Composer's Corner

If you have actual compositions of your own making, or that you contributed to, then this is the place for posting those works.

 

For example, I contributed to some of the composition of this song for a dear friend in the Netherlands. I composed the vocals, bass and stringed instrumentation.

    Freedom

    by SwordmanJr

    This was a somewhat bland song that my friend Leon wasn't sure how to bring it even greater depth and substance, so I gave it some thought while listening to his base tune, and the Lord filled in the rest through the gifting He gave to me in music. I composed all the orchestral strings, deeper bass and backup vocals to go along with Leon's drums and guitars. This is why I really enjoy working collaboratively with other artists. Freedom

    Unshaken

    by SwordmanJr

    I dedicated this to my first wife who was murdered by doctors in one of those large corporation hospitals that would not allow any of the alternative medicines for treating COVID infections in the lungs that were already proving highly successful in clinics and hospitals down in Texas and other areas of the country.

    To Him Who Sits on the Throne

    by SwordmanJr

    Of all the old time gospel hymnals out there, this is one of my favorite, and I simply could not resist doing a remake composition with its own sound qualities using a water-piano sound distortion to the concert piano recording. The Bechstein piano recorded was borrowed since I absolutely could not afford one myself. To Him Who Sits on the Throne

    Mighty and Glorious

    by SwordmanJr

    The day I composed this one, I just had a feel for putting something together that was more up-beat and catchy, using some electric guitars along with some acoustics. The name was derived after the composition was complete and sound engineered. The base tune is from a demo for a studio sound device that I composed some enhancements for. The programmer for the device liked the result. Mighty and Glorious

    Dreams

    by SwordmanJr

    This is one that will have a span of effect, depending on the mood one is in. Other composers understand how our music is an expression through non-words. Some can sense it, some cannot. I hope this carries you to on the waves of what motivates dreams of great things. Dreams

    Flight

    by SwordmanJr

    The title is simple, but it expresses the serenity that flight can elicit when not having to deal with turbulence in the atmospherics around you. It's a rendition of an old tune that Aldo Nova did years ago, except that I did this on a cathedral pipe organ coupled together with strings. It has a majestic flow to it that I've always liked.

    Jet Flight

    by SwordmanJr

    The music in this video I composed before I had ever envisioned a use for the piece. I grabbed this video online, put it together with the song, and wah-lah, and audio-video production was made. Jet Flight

    Falling

    by SwordmanJr

    I worked this one with the Haim sisters. They were an upcoming band a few years ago, and still tour small venues every now and then across Western and Eastern Europe. The name pretty much sums up the reason for the encouragements they sang in their lyrics. I did the bass and other strings and backing voices in the remix. They really liked the dynamics I put into their tune. Falling

    With Your Piercing

    by SwordmanJr

    I composed and performed the instrumentation for this one, and had Gayle, a dear Christian friend over in Tennessee, write and sing the lyrics for the music. I let her have complete creative license for this one when it comes to lyrics. Finding real vocal and lyric writing talent out there who isn't out for instant fame and fortune, THAT has been the main problem I as a composer have been having. They all want Taylor Swift fame and fortune to their name and bank accounts rather than to work toward success. That's why my music projects pretty much came to a slow ebb a few years ago, waiting for some talent to come along who didn't have their heads i…

    Assaulting the Gates of Hell

    by SwordmanJr

    This was a fun piece to work through. I just had a hankering for something that had a marching type feel to it; the marching of a mighty army. Assaulting the Gates of Hell

    Spiritual Eclipse

    by SwordmanJr

    This composition of mine was based upon some sound experimentation I tried out with some sound engineering equipment and note dynamics I had not ever performed before. Spiritual Eclipse

    Mercy and Joy

    by SwordmanJr

    I composed and performed this song in its entirety. It has touched many minds and hearts with peace and helped some to enter into that sanctum of praise, which also helped, as some stated, get them to the place of worship they found hard to get into in the midst of the hustle and bustle of daily life. Mercy and Joy
