What Are You Practising / Composing Now?

[Pabmusic]

A taste of my current workload - I've completed a newly edited and typeset version of Geoffrey Toye's 1921 overture to Ruddigore. It was published just before Christmas. Elgar's Civic Fanfare for Hereford (1927), edited by me, was published a few days ago, together with my arrangement for wind band. My edition of Butterworth's Love Blows as the Wind Blows (1914 version) arranged for voice & string quartet should be out in a month or so. Added to these are the revision of my Symphony (1976) which should be finished this month. Then there's a volume of Butterworth's folk dances for piano to complete, and my 45-minute Butterworth sequence for narrator, baritone & orchestra, which is 90% complete. Oh - then there's finishing the index for my biography.

Have you heard the Billy May arrangement of a movement from the Symphony played by the Glen Gray Orchestra.

No i haven't, Cloughie. On YouTube?

All too typical. But I am retired and have nothing to do but bask in the tropical sun. And write music, of course.

I'd forgotten about this thread! I should've posted here a few weeks ago that I'm currently working on Alkan's Marche, Op.37 no.1. My teacher seems happy with my progress so far. If I'm ever at the stage where I am too, I shall post it on YouTube.

Sounds great but the piece is still rather diff!

I am nearing the end of my current project, where I have been asked to write an arrangement for wind band of Wagner's overture to Die Meistersinger!

Will it be up to the high standard set by Hindemith in his arrangement of the Flying Dutchman Overture?

Ofcourse! I am doing this for a band in Ireland.

A pan-isorhythmic motet (similar to Dunstable's Veni Sancte Spiritus) for a festival in Reims. It's part of a motet-cycle, a sort of petite liturgie, for the Ascesnion.
