Received today:
Thank you for applying to the Civic Fellows 2025 Call for Scores. We look forward to reviewing your submission. If selected for the call, you will hear from us by Friday, March 14.
[Checks notes]
Oh, yes, I re-scored Dark Side of the Sun for that call, for more conventional instrumentation.
ASCAP has an annual award program for composers such as yours truly, performances of whose concert works are, erm, underrepresented in the musical world. I haven’t applied in a while, certainly not since my stroke, and I think this year it’s time I applied again. The award is but a nominal sum, but it is also a non-zero figure. The pieces need to be registered with the Society, so this is an apt opportunity to send scores of 2024’s repertory to mine publisher.
Thus the following have I duly remitted:
Op. 117a Jazz for Nostalgic Squirrels
Op. 144e Nun of the Above
Op. 149a Down Along the Canal to Minerva Road
Op. 171 I dreamt of reconciliation and harmony
Op. 177 Waiting on the Italian Paperwork or Throwing Vermicelli at the Wall
Op. 179a Fuchsia Minor
Op. 191 Nostalgia Ain’t What It Used to Be
Tomorrow morning, the Henning Ensemble gathereth, and we shall read Dark Side of the Sun for the first time. We shall also consider when we might perform it.
