If you want me to amend your entry on this list, please either reply on this thread or send me a PM

Hmmph, I don't think I could come then. Did you look up Leicestershire? I can give you my school so you can check for me.

PM flying its way into your inbox Nicki!

I am not sure I can make it

I have an orchestra rehearsal, and a concert the Thursday after.

I really would have liked to to come though

A pity Nicki.

Currently three conductors on the list (katyjay, Jo and myself).

If no-one else comes forward to share the conducting, I'm quite happy to conduct all of the compositions. I'll have a chance to exercise my clari and any other instruments in Jo's piece(s).

I will be a composer too... If anyone's interested in playing my obscure music...

I like the key, I'll let you know if I can come.

Saves writing out 'but not 24/3/07' all the time!

There's a chance you can do 24/3 then Nicki? Shall I delete the ' ' from your name?

Well, the probability is that I can't, but you never know, the concert might be moved, the rehearsal might be changed. So, don't bank on me to do anything,although I would have loved to have done my CWB solo

I'll leave the there for the moment then Nicki, and keep my fingers crossed that it just might change into a ' ' .

Or youi could change it to a

That's a good idea!

edit : fell foul of the 'too many emoticons' rule, so have put 'checking' against your name, and will rewrite the list in a different way when there's more changes to be made.

How many more am I allowed??

As far as I know we should be OK for 24th March. Has anything been decided about where the event will take place. My head is not where it should be at the moment so please forgive me if it's been stated and I've missed it. Just too much stuff going on at the moment!

I'm interested but i don't know
I'm piano, flute and singing (maybe guitar but unlikely)

Will be in the south-east, in all probability. Specific details will, I'm sure, be forthcoming from katyjay when everything's confirmed. I'll move your daughters to list A, if of course anything changes, do let me know.



Onto list B you go, thank you for showing interest musicbox.

When would compositions be wanted by??

To give you an idea, I had CWB pretty much up and ready to go 7 weeks or so before the Woodford concert. If the recording session does end up being 24th March, I'd say aim for the end of January-ish.

While I'm here, if you have a piece that you think might be suitable, but needs expanding so that lots of us can play it, do let me know. If you feel apprehensive about expanding it yourself, let me know how you'd like the expansion done, and I'll try and do it for you (with the (slight) condition that I don't want to be inundated - I'd have to draw the line at about five or so expansions - I've got a lot of arrangements and compositions on the go at the moment!).

Could you move me up to list A please Barry. Whilst I obviously can't guarantee for definite, I'd so much like to be there so it will be a priority in my diary.

cheers

Have altered the list just above this post for you Amber.

Total in list A is now a very encouraging 16.

I have one piece being worked on that has 12 parts, but its rather strange, so I have no idea what it might sound like until I get 12 people together to play it. The biggest piece I have apart from that is for clarinet and piano... Again I havn't got someone to play it with me yet!

All sounds very promising Rosemary!

Thanks! If my 12 part piece sounds okay, I can add a few more parts. 12 is just the number I could fit onto one piece of paper And the maximum number of musicians I could hope to get to play it at my school, and thats pushing it As I said its very strange... I mentioned it in the theory and composition forum.

Some parts, if need be, can always be played by more than one person.

True. I need to think about it though!

put me on the list barry. As long as you've not got 132 bars of evil pizzicato lined up for me.

I've changed the 'cello part for CWB now to reduce the amount of playing time. I'll add some bowed sections if you like meerkat.

About to update list for you.

Please let me know of any alterations you want me to make to your entry.

Because the solo bit is so fast it would probably work best bowed - would that mess up the sound you're trying to make Barry?

This seems like a decent enough idea. I would be interested in composing something specifically as long as a definite (within the realms of the internet that is a sketchy term at best) ensemble is provided. You mentioned you wanted all the players involved so I would have no problem doing that.

However, if indeed you decide my offer is worthy of your cause, I would ask that all copyright would be retained by myself as far as the written music is concerned, and that I may use the recording for any purposes such as showreels etc...I can provide parts and full score for the conductor electronically (I trust you on this). Also i presume it means I wouldnt have to pay for the recording right? Erm... does that sound really bad (tightness-wise)?

Anyways I'll follow the thread in regards to it happening or not...

It'll be fine for you to use your bow for the solo. You could bow through katyjay's vocal bits too if you like, leaving the pizzicato for the instrumental solo accompaniments.

Arghh, I've just realised that this date clashes with my Choral Society's big big concert (to celebrate their 40th anniversary.)

Soddit, soddit, soddit.

That's a shame.

*goes to change list*

You could bow it col legno for a percussive effect?

That never actually occured to me... If we are providing compositions do we have to pay?

Participants in the recording session will pay a small fee, composers, unless I've missed reading something to the contrary in previous posts, won't have to pay any fee.

Thats good... Theres no way I could get money to anyone anyway! Will the recordings be put on the forum recordings site?

Got to confirm it with Hubby, but 24/3 sounds good.

Can offer Soprano voice + Oboe doubling Cor Anglais ( personally I prefer playing my Cor)

Where is the location? Have car will travel.

When you have more info let me know.

Do you want me to compose anything?

Have I missed where this eventis going to be held? With all the things going on in my life at the moment then it's not suprising!

I assume it's a secret location in case we are swamped by fans

You haven't missed anything. I haven't had a final confirmation yet, due to various issues with the proprietor of the premises I was planning we'd use. I will make a clear announcement once it's sorted.

Sorry for the delay and uncertainty.

Abbey Road...Naturally

No way can we afford Abbey Road. And it's booked out for years in advance.

Well that's my idea of having a photo of four forum members on that famous zebra crossing outside the studio out of the window then....

We can use any zebra crossing no-one will ever know. Bound to be one nearby surely. Brill idea for the CD sleeve Barry!
