Composers Forum is a daily web log that allows invited contemporary composers to share their thoughts and ideas on any topic that interests them--from the ethereal, like how new music gets created, music history, theory, performance, other composers, alive or dead, to the mundane, like getting works played and recorded and the joys of teaching. If you're a professional composer and would like to participate, send us an e-mail.
Record companies, artists and publicists are invited to submit CDs to be considered for review. Send to: Jerry Bowles, Editor, Sequenza 21, 340 W. 57th Street, 12B, New York, NY 10019
Are there any composers of wind band music out there that need a small wind band to play them?
My name is Steve Mowery, and I am the director of the Puxico RhythmSteppers Band from Puxico High School in Puxico, Missouri. I am looking for any new music that a composer might need a band for. All of the Hal Leonard/Boosey/FJH/Curnow stuff is great; it's just starting to all sound the same. I'm wanting my band to start a new direction, and at the same time learn some new musical concepts.
