The deadline for receipt of applications for the next cycle is April 16, 2005. The purposes of the grant are to encourage performers at all levels of development (elementary performing ensemble through professional) to experience the value of working closely with a composer, to cultivate audiences for new music that is based on the traditions established prior to the mid-twentieth century, and to encourage composer/performer/audience interaction. The grant supports the commissioning of composer, Sy Brandon, and covers the cost of the commission fee, the copying and reproduction of parts, and the composer residency. Applicants must be individuals or organizations residing in the United States or Canada. Successful grant winners include the Golden Gate Wind Quintet, the Euphouria Quartet, the Trio di Camerati, the French Road School Elementary School Band and Orchestra, the San Jose Metropolitan Band, as well as individual artists. The works that have been commissioned have been performed at regional and international conferences and on National Public Radio. For application and further information, visit or contact: Co-op Press Commission Assistance Program P.O.

Their holdings are absolutely astounding and most major rep is listed. Mike "d. sleeman" To Sent by: trombone-l-bounce cc s@samford.edu Subject [Trombone-l] Instrumentation 03/14/05 09:27 AM Listmates, Is there a kind of database that one can contact to find out the instrumentation of some particular symphony? To find out whether there are 3 or 4 trombones, or 3 trombones + tuba, that kind of information. Thanks, Dick Sleeman, Lelystad, Holland. _______________________________________________ Trombone-l mailing list Trombone-l@maillists.samford.edu http://maillists.samford.edu/mailman/listinfo/trombone-l From: Gabriel Langfur Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 05:38:50 -0800 (PST) To: Trombones and related issues forum Subject: [Trombone-l] ETW I'll be at the Eastern Trombone Workshop this weekend - http://www.easterntromboneworkshop.org/index.html - at Fort Myer, VA, manning the Shires exhibit. Please stop by and say hello! Gabe Gabe Langfur Boston, MA From: Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2005 08:34:58 -0800 To: Trombones and related issues forum , Subject: [Trombone-l] New Nestico Rehearsed with Sammy Nestico last night, and wanted to pass on Sammy's enthusiasm for a project he has just released. "A Portrait of Sammy" is available at www.sammynesticomusic.com/. Contains some reorchestrations of Nestico classics from the Basie band days, and some new music. Sammy managed and financed the entire project, and believes it to be his best work to date. Trombone content: Sammys session books were labeled "Charlie," "Andy," "Dick," and "Phil." Not a bad group! (Loper, Martin, Nash, Teele, I assume.) Many charts featured trombone jazz -- Sammy says he really favors the sound. He is working on a new project due to record with the SWR Big Band in Germany in May, hence the read-through last night. Also has arranged a feature for trumpeter Wayne Bergeron that looks fun and should record soon. At age 81, by the way, Sammy looks 15 years younger and remains wonderfully engaged with music, life, and work. yours, Mark Lewis Oceanside, CA. _______________________________________________ Trombone-l mailing list Trombone-l@maillists.samford.edu http://maillists.samford.edu/mailman/listinfo/trombone-l
