Review of Cordelia by Gaetana Caldwell-Smith


Click here to read it.  Anna does not, in fact do any singing in the play.  We teased her about that all last evening to the effect of, "Well, Gaetana said so, so now you have to sing!"

Excerpt from Penelope



Amy Likar commissioned this piece from me, and she is playing it in this recording from December 18th. The music has three lines, one for piccolo sounds, one for vocal sounds, and one for footsteps. It's good to hear a piccolo player make all the sounds they're capable of! Or maybe just most of them.
