As part of a technical discussion on the Finale list I came across:
A Prayer for Peace
by Terry Vosbein
for string orchestra
and wind ensemble
A quote from the composer:
"The music ... is a composition I wrote after the sept 11th
events...I am distributing it for free to anyone who would like to play
it...There are two versions, one for wind ensemble and one for string
Orchestia."
My own technical comments:
I have not seen this way of distribution until now. There are no files to be downloaded. The browser triggers an Adobe .pdf reader (which also is free for the download from Adobe). The printing has to happen from the browser window. I have testprinted a few pages as a part of the cited tech discussion. It works. The combined number of pages to print for score and parts is just short of 50. I have specifically asked the composer, if I were allowed to distribute the link given below. I was.
I have not heard the music, but my reading tells of interesting scale patterns. No great technical demands, but strong calls for musicality and sense of ensemble.
