INTRODUCTION TO HOMEPAGE INDEX
My web-master Mike Grieff pointed out that we have been developing this site for nearly four years and have amassed a vast amount of information. As I said in my last Hompage, we are attracting over 7,000 unique hits each month, but various browsers have written in saying how baffled they are by the organisation of topics, or rather the lack of it. So below is an attempt to throw light on the Homepages and INDEX those since September 2005; the first year of homepages, 2004 – 2005, are catalogued month by month under HP Archive.We hope you will find this useful to supplement the listing of main topics which appears on the left of each Homepage. Happy Browsing.
PROGRAMMING THIS SPRING
I am lucky to be celebrating Spring in 2008 with concerts at the one of the leading specialist music schools in the world, the National Youth Wind Orchestra of Wales (especially in this year of the welsh Grand Slam), one of the world’s leading military concert bands, one of the top amateur wind ensembles and finally one of the leading Conservatoire wind ensembles. The programmes are listed below.
CONDUCTING COURSE
There are still a few vacancies at the Canford/BASBWE International conducting course. For more information follow the BASBWE link above or look at www.canfordsummerschool.co.uk
NEW PUBLICATION FROM GUY WOOLFENDEN
Newly
out from Ariel is Guy’s DIVERTIMENTO, written for Birmingham Symphonic Winds
at WASBE 2007 and available on CD from Mark Custom records on 7221-MCD, score
and information from www.arielmusic.co.uk
NEW PUBLICATION FROM JAMES SYLER
In
response to a commission from twenty leading USA Universities, James Syler has
written an ingenious and fascinating minimalist work called Tattoo
in which the wind orchestra divides into two, woodwind and percussion who repeat
fragments rhythmically though not together, and brass who play more controlled
chords and fragments underneath this minimalist kaleidoscope.
Lasting about eight minutes, this is a great work to introduce your
players to the aleatoric world of
Steve Reich and his colleagues. Highly recommended - more information from
www.JamesSyler@aol.com
