Choral Composition Consulting

April 15, 2019 by haroldlrosenbaum Leave a Comment

A new initiative by Dr. Harold Rosenbaum, one of America’s leading authorities on contemporary choral music.

About Choral Composition Consulting:
Since the initial look of your score, including size of notes, and general layout needs to make a favorable and lasting impression upon potential conductors, Dr. Rosenbaum will offer comments and suggestions, with the goal of making it appear more user friendly and thus more appealing to conductors, who will not have to waste their valuable time wondering about your intentions, and having to alter and/or fix confusing and questionable notation. Issues and areas of concern he will address include underlay, breath marks, ranges, divisions, proper indications of dynamics and other expression marks, and other technical issues.

What will NOT be addressed by Dr. Rosenbaum in his feedback:
• The composer’s talent or level of competency
• Compositional style, structure and form
• Assessment of the quality of the work itself
• Suggestions about how you proceed, i.e., to whom to send your revised score, professional and career development, and the like.

Cost:
The cost will be $50 per each work up to 5 minutes in length, $75 up to 8 minutes in length, and $100 up to 10 minutes of length. Works beyond that will require a negotiation.
