Thus spaketh the brief for this section.
So, what is your proudest moment as a composer?
I won't say it's my proudest as such, but I once submitted an entry for the Portuguese Eurovision song, which was to be sung by one Rita Guerra. We had to send in a tape and/or sheet music to State TV channel RTP. I recorded mine in the bathroom (to get the echo).
It was in Portuguese, but it started something like:
Your eyes are like oceans
Where I want to sail
Where I want to lose myself
(ect, ect, ad embarrassing nauseum)
I was quite proud of the effort at the time (totally oblivious as I was to the fact that it was utter bilge). I didn't win, natch ... but I always had a sneaking, paranoid suspicion that someone would steal it and make millions ... bilge often proving quite marketable, as we know.
So if anyone's heard a song which begins with the idea of sailing around someone's eyes, please let me know.
Oh, and I think Rita Guerra came as near as dammit last. Serves them right!

... or discuss your own compositions and recordings.
