Thanks for listening Esther. I have visited your Website and listened to your beautiful piano piece "The Swan Brings Winter on its Wings" and to the recording of your euphonium piece "Journey." I enjoyed the very lyrical music part you composed for this instrument and Charley's performance.

I have a new work just released. Score and parts are distributed through Universal Edition. The preface of the score contains a hymn sheet of Broadhurst's poems with his commentary. The video score here has audio produced from NotePerformer4 software.

I knew Stephen Jaffe from back in our student days. He's a wonderful composer and musician.

Enjoying your mazurkas! "Like a tender bulldozer" for no. 1 does set a great mental image for listening. 'Anti-avante-garde' for our time, is this now a general approach for you--or just these mazarkas? I ask because my own work these days leans toward a traditional sense of harmonic language.

I have found Chopin inspiring too. I have a nocturne that hints at Chopin and a ballade for koto that is quite different. Are your mazurkas available to hear anywhere?

Three for Seven (a wind septet)

I composed this wind septet in 1975 and revised it in 1988. The 1988 version was premiered at the 1990 Society of Composers, Inc. national conference held at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas where it was performed by members of the Las Vegas Symphony.

Books mentioning slavery, civil rights removed from shelves at Fort Campbell schools - ClarksvilleNow.com At an elementary school at Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne Division, librarians are hard at work scrubbing the shelves for books that contain references to slavery, the civil rights movement...

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement.

The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

CD1 of the Morales Project includes the rarely-heard original version of Missa Mille regretz. One critic said that listening to the first version of the Osanna was "the closest you'll get to hearing the beating of angels' wings."

I played the Carter String Quartet No. 1 for my son when he was in high school (in 2009), and he found it interesting and he copied it to his iPod. What did your children think of Carter's quartets?

We've just been putting the finishing touches on the next vol in Signum Records' cycle of symphonies by Christopher Gunning (Sym 8 & 9). His music has so much heart. As I get on in life, that seems to matter most of all.

Here's his 10th from @mahlerfest.bsky.social
