Picture imaginary musicians gathered near chancel steps of a grand cathedral, preparing for a concert of orchestrated melodies! Imagine great granite pillars, an ornate white marble chancel and granite cathedral walls which not only provide a proper backdrop for the composer’s library of orchestrated melodies but an acoustical atmosphere that dwarfs the imagination. Seated with their respective instruments are flute, violin, viola and cello players, along with a pitched bell percussionists, and trumpet, French horn and trombone players. A musician, delayed, makes a hurried entrance transporting an enormous bass tuba along a red carpet aisle runner leading to the front of the cathedral! While you may imagine this scene while listening, the setting is make-believe; K. C. Beckmann’s orchestrated melodies are not!
K. C. Beckmann's musical world is an extensive easy listening, classical music library! Most of his works are scored for ensemble or small orchestra!
Each track is beautifully crafted and musically delightful! Each orchestration a wonderful, captivating sound experience, full of depth but with each instrument adding its own unique voice! Each song, a marvelous musical melodic masterpiece, making use of counterpoint and other musical techniques in his compositions! Beckmann's musical compositions are one of a kind, captivating and cheerful, each wonderfully crafted and performed exactly as the composer envisioned!
Utilizing a virtual orchestra and orchestral samples from Garritan Personnel Orchestra 4 and 5, he has scored six full albums: "K. C.'s 1st Song Collection" (2013), “Picturesque Memories" (2013), “Splendid Symphony" (2014), “Majestic Serenity" (2015), "Endless Bliss" (2017). and "Simple Blessings" (2019)! Thirty of nearly sixty tracks from these six albums may be heard on the Orchestrated Melodies Music Player below while the remainder may be heard at Spotify and ITunes/Apple Music!
He is a life-long amateur stargazer, searching for nova;, old binary stars, quiescent most of their life, suddenly erupting for weeks or months, becoming exceedingly bright. He is credited with three independent visual discoveries which has won him international recognition.
His work as a nova hunter has appeared in books, articles and newspapers. He is a recipient of the American Association of Variable Star Organization’s (AAVSO) Nova Award. Beckmann has also written a semi-autobiographical book entitled, "Ghost Ships in the Night.."
