Since 2009, Daniel has been composing pieces for individuals, sometimes to honor an occasion or passage in the person’s life, sometimes as a gift for a loved one. All of the compositions on “When Your Life Becomes Music,” “ Brothers and Sisters of the Soul,” and “Love’s Hidden Demands,” as well as most of the compositions on “The Irrational Quest For Beauty,” are musical portraits. The commission for a musical portrait has ranged from $250 to $5000, and is negotiated during the initial interview process. If you sign up as a subscriber to The Creative Path, here on this site, your commission cost would be $700. That offer is good until 1/01/2025.
Daniel has interviewed as many as ten family members to get familiar with the person who is the subject of the portrait. He has composed musical portraits in honor of a marriage, to celebrate a piece of land, to honor wildlife and endangered species, and as a posthumous evocation of gratitude for a dear one passed on. Please visit this page to hear examples of these pieces. To read a great interview he did for a local paper here in Ashland, go here.
