"Hidden Wisdom" for Concert band

 

Stylistically, this work will be energetic, melodic, with lots of percussion, great for a concert opener. The piece will be approximately 3-4 minutes in length, and of medium difficulty (Grade 3-4), making the work very accessible to a variety of ensembles.

 

The commissioning cost per school is $375 (or $125 for student conductors), and will include a set of parts & score (on June 26) and lifetime performance rights following the premiere/recording by the lead commissioner. 

 

NOTE: I am seeking a lead commissioner for this collaboration to make the official world premier, but all consortium performances will be considered premieres and should be indicated in programs and concert announcements. Benefits to leading this consortium to include: 

• Exclusive rights to the official world premiere

• Top billing as “Lead Commissioner” in the score & all supporting materials

• First name listing amongst all commissioners

 

If interested in leading this commission, please send a direct email here. All other interested persons should visit the commission website to register for this consortium.

 

The final edition, when published, will list co-commissioners in the front matter of the score. The fee should be paid directly to William May (WARM Productions, LLC) via PayPal or Check:
