About the Book
Four Works combined into one book in order to save money...{Plus a Bonus Book} -Musical Quotes from Some Famous People. -'Some Twenty and One Poemas'. -Lyrics are NOT Poems!!! -The Spontaneous Effusions of Robert Mulderrig. -What?! More Spontaneous Effusions from Robert Mulderrig {Bonus Edition}. ------------------- "Musical Quotes from Some Famous People"; The Author has picked up these simple and mindful quotes "All Along The Way", whilst on His Sojourn upon Terra Firma. From Bach to Beethoven, Chopin and Copland, Durante to Goethe, Hugo and an Italian Proverb. From Landon to Longfellow, Luther, Martin, Mendelssohn, & Moore. Including Mulderrig, Napoleon, Odetta and Plato: lest we forget Schnable, Schwab, Smith & Stern, and of course Toscanini. ------------- "The Spontaneous Effusions of Robert Mulderrig" are a group on one-line Quips, Off-the-Cuff Remarks, and Delusional Personal Misquotes that contain within them The Wisdom of One Man's Journey upon Terra Firma. Like Artesian Springs that Forcibly Erupt with-out Afore-Warning; from Deep below The Conscience Horizon; That-Which-Is, is rarely Hidden from an Open Mind, a Full Heart, & The Spirit of The Quantum Continuum... Once Seen; Never Forgotten; Once Heard; Always Sung; Once Sung; Forever Upon The Winds that Cross The Eternal Sky. . . "Without The Hub, there is no Wheel." "The Lone Ant has more purpose on this Earth than does The Fool." "Public is where crazy people go to practice acting normal." -------------- "Lyrics are NOT Poems!!!" is a written document using Lyrics from Robert J. Mulderrig as Examples of how Lyrics & Poetry are NOT the same. One is with The Music, the other cannot, such is The Essence of The Mysteries. Long before The Spoken, and written word, The Song has filled The Wind with its purposeful beauty. As a child, I "came up with Tunes" for no apparent reason, or cause. Without a Cause, no Effect? Perhaps, but with each Affect, there is Causation; and thusly The Path of One's Life is altered... ---------------- The creation of 'Twenty One and One Half Poemas' was purely a Happenstance. Born to a Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grand Mother whom wrote Poerty, it was enevitable that Robert, too, would create such Works. Here they, Off-The-Cuff, printed as Written, and without Edits... --------------- What?! More Spontaneous Effusions from Robert Mulderrig {Bonus Edition}. Just another group of one-line Quips, Off-the-Cuff Remarks, and Delusional Personal Misquotes that contain within them The Wisdom of One Man's Journey upon Terra Firma. --------------- Focusing on the Authoring of "Melopoeia: A Treatise concerning The Art of Composing Melodies" took hold of his attention full-time in late 2012. By the time he "Released-The-Ink", and within 108 days, The Work was completed. Editing took far longer than hoped, or expected, with the completion arriving in the summer of 2016. Three and a half years, and eighteen songs later, The Work, encouraged by a Life-Time of devotion, is ready for The World at large. No other Treatise, written by a Composer, for his Fellow Composers, will ever compare with "Melopoeia: A Treatise concerning The Art of Composing Melodies." ...Enjoy...
About the Author: The Author, Robert Mulderrig, began performing The C-Melody Saxophone with his oldest brother's High School Pep Band in 1976, whilst still in Junior High. Upon enrollment of Christian Brothers, said Author, remained after class helping to establish the Music program, culminating with both Award Winning Marching, and Concert Bands. Beginning with his first Rock Group after Graduation, he attended Sacramento City College, continuing his Musical Education as Composer, Performer, and Theoritian.

As he worked his way up The Ranks to Manager of Schweid's Music City, Robert continued to perform, compose, and develop any and all aspects of The Craft, all the while keeping his eyes upon The World around him. Returning to The University in 2002 was his father's idea, and was not taken lightly. Graduation as part of Mu Phi Epsilon's Honor Society granted him a Bachelorette in Electronic Music. This breathed new Hope into The Author as he set out, once again, on Our Journey called Life. Beginning with VoidSchool's web presence and the "Pay-per-Download" of his Music, Robert opened Mulderrig's Music in July of 2004, thus continuing the instruction of aspiring students, as well as the selling and repairing of Musical Instruments. Research and Development of The Craft has continued even though he closed up his Shop in late 2011, due to both health and economic concerns. Since then, the pace has slowed some-what...
