Emptying the finale folder

April 13, 2022 by Tom Council 1 Comment

Dear Colleagues, Directors and Friends:

I have had a wonderful short composing career since I left full-time high school choral directing. I have had some great publishers to take a chance with my music and many choirs to sing my pieces. But, I still have a folder on my desktop that reads “music to work and publish”, or the folder could read “do something with this music”. I have reached the age in life that now is the time to do something. So, I apologize that I will now “do something with this music” over the next year(s) good, bad, or indifferent. Thanks to a wonderful friend who is teaching me how to put scores on youtube with music.
I begin with “We Will Remember Them” that I wrote in 2014 for the death of our son and his good friend the next year. Today I dedicate it to those in Ukraine who have lost their lives.
