Strange spaghetti in this silent city.

The piece I wrote (as this blog doth attest) as something of an afterthought, and partly in response to a dream, the brass choir fanfare, Lord of the Things, has been accepted for performance in Phoenix, AZ on 22 Feb 2025. This marks, in fact, the first time I’ve had a positive result from a call which I found on the American Composers Forum Opportunities Page. Then let me be no cynic. I needed to write back for clarification, as the message didn’t specify whether Crazy in a Bottle or Lord had been accepted. I also resisted the urge to ask, What was wrong with the low clarinet choir piece?  But the experience demonstrates the wisdom of having gone on to write the brass piece. This looks to be the first performance of Henningmusick in 2025.
