The life of an instrumental music composer is a fascinating one. From capturing emotions and concepts without words to collaborating with filmmakers, there’s so much to explore. I’m honored to share an outstanding conversation with David Rosen all about instrumental music.
The quote for this episode is by Aubertine Woodward Moore: “Wonderful is the power of instrumental music, absolute music without words, that may convey impressions, deep and lasting, no words could give.” During our conversation, David and I chat about the life of an instrumental composer, painting a picture and telling a story through instrumental music, conveying emotions without using words, scoring instrumental music for film and TV, collaborating with filmmakers, composing instrumental albums, focusing on concepts for instrumental projects, giving thought to the emotion and colors of the musical landscape in commercial genres, titling instrumental music, the point that instrumental music leaves room for interpretation, the importance of loving our own music, the desire to see our music grow, producing music videos for instrumental music, and much more. I loved having David on the show for such a fascinating conversation, so I hope you enjoy getting a glimpse into the world of instrumental music.
