Sounds like an exciting experience, and it beats playing folks like Webern. You are lucky to have participated.

That sounds really cool Karen.

Tom, who is Webern?
I performed a few things like this in college. One was called "Pig Rolling: Overture to a schizophrenic table, no legs, no top." The composer for that was a really nice guy too, he came to all the rehearsals and coached us, but I never quite "got it."
This piece Executive Orders is really much more accessible, without being trite or weird. I'm excited to play a new piece that people without degrees in music can enjoy listening to. And, I like that it's about important U.S. historical events. I'd like to hear more music with that kind of a perspective.
