Merry Christmas!

I would like to wish everyone out there a Merry Christmas!  As a way of thanking our supporters and members, I am giving to you free music downloads.  Included in these downloads are two pieces I have composed.  The first is my solo cello piece from 2004 Lines in the Sand.  The other piece is Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow for trombone quartet which was composed in 1998.

These free downloads will be available through the end of 2008.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Brian Bice

Audio Archive

About a month ago I checked out the Society of Composer's, Inc. (SCI) website.  I don't normally do this because I am not currently a member.  Well, I found an interesting audio archive.  The original 10 American Society of University Composers (ASUC)/SCI albums have been digitized and posted on the website.  The collection is quite fascinating.  I have been listening to some of these albums.  Currently, I have listened to #1, 2 & 8.  It is an archive worth checking out.

You can visit the archive by going to the SCI website: www.societyofcomposers.org or by clicking on the direct link to the archive here: http://anton.som.ohio-state.edu/portal/

Hilary Hahn - Schoenberg and Sibelius Review

Hilary Hahn’s latest recording is one that is not to be missed.  The Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen joins her on this recording.  Ms. Hahn makes a seemingly unlikely pairing of two concertos by two major composers of the early 20th Century.  Arnold Schoenberg and Jean Sibelius.  They are two of the more diametrically opposed composers from the first half of the 20th Century.  However, upon listening to these works and learning more about how these pieces came to be, the pairing may actually be a logical choice.

To read the whole review and see the rating check out the album reviews section.
