Greg, my publisher is thinking of Atlanta sopranos, so who knows?  We just may mystify in a neighborhood near you!

I'll begin working on my falsetto immediately.  :o :). Just in case.

Well, not the Trumpeter alone will be mystic, then....

These unlikely events may launch in the southlands!  My publisher is preparing them for the Gremlins Duo, who will tour in April.

O Atlantans, there is news, and near-news:

The Reinhardt University Percussion Ensemble will perform Journey to the Dayspring on Tuesday evening, 29 October.

And my publisher has contacted a soprano who is willing to take a look at The Mystic Trumpeter; so, you never know!

The work most excellently melts the music into the words, and evokes the 19th-Century world of Whitman most subtly, as occasional faint whiffs of that era are in the work's unconscious.

And for those of you who have downloaded the scores, tell me if you agree that the Largo finale of the second version is the better choice.
"Meet Miss Ruth Sherwood, from Columbus, Ohio, the Middle of the Universe!"

Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."

No, no, Sarge, I cannot hope for so much.  Of everything that's been written since Tristan, only Nixon in China is really worth listening to . . . .

I would hope he'd create a Le Sacre-like riot and scandal, giving you much needed publicity  8)

Made to order? Karl, you are so gourmet!
Do what I must do, and let what must happen happen.

Closing in on the end of Nicodemus, and I've gotten a good start on just what everyone was expecting, the clarinet/marimba duet.
