Welcome to my musician page! Here you will find a selection of my songs, film scores & classical compositions.
Have fun listening and watching!
Here is an excerpt from a newspaper column, in case you want to find out more about my musical path:
After a classical music
education at the High School of Music "Gerhardt Hauptmann" in
Wernigerode (Rundfunk-Jugendchor) Smitt established himself in
the popular scene with up to 130 concerts a year on stages
throughout Germany as a singer, guitarist and bandleader. In
that time he composed and produced five long players and
several singles. Songs of Rock & Pop Music (likewise in a
classical style), as well as film music excerpts and remixes
can be found there. As a composer, songwriter and lyricist, he
wrote and arranged furthermore countless pieces for famous
artists and bands of various genres, in addition under
pseudonym. Beginning in 2006, he dedicated himself primarily
classical music and means the return to his musical
roots.
Accordingly his classical
compositions for orchestra, choir and soloists are operas,
which comply with his previous musical empiricism and act
symbiotically during the creative process. Smitt does not
consider the dogma of classifying types of music; he overcomes
skilful and tasteful declared laws of musical graduations in an
autonomous way. Consequently, this free music weaves itself
entertaining and limitless to a new entirety, giving rise to
the distinctive authentic style of his compositions.
"... and particulary it is a fulfilling affair to use or be used by music. It can never be only a limited purpose of an exclusive personal expression. Music coaches itself with all the wisdom of God through you and we have to be thankful for this gift and have to use it smart and mean well, so we are used by it in a great way of self-realization in being amused, contemplative, meditative, hopeful and in being a part of a very big community of spirits. A never ending story..." (Rick Smitt)
