Well...it started out as a fugue. I began thinking to use the trumpet in the opening as the subject. My mistake was a far too early break from writing for a walk on the beach and the fugue sort of stayed behind. But you guessed correctly...I like the sound of the title. A purist would frown heavily I suppose, but....! Maybe, "Incomplete Fugue of the Desert Sun"? [:)]

Thanks for taking the time to listen, Mike. I appreciate it.
Good luck with the Copland Mock-up. Not an easy task by any means.

BRIAN:

Sorry this was diverted. I listened to your music - nice job and keep up the good work.

Thanks for the kind words, William. I've read alot of your posts here and I hold your opinion in high regard. Are any of your compositions available for preview online?

All the best,

-Brian

I have some on the user demos though I need to revise them.

Besides the other composers' demos there, I think some of the best things done with VSL I've heard are Jay Bacall's orchestrations of Mompou on another thread. Extremely expressive and subtle dynamics, and a very good sound.

This is a closed topic . . . . [:)]

Chris-

I do have a short fuse, yes, and did not understand. I have liked and been very interested in your other posts... sorry for the flames.

Will,
Hey, no problem. Now, back to the music, eh? I'll go ahead and remove (or edit out since I can't figure out how to delete posts) that last post. Let's clean up this forum, shall we? Um . . . what was that thread where I commented on your language? Can't seem to remember.
