Oh Holy Night

Keywords: Adventure, Authority, Authoritative, Christmas, Orchestral, March, Hopeful, Happy, Lift, Love, Military, Piano, Relaxing, Soaking, Voyage, Winter, Worship

Story: I had in mind to do a Christmas CD (vocal) with my wife, so I started fiddling with the song Oh Holy Night on the keyboard and got a little carried away. This sounds good as a standalone… will probably try and lessen it a bit and lengthen it for a full song, and have my wife sing it… eventually.

My name is Rob Reed. You can find out more about me here at my regular blog.

The short version of me is that I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, a husband, a father, a son, a lawyer, a worship leader, and a songwriter.

I write instrumental music cues for a music library that helps to distribute my music to a number of outlets, including television. My music has appeared on such diverse shows as Ritmo L.A. (a public access program catering to the El Salvadorean community in Los Angeles), Access Hollywood (NBC-affiliated entertainment program), and True Life (MTV). I am a member of ASCAP.

In an effort to built my musical brand, I am making some of my music available for non-commercial, royalty-free use in your video and audio projects, in exchange of a credit.

Story: I first came up with the bluesy lick while just fiddling around with my Telecaster… then, I added the cool bass line, and I just played my heart out with what little guitar chops I have.

Apoplectic Charlie

Rob Reed — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 05:10:52 +0000

Keywords: Authority, Authoritative, Angry, Beat, Groove, Fast, In Your Face, Dunk, Direct, Methodic

Inspiration: I was writing this melody during the Charlie Sheen debacle, and I briefly saw an article online that referred to Charlie as “Apoplectic.” I had to look it up. It means overcome with anger. That matched the melody, I thought.
