FACTS ABOUT THE PICARDY THIRD, A THREAD:

FACT #1: When you have a chance to use a Picardy third and don’t take it, that’s called a Coward’s resolution.

@MusicOfLee I recently co-wrote and performed a piece for percussion, voice, and live electronics with @ElijahH14855316, and we learned a lot about the logistical undertaking of writing for and performing with synchronized electronics.

@piesaac I say, as I’m writing a piece right now having taken the opposite approach

[Gavin Tomasco @GavinTomasco]

@piesaac I’ve done both, but I tend to be more satisfied with my music if I approach it structurally first—I’ve found that approach lends itself to a more cohesive product

[Gavin Tomasco @GavinTomasco]

@griffincandey Congratulations!!!

@kincaid_rabb @Komaniecki_R I’m singing a concert with Whitacre tonight, I’ll show this to him.

@DrKenPiascik @BlackRiverMS @WeAreChesterNJ @ProfJPizzo Congratulations to all the musicians involved! I’m proud to see the continuing success of the exceptional music department at BRMS!

COMPOSING FACT: Writing fast music is bad, because it takes too many notes to make a piece long enough. Generally speaking, fast music is fake and a scam.

COROLLARY: Writing slow music is great. You put down like, 20 notes and it's a whole minute long. All music should be slow.

@ChrysantheTan I think @christophertin’s Sogno Di Volare is a near-perfect representation of flight!

I’m so excited for this collaboration between some of my favorite musicians ever! I love having the opportunity to watch the recording sessions, and I’m learning so much about this process. As an aspiring composer, these insights are invaluable and inspiring!
