Yes, I'm Fixing my Music Website Today! - A Composer's Life

What the website looked like this morning...
So for those of you who may have visited my music website today a few times, you might be wondering, "Uhm, like, what is with this site? It's like totally changing images, colors, fonts
background, etc. etc. etc....

Ok, so today I am fixing my website. I do this at least once a year, maybe more. If you are NEW to this site, then WELCOME! And I hope that all the changes don't cause a seizure since I am literally working on this...right....now...this...very...minute! 

So if you REFRESH the page, don't be surprised at some more changes! 


Well, WHY am I changing my Website???

My website needs to be functional. In other words, when a fan comes to this page looking for music, films, great music industry advice, whatever, they need to be able to find this info super fast...not fish around a thousand buttons to get it. So I am trying to simplify it. 

Also, after years and years of being a composer/professor and maintaining a "professional" (read BORING) website, I thought it was high time I just have some fun with this. After all, I'm a fun and goofy, very weird, and eccentric person. So yeah, my website should be a little fun and eccentric and strange, like me! 

I will continue having great content, music advice, films, and more for my returning fandom and new fans! Hopefully it will be easier to navigate and fun to check out! 

Smiles! 
Sabrina

Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. Kuwepo na viumbe hai tele kwenye maji, ndege waruke juu ya dunia katika nafasi ya anga Let the waters swarm with living creatures; let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.

Music Secrets: How to Write an Opera, Part 1

Feel like writing an opera is only for big name composers with big budgets? Or are you willing to take the plunge and create a work in one of the most compelling and cutting edge musical forms...an opera? Almost two years ago I embarked on the largest musical production I have created to date -  Libertaria: The Virtual Opera. After writing the award-winning Creation Oratorio and dozens of multimedia works, I wanted to combine my love of the audio and the visual into a single large scale work.  Find a Great Dramatic Story You need a strong story to write a compelling opera. Fortunately you can easily borrow from thousands of public domain works and modernize them. Think of West Side Story (just a contemporary version of Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet) .   Many great operas use Shakespeare, the Brothers Grimm , and Biblical stories, all of which include interesting characters, strong themes, and action.   Libertaria borrows heavily from messianic sto...
