Jim and anyone else on this list-

As you might know, I am hosting the ICA conference in Arizona. Anyone who
wants to try for a spot on any of the potpourri recitals should get in
touch with me ASAP. The large recital, lecture and masterclass times are
pretty much set, but we are still working on the potpourri programs. This
would be a perfect spot for these new works to be introduced.

Jim, good to see you are on the list. I don't get a lot of time to respond
to anything, but do read almost every message every day.

ICA, 1995 ClarinetFest, Tempe, AZ July 12-16, 1995

>I am interested in getting in touch with persons who will perform at the
>summer clarinet meetings. I have three new works for clarinet and piano
>which I'm interested in having introduced in these kinds of venues. Two of
>them, SIX FOLKSONG STUDIES and RUMANIAN WHIRLING DANCE are soon to be
>released by Southern Music Co.(San Antonio, TX). The third work, CHARACTER
>SKETCHES(Theme, Variations, and Fughetta) is presently unpublished. It
>was commissioned by the Mississippi Music Teachers Ass'n. and premiered at
>their convention Oct. 28-29, 1994. It's ca. 20', grade 4 (out of 5) range
>to altissimo "a", no multiphonics.
> Since it is always rather difficult to get a new work off the
>ground, I am seeking persons who might be willing to take a chance on
>these pieces. Anyone interested in introducing the CHARACTER SKETCHES to
>local audiences can contact me at my e-mail address or write me at
>Mississippi College, Box 4206, Clinton, MS, 39058; The $10 cost would
>include postage, etc.
> Let me close by saying that it's a pleasure to be a part of this
>discussion group.
