    Part one of a larger, yet intimately orchestrated, work composed by Evan Evans, and commission by TIMOTCA, a peace keeping division of the United Nations UNESCO, is now available as a fully notated manuscript. The title of the larger work "The Struggles Of An Artist" deals primarily with the fight the inner creative force has with society and all it's "required" parameters. The first movement of the conclusive Part V for instance is titled "Freedom Of Expression" and attempts to express art in the form of music that has no shackles.

    Part One, "Suppression", is for Brass Quartet and is mostly in mutes. It utilizes brass bends, slow mute-to-open transitions, pedal tones, breath, tongue-smacks, tone clusters, half-valvings and many more interesting techniques to convey a feeling of spirit being quashed by society and it's vices, and yet "struggling" to express itself with all the weights upon itself.

    It is now available as a Score in C. 4 pages, 100 bars.

    You can find it at the following location:
    Suppression by Evan Evans - Score in C

    The accompanying Audio CD is also available.

    CM,

    Well my profit is about 7 cents! hehe. But I would if you guys need it. But that place charges 4.99 for teh paper sleeve CD for instance and I marked it up a whopping 1 cent to $5.00 even.

    [:)]

    A true artist at heart huh? Always in poverty.

    Evan,

    I listened to the very short excerpt, and it sounds quite interesting... please tell me those aren't samples!

    jbm,

    Yeah, I forgot. I didn't get CMs joke at first. Thought he meant for using samples. Now I understand he meant for advertising it "for sale". I put for sale in quotes becuase IT ISN'T. I am making next to nothing on it. I posted it here because fo rthe price of copying paper and burning a CD anyone can check it out. Anyway, as you asked me to tell you:

    They are not samples. [:)]

    It's a professional union recording by LA musicians.

    I think it's 3 to 5 years old (haven't checked the date on teh composition), so my skills and "personal voice" have developed more and differently since, but I still find it a fascinating work and thought I could share it with you all under teh context of it containing interesting brass techniques.

    Enjoy!

    Yours,
    Evan Evans

    Evan,

    Why are you talking about yourself in the third person?

    --------------------------

    nicks@aubergine.co.uk completed this missive with gleaming grammar, mischievous use of metaphor, and accomplished alliteration, to create an thoroughly idiomatic message, from the golden age of fora contributions.

    Part 1 of the message (titled "Salutation"), comprising a single, piquant nuon, carefully focused attention on the target of the message.

    Part 2 ("The Message") posed an enquiry, succinctly referring to the message at the top of the thread, using a combination of verbs, nouns and adjectives.

    The entire message is now available on this forum, 11 words long.

    It's just a promotional. It was copied and pasted from other sources. I am not interested in it myself. So I have to be in 3rd person to promote it!

    Nick, really, next time you think of pulling something like that, consider the damage to my lungs.

    and has been supplemented - presumably as a bonus - with an eloquent punctuation mark [:P]
