Welcome to Wisconsin

Greetings from Chippewa Falls! We're up here for the premiere of the new piece, which is this weekend. For those who don't know, I should bring you up to date on the title:

THRENODY

A threnody is defined as "A poem or song of mourning or lamentation". I like the simplicity and purity of this title -- it allows the music to speak for itself. The piece is very, very simple, but I think it is effective. I'm really looking forward to hearing this for the first time, and I'll tell you more about the trip on Monday.

Jim,

If I didn't tell you enough today, Threnody was absolutely beautiful. The ensemble sold that piece. Was a pleasure meeting you.
