Even more gracious of them is they'd like to help me get a good recording of my McBones Fanfare.
And it doesn't end there. This Sunday the UWM Wind Ensemble is giving a chamber winds concert, with several really great works on the program. Included in that is my Serenade for Winds No. 1. I've very excited about this premiere, and I get to play 1st horn for it. After the performance, the we're going to bring a recording tech in and get a really good recording going of this piece. The piece is quite hard, so the extra recording opportunities will be helpful. With this recording, the wind ensemble director, John Climer, wants to send it to his colleagues. How great is that!? I may get some more performances out of this piece!
Oh, and those Christmas arrangements for brass quintet. Well, I got 8 of them done and printed last night, and took them for a test drive with the UWM Graduate Brass Quintet. They went well, and will soon be posted along with other Christmas tunes.
Along with many composition projects upcoming, I've got lots of performing to do. The chamber winds concert, as I mentioned, is this Sunday. I'm participating in the Band Concerto Compeition at UWM with a duo piece for horn and euphonium. I'm also performing the Basler Allelujia with a choir here in Milwaukee.
Despite all the work one like me has, take care and value music.
