Am thrilled to announce that SOMEWHERE I HAVE NEVER TRAVELED is being published by Carl Fischer for their 2015 catalogue. The text is by Dr. Thomas Troeger, and his words are inspirational. I couldnt be more grateful to Denise Eaton for her faith in me as a man, as a musician and composer. THANK YOU DENISE. The poetry: SOMEWHERE I HAVE NEVER TRAVELED Somewhere I have never traveled is the place I long to be- its hills, its plains, and streams are known yet unknown to me- just beyond the last vision of my waking dreams, over the edge of the minds vast sea and still past that to a farther rim- there, precisely there, marked on no map or chart but glimpsed through hope, through the reach and the stretch of the yearning heart and the wordless prayer it offers when the land Ive walked and the silhouette of the hills against the last leaning light of day are carried off in the rising breath of wind blowing through the darkened cedars that sway and bow to the music sounding from somewhere I have never traveled. This is the second composition of mine that has been included in the Carl Fischer catalogue in as many years. Am grateful. Will feature this new work at Carnegie Hall in May 2015. THANK YOU Kathy Bizarth for commissioning this work! This is the first work I composed after Mothers death (in Robbiate and Conegliano, Italy). I can only hope that it will be inspirational to all that perform it. Be blessed. Its Friday. I know I am. J PS Order the music in January :)
