Sibelius Music (www.sibeliusmusic.com)

I've made the switch to hosting my scores at Sibelius Music. After some investigation, I'm convinced that this is the best way to go for now. They have a great collection of music and it is well organized, presented and maintained. I have been a long-time user of Sibelius, having used their software for composition since the first version of it came out in the late 90s.

Otherwise, there isn't a lot to report other than that there are a lot of projects that are underway. I've got new pieces for "Shades of Silver and String" and "Sounds of a Sphere", a new flute quartet (to be performed at one of the Silveridge orchestra concerts), as well as a new composition for concert band (to be performed at one of the Mesa Band concerts). My recital of students and friends (December 5th) is coming up and we're rehearsing a lot for that. Then, of course, there's the swing band, the concert band, the orchestra... Not to mention that Anali and I are attending the Phoenix Symphony this Friday for Dvorak's New World Symphony. It's a great mixture of composing, teaching, rehearsing, performing, and attending concerts--the five 'food groups' of any healthy musician's life.

Oh, right... Thanksgiving is tomorrow too.  :-)  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
