Welcome to Meridian Ensemble Productions
- the official web site of, Guitarist, Composer, Arranger, James Sterritt.
I offer a variety of music services including: composition, arranging, production, pre-production, transcription, consultation, music directing, and private instruction.
Composition
I compose in various styles, from ancient to contemporary. My composition work falls into 2 basic categories: composition for it's own sake (what I would call, " My Music "),
or composition to enhance something else (i.e. presentations, theater works, videos, films, poetry,
etc...). To hear examples press HERE.
Arrangements
As for arrangements: I've arranged for most jazz and orchestral instruments, and some more exotic instruments. The primary ensemble for what I would call my Music consists of combinations of the following: Flute, Alto Flute, Oboe, English Horn, Bassoon, Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Guitar, Piano, and Percussion. I've also done a number of duet, trio, and quartet arrangements for Classic Guitar and combinations of the above listed instruments.
I have also done background and spot arrangements in the studio for songs, poetry, etc.
I've been playing Guitar since 1963, and Classic Guitar since 1970. I've performed in groups and as an accompanist since 1966, and as a soloist since 1978. My repertoire includes, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Jazz, Brazilian and ethnic music. I've performed in Studios, concerts, clubs, restaurants, art shows, and other events.
Current Performances
Directing / Producing
I have directed and produced music for theater, chorus, jazz, and chamber ensembles along with producing music in the studio. I have a digital audio recording studio in my home with a complete orchestral sample bank. I can record up to two performers live and many more multi-track. My home studio is perfectly suited for doing Demos, music for presentations and, in some cases, finished recording. Most all pre-production I do in my home studio. My studio is not suited for state of the art mastering or the recording of large live ensembles. For large ensemble recording I need to take it into a larger room or contract another studio.
Teaching / Consultation
I've taught Guitar privately since 1966 and arranging since 1979. I've also consulted others in the production and arranging of music.
I offer guitar lessons at Bananas at Large in San Rafael, at the Students homes in Marin County, and at my place in San Anselmo for otherwise hard
to schedule times. I also offer lessons in advanced music theory and improvisation. Children and beginners are also welcome.
