Composing : What's your favorite musical moment? by Kat Spencer

Kat Spencer

What's your favorite musical moment?

Something that gives you chills every time. Something you'll never get tired of hearing.

Maurice Vaughan

The Jaws theme, Kat Spencer.

Wyman Brent

To be honest, some of my own songs do that every time I hear them. Songs I wrote such as Meow for Now, a song of heartbreak and loss. The same for my song The Silence Said Enough which is also about loss. Having said that, I also write playful tunes as well such as Zip Trip Flip which sounds like I must have created it while on drugs.

Brian Gunter

Many such moments…lately though I’ve been revisiting Holst’s Neptune:The Mystic, and that moment not long after the 4 min mark when the single note of the sopranos come in and hold over the orchestra… so subtle but absolutely gives me chills after all the major/minor play in the first section.

I do not get chills, but I do get pleasure every time I watch Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1984). It is such a joyful and fun blend of music with New Wave competing against more traditional rock. It is a tasty slice of B movie heaven.
