Classical Music for Writing

There's nothing like songs and music to transport the mind to a different place or era.

What do you listen to while you work? I don’t like hearing noises from outside or from other parts of the house while I’m writing.  It gets in the way of my concentration. I usually have one of these playing on my laptop. Loud enough to block out unwanted noise but quiet enough not to disturb me. Sometimes, I play songs to suit the setting of a scene or chapter I’m writing, to help me with…

Hear me out, all nations have beautiful and enchanting voices

But only when they are singing their own peoples folk songs

“They will turn me in your arms into a wild wolf,

but hold me tight and fear me not, I am your own true love,”

The ballad of Tam Lin (Child 39) is one of my all time favorite songs/folk stories. I find it to be such a fascinating glimpse at how stories change over such long periods of time. This piece was mostly inspired by the Anaïs Mitchell cover, but I also am quite fond of the Fairport Convention version as well.

Miguel loves to sing, and is amazing at it. He has a strong, deep voice, thick like molasses. It comes straight from his chest and could rattle the picture frames on walls.

Peter and Jess sometimes walk in on him singing. They always freeze and keep themselves hidden around a corner so they can listen without embarrassing him

Hobie always waits and jumps out, then tells him he sounds great

Unrequitedly ( demo 1)

Just a simple Sea Shanty I wrote about unrequited love. The song goes on and on to this day.

A white moon drifts across the shimmering sky, Mute arbitress of all thy sad, thy rapturous threnody. She does not heed thee, wherefore should she heed, She knows Endymion is not far away, ’Tis I, ’tis I.
