Carei F. Thomas New Book: "Compositions and Concepts"
I am happy to announce the publishing of my book representing 40+ years of my composing
life. The title is "Compositions and Concepts." It includes over 170 original songs,
explanations of my methodologies, some of my philosophy, graphic compositions, synth-choral
works and studies.
You can see details at http://www.musicbycarei.com/
Besides my website, the book is also available on
Amazon
and can be ordered from the Common
Good Bookstore on Selby
Avenue in St. Paul, Minnesota
About the Book
I love composing, performing and sharing out of the midst of living and align myself
with a cause and effect philosophy, exemplifying process and product as one and
concluding the journey and destination are the same.
There have been many stages in my development with my compositions going back and
forth conceptually from simple songs, to investigations of complex methodologies,
to experimentation with mathematical and visual paradigms. This pendulum motion
supports my idea of carrying history forward while uniting that which was with the
ever-present possibilities of "now time." The purpose of this design is to push
new musical ideas forward while keeping history alive.
I hope some of what I have presented in this book will spark other theorists to
look at their own historically unique concepts and help them see how their contributions
enrich their colleagues and communities. For those of you who play these compositions/songs,
please make them your own. They are formally mine, but use them as ways to express
your own connection to the universe.
Please check out the information. You will be getting a very unique book with years
of living in it.
Thank you.
