Frederick Warner, Adirondack Composer
Welcome to my web site.
I have lived in the Adirondack Mountains all of my life (so far, anyway) and so did my father, his father and his father. Earlier generations came north from Comstock, NY and over from Vermont prior to that. Adirondack towns I've lived in are: Upper Jay, Jay, Keene, Keene Valley, Wilmington, Black Brook, Saranac Lake, Hadley, and Lake Luzerne. I've also lived outside of the Adirondack Park in Fort Edwards, Glens Falls and Ithaca. I've made my home in the Adirondack Mountains since birth in 1950, living mostly in and around the communities of Upper Jay, Jay, Keene and Keene Valley.
I am a composer member of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) having been voted in by it's membership and hold 38 copyrights registered with the United States Library of Congress.
Here, throughout this website, I attempt to provide an overview of the musical genres I work within and provide a means to listen to a few of the pieces within each classification. Under the "Hobby Music" tab, several pages focus on the differing styles of rural music I am involved with and other information that may prove useful or enlightening. I've recently included information covering principle elements related to fundamental music theory, especially as applied toward Bluegrass music, under the "Music Theory" tab as well as a few theory tests for fun.
Check back often for updates to the various pages. I truly hope you will find something to your taste. Thank you for stopping by.
I want to thank all my many friends and fans who stop by this site so often and drop me emails regularly. Also, I extend my warmest welcome to new visitors and ask that you make yourself comfortable here and stop back as often as you like.
