First you'll hear a short interview with Jay, the 11-year-old composer.Indysolo, please make the url shorter.

Marian Schedenig 8,085 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Alex, here's how you do it.Brilliant. Alex asks you to shorten his URL so it doesn't make the board wider than it should be...and then you come along and post the explanation along with the same long URL, so the board stays too wide.Marian - LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisAfonso 186 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I don't see where the problem is, the URL gets broken off into the next line and the board is as wide as always.On Topic: Very interesting, that piece. Has a certain simplicity in the theme, but he writes interesting harmonies and a quite tought out development of his theme. I hope some more clips of his music will surface on the net.

David Coscina 3 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Very impressive for his age. Some of his treatment of the Dies Irae recalls Tiomkin's "It's a Wonderful Life" though. But heck, at 11, he's off to a heck of a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morn 8 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Wonder what he'd be like as a film composer . . .Erich Wolfgang Korngold was writing symphonies at age 11. Hmm, he hadn't written 5 at that age though!Anyway, film music could sure use a talent like his. Maybe it will forful john williams prophecy of a genius coming along to popularize film music with the musical intellectual community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry B 50 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Interesting thing about "Bluejay" - he never revises. According to the interview on 60 Minutes, everything comes out "right" the first time, unless his pencil snaps or something. 60 also featured a clip of Bluejay's Juliard professor cautioning against this extreme compositional confidence.

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Erich Wolfgang Korngold was writing symphonies at age 11.Actually he wrote no symphonies until he was 55, and then only the one. However he had written many piano works by the age of 11. He did finish an incredible Sinfonietta by the age of 15. If anyone hasn't heard this yet go and find it NOW. It's great (and phenomenally advanced for one so young. Sounds like Mahler and Strauss in places!). The recording to go for is Matthias Bamert and the BBC Phil on Chandos.
