. He was conductor in
Vienna and New York Philharmonic(s). He
intimately knew the creative capacities of each
musical instrument. His imagination was a very
personal exploring of his own life. Composers:
please listen with your heart and your creative
critical faculties. Enjoy!

We bring you CELLO WARS! A result of 6 months of
production…our most ambitious undertaking by far! Why
Star Wars Cello? Because of our unending admiration of
George Lucas, John Williams, and the most EPIC movies
and film score ever created. The idea originated when
Tel Stewart was editing THE CELLO SONG here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry4Bzo….
As a joke he decided to add light sabers to Steven
Sharp Nelson’s bow during the outtakes. Fans cried out
for more. Al van der Beek and Steven Sharp Nelson
storyboarded the song and the video concept while they
were scouting locations for MOONLIGHT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRVvFY….
But it was Steven Sharp Nelson’s son Eli (6) that was
the true inspiration for the project — his enthusiasm
for Star Wars, light sabers, and watching his daddy
wield one while playing cello fueled the project
continually.

In this clip from http://www.artistshousemusic.org
– Jim Ellis, a musician and composer based in
Atlanta, GA, explains why a professional musician
needs to learn music theory in order to have a
successful career, and how theory, combined with
well-trained ears, can help you understand
arranging, part-writing, and song structure on a
much deeper level than otherwise.

Andrew Wasson of
Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers
question...
Q: For me, the basics
of music are something I feel that I have
developed. I both understand and can play lot's
of; chords, scales and arpeggios. My problem
however, is this; when I am composing, what music
theory say's is technically correct hardly ever
sounds good to me. Could you make a lesson that
covers how to compose with more of a practical
approach to theory, independent of all of the
technical sides of music-theory. I don't want to
abandon music theory, just begin working in a way
that doesn't have me critically dependent upon
theory all of the time.
- Thomas, Tampa, Florida.
A: When I teach
composing, I always stress that one of the very
first things to learn is how to build on a theme.
Theme's are melodic hooks that create a coherence
in a phrase. There are many ways to build a theme,
but the most basic way is to repeat something to
create a form of melodic or harmonic
identification for the listener.

took
the history of the whole universe to lead to
the life of one person; if there is life in
that person, there is life in the universe
they came from, just like if there is life
in the tree, there is life in the leaf.
Therefore the deepest part of everyone is
the life of the whole universe that they are
an extension of. Find this cosmic life in
yourself and let your freedom be as wide as
the universe. The universal story that leads
to all life shares the same point of origin,
the same beginning of the story. Therefore,
we are all different versions of the same
cosmic life, the same ancient story, and the
more we see this cosmic beauty in others,
the more we realize it in ourselves because
it is the same.

In this clip from www.artistshousemusic.org - On
Sunday, December 12, 2004, Hank Jones gave a master
class produced by John Snyder of Artists House
Foundation and David Schroeder of the NYU jazz
department. This was one performance filled with
vitality. Hank now in his eighties, is still touring
(recently returning from Japan) arrived bursting
with energy and after a long day, was still going
strong as he chatted with the jazz students which he
had performed and instructed that day. Hank Jones,
brother of Elvin Jones (the drummer) and Thad (the
cornetist), was born 1918 in Mississippi and raised
in Michigan. He was influenced by performers Fat
Waller, Earl Hines and Art Tatum and is known for
his distinctive swinging style. Hank's first gig was
with Hot Lips Page band in 1944, a job Lucky
Thompson (the saxophonist) got him. Hank worked as a
freelancer with artists such as Artie Shaw, Milt
Jackson, Benny Goodman and Julian Cannonball
Adderley. Later Hank joined CBS working as a studio
musician for 17 years, working on such programs as
The Ed Sullivan Show. Jones also was a member of his
brother's co-led orchestra with Mel Lewis beginning
in 1966. Because of Jones unique and versatile
style, he can be found on many recordings. He has
also played piano duos with such greats as Tommy
Flanagan, George Shearing and John Lewis
