Also another song I was working on a couple of months ago, finally got around to uploading it.

The song is called Theater Grand Stride and is to be the very last of my Theater March songs.



Also, I've played the organ much longer then I've 3d modeled. In total I've played the organ for about eight years now. Now that I'm getting some sheet music together though I'm going to try again, perhaps one of these days I might be in the history books like J.S Bach.


The bad thing about this point and time is I can't find a music publisher, since there aren't many these days looking for classical on organ.


...I don't know why this youtube posting tool isn't working suddenly, why does that problem remain around...

Why not setup your own website and publish your works yourself? Do you have Finale or one of the other publishing programs?

I have finale, but I can't afford to build a website, and plus if I could get the music published I'd like to hopefully get royalties from it selling.

There are lots of free websites available. You could advertise your works there with some demos and email the music in pdf format. I wrote for high school marching bands for years and that's what I did. Eventually I built up a group of clients and now I have more work than I can do.

One suggestion is to create five or six compositions of varying difficulties and styles before you create the website. You can do a "poor man's" copyright by sending yourself a printed copy by certified mail (so you have to sign for it) and file the envelope (labeled) unopened. The date it is handled by the US Postal Service will serve as proof of your date of composition.

If you would like a proofreader (not an organist), I would be glad to help.

I'll have to compose a couple more songs in the meantime.

There are hundreds of free hosting sites on the 'net, plus several freeware WYSIWYG editors to choose from.

There are hundreds of them.
I would start by Googling "free web hosting review", read a few recent reviews and pick one that has a good rep.
