Composition: 'Tis the Season
Why do you like to compose?
I like to compose because the opportunity to create something is one that I seize whenever possible. I have always loved to be a creator rather than someone who simply uses what others have already created. While the works of other composers are not bad in any way, I find an appreciation in my own music that is unique to my compositions, a feeling that I cannot achieve through the music of others.
