Requiem Americano premiered last night to a wonderfully receptive full house! It has been a long journey with this piece, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to have shared it with so many people.

Quia cuncta creata necesse esta labefacta senscere tandem (?)

Rehearsals are underway for the premiere of the requiem. Between rehearsals I refine the goals for the next one, and use probably too many sticky notes in the process (not pictured are the discarded ones.)

Concert is this Saturday, see you there! www.georgiasymphony.org/event/we-the...

While it is pretty standard for foundations dedicated to composers to list upcoming performances of their works, I found this one to be a little more meaningful this time around.

Really good rehearsal last night with the Georgia Symphony Chorus. A lot of hard work on the requiem and it's paying off. Hear the premiere on May 17th! www.georgiasymphony.org/event/we-the...

A note, and invitation to join us.

Copland's Appalachian Spring and the premiere of my Requiem Americano. Two perspectives on American life. May 17th. Looking forward to seeing you there! www.georgiasymphony.org/event/we-the...

Great rehearsal last night with the GSO chorus in preparation for the premiere of my piece, Requiem Americano. May 17, hope to see you there!

There is a first time for everything, including conducting a performance with a broken tooth, as was the case this evening. Appointment already set for first thing in the am.

Always my favorite concerts every year!

See you all in a bit to talk about music and society! www.georgiasymphony.org/event/maestr...

Occasionally I'm reminded of things in my past that go on to have a life of their own. In this case, it is my doctoral dissertation. It has been cited dozens of dozens of times (if not more) as THE source for information on historic instrumental vibrato.

Goodness on the stand this am.

The score for the requiem is done, marking the end of material preparations. World premier is May 17th! www.georgiasymphony.org/event/we-the...

Instrument parts for the requiem done! Just have to tidy up the score a bit…

Some fun stick waving today

Long, tiring, but musically fulfilling day. Started off early by introducing about 1,000 students to Carnival of the Animals. It ended with introducing my Requiem Americano to the GSO Chorus ahead of our May premiere.

Prep-day for tomorrow morning's "Carnival of the Animals." This show is special to me not just because of the great music. Aside from (expectedly) writing the script, I also created the visuals.

Up at 5:30 to get to the hall by 7am. Rehearsal at 8 for the show at 11. Who is bringing the coffee???

Many thanks to William Ford for the invitation to sit and chat about a wide range of topics, which included spotlighting the size and scope of the GSO, my background, and how music just became a part of my interest, my drive, and my life. www.earrelevant.net/2025/03/timo...

Up next this am, a few fun ones

115 chorus vocal scores ready to be distributed next week to the GSO Chorus in preparation for the world premiere performance in May!

Well played and fun concert last night, congratulations to all the musicians onstage and to our soloist, Joanna Cheng!

Also, a special shoutout to Jim Palmer, Paul Hostetter, Cathie Hudnall for making it an all-around enjoyable evening!

Finally have a moment to post - I took a quick trip Saturday down to Columbus to hear Okorie “Okcello” Johnson perform Liminal. As always he received a well-deserved standing ovation. If any conductors out there are looking for a work that’s a pleaser- check it out www.timothyverville.com/liminal/

It's been a busy past few days. Hopefully brass will be finished in the next day or so. Shoutout to @doricoofficial.bsky.social (which I've used for about 5 years now) for making the individual part creation for a 54 minute piece for orchestra, chorus, and solo tenor easier than it ever was!

Spent the morning listening to the audio from last weekend's @Georgia Symphony Orchestra "Suite Treats" concert. Really great performance by everyone one stage. Now, on to trying to finish all the percussion engraving for the requiem today.

The @Georgia Symphony Orchestra is looking for a Development Director! Want to have a meaningful career with an established organization that promotes top-notch music education and performances? Then check us out!

And so it begins; engraving the parts for the upcoming May premiere of my "Requiem Americano." The violins get the honor to be cleaned up and made presentable before the other instruments. Why? First things... first🎻 (at least this time.)

Had a fantastic time on Friday and Saturday working with these great high school students in Fayette county. Within a 24 hour period we had 3 rehearsals and a performance of music by Brahms, Smetana, Bizet, and Mosier!
