Jack's Musical Corner

[Jack I]

I'm sure a few people probably noticed I've still been lurking lately, and I thought I would share why. I've been working on updating my Userpage here at POF to show partially why I left and haven't been here near as much as I used to be. Recently I acquired a program known as Finale, which allows me to compose and arrange music for various ensembles.

Why? Well...
I enjoy music very much so, and while not my original reason for leaving (that shall be left unstated), it is the reason I decided not to return to my position as a mod. As I still am a member of the community here, and it is nice to share some of your talents with the communities that you are a part of, I thought I would share mine. I have written either for practice, or for local ensembles in the area that have requested me to do so.

As for the page itself...
It's not got much to it right now. It has a very outdated banner which I plan to replace, restates the above paragraph, explains my status of copyright and ownership, and has only on of my original works. I will be adding more original works in due time, but for legal reasons will be withholding all arrangements at this time.

I know this may not interest everyone, but I will say that I do write a wide variety of music that is open to a wide audience of people. I have written Marching Band Arrangements, Chamber Orchestra Arrangements, and even a few Piano Ballads as of to date. I do plan to write other styles too (maybe break into some good ol' rock), but yet lack the knowledge needed to write for guitar and such yet.

So, without further ado, my Music page: http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...in&userid=2653
