Frank Lynn Payne Info

Post by Mark N. »

I am doing Frank Lynn Payne's Sonata on a recital next month and need his birth date. I have found his bio and other info including where he was born, but have not found when he was born.

Please post it here if you happen to know.

Thanks! :D

Payne

The Sonata, I believe, is going to be reprinted by BVD Press sometime in the near future. I gave one of my copies to Dennis AsKew who passed it on to Bryan Doughty for this purpose.

I am a big believer in this piece and would love to see it performed more often. If you want to perform it soon, I'll lend you a copy. Simply email me and I'll dig it out and get it to you.

Payne tuba quartet?

Post by jeopardymaster »

Did he not also compose a good tuba quartet? Kind of a semi-minimalist or (I dunno, looking for a term) semi-primitive kind of thing?

Both his Quartet and Sonata will be available in the near future from Cimarron Music Press. I am shooting for the Army Tuba Conference in January. I huge thank you goes out to Mark, Dennis and Tim Olt for their help with the Payne pieces and several others that I had trouble locating the originals to use as reference material.

One interesting bit of trivia about Payne, from a friend who knew Payne in college days (then-NTSU, I think).

Apparently, Payne was of the notion that the first composer who really had a clue as to good composition, all-time, was Stravinsky. That shows a bit in the Sonata, several blips of what makes me think of Le Sacre.

Very good piece. Thanks for re-introducing it, Bryan!
