MPL Composer Facebook Launch


Danny Buckley, volunteer composer for Mooresville Public Library (Mooresville, Indiana), has launched a new Facebook page, which includes audio files of his original compositions (to which you can listen and share, free-of-charge), as well as additional information.  Much of his material may also be heard on Reverbnation and YouTube.  He is available to compose original music for hire.

Danny is a 2010 graduate of Millikin University (Decatur, Illinois) and holds a B.A. in Music Business.  His free music scores may be viewed and searched here, and some of his guitar scores are available for sale here.

If you have enjoyed any of our 1100-plus videos and book trailers posted to the library's YouTube Channel, the thanks should go to Danny. His original musical compositions, drawn from over a half-dozen CDs of his music, bring our videos to life. We could not have done this work without his invaluable assistance.
