A new piece for EasterI had a new piece premiered last Sunday, called 'The Sepulchre at Sunrise'; it combined several kinds of improvisation and non-coordinated playing with basically diatonic material. It was meditative and reverent but also seemed full of anticipation, like the opening of an Indian classical piece (before the tablas begin). My thanks to the youth handbell choir at Holy Trinity Methodist Church in Danvers, as well as trumpet soloist Sam Hoyland and flautist Sarah Vandewalle. I think the recording will be available soon at holytrinitymusic.com, complete with crowd noise and comments from the babies in the congregation.
