Sure -- I'm always open to new possibilities and even if it won't be
right for my community band, I speak with others for whom it might be a
perfect fit.
Thanks!

I don't know yet--it's only been out a few weeks. The "wind ensemble"
marking was MMB's idea rather than mine. Would you like me ot send you a
promo-blurb, David?

And, as one who can be excessively finicky about which instrument plays
what, I swore a long time ago that the word "band" would never appear on
any of my title pages precisely because of its imprecise meaning. It's
interesting that MMB Music wrote "Wind Ensemble" on my recently
published
Haydn overture transcription (which, btw, includes a specially
transposed
oboe part for an obbligato clarinet to be used if no oboe is available).
Interesting -- how many copies have been sold?
As the director of a community band I don't even bother looking at
scores marked "Wind Ensemble" because of the more finicky
instrumentation requirements. Which really doesn't matter much except
to me and my band, but I am curious about the sales figures (not
specifics, of course, but have you sold "a few" "some" "a lot" "enough
to retire on") since all the other community band directors I know feel
the same way.
