Hello Bear You will recall that several years ago I bought you a domain name for a website and advised you about building a site.
I notice that it has now lapsed and opportunities are being missed. Time and recognition is fast passing. No one can actually find you. In return you kindly sent me a large package of your music. While most interesting and professional it proved too difficult for me even to read, let alone play it. I have no appreciation of the quality of its musical content, Can I second the previous posters and urgently advise you to have a proper website built. With your compositions available to be listened to on line as mp3 audio files. So that listeners can form a reasonable understanding of the quality of your work. For the most of us, all we know about it is from your posted descriptions on this list, giving verbal details of form and construction. We need to actually listen to them. As do your prospective publishers. This could also be an excellent Shop Front to widely advertise your music when it is eventually published. I myself use Sibelius software, and most of my compositions can be immediately listened to on my website. Not to mention the considerable amount of available free downloads. I am sure that this approach would be very much to your advantage. It certainly works for me. If the quality of your work is up to acceptable standard, musicians will flock to your site time and time again, as they are doing to mine. I can confirm that this approach works in terms of subject dissemination. Look at the visitor counters. Personally my line of interest is very specialized, entirely for the unaccompanied player. Yours may well be both for the individual instrumentalist and also for the orchestral fraternity. To this end it might be to your advantage to subscribe to a wide range of music groups. So come on, Bear, let us all actually hear what you have to offer. I know the whole List would look forward to it. And it just might attract THE publisher.
