Composer: Jonathan Shaw (b.1995)
Date: 17th to 22nd December 2015
"‘Sunday’ was vastly different to ‘Monday’. Here, the influence was strictly from bell-ringing, insofar as even the tempo marking being a reference to a psalm. Not only did I try to use ionian for the entire piece, but I also attempted to constrain myself to construct everything from a single motif (figure 11)..."

What is this channel?
As a composer in the 21st century, I thought it might be interesting to catalogue and share on all of the projects I have undertaken, both for your own curiosity, but also for my own personal reflection on my development as a composer, and to some extent, a practitioner.
In short, this "C List" is the "Chronological List" for all of my major projects, including my own works, but also transcriptions and arrangements of other composer's works, educational tasks, and unfinished works that merit cataloguing.
For each of the works, I provide a reflection (a "reminiscence") about its context, how, and why I wrote it, as well as some analyses.
On some of these projects, I have recorded the entire compositional process itself, which again may offer some insight into compositional methods of 21st century music.

★Check out the library: https://www.jshaw.co.uk/rpg-orchestral-essentials
★README & Track List & Loop Data: https://bit.ly/30dHURb
A preview of a track from the RPG Orchestral Essentials (Reborn) music library; a collection of over 40 high-quality and royalty-free orchestral music tracks covering every essential theme suitable for RPGs, JRPGs and more!
RPG Orchestral Essentials (Reborn) is the sequel to the free RPG Orchestral Essentials (Legacy) music library. Reborn contains not only the entire Legacy library, but also 11 more tracks in addition to fully remastered recordings of the Legacy tracks, giving you 2 versions to choose from!
Each track loops seamlessly at least once in the recording, and then ends abruptly with natural trailing reverberation, allowing you to either set seamless loop points (using the suggested metadata values in the README above) or match the tracks to conclude dramatically with cutscenes.
