Jim --
I'd like to post the following message on the Klarinet forum. But it keeps
getting bounced back to me as "undeliverable." Can you post the message for me?
Also, can you send me an address for Klarinet that will work for me? Thanks.

COMPOSER OFFERS NEW CLAR. SCORE
Klarinet, Hello again!
Please believe: This offer is not about money. I write music in hopes of
making friends, not money. (Luckily, I earn enough as an author.) The friends
I most want to make are serious musicians who will enjoy my scores and want to
explore more.
I'm offering to send you -- for the cost of the photocopying & postage -- a
newly available work.
The sheet music is computer-notated, using Finale. Parts are photocopied
2-sided on stiff paper and spiral-bound. Easy page-turns. Music requires good
musicians, but not virtuosos.
Good tunes over tonal harmonies. Key signatures are used. Few meter changes.
One critic said: "Distinctly American flavor."
I say: "Derrierre garde, NOT avant garde!" ;-)
ANECDOTES & REFLECTIONS: A PORTRAIT OF AMERICA
for Bb clarinet, violin, cello and piano.
I. Allegro - Klezmer, Slavic, Zorba-esque music evokes immigrant ancestors
II. Moderato - homage to Gershwin, a son of immigrants
III. Allegro - evokes American film score traditions
IV. Larghetto - nature music: lush forests, running streams
V. Lento - Old World pavane slides into "Swing" a` la Benny Goodman, then
returns
VI. Tempo di marcia - a pie-in-the-face award for John Philip Sousa
41 minutes long altogether. But it can also be presented as three, separate,
15-minute, two-movement works. That is, the First & Second movements can be
offered as a single two-movement work. Same with the Third & Fourth, and the
Fifth & Sixth movements.
Cost: $22.04
There is a splendid CD recording of this work. Gasparo Records GSCD-285
"Chamber Music with Clarinet by Rick Sowash" played by The Mirecourt Trio and
clarinetist Craig Olzenak. In addition to the "Anecdotes and Reflections" the
CD also includes "Daweswood Suite" (also scored for clarinet, violin, cello and
piano) and "Street Suite" (duo for violin and clarinet). Record store price is
$14.99, but you can get it from me for $9.95.
To order, please e-mail me at: 73563.3161@-----.com
State your physical address and the sheet music and/or CD recording you want.
I'll snail-mail your order to you with an invoice. If you don't like it (but I
think you will), send it back and toss the invoice.
More about me and my work is on my web site:
http://www2.primax.com/users/~ricks/default.html
Six of my works can be downloaded (free) there, including several for clarinet.
