A couple weeks of holidays and procrastination has past for me, and now I can present to y'all my latest music project. As a more developed musician and composer, I see it fit I produce something more lengthy and grander. Inspiration for this is my Mother. Recently, see's been sharing more and more of her stories from band class, starting from elementary school when she played the violin and flute, then to middle school where she played the tenor sax for a bit then discovered her love/fascination for clarinet, and high school where she went on to achieve colligete skill levels on that and trumpet too. She's told me the stories of the Mahler and Beethoven symphonies she absolutely hated and the marching band arrangements of Sir Duke and Send in The Clowns.

She's been growing sicker now too. So with a story to chronicle, developed songwriting skills, and an obligation, I'll embark on another creative journey for these next couple months or so to create a clarinet concerto in her name. It'll be a four movement orchestral suite, totaling what I'm guessing'll be around 20-30min. The prelude being one of them, the remaining three movements will represent Elementary, Middle, and High School. Instrumentation for each movement will vary some too, so added intriguige awaits us all.

I have Pandora fired up with Kenny G, The Beegees, and every Mahler symphony and I'm plotting evil... I mean music :) So that's what's up on this channel. Thanks for reading. Here's to making my Mother proud. After all, I wrote a symphony for two women not even half as close to me as my Mom is, so I believe it's time I return her the favor.
