I am trying to get the rights to Barnacle Bill, as we speak. That's been my bread and butter piece for a while now. I wish that I could have a recording with band.. but there are legal implications that I don't wish to deal with, having a military band record.. etc...
I'm not sure all of my collegues would volunteer their time to record something that will benefit me.
Either way, I'll get the rights, and record w/piano.
Right now, the lineup is:
Barnacle Bill
Sonata Ritmico Sy Brandon
Unknown, unamed piece that is being written now Scott Wise
Ludus Vaclav Nehlybel *With Mike Thornton and John Rider, tubas*
I'll be adding a little more to fill out a disc.. that's where suggestions here are helpful. I want this to be an accessible disc for students and enjoyable, with not so serious music.
If this is not an absolute flop, I'll consider recording some more "challenging" repertoire... Except Song of Ascent... I'd rather keep me chops in some sort of non-gelatinous form
Thank you for the suggestions! I'll update as things line up for me and this project. I'm really excited to have the opportunity to release something this year.
