Last night was the premiere of Scorpion in the Sand. I still think this is one of my best pieces ever. I sent off three works to Bud Fenker, my publisher at Phoenix Music, which I hope will be published and available within the next year: The New-Found Journal (flute, clarinet, bassoon, horn), Take 9 Fanfare (version for double brass quintet), and Sonatina for Cello and Piano (including a version for tuba and piano.) The latter was recently recorded on CD by my brother Kyle in New York.
I am itching to begin work on my next project, which is a horn choir piece with percussion called The Tears of Charlemagne. My plan is to check myself into the Orval Monastery in Belgium to achieve the silence and divine inspiration that I need!
Kristina, enjoying the second month of her one-year sabbatical from the Flemish Radio Orchestra, has recently begun her training as a Reiki master, and will be accompanying me to Orval to spend a few days in meditation while I’m composing.
While on tour with the OPL, I met up with Radek Baborak in Berlin. Radek expressed an interest in commissioning me for a piece for horn and string quartet. This could be my next project.
