Haiku and Moments are up on the Drunken Generals Music tab and can be purchased through Paypal.

New Band Piece

Sat, 22 May 2010 00:00:00 -0700

It's called 'Haiku' and it's just that, a big haiku. A haiku is a Japanese poem that takes the form of three verses. The first verse is five syllables, the second is seven syllables and the last is five syllables. 'The river is calm, fish and water life enjoy, it's smooth existence.' The new piece is for Concert Band and is in the process of looking for publisher-ship. Enjoy the rough recording of my latest piece, it's under the Concert Pieces section on my music page.
