Wow, I had a nice evening yesterday, working with Big Band Friesland from Leeuwarden, a very good amateur big band that’s working hard to increase their level of playing on every rehearsal. They have recently bought my piece Fight the Vacansopapurosophobia!!!, and I was very pleased to hear that one of the trombone players could actually pronounce the title! Their conductor Arend Huisman gave me a lot of time to work with the band on the piece, and we made some good progress. I think that’s gonna sound just fine in a couple of weeks.
In addition to this I’ve been asked by the band to write an original composition especially for them, so now the Vacansopapurosophobia can start all over again…
