Hello and happy spring. The birds are tweeting as I type this. That's the only tweeting I can abide.
I'm kicking things off the month with a show tonight (Saturday June 3) at Bailey's Corner, a favorite venue with an especially fun collaborator. Cello'n'Drums in the woods on an island. Here is a video of us playing Marrakech at a recent show.
On July 6th, I'm doing my concert with the Whidbey Island String Trio. Find tickets here for that WIST show at Dancing Fish Vineyards Dancing Fish Vineyards
Here's a is a video from our trio's debut concert, last month. This is Cow Buoy
Whidbey Island String Trio has prompted me to create a catalog of trio sheet music for 2 cellos and 1 violin. This collection includes several pieces that I reworked from cello quintets and quartets as well as some brand new ones.
These are all available on my Sheet Music PDF page . On that page you can see that I have also made my existing catalog of printed cello ensembles all available as PDFs.
There are four new titles and more coming. These will be also soon be available as cello trios. One piece is an arrangement of 'Music For A Found Harmonium' by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra'. I've only published sheet music of my own compositions so far, but have started to do arrangements of some of my favorite tunes by others.
I recently did an arrangement of Blackbird (by the outstanding songwriting duo, Jack Lemon and Joe McCarthy). That one is almost ready for publication... I just have to figure out how to notate the fingerpicking.
I am especially pleased to finally have an arrangement of New Toy. This video of New Toy is a solo loop version. Now you only need two friends instead of a looper.
