“Going into high school, I did everything possible to avoid the performing arts. My vice principal called me into the office and said, ‘you can't have an open period. I'm gonig to put you in choir.' Within weeks, it became a life-changing experience for me – I discovered a community, a way to express myself. I knew by the end of my junior year in high school that this is what I wanted to do.” - Brandon Elliott“If you are coming as a conductor to composing, you already have a resource that a lot of composers lack. You know what your singers need. You have already identified a lack in the repertoire that you're looking for, something that you might fill as a composer. If you can get into that mindset with your own ensemble, you'll be so ready, so prepared to take that on for other groups.” - Dale TrumboreDale Trumbore is a Los Angeles-based composer and writer whose music has been called “devastatingly beautiful” (The Washington Post) and praised for its “soaring melodies and beguiling harmonies deployed with finesse” (The New York Times). Trumbore's compositions have been performed widely in the U.S. and internationally by Atlanta Master Chorale, the Chicago Symphony's MusicNOW ensemble, Conspirare and the Miró Quartet, Los Angeles Children's Chorus, Los Angeles Master Chorale, National Youth Choir of Scotland, Pasadena Symphony, Phoenix Chorale, and Seraphic Fire.Trumbore is the recipient of ACDA's inaugural Raymond W. Brock Competition for Professional Composers, an ASCAP Morton Gould Award, and a Chamber Music America Classical Commissioning Grant.

Episode Theme: Redefining your legacy through self-worth, empowered choice, and rewriting inherited narratives.In this heartfelt conversation at the Round Table, we explore how the stories we inherit—those passed down by family, culture, and societal expectations—shape how we see ourselves and what we believe we're allowed to dream.This episode is a gentle but powerful invitation to examine the stories that have held you back and to awaken to the truth that your legacy begins the moment you choose a new narrative.Through reflection, wisdom, and a grounding meditation, you'll learn how to step into your worth, break generational patterns, and create an impact that ripples far beyond you.3 Things you'll Learn:Recognizing inherited patterns: Learn how to identify stories and beliefs that were handed to you, not chosen by you—and how they've influenced your self-worth.Self-worth as the foundation of legacy: Your legacy is not about accomplishment alone. It's about how deeply you value your voice, your dreams, and your humanity.How to begin writing a new story: Practical, doable steps to build a life grounded in self-love—one choice, boundary, or act of courage at a time.Wisdom of the Week: You are not bound by the past. Every empowered choice becomes a thread in the legacy you are creating right now. When you hold your worth, you inspire others—your peers, your children, and even generations yet to come—to rise with you.Closing Ritual:Together, we practice Hakini Mudra, a gesture of unity and inner wisdom, repeating the mantra:“I am a woman of power and grace.”(Seven times, forming a field of resonance and intention.)Join Our CommunityIf this message resonates, join us in the Composing a New Narrative community—where women worldwide gather to rewrite their stories with courage, compassion, and joy.

Recently, I got to speak with the show's composer, Dara Taylor about how she went about creating the score for "Ironheart", which follows teen genius Riri Williams as she builds her own advanced armor and navigates grief, identity, and legacy, themes that Dara's music explores with striking depth and texture. Her score fuses distorted synths, trap percussion, and orchestral layers into a genre-bending sound that mirrors Riri's internal and external battles. One of the most moving elements: a real voicemail from Dara's late father as inspiration for the score, underscoring the show's emotional weight and Riri's connection to her own sense of loss. Dara is known for music that centres character and emotion, no matter the genre. She recently scored Universal's R-rated comedy "Strays", as well as the hit horror-thriller "The Invitation" and George Clooney's coming-of-age film "The Tender Bar". From irreverent comedy to supernatural horror to grounded drama, Dara brings a nuanced and contemporary voice to every project, and "Ironheart" is her most ambitious and personal work to date. The first three episodes of "Ironheart" are available to stream on Disney+ now, and the final three episodes of the show will be released on Disney+ on July 1st 2025. The soundtrack is also available to stream on digital platforms now.   #DisneyPlus  VISIT ONLINE -  http://www.WhatsOnDisneyPlus.com If you enjoy our content, please consider supporting it via our Patreon or as a YouTube Channel Membership from as little as $2 a month and get access to exclusive content and much more.

But, as you'll soon hear, those larger works have their place and there's a lot to be gained from writing them.We of course got into publishing as well. Dan has a fantastic perspective as someone who's both a composer and an editor and also as someone who's chosen both traditional and self publishing for his works, making him the perfect type of guest for this show!

Composer Mark Orton reflects on scoring The Holdovers, and more recently, On Swift Horses, starring Jacob Elordi and Daisy Edgar-Jones, and describes why he relies on Genelec monitors to mix his scores at his Camp Watertown studio.

“Seventeen was that age when we were realizing… we have to do something about this.” That poignant reflection echoes the emotional heart of SEVENTEEN, a powerful narrative work for orchestra created in response to the tragic 2018 high school shooting in Parkland, Florida—an event that claimed the lives of seventeen students. Composer Ron Ramin was moved to begin work on this piece soon after, eventually collaborating with librettist Portia Kamons, and later joined by Jamie Bernstein. Together, they crafted a deeply human and artistically compelling response to an American tragedy.In this two-part conversation, I sit down with Portia and Ron to talk about the creation of SEVENTEEN and the many layers involved in bringing it to life.In Part 1, we begin with an overview of the piece itself, followed by a deeper dive into each of its four movements. Portia shares how the libretto was built from the actual words of young people, giving voice to a generation affected by gun violence. We also discuss how Ron and Portia came together to write the piece, the collaborative process behind their work, and how their shared vision took shape. We wrap up the first half of our conversation with the story of how the premiere performance came about, thanks to the support of the Orlando Philharmonic and its music director, Eric Jacobsen.[Subscriber Content] Part 2 opens with a look at the practical challenges behind producing a project of this magnitude, especially the complexities of securing funding. This leads to a conversation about future performance opportunities and what lies ahead for SEVENTEEN. From there, we step back to learn more about Portia and Ron's individual careers, and I pose a classic creative question: do artists need to feel inspired to do meaningful work, or can the work happen without inspiration? Their answers are thoughtful and revealing. And finally, we close with a broader reflection as I ask both of them how hopeful they feel about the future.This episode offers a moving and thoughtful exploration of how art can respond to tragedy—and how music can become a powerful form of activism, remembrance, and healing.DoricoProfessional music notation and composition software from Steinberg.

Sitars and Symphonies: LA Composer Reena Esmail Fuses Indian Ragas with Western Rhythms We continue our California composers series with Reena Esmail. Her childhood in Los Angeles had two soundtracks: the Western classical music her parents loved, and the old, scratchy Bollywood tapes her paternal grandparents would play over and over. Those multicultural influences shaped what would become the driving question of her work: how do you invite people from different cultures onto the same stage to build a relationship and create music together? Composing is how Esmail has made her mark — by putting Western classical musicians in conversation with Indian artists, building bridges between violinists and sitar players, tabla drummers and western singers. She's an artist in residence with the Los Angeles Master Chorale, has composed with unhoused singers from Skid Row, and her music has been performed by major orchestras and choirs all over the world. How a UC Berkeley Professor Confronts Division With a Vision for Belonging Professor john a. powell spent much of his early life feeling like he didn't belong. At just 11 years old, he became estranged from his deeply religious family. After questioning church doctrine and not getting the answers he was looking for, powell — who spells his name in lowercase — left the church, and his father did not speak to him for five years. But that pivotal moment was the beginning of the path that led him to his life's work. powell is the director of the Othering and Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley, where he's also a professor of law, African American studies and ethnic studies. He's the author of two recent books, “Belonging Without Othering,” and “The Power of Bridging.” powell spoke with host Sasha Khokha as part of our series on Californians and resilience.  Learn more about your ad choices.

HT2261 - Seeing Is Not Composing A bit of a cliche for beginning photographers is SZM — Super Zoom Mind. We see, say, a distant mountain, pull up our camera and photograph it only to be disappointed when the mountain is so small in the print. We see the mountain with our telescopic mind rather than composing a picture that includes the mountain.

In this luminous return to the Hearts Rise Up podcast, sonic mystic and legendary space music composer Jonn Serrie invites us beyond the edges of music and into the sacred space where silence breathes, frequencies speak, and creativity plays like a child running free. What begins as a conversation unfolds as a cosmic remembering—a transmission on the soul of sound, the intelligence of texture, and the spiritual responsibility of the artist in an age of artificial intelligence.In this episode, Jonn weaves stories of childhood dreams, planetary awakenings, and divine synchronicities—revealing how music is not created but received, not engineered but lived. This is more than an interview. It's an initiation into the invisible forces that move through us when we dare to listen beyond the note, trust the muse's voice, and honor the stillness from which all sound is born.Episode Highlights00:00 Introduction03:15 The First Note as Sacred Threshold05:49 Texture Over Technique10:24 Composing from the Temple of Stillness11:00 Synthesizers as Living Beings14:11 Dancing with AI Without Losing the Soul15:57 Sound as Spiritual Weight18:05 The Vision Behind the Note20:10 Music as a Living, Breathing Intelligence21:33 The Voice of the Muse as a Child23:56 Initiatory Dreams & Spiritual Guide27:55 Creating from Cosmic Memory30:21 Returning to Compassionate Sound36:46 Music as Mirror and PortalHeart-centered Wisdom Shared38:55 "Keep that sense of play and creativity alive no matter what, because that's what it is.

My guest today is Joshua Rosenblum, author of Closer than Ever — The Unique Six-Decade Songwriting Partnership of Richard Maltby, Jr. and David Shire. This terrific new book chronicles the sixty-six-year (and counting) partnership of two of the most gifted songwriters of our time, giving full behind-the-scenes accounts of their musicals interspersed with deep-dive analyses of standout individual numbers. Among the well-known Broadway figures who feature prominently in the Maltby/Shire story are Stephen Sondheim, Hal Prince, Michael Stewart, Francis Ford Coppola, Susan Stroman, John Weidman, Charles Strouse, Garth Drabinsky, Jason Robert Brown, and Jonathan Tunick. Using his experiences as a Broadway conductor, music journalist, and professor of musical theater composition, as well as his long-term personal and professional acquaintance with both Maltby and Shire, Joshua Rosenblum is uniquely suited to chronicle their lives, careers, and creative output. The songwriters, both of whom are engaging and articulate in describing what they do, are quoted liberally throughout the book in exclusive interviews, creating the impression that one is spending time with two inspiring creative artists who happen to be great company.   Joshua Rosenblum teaches Composing for Musical Theater at Yale University and Conducting at New York University. As a composer/lyricist, he wrote the scores to the off-Broadway musicals Fermat's Last Tango, Bush is Bad, and Einstein's Dreams (four Drama Desk Nominations). He has conducted fourteen Broadway and off-Broadway shows and has performed as pianist with the New York Pops at Carnegie Hall, the City Center Encores! Orchestra, and the American Symphony. A longtime contributor of reviews and features to Opera News, Rosenblum is a summa cum laude graduate of Yale College and holds a master's degree in Piano from the Yale School of Music.
