Download or read book Composition Toolbox written by Brandon Nelson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I've been in your shoes. Staring down a blank piece of manuscript paper, deadline approaching, and no idea how to proceed. As a kind of "insurance policy" against these periodic dry spells, I began to collect different ideas when they came to me and socking them away. (Some have actually turned into my more successful pieces!) That collection of ideas grew over the years into this book. Some of these "prompts" describe a general spirit or direction of a potential piece; others are more prescriptive. The point is to get that pen moving again! Composers of all backgrounds will find something stimulating in these pages!

Download or read book Nelson Riddle written by Geoffrey Littlefield and published by Grosvenor House Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-26 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This book is about one of my all-time heroes, Mr Nelson Riddle. It makes for fascinating reading and I am enjoying it very much.' SIR MICHAEL PARKINSON NELSON RIDDLE was possibly the greatest; one of the most successful arrangers in the history of American popular music. He worked with global icons such as Peggy Lee, Judy Garland and many more. And in a time of segregation and deep racial tensions in the US, he collaborated with leading black artists such as Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald, forming close, personal friendships with both. He also wrote successful TV themes and Oscar-winning film scores. A complex and often forlorn genius, he will forever be remembered for his immortal work with FRANK SINATRA, but like fine wines his later vintage was just as palatable, if somewhat of a surprise.
