Just an update on the sonata (for euphonium, four trombones, and two percussionists) I’m writing for Brett Keating. I’m nearly finished with the “Glam Bugs” movement, and I can’t wait to “engrave” the manuscript in Finale so I can send it to him. I’m really terribly excited to continue on with the other movements. I’m thinking I’ll be writing the “Alleys and Ruins” movement next.
It’s also looking like the sonata will receive its premiere in Luzern, Switzerland this fall. I’ll post updates again as plans start to solidify. Also, early plans to get the sonata published are under way. More on that, too, as things progress.
