Description
This was from my 1st Classical CD, Changing Colors, from about 1991– put out by Summit Records–who pretty much stopped promoting the CD because of a royalties dispute–they wanted to cheat me. But it still is available from them but also from me. Natalie is getting it up on Bandcamp soon too. I feel the need to let the world know more about my early CDs. She is helping me a lot!
Courante was one of the 1st pieces I ever composed. After that I promised myself to compose at least one piece on each of my CDs. To date I have done that whether jazz or classical. My next and (likely last) CD will be recorded in January. It will be a Country Music CD. So I am writing a country tune now–it’s a challenge.
The players on the Courante recording were:
Doug Masek, Alto Sax
Bill Booth, Trombone
Jim Self, Tuba
This publication comes with only parts and no score.
