Hello listeners! Hello world! This past week, I decided to set up a meeting to change my Master's degree concentration from Performance to Music Composition/Music Theory. As, the first meeting went down, I was advised to contact the head of the Composition program to find out if we could meet and and discuss the change. I was asked to leave my master composition book for him to peruse and critique. What ended up happening was unexpected. I heard earlier in the day that he made mention that he could not teach me anything and wondered why I wanted to study composition. Although he loved my music. I then met with him that same evening and he asked me questions and told me his observations. And then he made the stark revelation that made me feel a bit numb. He first asked if he could hold on to the master book for a week. He asked if he could talk to and show some professors here my music. I agreed to all of this. And then he told me why. The reason was because he wanted to set the music down for recordings. Now, you may be wondering why this is a big deal, but they would be premier performances either from concerts or in conjunction with concerts. This is all very exciting and takes a lot of work out of my hands and here is why. The performers who are willing to do these recordings are established in the field of music and thus the distribution to many of the forums I have asked about would not be such an impediment as it is right now. But what I am concerned about more is allowing people to enjoy music and to make my music accessible. So, please stay tuned as I will make future announcements concerning this project. And again, thank you for all of your support and I love hearing from you. I am in the beginnings of creating the next set of compositions. The first set which you hear music from is from the "North Dakota Collection". I am now composing the "New York Collection". So, stay tuned as to what is going on. I hope that you may be able to in the future hear a piece of my music in concert or a concert of my music. Have a great one! Sincerely, Tayren
