Welcome to jeffmusic. Jeffmusic features music composed and
performed by violinist Jeff Hentschel. Here you will find many early
pieces written in Soundtrack. Later pieces are
composed using Logic Express. While music by Jeff Hentschel can be classified under
many different categories, much of his later works are jazz violin. Jeff plays the
electric violin in many of the pieces and uses a keyboard for creating the other
instruments. Jeffmusic also offers a collection of CD covers, as well as other
material such as EXS samples. Papers and presentations by Jeff Hentschel are

06-29-06 So I just realized that I forgot a '.' which of course
meant that you could not download Unchiseled Sapphire: I. It now works. You can
now also view this site at it's mirror.
06-13-06 I've released the demo version of my latest piece,
Unchiseled Sapphire: I. This is my first
large scale 'orchestral' work and I plan to record it in the next few months. I also
plan to have two other movements.
06-13-06 I've decided to try to keep a back up of the website on
my CS account, so the downtime will be a lot less.
06-11-06 Alright. Server is back up. Sorry for any inconvenience.
06-09-06 Server Downtime. On the bright side, I finished my first
year of college! It feels good to be free, if only for a little bit. However, this
means of course that I will be moving my computer. The site is expected to be back
up and running sometime on Sunday, 06-11-06. To listen to my pieces, you can check
out my iCompositions
account. Also, I've been working on a really big piece lately, so hopefully I'll
have it up in a couple of weeks.
06-02-06 I just got an invite code to
Google Analytics so we'll see how it goes. It looks pretty good.
05-26-06 Classical Review: The Russian Greats
Disclaimer: I perform with Philharmonia, so the review may be biased.
Tonight, Philharmonia, comprised mostly of non-music majors put on a show
dubbed "The Russian Greats." While Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev are clearly great, where
does Bordin fit in? To start off the program, guest conductor Christina Chen conducted
the simple and repetative In the Steppes of Central Asia by Borodin. The piece was
performed well, which is good considering there were only two main melodies to get down.
However, perhaps the lighter piece was chosen as a contrast to the masterpieces that followed.
Gared Crawford took the stage for the second piece, Prokofiev's Violin Concerto.
His amazing performance surely dazzled the audience with excellent runs and wonderful style.
During the slower parts, the tone he produced was extremely rich in color. The orchestra
stayed with him most of the time, although it could have been better.
After intermission, Dr. Robert Hasty conducted Tchaikovsky's Symphony 2
"Little Russian." I'm not quite sure what happened in the first movement, but the
overall togetherness was lacking. Fortunately, the orchestra seemed to get back on track
by the end and most of the rest of the performance was excellent. There was one part where
the horns seemed to be out of tune with each other, which was too bad bad since they were
rather exposed. The presto finale was performed amazingly well and definitely excited the
audience who applauded loudly and gave a standing ovation.
As this was the last concert of the season, the repetoire performed was the
best of all concerts, and perhaps the performance was one of the best. After intermession,
Dr. Hasty read the names of the seniors and bid them farewell. This was a great concert
to end the season with.
