Sowash: 2nd movement, Suite for Three Violins.

I wrote my Suite for Three Violins in 1989 but it has never been performed.  Two summers ago it was recorded and after a long wait, the editing has been completed and the recording is ready to be heard.

Everything happens slowly in the world of classical music.  It can takes years to share a new composition.  By then, the piece is no longer new, strictly speaking.  Still, it’s new to the listeners.

Finally, this week, a new CD featuring the Suite for Three Violins along with two other chamber works of mine and four by my friend and co-producer of the CD, Mark Louis Lehman, will be released.

The new CD is entitled Notes from the Midwest:  Seven Chamber Works by Two Cincinnatians.

In keeping with my policy of sharing my work, free, to the greatest extent possible, I am going to give away this new CD to friends and fans, near and far.

If you’re a Cincinnati-area friend, expect me to push this CD into your hands next time we meet.  If you’re farther away, expect to find this CD in your mailbox.  (Have you given me your address?  If not, please reply with that information.)

Meanwhile, to hear the second movement from my Suite for Three Violins, played with snap and verve by three superb Cincinnati violinists -- Kris Frankenfeld, Frankie Howard and Elizabeth Steva — and recorded by the great Cincinnati sound engineer John Burgess, click here:
