NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2006 -
A big PASIC for me, thanks in no small part to my good friend, Tom Burritt, who commissioned and performed two new works for 2006: Euonymus Alatus, for large percussion ensemble, and All Times Identical to Recent Years, for solo marimba. For the record, the University of Texas percussion studio rocks big time. I am sure they are not quite human, but rather, monsters, in the classic sense. In addition, the work Corps-tet was performed at PASIC by J.B. Smith's group on the Thursday Lit session. Thanks to the ASU studio for their work on behalf of new music and all the represented composers.
Euonymus is being published by C. Alan Publications - I am really thankful to Nathan Daughtrey for his hard work on getting that available by PASIC. I have not yet quite determined what will happen publishing-wise with All TImes Identical; I currently have it available for sale under the "Hasenworks" label (see the compositions page). Tom Burritt has released a recording of it as the title track to his new CD, All TImes Identical, on the Go Fish Music label.
A new non-percussion (!) work just completed: Three Private Wars for soprano, clarinet, and piano sets the text of Idaho poet Greg Nicholl. This was a joy to write, and we are looking forward to a February premiere by the Idaho State University faculty ensemble, Trio Lyrique.
