While attending Trinity Christian College I wrote the soundtrack to the student theater production of “Tartuffe” in April 1997, Directed by Ken DeWyn. It is really great to revisit works that I have done over the years… now totaling over 250 pieces… Most of them are junk, but there are a few good things in there. This soundtrack would be one of them, I started writing music using FINALE in 1993. Using my ROLAND MT-32, which you will hear exclusively in the soundtrack. During the performance I hooked my computer and synth to the sound system and played the MIDI file “live.”
Set in the Baroque period I can’t say I like the use of the “Recorder” synth sound that I thought of as being “Clarinets” or “Oboes,” however the Organ and Harpsichord has a pretty good sound on the MT-32.
While recording these pieces, I had many “what was I thinking” moments… But I realize that is where I was in my development and it serves as a great reference to where I was and where I am going. We learn so much by where we’ve been…
