Tom Anderson's music arranging studio & nomenclative anagram. Bespoke notesmithing for all manner of yawps. Fumbling towards piquancy.

This brilliant series is about to conclude. Do yourself a huge favor: catch up, then await the finale with the rest of us.

I've spent weeks listening to every single song from every single Disney animated musical, and I've ranked them all from worst to best on a scale of 0-500, based on 1) lyrics, 2) music, 3) vocals, 4) plot integration, and 5) subjective enjoyment. #DisneySongsRanked🧵

A snippet of Hear My Song, from 'Songs For a New World' by the incomparable Jason Robert Brown 🙌🏽
Thank you to our friend @RandomNotesMUS for the arrangement- we absolutely love it and can't wait to share more of it with everyone soon 👀

What’s a piece of music that’s in an asymmetrical time signature that grooves simply and effortlessly? Like, something that’s in an unusual meter but you can still move to it without thinking much

New handle! I'm now @RandomNotesMUS. Long overdue. "LLC" originated 12yrs ago when I was a full-time lawyer doing 🎵on the side; besides the biz actually being an LLC, the handle was a hat tip to the dual roles. Left law practice months later & "LLC" looked & felt wrong for years

Would've done @RandomNotesMusic (like my Insta, ahem) but handles must be ≤15 chars. Considered replacing LLC w/ 218 (very few out here repping my home area code in northern MN), music stuff like XML/WAV/MP3, even just "Tom." This seems simplest. Like a Finale file extension 😊

This isn’t pro- or anti- Sheeran, Gaye, lawsuit, anything. Purely curious about perception. What song is this? LGIO, TOL, other?

Not a lot of people know this, but all the music for English coronations is written in the key that corresponds to the first name of the monarch. So Charles III's service will be entirely in C major, Elizabeth II's was in E major, George V's was in G major etc etc

I generally leave the memes to others, but in a once-in-a-lifetime fluke of my arranging schedule, I am legitimately working on this for a client today, so guess what you’re not done trying to get out of your head

Just realized that “T.N.T.” by @acdc is very clearly based on the call of the white-throated sparrow

Only a tiny handful of a cappella groups should be allowed to sing in F major. This is one of them. 🔥🎵🛶

Fun rehearsal on our new Theatreland rep! Loving channeling @iamcedricneal in @guysanddollsuk in this arrangement by legendary #darmonmeader of @NYVoices89 🔥
You can hear this & loads of other brand new tunes at @wiltonsmusichall 5th & 6th May! > bit.ly/3Yt2isR

I wish I had had @Komaniecki_R for college theory. I might have actually learned something. Even after you account for the fact that he was eight years old at the time

1970s: The Hollies release a song w/ a I-V/vi-IV-iv progression
1990s: Radiohead releases “Creep” w/ same prog, is sued by The Hollies
2018: Lana Del Rey releases “Get Free” w/ same prog, is sued by Radiohead
2025(?): All songs are I-V/vi-IV-iv, everybody is suing everybody

Brain decided to woodshed while I was trying to fall asleep last night. Bonus points for anyone who can name the jazz standard for which it was apparently more important to write this lick at midnight than get actual rest like a grown-up

Even if this app overcomes the odds and still exists come December, I’d love it if you’d follow my Instagram, uh, situation: @randomnotesmusic. Linky goodness: instagram.com/randomnotesmus…
