Beyond the Rim of the Starlight (Theme from Star Trek) barryhowardbrake 2,299 views I can't tell you how many times I've been criticized for taking seriously something that people don't take seriously, or don't think worthy of it. But that tendency has led...
Porta - the Jazz Protagonists live barryhowardbrake 325 views Recently we took part in the Witte Museum and KRTU Jazz Radio's "Live at the Witte" series of summer concerts. They've turned out to be a blast: the gorgeous, leafy grounds...
Love Me Forever barryhowardbrake 861 views Every year I write a new song for Catherine. Each year it's something different: a bossa, a ballad, a traditional Chinese flute melody. This year, she woke up and found thi...
The Sound Of Music (Epiphany day 50) barryhowardbrake 607 views This is the song I often end gigs with. It's a tradition in jazz clubs for the pianist and the singer to linger over a few slow songs after the gig is officially over while...
Chim Chim Cheree (Epiphany day 49) barryhowardbrake 741 views When I make an unusual song choice and interpret it freshly for people, my second favorite thing to hear is, "Man, I love what you did with that!" My favorite is, "Man,...
This Love Affair Has Just Begun (Epiphany day 48) barryhowardbrake 295 views I write a song for Catherine every year for her birthday. So far, the six songs I've written for her have been a couple of slow bossas, a riffy piano thing with minimal lyr...
Green-Eyed Boy barryhowardbrake 1,015 views Composers often like musical puzzles. Sometimes they even insert coded messages into their music. Bach has a piece that's exactly the same played forward and backward. But ...
Awake My Soul (Epiphany day 46) barryhowardbrake 1,260 views One of my favorite hymns from the Sacred Harp is a simple minor-key song that uses a call-and-answer pattern: each phrase is answered by "Halle, Hallelujah." I suspect that...
Girl Changes (Epiphany day 45) barryhowardbrake 198 views For some time I've thought I should write a new head to the changes of "The Girl From Ipanema," that would make you totally forget about the original. Definitely a tall ord...
Redeemed (Epiphany day 44) barryhowardbrake 530 views I love it when the Jazz Protagonists explore unusual territory. Case in point: Gospel Night, when we played an hour's worth of church music for our radio show. This one...

About this user

I'm a free-lance composer, arranger, and performer of music. I do film soundtracks, stage shows, commercials, CDs -- you name it.

My clients include Taco Bell, Sea World, Turner Broadcasting, and the Wall Street Journal. I also lead worship for a church near San Antonio -- you can hear some of my worship music under the username barrybrakeworship. Paste it into the search box, or click on it in the "subscriber" box, and get some more music!

I'm the pianist with the Jazz Protagonists, whose website is http://www.jazzprotagonists.com - head on over there and check out tons of free music downloads.

Whether I'm composing a film score, a commercial, a jazz tune, or a classical concert piece, I always operate from the same sense of wonder at the power of music, this nothing-but-tones that has always been one of our most central experiences.
